This off-season's upgrades: Passing lamps (no pesky bar), flush gas cap and fuel gage, and new seat. Wasn't sure about the seat until I rode for a couple hours. HUGE difference, especially with the beach bars! I didn't have to keep a death grip without the windshield at 70+ mph

If you had to choose only one...

2022 H-D Pan America Special 1250 with 17k miles OR

2024 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 with 2k miles???

I’m leaving the industry (as a career, not as a rider) after GM’ing 10 different dealerships in my career.

7 Harley-Davidson, 2 Triumph, 1 KTM, 1 BMW, and 1 Royal Enfield.

Gave my notice last week.

Biggest question I have: What’s it like to ride with friends on a Saturday?

I didn't expect so many young ladies who don't seem interested in motorcycles to follow me on Bluesky.

Maybe there's hope for the Millenial and Gen Z to start riding motorcycles again? 🤔 🙄 😆

On a scale of 0-10 how likely are you to recommend your health insurance program to a friend or family member?

Credit to (stolen from) my sister-in-law Sally. She's pretty smart and not on Bluesky yet. Don't tell her I said she's smart, I'll never hear the end of it.

We need to see HSA maximum contribution limits increase to the level of the HSA policy’s out of pocket maximums, imo. Am I missing something?

Riding engages both hands, both feet and demands a level of attention that forces us to clear our minds of other distractions. It starts for many of us when we ride bicycles for the first time. In a picture, it’s this:

Got to love 50°+ in the Midwest in December!

Grumpy post of the day: Gas stations that make you pay for air to fill your tires really grind my gears.

Where it all started. I asked mom where her helmet was. She said back then the hairstyle was as hard as a helmet. (She ALWAYS wears a helmet btw)

My motorcycle mentor. Mom turned 77 this year and when visiting during riding season, rides the Road King. When I added the Pan America, I warned her about the seat height and 150hp. She scoffed, "I can ride anything as long as I can get one foot down."

Well, it just hit 50° in my corner of Chicagoland. Time to take the Pan America to get chili ingredients.

Don't forget to flush out the pipes to your outdoor faucets and disconnect the hoses if you live in an area where 35 degrees constitutes hoodie and shorts weather.
