Finally, a micro scrambler motorcycle that I can off-road in my micro yard. Now if only I was two feet shorter everything would finally look proportional and not completely ridiculous.

I’m in the same boat. Looking for jeans but the ones that make me feel moderately safe are so expensive and the cheaper ones I’m disappointed that they have no other protection other than Kevlar for my “cheeks”.

And here too...

From my understanding, in my area Fire Fighters must be EMT certified. That's great as nowadays they can be first on the scene and rarely are needed to put out actual fires.

Other than “Don’t Panic”, the second most important piece of advice given in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

The smell of a new $100 bill

Then I'm weird too. I'm probably never going to see this motorcycle in real life but I'm definitely curious about it too.

Wow. All joking aside that's pretty scary and I hope he gets better soon. Hopefully it was just exhaustion or dehydration

Neutral: gas prices will eventually go up. Maybe not tomorrow but it will eventually.

I just wish the dealer support network in the U.S. was better and with their small numbers you’re a bit screwed if the only one in your area stinks (like here).

I just noticed the front turn signals were integrated into the levers. That just blew my mind.

I disagree- if someone has the will, they can learn. I have seen that most adults will happily pay $200 to have someone replace their home thermostat when they can do it easily themselves for the $20 part.

I think your question isn’t “how can I better understand cruisers” but more of “how can I be critical of cruisers without getting my head bitten off?”

What’s the thought on motorcycle application? I’ve never been happy with the visibility I get out of my motorcycle’s headlight at night. Upgraded to a high end halogen that helps a little but still not happy. I like the idea of me being more visible during the day and lifespan (a bulb burning out in the middle of…

I’ve tried to be positive about the looks of the Africa Twin but I just can’t get there. To me it looks just as weird or even weirder than the vstroms

Thanks for the info. Its interesting to read some of why bikes end up

A group of us traveled out west in college in an old Chevy van from Ohio. On the way back, the alternator goes out and the van dies with a dead battery. Being poor college students and not mechanically inclined all we thought to do is buy a battery charger. We then hop scotch from one gas station to another charging…

Maybe someone can help me out. Am I supposed to waive at those guys? When they come the other way when I'm on my motorcycle they wave and it takes me a second to figure out what that thing is.

Good advice and I think even average sized riders should remember some of these tips. With the wide range of bikes out there, you may run across one that’s taller than you’re used to even if you’re 5’10”.

Throwing this out there - is there any chance this could denote a competitor to the Kawi H2? Are they going to slap a supercharger on the R1? I’m pretty sure that doesn’t impact the reported cc’s, not sure about if there would be impacts to other parts of that doc (i.e. weight, etc)
