7 days, 2,217 miles, here we go
I did just over 1k miles over 4 days about a month ago on my 2022 BMW R1250RT, I didn’t want to stop. Now we’ll find out if I was right 😆
Looping from Napa California to Escondido to get fitted at Motoport for riding gear, by freeway it’s a two day trip, maybe three. I’ll take seven and go through a lot of desert, including Furnace Creek, hottest place in the world (depending on how you measure).
Bike is loaded and eager, route is planned, leaving 8am tomorrow Friday 23rd, longest motorcycle ride I’ve ever taken by a LOT. Wish me luck!

Is this worth 1700?
I plan on buying a yellow 2002 BMW R1150R with 50,000 miles. We agreed for 1700$ and the reason he’s selling it, is because he wants a shorter bike. He says ABS has been deleted but I don’t exactly know what that means and I’m worried if I ask him he’s gonna clam up. Just need general opinions. Thank you!

Where can I order a custom windshield?
Hi, I’m looking for a place that customizes windshields for motorcycles. A friend is redoing his and wants an image on the windshield. We tried ourselves to use UV DTF and failed miserably so any recommendations on some places? We’re in Columbus, OH if any of you know anything local.

My MT09 Powered Sporty Chopper in its Final (for now) form! Right before I took it on a 1,000+ road trip.
I have posted this bike here a few times but thought I should show it in its final form at least until I decide to paint it. I was able to actually test the bike out on a 1,000+ mile trip from Central Texas to Sturgis for the rally. Rattled a few bolts loose but overall the bike did great! This thing will definitely turn into a daily rider for me. Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for all of the positive comments on past posts and for letting me share this thing.

Looking to get a rear rack, top box, and saddlebags
Hello everyone! I’m looking for some advice from more experienced riders if you’re willing to help out a new rider.
I got my Honda NC750X about a week ago. I don’t currently have a rear rack or mounting plate, and several people recommended getting one. I was hoping to find a way to mount the bag securely without buying additional equipment, but I’ve decided that a proper rack and mounting plate are probably the best option.
I need some extra storage, and after some research, Givi seems like a good brand. I’m considering this setup, but I’d appreciate some advice before spending the money:
- 1192FZ SPECIFIC REAR RACK
- M10 MONOKEY PLATE
- V58NNB2 58LTR MONOKEY CASE MAXIA 5
- PLO1192MK PL ONE-FIT MONOKEY
- WL900B 25LTR MONOKEY THERMOFORMED SADDLEBAGS
Ideally, I’d like to have a rear rack, a top case, and two saddlebags, although I’m not sure if the saddlebags are necessary. I’m also considering starting with just the rear rack and top case and adding saddlebags later, if needed.
My main concern is adding too much bulk or drag to the bike. For those of you who have experience with this type of setup, are saddlebags worth it for the extra storage? Do they noticeably affect handling, or does the bike still feel relatively normal to ride? As a new rider, I don’t want to make the bike unnecessarily wide or harder to manage.
I’m also open to recommendations for other brands that offer similar quality at a lower price.
If you have experience with Givi luggage or have a setup you really like on your NC750X, I’d appreciate any advice, recommendations, or things I should consider before making a decision.
Thanks in advance for helping out a new rider!

Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE Keyless ignition replacement with keyed ignition?
I was looking to pickup my first motorcycle and was thinking of getting a used Kawasaki Ninja 500 SE. The only issue I have with it is that I would much rather prefer a traditional keyed ignition rather than the included KiPass keyless ignition that comes standard on the SE. I would prefer the SE for all of its additions over a base Ninja 500. Would it be possible to replace the SE keyless ignition for the traditional keyed ingition like on a base Ninja 500? If so, what parts would I need and how much do you guys think it would cost? Would it be more cost effective to replace the ignition on the SE or just get the base model and modify it with the SE additions? Thank you

First Project Bike Recommendations
Hi all, I'm looking for opinions on a good first project bike. I've been riding for a little over three years and handle all my own basic maintenance, but I'm not very comfortable with anything beyond that. I figure the best way to get better is to buy a project bike and get it running again.
My plan is to stick with a well-established brand and a popular model so parts are easy to find. Does that sound like a good strategy? Any specific bikes you'd recommend or steer clear of?
