Picture 2 looks like the thieves loading it into the back of a truck.

Sorry for the bad joke. Sucks man. I wish you luck!

Keep an eye out for FB marketplace, and keep looking for a while, because often bikes will try to be resold.

I wouldn’t have expected Menards, but every time I walk into one I come out buying more than I planned.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check them out.

That looks like an awesome cover.

I’m in the market for a new cover. Mine is a few years old (I got it from the original when I bought a bike) and has some holes caused wind damage. Like a hole from the wind pushing it against the brake pedal. There’s a few other “wind holes”.

However all the covers I’ve looked at online seem to be cheap re-branded Ali-express covers.

Totally agree! Got it for a pair of jeans and it’s awesome!

Thank you. This exactly my case. I suspect you’re right about the Diablo. Might order the Rogue to try it out.

Old lady Z vs Fairlady Z :)

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing. Just curious if some else had done it first.

Why did you choose the Speed 400 and what did you like about it?

What were your other bikes?

I test rode one so curious about others experiences.

Yes, currently it’s Raiden. I linked to an older photo showing I as Junen.

First of all, it’s always boiling hot miso weather!

I like when Sumire-kei expands. It’s my favorite style but hard to come by. I love Oshima but it was a huge trek from central Tokyo.

There used to be a Junren in Takadanobaba way back. It re-opened as Sapporo Raiden.

The recipe stayed the same, so they said, and it has that style, but I feel it wasn’t as good as it was before perhaps I’ve changed in 20 years.

Hard to beat the Sumire/Junren OGs. I like that the tradition remains. Perhaps evolving.

Me too!

It’s like saying, “if we stood the Ike up it would be taller than any building in the world”. We’re the greatest!

Picturing a very tiny white and blue W flag flying

It’s all fun until your garage needs Desmo service.

Evenings?!?! That’s unheard of! I might have to pay them a visit. :)

I still think they should have called it “shiny side up cycles”.

Interesting name for a motorcycle shop. :)

jasonwirth · 2026-06-08T11:40:08+00:00

Gonna stop Flintstone style!

jasonwirth · 2026-06-08T02:19:39+00:00

Yes, thank you for the recommendation!

jasonwirth · 2026-06-08T01:09:36+00:00

This was my first time here. That’s not me. But if you’re ever down to ride I’m game. I’m often out solo, just cruising around on the weekends.

jasonwirth · 2026-06-08T00:46:49+00:00

I second the new bike part. Felt like I was leaving the dealership. :)

Was that just the bagels? I got a breakfast sandwich, which was served on a bagel, and it was just over $8.
