    A true legend has gone RIP Hulk Hogan

    People are saying heart attack, steroids... I heard something about a blunt force trauma, consistent with a chair to the back of the head, from the Undertaker.

    Thoughts about the website in general

    I like the idea of more sections for other bikes, not just classifieds. A GS doesn't fit my foreseeable lifestyle so I ride something else, but when I have a question about bikes, the folks on this forum are the ones I want to talk to. I would spend more time here if people were open to more...

    Suspension and throttle questions

    Aloha, I hope you all are well! I miss the forum and the mainland rides. I was looking at a 2025 Triumph Street Triple. The one I like has Separate Function Forks. Everything I find online about SFF sounds positive, but it's only offered on the cheaper model which seems like a sign. As a...

    No exaggeration: the only people in the world I let touch my bikes are people I've met on this forum.

    what did you wrench on today??

    Oops, not a GS. I went in for inspection and was told I needed 'brake pads and some new hardware.' (2014 Triumph Street Triple). I got it home and found my calipers were completely seized together! The wheel has to come off to do the brakes, so 'brake pads' turned into new (used) calipers, new...

    Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 - Thoughts?

    I love ASV levers. My Street Triple has T-brand adjustable levers but ASVs just feel better. I highly recommend Dealer tool. They are always very responsive, maybe shoot them an email to see when they’ll have your bike’s software ready? My bike is a 2014. Whenever I stop in a dealership, your...

    Spoiler Alert: MotoGP (or any other race) thread for immediate disscussion of races.

    Is this the only running GP thread? I’m really enjoying this season. I was not a Marquez fan before this year, but for the sake of unwasted talent I was hoping the Ducati would work out for him. Now I find myself cheering like I’ve never cheered for anything before. I think Martin is fast but...

    what did you wrench on today??

    I put a new shock on my Street Triple and it was completely transformative. There's really nothing like having a properly fitting suspension - it makes the bike so much more fun, comfortable, and safe. My last 2 bikes had custom suspension so I knew this bike could be so much better (the rear...

    GS Sightings

    Thanks Dave, I forgot there was a thread for that. That bike was by Koko Kai Beach Park on O'ahu. The owner found it 'abandoned' on the island. The PO couldn't get it running, apparently it just needed the points cleaned or something. It looks pretty good, especially for an island bike. Although...

    It was like running into an old friend

    You may be right - he said the wiring and tank were setup for the fuel gauge, so maybe the PPO had swapped the cluster. It was cool to see. I think about an old Suzuki from time to time but I really have no capacity for one. Just swapping a shock on my Street Triple is apparently more than I’m...

    It was like running into an old friend

    The first GS I’ve seen in the 4.5 years I’ve lived in Hawaii! The owner is not a forum member. He bought it here and fixed it up a bit, maintaining original parts except upgrading to electronic ignition, a custom but matching seat, and a 1980’s gauge cluster to have a fuel level indicator...

    Anyone else excited about the start of MotoGP season?

    There’s a movie/documentary called Hitting the Apex. It’s really good at covering many aspects of MotoGP. Brad Pitt is the voice. It’s what got me into it and I never really cared much about racing before.

    Anyone else excited about the start of MotoGP season?

    What’s a team called if it’s not a factory team? I just read Aprilia got factory status this year, so what were they last year? We’re they not allowed to ride prototypes or something?

    I need help selecting new handlebars and generally with my riding posture

    Maybe you can try rolling the handlebars back (towards you) while sitting on the bike on the center stand, and see if you like it better or worse. I'm just thinking that the bars you have on it don't look low, and rotating them will bring them closer to you.

    Anyone else excited about the start of MotoGP season?

    I don’t really watch tv or any other racing, but I love MotoGP. I usually only catch highlights on YouTube though. I like the battle between the big bangers and the inline 4s My understanding is that people don’t like Marquez because he’s too risky.

    AGV vs Shoei, tinted pinlock?

    Im allowed to ride without a helmet, but I’m not allowed to buy an ECE Shoei. That one ticks me off.
