    Biker Down First Aid course

    I took the course early this year. I've already forgotten a lot of it.

    Do you do a pre-flight check before every ride?

    I don't do a check every time I ride. I know I should.

    Peak Design - 40% Off Sale Motorcycle Mounts

    That's amazing that they paid for the Apple repair. For an iPhone 12, that must have been a substantial amount of money. Good for them! I am indeed cautious with vibration dampeners. None of them claim (understandably) to dampen all the relevant frequencies, so if some of them are getting...

    Peak Design - 40% Off Sale Motorcycle Mounts

    LOL. I was walking up to second floor in our house and we could hear you roar off down the street. Your car sounds awesome!

    Peak Design - 40% Off Sale Motorcycle Mounts

    Big - and delayed - shout out and thank you to @Evoex who gave me the stem mount. I was curious and it is indeed as nice as described. The quality really shines through in a way that neither my RAM nor Quadlock mounts do. I knew their camera stuff was top-notch, but now I know their mounts...

    3D Printing out of production motorcycle parts (including metal) keeps the classics on the road.

    So, I was digging around trying to find the name of the company that had gone under (it was Airtech). I found my way back to a thread where an email was posted from the owner saying that it was "too late" and that the molds had gone in the dumpster. But, after I found some posts from someone...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Lol that "Lamtto" is now a benchmark! Let us know how it works.

    I WON!!!!

    That's too bad. I searched and couldn't find something like that. Every video demonstrating "tight" figure-8s were in bigger spaces. Closest I could come was Goldwings doing it in 2x2. I bet a video like that could pick up a lot of views. EDIT: Here's one video of a Goldwing. I'm not...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Did you check places like Aliexpress? I would wager the same products (perhaps under different names) are available. It’s still buying from China, but at least you avoid the America part. Edit: @PacoT beat me to it.

    I WON!!!!

    Do you have a video of that? I know guys do figure eights in 2x2 parking spots with Goldwings - which is crazy - but doing it in a single spot in any bike seems a world more mind boggling to me. As I try to imagine it, I think it would have been hard for me on my old BMX bike. EDIT: Not...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Speaking of...if this were closer I'd seriously consider buying it. 1986 Yamaha radian 600 CA$700 Selling my dads old bike due to not being able to use anymore - Retro sporty classic, needs a few things to restore it's beauty (I'd remove huge wind shield personally) but solid runner. Has new...

    R1300 triple black

    To my eye that bike has the same blocky look through the front half as the Desert X: Is all that thickness through the middle for an extra-large fuel tank?

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I thought the Radian was a nice looking bike in the right color scheme. I seemed to remember it being a little more angular though.

    3D Printing out of production motorcycle parts (including metal) keeps the classics on the road.

    Not sure there would be profit, but enthusiasts might scan them for their mutual benefit. Maybe offer the models for sale, to be downloaded and printed by the end user/buyer. I know the profit motive dominates our thinking, but the success of open source software shows that people are willing...

    3D Printing out of production motorcycle parts (including metal) keeps the classics on the road.

    I wonder why there aren't (more?) people scanning and 3-d printing plastics for older bikes. There was a company that made replacement parts for a bunch of bikes, including my 87 Hurricane. When I lost all its plastics in a fire, I went looking for that company again. Sadly, I understand the...

    increase-in-motorcycle-fatalities-leads-to-bike-safety-talks

    When I sold a bike last year I had a guy who was all ready to buy. But he refused to meet at his house (the bike was at my sister's house; she has nice stuff and I didn't want people seeing them). Fine, but then he refused to go with me to the MTO to transfer ownership, and said he would refuse...

    The ABBA Skylift. It’s even sweeter. You can lift the front end at a pretty steep angle to save even more space or make it easier to move around. Way too rich for my blood though. Thanks for the screenshots. I may pull the trigger, as long as whatever screws into the bike doesn’t look too ugly.

    I've bought quite a few things from AliExpress for my bikes and not yet been disappointed, even while fully expecting to be. I'm looking at their Bursig clones. I don't see anything like those on AliExpress. I have a problem which could be solved if I could rotate my bike around easily in a...

    shop-motea.com Experiences?

    @PacoT I'd be happy to take a look at those posts - especially to figure out which domain they ordered from. This might have been the stand you were looking at? It's their Bursig clone - I don't see an ABBA-style clone. He links to motea.com. As far as I can tell, "Constands" is branded and...

    Here's a few reviews or experiences I found about "Motea". I provide them not as proof that they are (or are not) legit - but just to show that there are experiences people have reported - they are mixed in terms of overall support, but nothing that clearly indicates it is an out-and-out scam...
