I was visiting friends and I needed to find a motorcycle shop in the area. Found this shop called The Cycle Therapist and the first thing I thought of was the SNL skit with Jeopardy with Alex Trebek and Sean Connery.

I began calling the shop

"Cycle The Rapist"

If any Lemmy members are in eastern ontario and are motorcycle enthusiasts, we should get together for a ride. Always looking for new people to ride with and share some stories.

As easier way to load and unload your motorcycle

Had this happen twice today coming home from work. Had a KTM Adventure stop beside me. Just gave him a nod and waited for the light to turn. Are we supposed to try and chat? I wouldn't hear F-all anyway, so whats the point? So what do you do?

Before and after. Changing the air filter on the NC700x. Previous owner probably never did it because you have to dismantle the plastics to get it out.

I rode most of my life without a windshield, but when I bought my Indian it had a windshield on it that I swore I would tear off the second I got home.

But then I realized that after an hour plus ride my eyes had not watered once, my ears weren't having ghost ringing, and my arms were just not tired....

When I picked up this bobber I knew I would want a windshield. I have been riding it for a month or two without a shield now, and I have to wear earplugs so that the wind noise doesn't make my tiniitus go nuts. Today was the first real ride with the screen on. And holy cow. I love this bike even more now.

Details: It is a madstad 20inch touring screen made for a triumph speedmaster. I modified it to fit the bobber by drilling some new holes, but otherwise I used the hardware and fasteners that came in the kit.

I can post some pics of the fitment if there is interest.

But how could I resist? I took the bobber out for a little off-roading down a goat trail that runs by the swamp/lake near our place, and the scenery was so fitting that I hopped off and snapped some pics.

Hey all, I figured to get things rolling I'd start up a thread for everyone to show off their rides.

Pictured is my 2 month old '23 Aprilia Tuono 660 which just crossed 3000 kms this weekend (what can I say, I like riding a LOT.) Previously I was on a '22 KTM 390 Duke which is now my wife's bike.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's rides!

Post your pics, mechanical questions, road stories, and anything else motorcycle related. The usual rules apply - Don't be a jerk, don't start fights, and don't share porn. If the community wants more biker pin-up stuff we can make a sister-community for that.
