This is my son and I out for our official first ride together. I grew up riding with my father, he with his, horses before then. The torch has been passed to the next generation and I am the old man now.

Even more fun, he is riding his first motorcycle a CB500F, which just so happens to be my first bike in 1985.

Also, I'm riding my Zero hence why I am making vroom vroom noises.

hello!

beginner rider here. I’ve been riding for a few months now, did the MSF course and got licensed and everything. However, I still struggle a lot to make right turns at stop lights. I go really slow and I still feel unbalanced and unstable. Left turns are fine because it’s a wider turn, but right turns I really struggle. I also noticed I don’t really countersteer when I make my right turns, is that the problem? Not that I don’t try to but the turn is just so tight and my speed is usually slower (how fast should i be going for a right turn?)

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I know everyone says to ride your own ride but the way I struggle with right turns, I feel like i’m being an actual obstacle on the road, and I’m probably going to go down one of these days because of it. Thanks!

Check the photos. That’s a f’ing nail. 2nd one in 10 days. That tire has 150 miles on it MAYBE. I’ve never plugged a motorcycle tyre. I know it’s done. Is it advisable?

Ill be going in 1st gear and already sounds like it's stalling, switch to 2nd, and just goes bump bump bump, dies. Its the most embarrassing thing at a stop light, luckily my girlfriend was following me.

Hi Redditors. I picked up a 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000 K4 as a barnfind. The previous owner had this silver ribbon strapped to the handlebar. What is it for? Key fob for scale.

And, I Cannot get the bike to run, I've flushed out fuel tank, fitted a new battery, and all I get wheni connect the battery is the Datatool alarm sounding off and CHECK sign on the dash.

Any hints or tips welcome. Previous owner cannot be contacted.

I’ve been riding about two months and the bike I got (Cbr650R) is up for a new set of tyres, I’ve got a set of Diablo Rosso 4’s on right now, they’ve done me well but I’ve found they tend to spin fairly easy and lose traction. They’ve still got some meat on them. About half a cm til the wear indicators. I’m curious as to whether I should get another set of Rosso’s or go for something like the Bridgestone s23’s or s21’s

Any opinions would be appreciated

Ive seen countless claims on here that a liter sport bike would be 3 to 6k for 6 months of full coverage. I’m 29 years old. Got my first motorcycle 2 months ago.. don’t even have my license just a permit and got a 2008 cbr1000rr insured full coverage with 500 dollar deductibles for 78 a month. I mean that is damn good
I pay 28 a month for my ninja 650

Edit: The cbr is my second motorcycle

Finally got a Triumph Scrambler for my wife and she’s in love with it.

Is there a reason motorcycle shops or mechanics take forever to do any work to your bike? I’ve talked to some who don’t have open slots for anything for 3-6 months, but when you talk to them about getting work done they always say that it will be quick and done soon. My bike has been at a shop for 3 weeks for diagnostic work on the front handlebars and forks that they said would be done within 3 days and they haven’t even looked at it yet. It just doesn’t make sense why they take so long and than act like they prioritize getting the work done and you back on the road.

My dad had this JDM YSR 80 shipped from Japan when I was a kid. I still have a blast on it every time I take it out.

New to me Versys 650. Have to store the Beauty for what is going to be the longest winter of my life.

Can't wait to hit the country roads on this next summer!

What do yall use for a continuous looping dash cam for your rides? After getting hit 5mos ago and tearing my rotator cuff, I’m definitely investing in a cam.
