Ok, basic driving etiquette. Four way intersection. Three directions have stop signs, fourth does not.

IF YOU DONT HAVE THE 🛑, KEEP GOING!!!!

You aren’t being polite. You are just confusing people and making it more dangerous.

DR 650 SE lost some performance, and seemed a bit uncomfortable idling. Upon inspection I found a missing shim in an exhaust connection foomfing every stroke, and when I went to replace it came across a crack in the pipe where the mount was fused to it (I didn't wipe out, you wiped out)

I welded it shut, replaced the shim and OH MY I can't keep the front wheel on the ground now.

I think I hate my motorcycle.

Don't get me wrong - I love it too. It's scary fast for an old guy like me, it's fun to ride,

But it's an adventure bike, and everything on it is made out of cheap fragile plastic. Hit a branch? That's two pieces at $200 each. Lay it down in the mud? That's four pieces. I figure I'm putting about $1/km of _repairs_ into it, beyond maintenance.

Knuckle guards can't withstand small branches. Honestly, probably can't withstand a halfhearted smack from your four-year-old niece.

Trim? Plastic with plastic threads that strip autonomously. Worst of all, as mentioned above, any tiny bit of damage destroys 2-4 parts. At a cost of $200/per.

I mean, I get lightweight (REALLY!) on a motorcycle, but they could have added 5-10kg and made this three times as tough.

Oh, except for the tension bolt - the second hardest thing on the bike, and can't be accessed with a wrench. You're gonna need a 27mm socket.

The hardest part of the bike is, of course, the saddle.

Finally, track season has begun! My body has forgotten how to ride ((

#motorcycle #trackday


What is it with, mostly GS, riders who are evidently not touring, that always ride their #motorcycle with panniers and a topbox installed?

I noticed something in my tyre when I was getting back on my bike after the gym. Decided to ride home with it in the tyre and then get it out at home.

It looks like a specifically designed type puncturing throwing star 😀 Too rigid to bend, but the tyre is still inflated and it hasn't left a mark.

My word, she's back! Finally. Fresh tyres, chain, sprockets, plugs, oil, fluids and the valves have been set to spec. Goes sooo buttery smooth again. #motorcycle #MotoMorini #Xcape650

Morning folks,

outside a random convenience store on the outskirts of Hipstergrad this morning. They don't have any decent croissants, and the coffee looks like arse. #motorcycle


Yet another fediverse #introduction

Hello! I'm from #Chicago and do nerdy stuff. I primarily identify as #genderfluid, #nonbinary, and #trans. Most people use they/them pronouns for me, but I'm also cool with she or he contextually.

My work right now is primarily #DevOps stuff relating to #Kubernetes and various cloudy things. I've been doing this long enough to remember when our servers were named after Greek gods and you used a label maker to show that off.

I practice #polyamory and try to avoid hierarchy or prescribed models in my relationships in general. I'm unapologetically #bisexual with some admittedly #sapphic bias.

In the summer you might find me on my #motorcycle enjoying the precious few months we can actually enjoy it. I love cross-country road trips and #camping.

I also run the Chicago Pink Pistols chapter. We're a charity that helps #lgbtq and #transgender people specifically learn about #firearms safety. You may see me post about #guns on a fairly regular basis.


Tip from todays motorcycling trip in 40°C heat:
If you wear motorcycling Jeans (or other pants that will absorb water I guess) and you make them wet, this will cool you for roughly 15 minutes

So this was my pre-trip kit planning where I attempted to get roughly everything I would probably need into my lomo bag and then, to strap it on the bike in preparation. #motorcycle


damn… today’s youtube rabbit hole tells me that the US has no regulations on #motorcycle gear/armour, and maybe only Europe does have any??? there’s stuff out there that crash tests worse than cotton, that has fake kevlar, or garments that just have placeholder “armour” instead of anything actually protective? yikes 😶


It is evident that drivers sometimes do not see motorcycles. Keep your wits about you, my fellow riders ❤️❤️❤️ #motorcycle


Some nearly bowled me over at the death roundabout (it has a history) They stopped further up the road to say sorry but I waved them on and kept going #motorcycle



I have a radical idea for people. Maybe before ringing the fucking parts store for stuff for your #motorcycle have a clue what make and model it is.

I need more to work with than "it's a Kymco scooter".

Honestly I'd love it if punters read the fucking god given manual that comes with the bike, but honestly that seems a bit much to ask.

The legendary FZ750. It started being produced around 1977 and the last one made was in 1991.

This one is somewhat beaten, in need of extra love, even so, she is gorgeous.

If you are on a motorcycle everybody expects you to wheelie as you ride by them. I don't make the rules.

New desk at the office and it's a major upgrade. Every time I get up from my chair, I see my #motorcycle parked outside.

Does this look like a fork seal leaking to you? The person I bought it from said it's likely just red grease used to fit the dust seals but looks like oil to me.

But he builds motorbikes and I don't!

I own an out-of-production foreign #motorcycle. I defy anyone to explain how a tariff on foreign-sourced NOS parts for it helps me, my country, or any business.

It wasn’t a big enough market for the importer to set up local sourcing even when it was in production. No American company is going to set up an injection molding operation just to make a dozen #Ural tail light lenses a year. #stupid #ProtectionismIsDumb (1/2)

Edited for typo as usual


It's the kind of weather where if you go out for a ride in the sun, you know you will get rained upon for sure by some random, heavy showers. #motorcycle

Today’s project: put fancy new LED headlights in the RT. There’s a way to do it without disassembling everything, but apparently it really sucks to do. This wasn’t too bad, actually. #motorcycle

The first stop of the day was a cafe in Hoveton, I suspect I was the first person ever to order a cortardo. #motorcycle

While doing some work on my new motorcycle i found this…
An active gps tracker with a sim card on a magnet under the cargo bed.

Smashed it to bits of-course, but what the fuck!?
