PSA for new riders: Your first bike doesn't define you. I started on a beat-up 125cc that leaked oil and had a bent handlebar. I loved that bike more than anything. Don't go into debt for your first motorcycle. Get something cheap, learn on it, drop it without crying, and upgrade when you actually know what you want.

Don't forget to lube your cables too, not just the chain.

Check your valve clearances if it's been a while. Makes a huge difference.

Printed this out and stuck it on my garage wall. No joke. Some things deserve to be read every day.

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

I'd recommend synthetic oil for that engine. Night and day difference.

Every time I think about selling, I read posts like this and remember why I ride. The motorcycle stays. The doubts can go.
