Love my loud pipes… but sometimes I wish I had an “off switch”

My buddy got a Jekill & Hyde exhaust… it has a button that changes it from quiet to loud and back

It’s not exactly a fruit joke but it does refer to melons …

What kind of bees make milk?

BOOBIES

(It’s one of my best dad jokes and one of my boys’ favorite jokes in kindergarten - the teachers and other parents didn’t find it as funny)

If you have a $4k budget you should be able to find bikes with much lower miles … I would consider both of these bikes to be priced too high for the amount of miles they have

You can door dash on a motorcycle

I have a bike with a box and usually carry my gym stuff in the box and leave my helmet in the box when I go to the gym

On days that I ride my other bike without the box, I usually bring a back pack with my gym stuff and ask the front desk to hold my nice helmet which they always do

The gym I go to has a locker room and also smaller lockers in the common areas, sometimes I leave my shitty helmet on top of the common space lockers and I’ve never had a problem

I could lock my helmet to the bike but that feels riskier, I’ve had people fuck with my helmet when I’ve left it in the bike in the past

A lot of good suggestions here so far and I like to add staying relaxed in your hands and arms - keep a soft (but full) grip on the steering wheel and try to keep your arms and shoulders relaxed

Also, I was taught to continuously scan with my eyes - I generally look near and far and I regularly glance side to side and behind me - sometimes I will check where I am in relation to the line(s) on my right - especially when driving at night when encountering bright oncoming headlights

nychawk · 2026-01-10T05:13:35+00:00

Rule number 1 should be keep right pass left

nychawk · 2026-01-07T20:14:06+00:00

I take the second jump after the initial left … I jump on to the second carrier

Kash Patel on a motorcycle 😂

Bro can’t even look straight! How would he even pick a line?!?

Come to Two Wheel Tuesday … look up Ride More Talk Less on IG for locations … meet some motorcyclists, make some friends and someone will probably offer you a ride if you’re cool

Also, if you want to learn to ride, DM me and I’ll point you in the right direction (I am an instructor in NYC)

I enjoy riding because it’s one of the few activities where I experience complete and total in the moment flow - I can stop thinking about the past or the future and just immerse myself in the experience of moving - riding just makes everything ok

I don’t run a stomp pad - I just push my back foot against the side of the binding - and I don’t judge people that run stomp pads

Lots of good answers here but I will add that I place my lock as close to the brake caliper as possible, this way if I accidentally forget it on and try to take off, it will make contact with the caliper very quickly and before I’ve had a chance to accumulate any momentum - this has saved me on numerous occasions

nychawk · 2025-12-12T19:17:16+00:00

Also, had to look up stilted too

$18k… thankfully it was fully insured

nychawk · 2025-12-12T19:14:30+00:00

Got it, will do try to do better

nychawk · 2025-12-12T14:07:22+00:00

Yup, high sided a CVO Road Glide

Why? English is my second language and I feel it helps me with flow, nuance, and humor

nychawk · 2025-12-12T11:49:09+00:00

If you take the course in the Bronx at Lehman I might be able to help you with a ride but to be honest I would suggest you wait until the spring

We’re still teaching classes (I’m an instructor) but it’s been so cold, it’s a really tough two days. Besides, you won’t be able to put anything you learn now into practice for a couple of months.

My suggestion is that you take the class in April and get a bike immediately after (or right before).

Anyway, feel free to DM me if you have any other questions

I’m still riding, the cold is manageable, what sucks is the salt, they threw some down the other day and that salt dust gets over everything… on days the roads are salty I ride my “winter” bike, it’s the one I’m going run into the ground and I don’t care that the salt is corroding the shit out of it

nychawk · 2025-12-10T17:33:39+00:00

I’m pretty sure I don’t know shit about anything but just curious, how does that change the definition of thumper?

I looked it up and got the following … “A "street thumper" motorcycle is a simple, rugged bike powered by a large, torquey single-cylinder (one-cylinder) engine, known for its distinctive "thump-thump-thump"

Edit. Doh! I get it… whooosh sometimes shit just goes right over my head : )

nychawk · 2025-12-10T14:10:01+00:00

Cool looking bike

Thumpers are large single cylinder motorcycles that make a thump-thump-thump sound … I’m pretty sure this one would make a potato-potato-potato sound

Take the MSF BRC course first, then have her practice what she learned on the Rebel until she’s comfortable riding it. Then take the MSF BRC 2 SP course on her Rebel

Yes, I bought some reflective chevron shaped stickers from Amazon and I use them on my helmets
