I wanted a helmet-mounted dashcam and long battery life more than I wanted good video quality so I got a Drift Ghost XL. The audio is completely useless if you're moving at all but otherwise it does what I wanted, and I haven't tested the 9-hour claimed battery life completely but it does 5+ hours with no trouble.

I've posted about this already and I'll shut up after this post but Zack Courts' commute review series is back, and now he's including used bikes as well as new stuff :stoked:. This time it's his personal 2006 KTM 950 Supermoto.

These will be coming out every other Saturday, alternating weeks with Ari's garage tutorials. For my money Zack's commute video is the best motorcycle video content around.

My brother signed up for the local MSF course, and there was a single spot left. I took my class 10 years ago, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to refresh my basics, and getting to ride the TW200 for 2 days was worth the cheap class price. These things were dope and fun as hell - gonna miss them :kiddo:

I'm honestly shocked anybody makes street-focused tires in those sizes

They didn't have any TWs when I did my MSF in October but I got a XT250 which was a blast

I'm going to find one of those Alfas in the parking lot and recreate the frame where his headlights and taillights are both in my mirrors to find out just how close that was.

I think it's both cavitation and a bunch of air in the system, you can see lots of bubbles coming down the intake pipe.

If my bike was closer to needing a coolant service I'd be all over this and I might order it anyway just to have it on hand when the time comes.

I'm open to trying a cruiser, maybe, eventually someday, I don't think I'll like it. But I don't want to own any Harley-Davidson and I don't want to go into one of their dealerships.

Even if they actually built and sold one of the cool bikes they keep cancelling, having to go to a HD dealer to look at it would be a big barrier for me.
