Jay asked:


I have an old ‘71 Honda sl175, and I am EXTREMELY attached to the bike. I would like to turn it into a cruiser style motorcycle but I don’t even know where to start. I know I would have to take off the knobbies but how else would I make it look like a cruiser?

Kathryn asked:


I am interested in getting a bike to drive to and from work, around town and the like. I currently have a mustang and the gas costs are crazy. I have never driven a bike before, and I don’t need anything flashy. But I don’t know anything about buying a motorcycle. I know quite a bit about cars but this seems significantly different. Also, how would I get my license? I live in Ohio.

I just bought a beginner motorcycle and am planning on taking the safety course. I have been practicing a little by driving around my neighborhood (not in traffic) and I was just wondering how long it takes before most of you got comfortable enough with your skills (shifting, breaking etc…) that it becomes secondary? I have driven scooters before but never had to pay attention to all of the other elements that go along with a motorcycle. I Know it varies per person. But I just wanted some input. Thanks.

I have 3 different motorcycle helmets, no matter which one I wear my head sweats and itches really bad. My friends don’t have this problem. Can anyone tell me how to stop this from happening? Not wearing one is great, but is law in some states… So I have to wear a helmet even if I don’t want to.

MrOneTwo asked:


I’m learning to ride a motorcycle with the hopes of purchasing my own. Although i’m at a disadvantage as i’ve never driven a standard car, so changing gears etc… is a new concept to me. I understand some of the basics, although i’m still stalling the bike from a stop quite frequently. Any links, guides, tips etc that new bikers found helpful? Thanks in advance.
