Motorcycles

I am riding this 2025 Eliminator 500 since the beginning of December and can’t wait for the hot season to hit some mountain pass!

YetAnotherProject, shoved the engine in today, but I think no more while the family are home, gotta do dad things and the 5 year olds can’t weld yet.

Bought it second-hand back in springtime, but it had a lot of issues. Finally got my temp license last month, needed some more work, but now I’m cruisin’ baby

It’s a Hercules K105X from 1972 and needs a LOT of work, but I really couldn’t say no to the offer. This will probably be my main project for 2026.

Edit the title for spelling :p

A week ago, I sold my 2015 SR400 for an offer I couldn’t refuse and put the money toward this brand new NX500. The weather has been very cooperative in my area and I’ve been able to get it through 300 miles commuting to work, and doing my best to do a proper break-in otherwise.

Apparently a photo by Pedro Martinelli according to anon on 4chan.

But it's as good a ride as any to go out for a ride. Especially since most of my state was inside watching the AFL Grand final while the weather was peaking.

Hello there

Can’t resist to share this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSF7N7fQkCs

cb400 thats been a hassle lately, one stud pulled out of the case, causing a leak, another leak in the similar spot happily turned out to be sealing surface and not another stud, then it ate both coils one after another. but now its good for a holiday to spain, owner will take a mechanic with him (i.e. my dad)

Any love for underbone motorcycles? I love my little 50CC Super Cub!

On a small, rural road, about 45 minutes from home. Had to be quick with the photo... hadn't seen another vehicle in quite some time, but Murhpy's law sent a car just a minute after I stopped😃. The bike is a Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel 2022

Between that dumpster and light pole means I'm not in the path of a car, nor am I taking a place they would want. Also not blocking a walking path or door, so I should be left alone. The pic is dark but the area is also reasonably lit.

A whole month of the summer missed waiting to get my 2006 Vespa GTS (called Beetle due to the custom matt black paint job) serviced. Rear brake was intermittently dragging and I couldn't figure out the cause.

I'm a green rider, just got my license. Despite lots of advice to the contrary, went with a cruiser as my first bike. Haven't regretted a single moment, though the first slow turn off the seller's driveway on this was...intimidating.

. For a damp evening we had some bangers, 500hp katana, not sure what the gsxr made, but both serious racers. Obvs there is no racing in Ireland right now, so take the race bike to the pub?

Same guy who owns the matchless g50 I took some pics of last month, brought this over to the shed to improve the brakes.

Swapped to white walls for this round. They kind of feel like chuck taylor shoes.

Mine is a Bell Vortex

My girl wanted a more comfortable seat than the Yamaha Vstar we currently have. It's heavy but all in all a great bike. First one I've ever had with a stereo and I'm loving it.

new swingarm, trapped the engine breather, popped out the kickstart seal, lost an alarming amount of oil, unfortunately the engine survived, so i still can't buy a zs190 :(

Spent the afternoon riding some trails and back roads to find some decent loops for my newbie friends, before I throw them into some real technical stuff 😈

Over just under 3 weeks (June 21st to July 11th) I travelled from Chattanooga, TN to Metropolis IL, Branson MO, Dodge City KS, Colorado Springs CO, Winter Park CO, back to Colorado Springs (my buddy had a short out-patient surgery to reattach his bicep), on to Roswell NM, Blanchard OK, Camden AR, and finally back to Chattanooga. I spent several days at my friends houses in Colorado, and 2 nights in Metropolis, Branson, Dodge City, and Blanchard so I had a day to play tourist and spend some time with my family in Branson and Blanchard. I probably averaged about 350 miles per day on my riding days, but did pull close to 500 twice. While my bike is definitely not a touring machine (more like a cafe racer), by standing on the pegs and making frequent stops, along with an unrecommended daily dosage of Ibuprofen, I made it and had a blast doing so; even if my butt complained.

Summer skies, tall clouds, country lanes. Today is perfect; take the time now and tomorrow you can deal with tomorrow. For instance, maybe tomorrow I'll finally get around to painting that silly crate black to match the rest of the bike...

Guess what I did wrong?

Saw some great riding, some cool bikes and cars, and will definitely come back again.

An electric motorcycle bearing a Honda badge is bound to attract serious attention – and lately, the rumor mill has been buzzing. Has Honda finally launched its first fully functional electric motorcycle? You might’ve seen headlines suggesting as much, but there’s more to the story than meets the…

Got caught in some rain so I stopped under and overpass to wait it out.

Eacaped the house to go look at bikes and talk crap about bikes, found this matchless g50 IOM racer, 1 of 3 apprently but I forgot to ask what made it that rare.

It is with great satisfaction that I report the banner image at the top of this page is now out of date.

I was missing the track, but without a "proper" bike what were we to do?

Surprisingly, a ladybug hitched a ride across two days and big winds, all the way there and back. Me and my new buddy rode 550odd kilometers :)

Friday-Sunday rode 700+ miles. Explored dirt roads, ripping tar, and camping in the redwoods. Ended getting soaked in a microburst after crossing the 90 degree Central Valley. Couldn’t imagine a better weekend.

Here's mine, in order of ownership. I'd love to read about others' experiences.
