Stare Time.

This is a concept that is very important to motorcyclists by taking away stress and is simply a lot of fun! Go into your garage or wherever your motorcycle is and put some music on. Grab your favorite drink and find a nice place to sit where you can just look at your motorcycle and enjoy your baby. You can also grab a rag and polish it some or grab a wrench and tinker with it. This sounds kinda simple but the enjoyment and relaxation you will get from doing this is priceless.

I was talking to a friend of mine in Wisconsin about this, and when you live where he is this concept is so important. His nick name is “Desmo” and he has Ducatis, Triumphs and a Moto Guzzi, so he has a lot to stare at. Because of the intense weather those poor motorcyclists can only ride part of the year, unlike us Southern California riders that can ride 365!

So arrange some stare time with your bike. Sure works for me!

2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350 First Ride Review

Go Back to the Future on the 2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350.

It may not be too much of a claim to say that the 2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is the most futuristic motorcycle on the market. No, it doesn’t have radar-equipped adaptive cruise control, a six-axis IMU, or semi-active suspension. Nor does it produce 200 hp or flatter the rider with telepathic handling. Quite the opposite, in fact.

With its SOHC air/oil-cooled 349cc single, the Classic 350 produces a claimed 20.2 hp at 6,100 rpm and 19.9 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. Weighing in at a substantial 430 pounds with a mostly full tank of fuel, it struggles to outrun a Toyota Prius and requires a decent tailwind and a long stretch of road to make the speedometer needle sweep three-quarters of the way around its 0–100 mph readout range.

But motorcycles like the Classic 350 are crucial to the future of motorcycling.
