(**85s sales conference music plays**) Welcome, readers, riders, and whatever you are in between. This is another article where I tell you stuff about I DON’T use on my bike, but you SHOULD. (My mind: Tell ‘em you use it. It will set more authority. Wink, Wink.) Why? You are a super-sport bike addict. Like…
Loud pipes save lives! Loud pipes save lives! Look, I get it. You don’t have to say it a third time. Loud pipes… Seriously? To be honest, I love sexy, loud motorcycle noises just as much as the next guy. But I also love not going deaf sooner than I have to. There is a point where…
Motorcycles have a rectifier, that is a regulator. A what? What’s there to be regulated? I mean, it’s a motorcycle! You pour in the gas, twist the throttle and move from A to B. HOW complicated can it be?! You’d be surprised! There’s more to it than rolling a lean-mean-two-wheeled machine. Yes, all motorcycles have…

And getting an answer: “Your mileage may vary!” Yes, I know, everything comes to MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE. I’m so sick…
Look, I get it. We all love revving up our motorcycles on almost every stoplight and impress everyone around. But all those shenanigans come at a price. (HINT: the price is NOT a date from the girl next car!) In a nutshell, this article will teach you what the price is and how a rev…
