I wouldn't be so concerned. "Like god intended" would have you going back to drum brakes, leaf springs and 3-speed hand shifters. Take a little bit of the new, make it look as old as you can, sprinkle in a bit of modern convenience, shake it up a little and sit back and enjoy the ride! (y)

I like Duran Duran too. If I ever owned a Triumph, I'd name it Simon Le Bonneville. Is that the door? I'll just show myself out.

This thread is solid proof that everyone has different aims and purposes when they swing a leg over. The trick to successful motorcycle selection is knowing exactly what you want out of riding, otherwise you're continually cutting and pasting other people's riding preferences into your garage...

Hey, I saw you guys at the meet yesterday! Is your picture photoshopped though? This was the photo I took. It looks a bit different from the one you posted:

I don't remember much of the 80s actually. Was black-out drunk most of the time. Is it still camping if you pass out on the ground and there's no sheet of nylon between your head and the sky? What if you do have a tent already set up but you don't actually make it inside? Asking for a friend...

OMG the memes that are coming out of this race... @Mods, please delete if not appropriate...

We camp for two reasons, sometimes we are so far into the bush there aren't accommodations for hours around. And other times, we are in super-expensive places that the only affordable place for non-ballers is sleeping on the ground. Was in some of the resort-towns in Colorado during high...

Jorge Martin proving to be quite the loose cannon both on and off-track. Not a huge fan of Balaton, passing opportunities few and far between on such a narrow track with a short straightaways. Miller was a rolling cork in the bottle for pretty much half the race, but kudos to him for great...

100%. Most riders are generalists and don't buy motorcycles for specific niche sports, like track, dirt, trials, etc. So if you're not deep into the performance aspect, then details like suspension, wheel size, wet weight and weight distribution, factory rubber, engine characteristics, etc...

That's an awesome bike! There are a few bikes on my Lust List, the S4RS is one of them.

Gynecologist wants a career change, goes to automotive school. For the final exam, the students have to repair an engine. After the test is over, she gets her mark back - 150%! A bit surprised, she asks the teacher, "How did I get over 100% on the exam?" Professor replies, "Well, you took apart...

Seems the same to me as well. It just appears to be worse at the beginning of the season: cagers are not used to seeing motorcyclists on the street, motorcyclists' skills are rusty, and there haven't been any motorcycle accidents or fatalities in recent memory because of winter.

Noice!

Depends. Is this hypothetical food being served free-of-charge by the organizer, or does the participant have to buy their own food? I have a hot dog budget if buying my own food, but if the hypothetical motorcycle shop were to offer free pizza to riders who show up, then Imma vote pizza...

On the trails, I bring a sachet of hotel shampoo, mix it up with some water from my CamelBak and smear it on the tire. Dirt bike tire, so YMMV.

Yep, sold almost all my ENB at the top, was eyeing a $72 buy back, never got there. Back up to $79 today. Shoulda Woulda Coulda.

If I had more ballz, I would have bought into O&G late last week - sector rotation.

Dropping like a rock, saved myself 10% so far. I'm thinking first tranche back in around 20% mark. Orange Turd will dangle an Iran deal again to support the market if it collapses, then it's Sell Time, rinse and repeat.

It's pushing that last bit of tire back into the rim that's the hardest part for me. Seems like it requires superhuman effort that I don't possess. Been really debating about getting this tool: Baja No-Pinch. https://www.amazon.ca/Baja-Pinch-Original-Tire-Changing/dp/B00J41H2DO Uses the hub...
