Loud pipes save marriages. She always knows when I'm coming home. 😂

What exhaust is that?

You know what, I needed to read this today. Bad week at work, and this reminded me that the weekend ride makes it all worth it.

Interesting take. I'd argue the other way though.

This deserves more attention.

Counter-argument: it worked for me for 10 years with zero issues.

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

Instructions unclear, bought another motorcycle.

Same!

What tires are you running?

Same!

Mood.

What camera do you use for ride footage?

Wow.

I've been on the fence about getting my license for months. Posts like this make me want to just do it. Life's too short to not ride.

My first bike was a 125cc too. No shame in that!
