    Strangely shaped cube. (I bet no one has ever made that joke before…)

    I’m not actively searching for a new helmet, but have a few things in mind for when that time comes: Safety will remain a high priority, so MIPS again at minimum. Possibly some other stuff, depending on how the tech advances between now and then. Comfort is probably the next priority, and that...

    Unverified Ownership Ecksy the Yamaha XSR700

    Funny story (that I’ve shared on Telegram) time! Right after the stealership bought the bike from me and put the ad up, someone actually replied to my local subreddit post asking if I still had it. I linked to the dealership page…and the person bought it! He messaged me privately asking about...

    That video is precisely why I need to solve this somehow. 😂

    Can’t really do that, I share a large garage with a buttload of other people: I don’t look at the remote—I just reach and press the button. 😂

    Ownership Verified: Catch and release! Tenere 700... Btdt Vespa, CB600, GSX 1400, R1150GSA and Transalp 650

    I'm highly in favor of this platform, as it's given me some rather fond memories!

    I definitely had them nerves going at first, but in the end here’s a reasonable test beyond what I expect to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H1sbJ4uefM I’m a little afraid of that, but still prefer this to any sort of permanent solution. We won’t be keeping this car forever, or possibly...

    Oh, it was 100% dirt and mud, since I didn't really clean anything off, so a wet, muddy bike went right up there while it was still drizzling outside. The SeaSucker vacuum mounts don't seem like they'd leave any scratches, provided one wipes clean both the mounts and the surface they're being...

    Hello! It’s been a bit over a month, and not all of you are in the Telegram group (or pay attention to me [or anyone] there), so let’s catch up. 😁 As is customary, words before pictures. Old bike — First and foremost, not sure if I ever mentioned it here, but I sold the Cannondale to a coworker...

    As I understand it, this is common, as shipping tubeless setups has its own challenges. I believe my Trek was the same story, but the shop actually changed the setup to tubeless before selling it to me. I could be wrong, though—I’m new here after all. 😁

    That looks gorgeous! That said, the chain looks pretty slack to me… 👀 That looks super cool, but this caught my attention: Seems like a better deal to just buy an electric hypercar at that point. 😂

    Wow, me again? It’s almost as if most of you have winter, or lives, or something. It’s actually been quite miserable here for the most part, so I’ve done more “wrenching” and shopping than riding, but I did manage some of the latter as well! Before we get to the pictures, which are obviously...

    I have many updates, but they’re mostly insignificant, so have fun with this. 😂 ——— I thought I’d mount my Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT (I have the monochrome v1), but the cabling makes that area a little crowded: Not to be deterred by having to wait for parts for a different mount, I moved it to the...
