Looking at getting a black and green helmet (size small) w/ Cat Ears

[@motorcycles](https://sh.itjust.works/c/motorcycles) Looking at getting a black and green helmet (size small) w/ Cat Ears My current helmet is ok... but not the best in the long run as it's kind of slightly to big as it shifts up and down on my head. Thoughts on the helmet I'm looking at getting.

I had my first ride on a motorbike the other day, It was scary but exciting at the same time. Really want to get my CBT & my own bike in the future

Pasco, Washington

This was this past winter. Somehow it felt nice to ride even down to 20* or so. Tri-Cities drivers are more dangerous than the road conditions. lol

Repair or replace?

This is being cross-posted for as much feedback as I can get. My '12 Honda CBR600RR is nearing the end of it's life at 82,000 miles; there's minor visible scoring in the nikasil plating in the cylinders, and that's only going to get worse. I can get the cylinders replated--assuming that the scoring is no worse than I think it is--for about $800 + the cost of shipping the block, but that *would* require being able to entirely rebuild the engine on my own. I'd probably want to also regrind the valve seats, replace the valves, piston heads, and def. piston rings if I did that. I've already got the cylinder head off because the valves weren't holding pressure. I can get a replacement engine for around $1500-2500. I can replace an engine on my own, although it's a pain in the ass. Or, I can get a new bike. But I'm not sure what makes and models for my riding style will have any better longevity than my CBR600RR has had. My current short-list is a crashed '07- '12 CBR600RR (because I can easily swap necessary parts/bodywork, etc.), or a Yamaha YZF R6, Suzuki GSX R750, or Triumph Speed Triple 1050 (which is prone to electrical issues, and also needs some creative headlight adjustment to work with clip-on bars). Does anyone have experience with the YZF R6, GSX R750, or Speed Triple? Any issues to watch out for that might prevent any of them from making it to 100k miles without major mechanical work?

GSXR600 or GSXR750?

Looking to upgrade from a Ninja 650R - had both of these bikes as my top picks and trying to get some opinions on both bikes as far as value, comfort, quirks, etc.

Remember to clean your air filter.

Absolutely love exploring sandy roads with the Africa Twin

Such a great machine to do some offroad exploring with proper tires. Sadly there aren't many roads/tracks like this around in my area, but enjoying the ones that are legal to ride. Still indecisive if I should change the stock muffler to an aftermarket one. Stock is fine, but would prefer to hear a bit more grumble from the bike.

GPS Resources for dirt and off-road riding

What resources does everyone use to find trails and tracks to ride? Here in Australia I've been browsing the [Trans-Australia Trails ](https://transaustraliatrail.com.au/)community, where people can upload, rate and comment GPS trails, including photos and other details. I'm aware that BDR have [GPS tracks posted for free](https://ridebdr.com/gps-tracks/) as well. Does anyone have any other resources they use?

Stuck in the sand.

This hole was left by a previous climber, but I slid into it on the way past.

So, what do you ride?

![](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/6508fe34-5321-4d4e-86b5-8a4f6a30597d.jpeg) Currently riding a 2019 MT-07 - Ice Fluo. However, I'm shopping around for a Africa Twin 2016 due to wanting to do a bit more off-road riding
