Joe’s Shoes

Not sure why it bothers me as much as it does lol but seeing Joe wear athletic tennis shoes with his suits drives me nuts lol.

He could definitely get by with some nice white sneakers but he’ll wear like bright red athletic trainers with his suits lol

New to Bikes

Just passed my MSF and have a 24 Kawasaki Eliminator. I’m enjoying how easy it is to ride but am wondering if the 450cc is a little small for me.

A buddy of mine has a 2013 Shadow and traded with me for the week. I really like the Shadow except it virtually has no friction zone, unless you roll on the throttle at least a little you not going to get any response. Downside is I end up rev bombing more often than I would like to prevent stalling

Wondering if his bike just needs some maintenance or is that’s the norm?

Also I am wondering if I am I ready to upgrade to a bigger or bike or do I need to give mine more of a chance?

Some of the other bikes I considered were also a Shadow or Yamaha bolt? Don’t know too much about Harley but like the look of Fatboys

Suggestions appreciated!

Mods

Just picked up a 24 Eliminator and looking for mods especially storage options! It came with a Givi but it looks too much like a DoorDash bike lol Post those saddlebags and any other must have mods!

Bike security

New to riding and just picked up my first bike and in true algorithms fashion my socials are flooded with motorcycle products specifically security products. I’m in Houston suburbs fairly safe areas but what are the chances of bike getting stolen? Any merit to security devices?

I was looking at both kryptonite disc locks as well as devices like monimoto GPS tracker?

Are these devices overkill or needed?

TIA!

Harley Davidson MSF Course

Planning to take my MSF course through Harley Davidson and some people on this thread had discount codes that take off $100. All the ones I came across were expired so just wanted to see if anyone had one that would work

Thanks in advance! Happy Riding!

MSF course

I just bought a Eliminator 450 and have my MSF course in a couple of weeks. I've ridden before but it's been years and I ride around my neighborhood to prepare for my course but I'm still nervous about failing.

Any tips?

Also I don't think I would wear motorcycle shoes often but is it worth getting for the class?

TIA

▲ 3 r/edrums

I recently got back into drumming as we are a part of a church plant and we needed a drummer. I picked up a Alesis Nitro Pro kit to be able to practice at home and I know I can’t expect it to sound like a traditional set but it sounds really weird and not enjoyable to hear. Sounded way better inside the Guitar Center lol

Any suggestions?

I’m slowly getting into biking so I picked up a Hybrid bike and I’m enjoying it so far my only complaint is the saddle. The saddle it came with was too narrow and hard. I got a big cushion one but it was only slightly more comfortable. Last I got a wide noseless one and it seems okay, but wanted to see if any recommendations out there or even if I’m understanding saddles properly lol
