I finally did it! I sold my Harley Sportster 1200 and bought the motorcycle the internet has been urging me to get for two years now: the Triumph Bonneville T120! For the Harley-haters, sorry to disappoint but there’s no drama or trash talk in this breakup. I loved and miss my Harley, but...

Props to whoever this guy was for how he handled the situation: There's some debate over on reddit on whether or not the marshals were marshalling up to snuff or not: I'm not well versed enough in track days for my opinion to be worth two *****, but maybe others here can chime in.

Ontario Drive Test Centers be like... "Congratulations, you passed!"

In the battle of humans versus insurance companies, one simple human scored a small win yesterday. He is me. I took insurance off of the Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 because I sold it yesterday, and I put it on another bike... Let's call it NewBike. Agent on the phone told me NewBike...

And also five things I loved about being a motorcycle salesperson at a dealership... because, can't lie, the job was great to me... even if I was too new to be great at the job. Filmed in the Abruzzo mountains of central Italy, except for the opening 30 seconds in my garage. If you don't like...

I know, I know, everyone is posting about motorcycle shops closing... The boomer tubers blame the millennials for being too afraid to look up from their cell phones and get on a motorcycle. The millennials blame the boomers for normalizing not paying people a living wage and driving up the cost...

I've never been a Husqvarna fan, but when Studio Cycle offers to let you borrow a new Svartpilen 801 for four days, you don't stop to ask questions. Within the first few car lengths I was filtering between lanes. At 400-420 lbs wet, it feel like it weighs nothing. I was determined to take the...

Like to ride your motorcycle? Don't like things slowing you down? Well have I got some good news for you! Seems like more and more Royal Enfield 650s are suffering from brake failures, typically in the rear, due to air getting into the ABS system. What I'm kind of "happy" about, if you can...

If you read my other thread, My Harley is dumb and fun to ride... Just like your mom, I bought a Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 not because I'm some uneducated Sportster douche who thinks it's actually a good motorcycle. No sir, not me. I am a thoroughly educated Sportster douche, who knows...

My BMW G650GS wouldn't start today. Multimeter said the lithium battery had 1.8v. Fuuuuuuuu...n. Now I'm wondering if it was the battery that failed me, or if I failed the battery... because in truth, I left stuff plugged in that I normally wouldn't. It went like this: Lithium battery -->...

About a month ago I bought a 2019 Harley-Davidson Iron 1200. We do a lot of two up riding so I had to buy a two-up seat for it, because rear seat sold separately, and this started a domino effect of mods: If you buy a two-up seat you'll also need passenger pegs, because also sold separately...

I did my first ever resonator delete mod. I really like it, and it costs only about $50-60 CAD, which is perfect because I'm cheap AF! haha On the BMW F750GS, the resonator box is located between the catalytic converter and the muffler. It's about an 8 lb box that silences the sound and helps...

Does anyone have any personal experience with these chinese made handheld welders from Temu and the like? Not my video, I just like how succinct it is: Do I need a welder? No. Could I have used one in the past when my trailer fenders started crapping out left and right? Yup. Am I looking...

I think I may have finally gotten good enough at changing tires to make a video showing others how to do it... or maybe not, we'll see :rolleyes: So here's my how to change a Yamaha Tracer rear tire video, which includes: 1) How to remove wheel from motorcycle 2) How to remove old tire from...

Hey all, need the help of wiser folk if you can spare a few minutes. Q1: Is this tube tire too big? Tire is an 80-100/19. This is the tube I was sold: Q2: How tight should the little nut that goes around the valve stem be? Tight AF? Just snug? Q3: No *pop!* *pop!* sound of the bead seating...

Inspired by @TK4 sending me a picture of himself in a speedo.

A lot of motorcyclists (and would-be Vespa owners) don't seem to realize that you can totally ride a Vespa on the 401... specifically, one of the GTS250 or GTS300 models, probably not most of the smaller ones. It's less of a "can you do it?" kind of issue and more of a "should you do it?" kind...

Last night I bought a (mag wheel) Triumph Bonneville from a first time rider. Nice guy, didn't know too much about his bike. He had a new front tire put on by the Triumph dealer where he lives. For some reason they put a Bridgestone Battlax S22. Seems like a more sport oriented tire. Weird, but...

Recently got gifted a neglected 09 Ninja 250 that's been sitting in storage for a couple years (only 15k km ish). Popped a battery in, no turning over, just a *click* sound whenever I hit the starter. Battery voltage good, all fuses good, hmm... I took out the starter relay on advice from a...
