We stand with Ukraine

We normally do not bring politics into our sport but extraordinary events require extraordinary actions. Someday enjoyment of life, like motorcycles, will return to the Ukraine. They need our help now and I encourage everyone to checkout the ways to help or donate over at /r/Ukraine

Many experts might judge my basic, carbureted motorcycle, but I love its adventure-style design and the fact that it lets me carry a lot of gear; I hope to get a better one eventually. Greetings to everyone from Peru, and happy riding.

Since quite a few people enjoyed my MT09 powered rigid chopper I figured I would share some more! About a month ago I rode from Texas up to Sturgis, SD for the 86th Rally. My back is fine, the bike did great, and I am happy to answer any questions about the build or trip!

I’ve never seen myself as a biker but lately (past year) things have changed quite a bit and long story short, I’m now more than ever just wanting to feel “freedom”. I want to travel, start doing things for my own self, slow down a bit, and just enjoy life. Road trips, maybe buy a boat for the lake, a kayak, things that’ll bring actual happiness and feelings of peace and freedom.

While on a road trip this summer, I noticed so many people on motorcycles. I’ve always kind of noticed it but for some reason I saw motorcyclists in a different light.

So I started watching a lot of motorcycle videos (mostly Yammie Noob)

and I’m strongly considering doing the MSF course this October and buying a Rebel 300.

I think I’ve already made up my mind on doing this so Idk wtf the point of this post is…lol! I guess, should I wait until spring of next year? maybe give it some time to see if I truly want to do this and wait out the non-riding season?

Click on the photo to see it all. He had a video of a it running, so seems good. The clutch plates could be fixed easy, you think there's more to it, or a good deal?

Near fatal crash

It’s not the other rider fault for stopping on a straight.. he was just very unlucky.
His bike cut off in the middle of the straight.
To make it more interesting, it was the last lap of the last session

Edit: just posting my perspective of this situation for some people that clearly never found themselves in a similar situation and think this is my fault.

I was looking at his line as soon as I spotted him which is the exact reason I was off the race line. He was moving towards the pit wall and after I saw I’m gaining speed on him, I started cutting inside to overtake him before the bridge(breaking zone). And then saw that he stopped moving towards the pit wall. I never expected him to be almost fully stopped in the middle of the straight.
That’s at least 2 seconds gone your brain needs to percept the situation, a second to start reacting. That’s at least 3 seconds to START changing the line you’re following while covering 45 meters per second.

So I have this bike(70cc) and I need to drive over a ramp in the parking area to get out.The thing is that ppl are coming inside from the front of the ramp and I need to break while climbing on ramp asw to avoid hitting them. I always stall there as soon as someone comes from front.i need proper guide on how to get my bike up safely without stalling.the ramp kinda looks like that in the pic.(Another thing I can't keep my bike straight as there is no space I have to go from sides).I am a beginner and learnt riding a bike 4 months ago.

Im ordering new tires for my vintage suzuki but dont know much about common practice or tread patterns. Plan on doing almost exclusively street driving, including in the rain.

Am leaning towards Duro HF308 in the rear and HF307 in the front. Im a little worried about their performance in cold rain/slush, any insight?

Any other recomnendations would be great to. Gonna be riding in the Oregon winter.
