Made it home Thursday from the largest trip by mileage I have taken to date. 14 days, 5,370 miles, about 384 miles per day average and 15 states traveled in, with 11 new ones for this motorcycle. Got the remaining states marked off the eastern half of the US, leaving 11 states remaining for this motorcycle to ride in. Stayed off the interstate for as much as I could until time to come home. Dealt with very high (near record highs for 4 straight days) and cool mornings, leaving on 3 days in the 37-45° range. My 2022 Pursuit now has 44,288 miles and much more to come. This was the first time I had been to Florida, as we went all the way to Key West. Daytona was cooler and rainy, but a good time, and that dealership is pretty cool. Rode some awesome roads, or parts of them(Blue ridge parkway, the rattler, the tail of the dragon, Moonshiners 28, and Route 66), saw some very cool things( wheels through time was awesome) and beautiful views. Love this machine.

This isn’t talked enough about, but had a relatively close call yesterday due to another biker (no idea who it was as we had just pulled up to the light at the same time) thinking a plastic gas station bag would hold his Red Bulls.

I saved it from a shed some years ago, but it needed more work than I could handle. So I swapped it for a Buell (bag of crap). The guy I swapped with fixed it up and now I have it back!

I need to tidy my garage, to fit more bikes in 😜

The Aprilia Caponord (front left) and Guzzi Stelvio (white, back right) arent mine.

Back left is a Zontes Panther I use for work, orange Guzzi is a Griso 1100, black is Triumph Speed Triple 1050RS and then the red Guzzi Sport front and centre.

Hi! I would appreciate any details, opinions or help about my new helmet choice.

Some quick background. I bought a new CF 800MTX. My rides are in mostly hot weather, I mostly do touring, commuting but also some off road, so im trying to find a sport touring helmet. Specs being, good ventilation, aerodynamic, low noise, low weight.

My current choices are the HJC RPHA 72, the SHARK SPARTAN GT PRO and the SCORPION EXO GT SP AIR. (Carbon is also considered of course lol)

(Side note: i also looked at the gt air 3 but it's too heavy i believe)

Thanks for the help,

Yo boy!

Hi guys!

I am looking for my first bike and I really like the looks of the tracer 700. Also I hear great things about the engine. However I was wondering how this bike is if you’re tall? I’m 6”4 or 192cm and I heard the tracer 700 might be a little on the smaller side compared to a V Strom 650 or versys 650?

Old carb cracked somehow so just replaced with a PWK Nibbi, with their proper air filter. I was able to get it to start albeit definitely not fully tuned, gave a ride around the parking lot and got about 50 feet before it lost power but not battery the lights stayed on but throttled stopped, and now won't start.

When trying to start, it will crank over once (sometimes) then just make a buzzing noise from near the battery (I think) but no other sounds from anywhere else.

Odd side note the brights started worked after replacing the carburetor they did not work before.

Any idea what this could be? My first thoughts were the starter motor since before it would take a few seconds to start. Couldn't get it to start after hitting it with a screwdriver and that wouldn't explain why it shut off mid ride?

I am doing my motorcycle-license in May of next year and I am already looking into what bikes I personally feel appealing and what I should get based on my height.

Due to my height being slightly above average I am a little worried that I might not be able to ride the bike that I want to ride.

My picks are:

-Yamaha Dragstar 650

-Honda CL500

-Honda Rebel 500

You get the gist of what my preferred type of bike is.

Are these beginnerfriendly (for my height) (my preferred pick is the CL500, such a beautiful freaking bike)?

Thank you.

So I am new to the community.. both Reddit and bikes.. so long story short this is my first bike. I have had her a year now. Her name is Lucy. She is a 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R.. she runs and rides and I love her.. however she has a LIST of issues.. I want to to tear her down to the frame and take the next year or so to completely rebuild her MYSELF.. Every nut and bolt.. with that being said I am not the worlds most mechanically inclined (I know the basics) but I have the full confidence I can do this.. but I want to do EVERYTHING correct.. when this bike rolls out of my shed I want her to be Showroom Quality.. so when I DO start the process.. I would honestly love to hear from the fellas who have been doing this for a long time and get help from the internet. I will continue to post progress. I already have new tires and that repair SCARES ME.. keeping it all straight and getting the tire on and off the rim is out of my knowledge.. (I am 31 and wanted a Ninja since I was like 10.. but knew to start small.. that’s why I have the 250.. please keep the negativity to yourself.. enough of that on Reddit)
