I’m really looking into complete Motogadget system for my CB450. Their stuff is a gamechanger as far as I am concerned. While the key fob is cool, their handlebar control switches are some of the most amazing things I have seen for off-the-shelf custom builds.

Great, that’s something that can’t be unseen.

That’s awesome. I have enjoyed the content on Common Tread. It has had better articles, reviews and posts than most of the print outlets. It’s been surprisingly good content from a retail outlet. It may actually be ahead of its time and a model for future niche journalism. Transactional partnerships are coming.

Thanks. I ride a 73 CB450 that’s a little more brat than cafe. Drag bars, so I should be good. Thanks for the info.

Ha. That’s the one I ordered.

How do you like the Bullitt? I just ordered one this week.

Always Helmet, gloves and boots. If it’s not 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity (yay Florida) I will wear my jacket. I mostly have a short urban commute and have a long-sleeve shirt/blazer/sportcoat on. I need to find a high-heat/high-humidity jacket

Me too . . . is this the thread where we show our e24s?

Same here. Have a friend competing and trying to find out info.

Look up Hollywood Electrics Zero Race team. Brandon Miller does a lot of coding that drastically changes the controllers.

The bike that:

I can’t wait to ride one of these. I am not looking for a new bike, but I want to see what the difference is between a modern bike and vintage, and if it’s something I can’t live without. I just started riding a year ago and have only ever ridden the Shadow from the MSC and my 73 CB450. I love the look of a UJM and…

So Blake Rong is getting a Jalopnik column?

That’s terrible. I was just there a few weeks ago and drove their 458. My driving instructor was a young kid, but super knowledgable. The cars had power cut offs in case the driver gets out of hand or doesn’t listen.

We have had ours for almost a year (wife’s DD) and I agree with half of what you wrote. I don’t mind the seating position or headrests - she loves both because she is only 5’1. I like the speedo and tach. Those windows though . . . how hard is it to auto up people?!

Very cool . . . it's not going to help me decide between an El Camino or a Fiat 124 once I sell my e24 . . . but it seems pretty damn useful. I love the Leaderboard.

I daily 2 old vehicles. My 89 635csi and my 73 CB450. I call them both "refreshes." New gaskets, seals, etc. on both when they were bought. The e24 has been pulling daily duty for two years now. Has never failed to start on me (not counting times I let it sit for too long and the battery goes down). The CB I just…

That last shot has some serious BMW 635CSI lines going on. I think I love this.

The price and what you get out the door are two different things. My wife picked up her Abarth Cab with the same sticker price, but out the door she paid 23 and change. It helped that she got the last '13 they had on the lot in August of '14.
