Extremely funny to see this comment on this review, which is a rant against spec sheets Read more

Oh this is wild Read more

Put your phone down! Pay attention to the movie! Read more

It’s actually a now-discontinued stock Sportster decal, fro the late 20teens or so. You could get it on the Iron 1200 fresh from the factory Read more

I’ve got the GS911 bookmarked already, but good to know it’s needed to flush the ABS! Guess I need to pick that up sooner than I expected Read more

I definitely want to learn the procedure for the head bearing, but I also just want the bike to be rideable — rather than taking it apart, pressing a bearing in, messing it up slightly, and having to order new parts and wait while they ship. It’s riding season! Read more

Once the tires and bearings are done, and I can ride the bike far enough to go get some cleaner and brushes, I definitely want to investigate it as thoroughly as possible. Plus, hopefully, fixing those two will let me learn more about how the bike rides -- right now, I couldn’t tell you if the suspension is terrible… Read more

These F800s are also just known to chew through head bearings, the forums are full of people who have to swap them out every 12,000 miles Read more

Ooh, good to know the OBD device! I’m going to have to look into those

The next-cheapest one within any reasonable distance would’ve cost more than this bike plus the work it needs, and it didn’t come with fancy hard cases that I can sell off to recoup some funds

What’s funny is that this is the second time I’ve done this. Last time, it was a Miata that I sold a month later. Read more

Oh, I wish the list was that short  Read more

Oh yeah, it was *bad.* Not much changed when I fixed the pressure, though, because there’s much more wrong with the front end of this bike  Read more

I checked it when I got back home, which was totally helpful and the right time to do that. The front was about 18 psi low, and the rear was about 10 too high. Yeah, I don’t get it either Read more

I genuinely can’t understand anyone who’s still a fan of his, but particularly the people he hates most. His own daughter wants nothing to do with him, he’s getting more and more transphobic every single day on Twitter, yet he still has fans. Boggles the mind Read more

The Versys still has that 19" front wheel, is my issue with it. Also, somehow, it’s heavier than an F800GS?  Read more

I really liked that comparison, because it showed off something i think is key with beginner bikes: Helping you figure out what part of motorcycling you want to pursue. A Ninja is a great beginner bike if you want to do Sportbike Things, but the baby GS will do everything. Try it all, see what you like, and buy a… Read more

I actually desperately want an airhead, but not as my only bike. If I had room for two, I’d like to have one modern fuel-injected adventure bike as a reliable ride and one project airhead to tinker and tune carbs on. Alas, I live in Brooklyn, so it’s looking like I’ll end up with only the former Read more

God, I wish. I’ve been salivating over that and the Tenere 700, but unfortunately would need to win Powerball to get either Read more

This is also why they got rid of Erin Esurance Read more
