I spent the day cleaning 2 of my bikes. The first is my 1993 honda ntv650 that I got a few weeks ago which the previous owner added a fairing to and lots of panniers and boxes and stuff for doing long distance touring. When I got the bike it was mostly green and mouldy as it had been sitting for...

Finally got to pick up my Roadster from Carpenter Racing today. While there, I dropped off the Classic for a pipe and tune.

I'll be up here a few days. Guess who's house im staying at. Here's a hint.:whitstling:
Where I live most of the bikes on the road seem to be from The Motor Company. Now and then I'll see a few metric cruisers, and a couple of sport bikes. I've only seen 2 Triumphs around here, and no other European bikes. Last week my nephew bought a BMW S 1000 RR. This morning we met up for...
Hi Folks,
I am new to this forum and take the opportunity to introduce myself. I am an Australian based in Melbourne, have been riding bikes for 50 years now and have graduated to the type of beast that suits my personality. My BMW's are real nice handling machines and I was tossing up for the...
Hey there everyone, Just thought I'd ask a simple but important question about cold weather bike storage!
So I have two bikes, the Triumph Rocket of course and the BMW R1200gs.
I am currently storing them in a airplane hanger with absolutely no insulation just protection from wind/rain and...
Is this normal? The video doesn't capture the bone rattling metal on metal clanking. It doesn't go away at any speed. In fact, even at 80mph on the highway, I can here it over the wind noise. The bike is a 2016, and still has break-in oil in, with 700 miles.
I am reprograming my bike with TuneECU to see what I can get. I noticed the 20050 tune won't let the RPM go over 6800. Is there a by-pass or work around for that ? Wanting to try 7000.
Funny thing happened to us today;
As most of you know the clutch on my harley broke, its been fixed, also as some of you know, my daughter is learning to ride so she can ride with us to RAA SD.
To test the clutch and for my daughter to get some more saddle time we went for a ride, checked gas on...
They hired a new guy at work. Mr Harley Davidson himself. He has all the tattoos neat looking sunglasses and of course the Harley Davidson t-shirt. He even had genuine Harley Davidson boots on. Of course the supervisor who we get along with real well hooked him up with me to show him around and...
Considering the Rocket gets a lot of mods, like the Carpenter stage 1 and 2 kits, blowers, etc., how does the driveline hold up on this bike? Coming from an M109R, which had a weak driveline, the question popped into my head. There were guys that actually snapped the drive shaft on 109s from...
So we were bsing about motorcycles at work and a buddy made this statement.
All these new ****** rockets are just cheaper versions of gp bikes. Yet the way they make em cheaper is to take off all the stuff that makes them handle better yet they are almost identical in power and speed. Which he...
Man, I always thought adventure bikes were lame. If you want a street bike, just get a street bike. If you want a dirt bike just get one, they're way better at it. But, I started watching youtube videos about guys going on rides to alaska and other cool and rugged destinations, and it seems like...
You may be aware already ?. but for those---(like me) who didn't know..:unsure:
Basically, if you use a smartphone, the picture will have GPS location data embedded, the time you took the photo and the type of smartphone used!!! :eek:
Right click the bike's photo, copy the URL onto the...
Thought I'd put a post up showing both of my bikes. I've wanted to do this for weeks, but time or lack of it has meant it's taken a while....
