Been a while. I've been on quite a journey this last couple of months, wildly expanding my metal palette. My list of favorite bands has completely changed and expanded quite a bit. It's been an amazing exploration with tons of great recommendations.
I’m still alive on this app somewhat. I just had one of the best nights of my life.
OH MY GOD! OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! WAGONS ARE BACK!!! THE SUBARU LEVORG IS IN TXR!!!
Today feels like it’ll be a good day
Big news for my Bomb Rush Cyberfunk followers. After 198 attempts and 10 hours of recording sessions, Floor is Lava 5 is out now and available on YouTube!

#BombRushCyberfunk #BRC
This was long overdue. I returned to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk last night and recorded a score battle to let everyone know I'm back! #BombRushCyberfunk #BRC www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK_O...
My Spotify Wrapped, the top spot comes as a surprise to nobody.
Didn’t expect a RIDE video to start gaining traction, but here we are. Thanks, algorithm!
God I remember this. It’s such a raw animation and perfectly depicts the pursuit of more speed. In the end, you’re your own greatest adversary.
Yes absolutely
That’s a shame. It’s on brand for Nissan to disappoint me, but I’m still immensely disappointed that they’ve sullied the Fairlady lineage like this.
I liked it until I found out it’s just a 370Z with a blanket thrown over it. So now we have the 370Z STILL technically being made almost 20 years later. Unreal.
Really? That’s interesting because most of my miles have been on highways. It cruises happily at 6k RPM going 140 kmh. If memory serves, the FZX750 is on a different set of sprockets that might lend to faster acceleration, less top speed.
Like a Dragon Gaiden is a closing chapter on a story I’ve been following for 20 years. I need to see how it ends for one of my favorite characters in fiction.
Anyway, I’ve been spending most of the time helping homeless people and playing golf, darts, slot cars, and classic Sega arcade games.
Norton F1
Familiar with a Wankel Rotary engine? Think airplanes or the Mazda RX-7. This bike has one. This is powered by a 588cc two rotor Wankel engine. That means VERY responsive power and a distinct howl of a sound.
That’s it. It’s a rotary engine motorcycle. Do I need to say more?
Yamaha RD500LC
Speaking of V4s…two stroke engines were very high in power, but also only liked high RPMs. Yamaha’s solution was to make a V4 two stroke. V4 engine meant a more linear and usable powerband. Nutty doesn’t even begin to describe what these bikes are. Also yes, it has 4 exhausts.
Honda RVF400R
I could mention the CBR250RR MC22 for its insane 19k RPM redline, but I can’t help but adore this little V4 sport bike. Under 400 pounds wet and 60 horsepower? It’s a little V4! Just look at it, it’s so charming and would be a riot on a twisty road. I want to ride one in my life.
Suzuki GSX1100S Katana
This bike was a wild design, even for the 1980s. From the overlapping speedometer and tachometer on the compact instrument panel to sharp, yet smooth body lines, this bike just screams “look at me!” This is still one of the coolest bikes ever made and I’d love to have one.
Yamaha YZF-R7 OW02
No relation to the new R7. For those unaware, the R7 was originally a bike made for race homologation. This was a motorcycle made to win races from the factory. Ohlins suspension, super bike derived chassis, 20 valve engine, and only 500 of them exist. This is a holy grail.
For every like this post gets, I’ll add to this thread with a motorcycle I admire/want and tell you why I think it’s cool.
I should’ve added “at least” to that statement. I was trying to lowball it but not too much. But yeah…
Road tested: Scorpion EXO Optima jacket.
Replacing my Texport jacket I used in the winter was a daunting task and while the Scorpion might not be as toasty, it’s certainly more versatile. Even still, I only felt a cool breeze at 80 MPH in 36 Fahrenheit. It felt nice! Welcome to the arsenal!
Not only that, but REs are already phenomenal on economy. You can get 70 MPG out of a small RE, which makes the idea of the Flea kind of redundant.
Fair enough. It’s just a shame, because I get the sentiment and it would be incredibly useful in my area. I just can’t make sense of it unless it were an errand bike, but I would need time to run errands first.
I’m getting worn out on EV bikes. None of them seem to solve the range issue, in fact Kawasaki might have the worst range I’ve seen yet. For inner city, I totally get it, but I could never make sense of it in my rural area. Royal Enfield has been on a roll this past couple of years, we’ll see.
My oldest jacket in my arsenal is getting retired. This is from when I bought it 7 years ago and here’s the replacement. I’ve had great luck with Scorpion EXO products, this new jacket will have big shoes to fill.
It was something I was thinking about, too. Those cars aren’t even from my shop, they’re overflow from a sister store. We used to have an open back lot. Used to…
And the warehouse. Bike stays, everything else can go. 😁
I knew this would be a good sunset! I ran back to employee parking and got the shot. Beautiful. #Yamaha #motorcycles
Ohhhh myyy.
