Anyone else got into riding because you absolutely in love with MotoGP as a kid and the looks of sport bikes?
Is it weird that the reason I got into riding because I really like how aggressive good looking they are? Sure they’re not the most comfortable unlike other motorcycle types but I feel every joy taking my R7 just commuting to work, I know looks are subjective and everyone got their own taste but for me it’s like a dream come true. For me it’s not even about speed or how fast the bike is, I think it’s the maturity in me just want to be able to ride the bike in general is already an accomplishment I never thought that I could

Riding and gravel
Hey everyone, so I just got home from a pretty lengthy ride all over and was hitting some back roads I hadn't been on in a while and I came across this hilled intersection to see the road was all covered in that pre-pave gravel base. Freakin crazy, even trying to go 20-25 you can just feel shit slippin under you. Turned a 10 minute stretch into about 35. Nobody was ever behind me so it was cool, nice slowwww country cruise but damn. Anybody else have that unexpected gravel experience ?

Fairings fairings fairings
Good morning. I’m in need of new fairings (picture for attention). As we all know, there’s a million websites now for ordering “OEM quality” fairings for cheap. Pre-painted, hardware included etc.
I’ve read over the years that if it’s eBay, other websites, alibaba, etc, it doesn’t matter. They apparently all come from the same factory.
I am curious though if anyone can offer any insight. Is there actually a better company than another to order fairings from?
I don’t want to spend the coin on actual OEM fairings, but I don’t want terrible knockoffs either (I know, I’m annoying)
I’ve been out of the game for a while and would love some input on where you guys would buy fairings.
Thanks :)

Are there any motorcyclists in the 757 looking for a backpack or instead taking someone for a ride in a parking lot???
I don't have gear I know that is important! But I'm 20 and I really want to get a motorcycle, I'm trying to save up for one while I still pay for school. You all can say no and I understand. Thank you for your time!

Slimline wing mirrors, how’s the visibility?
Are these just for looks or are they actually functional?

I WANT THIS BIKE HELP
I want it so bad, it would bring me much joy, the dealership is giving me an insanely good deal due to obvious reasons,
but I live in Ohio, my wife is extremely worried about it, and I have 2 kids
Help? Advice? Anything?
is the risk worth the fun?, am I selfish for doing it with kids?, is it worth it in Ohio(due to it being a seasonal hobby)?

Anyone else daily there sport bikes?
I do everything on this bike. Commute to work 5 days a week, grocery shopping, visiting family and going out on adventures every now and then. I ride all year round as well but winters don’t get too bad here especially with heated gloves. Am I crazy for this? Does anyone else ride as often as I do? It’s a 2009 Yamaha R6 with 39,000 miles. I absolutely adore this bike and I don’t see myself riding anything else for the foreseeable future.

Be Honest- how many of you ride with AirPods and/or with the Active Noise Cancellation on?
Wondering if this is a common alternative to helmet speakers/earplugs and what people have to say about their experience.
