I’d recommend you ride another model just to compare. A few weeks ago I was on a Road King with the 107, Street Glide 114 and a Road Glide 107. All were very smooth and I enjoyed riding them a good bit. The 4th bike I tried at the demo was the Low Rider S with the 110 twin cam. The thing vibrated terribly and I did…

Having ridden the Mil8 engine in a few different models I know it’s a good engine but I’m wondering about bags and 2up comfort. Looking to get something a bit easier to ride with my wife but still retain some fun when I pull it out instead of my Street Triple. So, what do they expect to come out in bags with that…

Funny you had that experience. My $40 kickstarter watch keeps significantly better time than my Rolex. The Rolex is about 30 seconds fast every day and I have to reset it once a week or so and I always set it a minute slow.

Me too, I love the idea of making a business out of your hobby. Open a track that is accessible to people for a modest fee, start a club racing team or whatever. Something that you can participate in that brings you joy that becomes self sustaining so you don’t have to pour a bunch of money in it but that you can…

Yep, whenever I’m downtown I remark to my wife that if we lived down here I would absolutely have a scooter or a small bike like this. However, living and working in the suburbs I’d get killed on a daily basis. Unfortunately this bike is too big to be parked on the sidewalk/bike rack legally, 50cc and under is the…

Only time I ever bought the annual alignment package was with my lifted Wrangler. I’d go off road every other weekend or so on Sundays and I would drive the Jeep straight to the alignment shop which was 2 blocks from my house, park it there overnight, walk home and take them the keys on Monday morning. It was never…

I test drove a Wrangler Tomb Raider edition that had been lifted with Rough Country. It was like driving a pogo stick, maybe some are better done than others but this one was just wrong.

I did a 2" spacer lift on my ‘00 Cherokee and put 31s on it, then I had to dremel out a bunch of the plastic on the inside of the wheel well so it wouldn’t rub. Looked good but if there were 4 people in it it would rub. My next was an 04 Wrangler. Did better this time, 3.5" short arm lift from Rock Krawler with 3 of…

While I won’t go as far as you but people who don’t check or use signals when changing lanes fires me up. I nearly got lane changed in to on my bike yesterday morning by an older lady who neither checked or used her signal. I was traveling at the speed limit and luckily I was paying enough attention to leave myself an…

So I went to a demo day for Harley on Saturday. Rode 4 bikes and like 3 of them to my surprise. There were only about 6 or 7 people there riding and none were your typical Harley pirate, they were all sitting at the picnic tables drinking coffee. I rode a Stage 4 Street Glide which I really liked and was pretty…

I’m the same way, have your toy but be respectful about how and where you use it. I leave on my bike at 7am and basically just idle it out of the neighborhood. Felt bad this morning though, it was stumbling a bit right off start and I gave it a bit too much gas and cursed myself for being a jerk.

Happens here in Denver too with motorcycles usually twice a year. They block the whole north bound lane on the interstate and race and pull stunts until the cops finally manage the break it up. Last year they impounded and crushed bikes and made quite a few arrests. Last week the same happened but apparently fewer…

Before I bought my Street Triple I rode the RnineT, Street Cup(fun and a good value), Street Twin and Thruxton R in addition to the Scout, Octane and Harley Roadster. I wanted a bit more oomph than the Cup and Twin and I couldn’t reall see the value in the RnineT given it’s price. I need to just take the next couple…

That’s what I thought about the Bobber, great style on a nice bike but no bueno with the suspension changes. I’m a big guy so I need all the travel I can get.

So I’m 6'4" with very long arms which I think was the issue, it just set me too far back with my arms extended. And I guess you’re right, more about enjoying the scenery and a longer ride instead of wearing it out and letting the engine rip. That is sort of what I assumed but wasn’t sure. I also did ride the Scout…

That’s why I like the look of the Road King Special, just enough luggage to make it easy for a weekend trip without the radio, gps, full fairing....

I think that is a quest for value more than anything else. I like researching and reading reviews and making what I feel is an informed decision. Being comfortable cross shopping online before ever seeing the dealer and not be brand loyal are features of my generation. I can watch so many videos and read so many…

So I test rode a Chief Darkhorse and I don’t really get it. Great bike to look at but I found the seating position uncomfortable for me. I either had to lean too far back to comfortably extend my arms or I had to lean forward in the seat awkwardly to feel in control. Am I missing something with the ergonomics or maybe…

My STi interior isn’t that bad, not to the level of my wife’s jag, but not cheap feeling. Buttons are nice and crisp, knobs aren’t worn and nothing has fallen off. Only wear issue in my cabin is the plastic “chrome” ring on the shifter has some wear because I drag race like Fast and Furious.

And as a frequent motorcycle commuter I look forward to the day when a truck loaded with sensors will be looking for me. Instead of me having to hammer down and hope I don’t get run over when the driver decides it’s time to change lanes. That happened during the 2015/2016 winter here in CO, semi changed lanes over the…
