    Ran out of Gas - Gauge issue?

    I have 139,000 miles on my Gen 1 - so it is very possible my gas gauge is having a problem. For the first time ever I ran out of gas - but the Gauge said I was at 1/8 of a tank and the light did not come on. My wife rescued me as I was on the freeway a few miles from home. Unfortunately she...

    2025 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    Testing Season has started in preparation for the 2025 racing calendar. What are you hoping to see? For me I want to see a return to a variety of Manufacturers and Riders winning races. Jorge on the Aprilla means we will see it on the podium more often. Yamaha seemed to make improvements all...

    Dirt Bike Experience saved me today.

    So on my commute home my GoPro filled up and stopped recording about 1 mile from where this incident happened which is a bummer cause it would have been crazy footage. As I am sure many of you do - I do my best to be a good citizen when riding and notify drivers if something is hanging off...

    New Lego Technic MT-10

    To me the MT-10 is the third Generation of the FZ1, street fighter with a de-tuned R1 motor. Lego announced they are making a Technic version of it and it looks amazing.

    Don't ride in the Shoulder!

    I recorded this back in April, but finally had time to edit it and upload it to the toobs. This rider is the perfect example of why riders can be their own worst enemies. Not sure why he decided to flop over to the shoulder, rip on the gas and cut back into traffic.... I see this sort of...

    Gen 1 FZ1 Rear Brake Adjustment / Bleed

    Over the last year I noticed my rear brake was becoming "soft". what I mean by that is I had to push the brake pedal all the way down for full engagement. I thought maybe I needed to flush the fluid out, so I did that. I am pretty sure I bled all the air our of the bleed nipples, but the end...

    2021 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    So, with all the craziness this last year we forgot to start a 2020 MotoGP Discussion thread. Maybe we can get one going for 2021 and recap any thoughts we had on 2020? First, Marc Marquez. His need to win at all costs finally bit him, and it bit him hard. His display of ability to race...
