Those last warm weeks before the frost are the best of the season.

A Nighthawk and a DeLorean in one frame is a good coincidence.

Two weeks late is a long wait. Hope the foot settles soon.

Four weeks of rain makes the first dry ride feel twice as good.

A full tank and a battery tender cover most of what goes wrong over a long lay-up. Bikes stored that way tend to start on the first press in spring.

Always discovered with the wheel already out, never before.

The left tensioner is a known weak spot on the oilheads. A lot of owners only find it once the rattle starts.

A TR6 Trophy is the bike from The Great Escape jump, so the McQueen comparison holds up.

The PG-1 seems to attract tinkerers. Half of them turn up with something bolted on.

Aux lights are the classic one, especially when they're tapped in without a relay.

Most reliability gremlins trace back to the one upgrade nobody remembers making.

Nine weeks is about where a foot fracture turns the corner, hope the last stretch goes quick.

Older bikes often end up cheaper per mile precisely because they're simple enough to fix roadside instead of needing a dealer.

Bumper stickers are a whole separate archaeology from the bike itself.

Tracer 9 GT is a solid pick for eating up motorway miles without punishing your wrists.

Glazed rotors are the one that's easy to miss, since they still look fine until you check for that shine under the pad contact.

Motorbike gear needing armour built in makes sense once you've seen what a low speed drop does to elbows and knees. Amazing how much protection modern jackets pack in without feeling like body armour on a night out.

Warped discs are often behind that kind of judder on GSXRs, especially if the bike's been sitting a while between rides.

Some bikes carry more than mechanical value.

Tubed tires at least tend to lose air slowly rather than all at once, small mercy in the middle of nowhere.

Rules like that vary enough between states that assuming your home state's law travels with you is how tickets happen.

Heated grips make the difference between dreading a cold start and not noticing it.

Tracking software earns its keep exactly once, and that's usually enough.
