@Zigg I need one that's compatible with Bluetooth so I can listen to music and chat when we're riding as a group. Nothing major. Just anything that lets me say "watch out for the pothole on the left." Right now I'm considering this helmet and pairing it with this Bluetooth system. I ride...

One of the best trips I've had was when I visited a buddy in South Dakota and we drove across part of Needles Highway. I can see why many bikers take that route to get to Sturgis. The mountain views are incredible and the turns and tunnels add to the fun and adrenaline rush. @Santiago Red...

I don't blame ya @Zigg the Triumph Bonneville Bobber is a sleek bike. If I'm going futuristic like @Knox, I'm looking forward for a motorcycle to come out with loads of tech/AI built-in. But right now, nothing appeals to me like the FTR 1200. It has some cool tech features. I've been...

I plan to sell my old Harley for parts as the poor thing can barely go and it's getting too expensive to have it repaired. Best just to buy a new bike at this point, and I've been lusting after the FTR 1200 S model since I first saw it online. My Jeep will keep it company. @K9F Nice! I can...

What are your must-haves in terms of motorcycle safety gear? I'm not much for touring, so I just stick to the basics. I consider riding gloves and eye protection of some sort to be an essential part of my gear. I don't usually ride without them. Right now I'm looking around at helmets since...

Yep, I already saw that thread and jumped in. I see quite a few races since the big track is fairly close. Thanks for the welcome my man. I best get to looking for a good avatar now that I've settled in.

I can't say that I've ever named my bike or car, but I appreciate that some folks do. Y'all have some funny stories. @Santiago Red I think Indie would be a good name for the bike.

I think the DT3 is the official AFT tire. I'm guessing the "R" means they can be driven on the road since the DT3 can't. Or am I thinking about something else entirely? I've googled and all I'm getting are gorgeous images of Porsches.

I can change my tires, oil, and filters, but anything beyond that is probably above my skill level. It's the same with cars, more often than not I'm heading to a shop.

The Dixie Speedway is less than an hour from me, so I catch the races often enough. The Indian FTR750 sees a ton of action in races around here. That's really what got me looking at the brand, just noticing how well they perform on the track. Right now I'm rooting for Bronson Bauman who's...

Hey, I'm Merrick. Fixin' up my old Harley is starting to cost more than it's worth. I got it second-hand from my uncle, so it's seen a lot of miles. It's been a good bike in terms of durability, but I think Harleys are more my old man's generation than mine. I'm definitely feeling a pull...
