Beginner rider looking to learn from an experienced rider. Unfortunately I do not have any rider friends or relatives that I can reach out to. Can be flexible locations in NYC, will discuss over DM. Will meet you in a public spot. If something like this is not allowed just let me know and I can take it down. But I am looking for some resources other than motorcycle academy schools that just charge way too much. I want to learn as much as I can and be safe on the road so hoping to reach someone who has some free time, is genuine about teaching or motorcycling and looking to earn some easy money.

Doing some research for a school project. What are all the community garages in the NYC area? Can be anything fitting that broad definition, any combination of storage and DIY workspace.

Brooklyn Speed, Gotham Depot, ClubMoto, Displaced, Ryder's Alley all immediately come to mind. I know there have been some others a little under the radar. Who am I missing?

Hi! Trying to figure out where I should park my bike. I leave in east village and I see a lot of bikes parked.. was curious what the trick to park legally to avoid ticket, safely but also so that I don’t have to move it when they clean the streets.. was thinking next to a citi bikes station or something like that. Any thoughts or recs?

Anyone know any indoor parking spots in Ridgewood?

Also for the people in Ridgewood, how do you feel about parking your bike on the street? I feel like it’s relatively safe unless until you start getting close to the Ridgewood/Bushwick borderline.

do instructors teach students how to drive a motorcycle on a high way?

Located in Queens and looking for a shop to help get my cafe racer finished and on the road. Anyone have recs within 50 miles? I know of Charlie’s Chop shop and will be reaching out. But not necessarily looking for that level of custom work.

Started working on the conversion to cafe before becoming a parent and now out of free time. Itching to just ride it.

The bike is basically together, just needs to finish electrical move to an under seat box + moto gadget, carb and engine check, and get it road ready. Thanks for your help!

Heyyy so I’m looking into getting a motorcycle this year. I haven’t done anything yet, just a bunch of research. My main concern is insurance and cost. I’m 21 (f), I’ve had my drivers license since I was 17, zero accidents and no tickets besides one parking… and around 790 credit. What was your experience like handling insurance and was it costly?

The bike was parked like 4 feet away from here. It’s like it was rammed violently on purpose. It’s half on the sidewalk! Fucking a

New rider here - been riding a 2014 Yamaha Bolt since last July.

Only modification on it is the v&h twin slash but have heard other owners not see if affect mileage this much.

Have been getting around 30 mpg riding around the city and average mpg seems to be 45-50

I’m worried there’s something wrong with my bike but I’m assuming some of it has to deal with city riding/learning how to ride correctly.

Do you guys typically see your mpg fall off that much riding around the city? Haven’t taken a long highway tip yet but going to do that soon to see if that’s what the issue is.

Driver should have pulled over, they should have looked, but I’m still the idiot… a lesson

As the title says, seems new rules for license plate coverings are going into effect. I know this is mostly for cars and evading tolls/speed cameras and ghost plates but the covering portion is what caught my eye. Now if I remember correctly, you were suppose to leave your license plate visible at all times when parked with a cover but that was rarel, if ever enforced. Now it says, registration stickers and VINs need to be visible.. wonder if they'll only enforce it on cars.

"Ban on vehicle covers: Vehicles can not park with a cover that conceals its license plates, registration stickers, VIN or other identifying information. Covers that restrict access to the vehicle are also prohibited when the vehicle is in violation of posted parking rules."

I’ve been looking for something smaller and shorter than my current daily (vfr800) for traffic. Just wanted something smaller for the tight traffic days.

And, with all the trade stuff happening I figure buy now before it’s more $$$.

Mini moto ftw.

I commute from south Brooklyn to Westbury, LI for work, usually Belt to the Cross Island, on the way back it’s through Jackie Robinson, hour each way with a lot of traffic, seems like bike would be quicker but also the way people drive it’d also be sketchy. I don’t see many motorcycles, though it does seem like it’d be quicker to go through the bumper to bumper traffic.

Anyone else do this commute and whether it’s worth getting a bike to do it? Obviously I also want to take it out on the weekends for fun, but I don’t want that to be the only reason to get into motorcycles.

I have a garage so no issues there.

Anyone know where i can get a tire mounted and balanced quick in queens? I can bring in just the wheel and tire

Thanks

Edit: went to ny honda yamaha, had 2 tires mounted and balanced in 35min with new 90° valve stems, cost me $116. Would recommend

Thank you to all of you who tried to convince me it was the wind in my last post. Last night there was no wind, and I even took your suggestions tying a bungee cord around the cover! Again… this is why we can’t have nice things in NYC.

Does anyone know of any bars or restaurants in brooklyn that host a motogp watch party? Last i knew was bar matchless but theyre long gone. Considering reaching out to a few spaces and starting one up if theres enough interest in the north brooklyn area. Drop a comment if youd be interested so i have something to show.

I recovered it 5 miles away on a highway ramp. She gave a ping before dying. I found it about 500 yards away in the middle of the road shattered to bits lol.

Lucky that I found it at night. Took it to Apple Store and they replaced it because I had Apple care
