    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    Having the appropriate license in good standing to operate the type of vehicle you are selling is usually a mandatory requirement for the position. He may have been on the automotive side of the sales team, and was genuinely just trying to help. Or score the commission on a $30k bike [emoji23]

    Moto transport advice

    TFX for long distance, no question. I've used them a few times to ship a bike. The level of service and care for your precious cargo they provide is second to none in my opinion, and worth the cost.

    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    I had a client/new rider ask me that once. I found it to be an odd question because I was helping her pick out her first bike (I sell motorcycles for a living). Her partner put his hands up and looked at her with a "wtf is wrong with you?" face. I replied with "yeah, a little bit". It took her a...

    Celebrity Encounters

    I met Norman Reedus last summer. I'm a fan and I was a bit starstruck at first but he was down to earth and friendly. We chatted about his work and bikes for a while, really cool dude.

    M1 Insurance 2024

    Interesting; so it's not the insurance company saying no, it's the broker. I didn't realize that was a thing.

    Ethics of selling a motorcycle.

    Yamaha puts this disclaimer on their site when it comes to their higher performing bikes: NOTE: The YZF-xxx offers a significant level of power and performance. It is not intended for novice or inexperienced riders. I'm guessing there was a lawsuit at some point and their lawyers make them say...

    Ethics of selling a motorcycle.

    I've seen private ads for supersports actually say they will not sell to new riders, young riders, etc. I saw one ad say "this is not a bike for inexperienced riders, you've been warned but your money your life". Perhaps put that in the ad if you want to weed them out, but they probably won't...

    Ducati Diavel. 2012. Finished.

    Aches and pains mean you're still alive, that's what matters. Losing a bike you love is heartbreaking, I've been there, and I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon.

    Cfmoto models

    I saw their Adventure 650 model up close, the quality of materials and fit and finish were very good, I was impressed with it. Lots of features for the price. Some of their other bikes look really nice, too. I have a feeling there might be a Hyundai style success story in the making with this...

    Thoughts on under armour?

    I was concerned about that as well, but they are narrow and fairly low profile at the bottom, only a few inches into my smx boots and I can't feel any interference. Having said that I have long and skinny legs, YMMV.
