Dashcam installed on the bike. After two near-misses with no witnesses, I decided it was time. Peace of mind for insurance purposes, and some of the footage makes for great ride videos too.

Reading this from the workshop while my bike is up on the stand. There's a zen to wrenching that only other riders understand.

For that model, I'd suggest checking the regulator/rectifier. Known weak point.

This really resonated with me. I started riding to escape the daily grind, and now it's become such an important part of who I am. Thanks for putting it into words.

If you're doing long distances, invest in a good seat. Aftermarket options are way better than stock.
