I'll try that in the next one. Still switching things up and trying to find a format that both keeps a youtube audience's (often fickle) attention, but at the same keeps things moving forward smoothly. It's tricky to find the sweet spot. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Brian! I tried with spoons a while back, but I was either too uncoordinated or too stupid (or both?) to make them work. I sent them back and ordered a Rabaconda. When I bought it, I math'd that if I started doing tire changes myself, rather than continue bringing my bike to Ted, I would...

Thanks! Re: Subscribe button - noted. Though I did notice better converting people to subscribers when I did start putting it in my videos. Unfortunately it's a bit of a "necessary evil" I guess. Re: Balancing without the sprocket - It seems like every forum I searched on has a different...

I think I may have finally gotten good enough at changing tires to make a video showing others how to do it... or maybe not, we'll see :rolleyes: So here's my how to change a Yamaha Tracer rear tire video, which includes: 1) How to remove wheel from motorcycle 2) How to remove old tire from...

The guy = Aleix Espargaro. He finished sixth overall in MotoGP last year, and appears to be going through his Eminem circa year 2000 era phase right now :LOL:

Believe it or not a couple Saturdays ago I ended up riding around with Ted Rose downtown before he came to hang out in my garage til almost midnight lol. I showed him my toys and how to use a rabaconda tire changer, not that he needs it, he just seemed curious to see what the kids are up to...

He forgot the decimal. It was supposed to be $80.00

Usually I read Relax's posts attentively and follow his advice. I learn some ****, I save some money, life is good. ... Today I'm not listening to a damn thing he says.

A Canadian Tire location will never turn away your used oil, old gas, old batteries, or used tires, after all employees have gone home for the night.

How is this possible?! You don't even look 40?! lol

I buy something to use it, but I have to be able to both afford to buy it, and afford what I may lose when I sell it. ****, my truck is old enough to have it's own license and it has 325,000 km. I could afford to buy a way newer one, but I can't afford all the depreciation I'd lose when I sell...

I think the market for people wanting a 1700cc motorcycle is tiny. I think the market for people wanting a motorcycle with 65,000 km is tiny. I think the market for people wanting a 1700cc motorcycle with 65,000 km is tiny. Offer him $3,500. Who the eff else is he gonna sell it to?! And more...

Disclaimer: I haven't ridden the Triumph But... If I were to have just one bike, I'll take a Yamaha over a Triumph any day. If I have multiple bikes and don't mind if stuff randomly breaks and don't care how long it takes for parts to arrive, Triumph over Yamaha. Further disclosure: Current...

I can't believe a week ago today I was coming back from 20 days riding in Italy. Since then.... I helped do a motorcycle purchase/delivery with @Relax , and @FullMotoJacket helped do the same for me! Both guys were great dudes and very easy to deal with. Both bikes were very reasonably...

I've been here for 17 years. Talking about things like how the biz might look 30-40 years from now is not unusual. There are quite a few of us on the forum who work(ed) in, or adjacent to, the motorcycle industry.

No man. You're asking about the present. Re-read what I wrote and the posts in the thread before that. I'm talking about a 30-40 year projection. You'll see where the trend goes, especially with more electrics coming in. Think further down the road.

I would love to test this theory on a focus group of mid 20 year old riders. I understand your perspective, but from the customers I interact with, I see a huge difference between the 40+ year old riders who, I agree, probably fit what you're saying, versus the 20 year old riders. And if we're...

No objections, at all? Not even if we think 30, 40 years down the road? None? At all??? Oh boy... Ok... I want to invite you to go to a car dealership, pick any japanese brand, and tell them you'd like to buy a standard transmission vehicle. Look at how many options you have. Count them. Look...

People will make fun of me for having a Vespa (that I love) in my bike collection... and then spend $20,000 on a scooter disguised as a motorcycle.
