Shop that works on Aprilia?

Hey all! I've been riding a 08 Shiver this season & it's been fun to ride. Yesterday while riding it told me to urgently service, but I can't see any codes saved in the dash. I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that has a Axone diagnostics tool so I could get the stored code read?

West Jordan / WVC rider

Returning to Reddit after a hiatus.

Thought I'd sub and say hi. These days I own Harleys, but I'm a non-denominational rider. Typically I do short trips around town and try to get out on Sundays for longer runs through the area. But I'm open to meeting up with any others in the area to find new roads.

Looking for some ridding buddies

Hi! I'm a current BYU student and have had my KTM duke 200 for about a year now. I'm looking for some freinds to ride with. I obviously can't keep up with the 600+ gang on my little duke but would love to go on some fun rides with people.

Memorial Ride

Hey all, I've never posted on Reddit before, so I hope this gets views. My uncle Kevin Inglet was a freshly starting motorcycle enthusiast who adored the outdoors and rides up big cottonwood canyon. He recently passed away unexpectedly, and I wanted to honor him by setting up a memorial motorcycle ride. He didn't know many bikers, but he always dreamed of being a part of something bigger that involved loving people and what he loved to do. Is there anyone willing to help me put something like this together? It would mean the world to his daughter and grandkids

Dyno tunes in Utah

Does anyone know of any shops that will do a dyno tune for a sport bike? Preferably in Utah county but any county would work.

Confused about permit process

My car broke down and I decided to get a bike for my commute to work for the time being. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the temporary operating permit. The DLD website only seems to set up an appointment for the skills test, rather than the permit written test. Am I missing something? Do I not need an appointment? Do I do it at the DMV instead of the DLD? The Utah website is a nightmare and I need to get this figured out soon as I don't have a car to get to work😅. The appointments for the skills test art booked out a week and a half, and I hope it isn't that bad for the written permit test.

Looking to borrow/rent to take my riders skills test!

I have been looking for the last week for a bike I can use to take my skills test. Don’t have the money for a bike at the moment but have already taken my written test and have my learners. Seeing if someone would let me take their bike for an hour or two to take the shills test.

Purchasing CRF300 or XR150 - SLC

Yes, I know these are different bikes but I’m a newbie and SHORT so if I’m not brave enough to lower the CRF (or magically find an LS) I’ll go with the XR. Anyway, any recommendations or definite “stay away from” dealerships in the SLC area? Bonus points for dealers who tread their employees and customers well. Thanks!

Looking for motorcyclers who are down to get filmed

Hey I'm a videographer, and i'm looking to practice some of my drone follow caming. If anyone wants to collab, has a cool bike, might even be willing to take it onto the salt flats, then hit me up. You'll get some sick free videos and photo from me on your bike :)

Not super particular about what bike it is, but I love more retro styled bikes.

Looking for group to ride with

Hi Folks! I recently moved to South Jordan, Utah with my girl after graduating from university and I'm looking for a community to go on rides with and grab some food. I've been riding for a year and a half on a Vitpilen 401 throughout the Santa Cruz mountains in California. Let me know if anyone is in the area and wants to meet up.

Anyone in the Heber area willing to lend a 650+ bike for a skills test?

I took the motorcycle safety foundation basic riders course in October 2022. I went into the DMV at Heber today to finally get my endorsement after putting it off for so long, but they said that I need to redo my skills test as the card the motorcycle safety foundation gave me had expired. If anyone nearby have a 650+ bike I could take the test on, I would be greatly appreciative.

How many times can I take permit test in the same day?

If I fail it once are they going to send me away and make me schedule another appointment?

New to Utah

Just moved to Utah in December, haven't nailed down a house yet, currently staying in Kamas, looking for houses in Ogden. I have been seeing all the riders out lately and got the itch really bad so I had the bike shipped, should be here later this week and I'm really looking forward to getting out and tackling some canyons

Cheapest Dealership OTD Prices?

Hello all, I've been calling around to a few dealerships in the Salt Lake City area trying to get an OTD price for a dirt bike and most won't give me one. Does anyone know what dealership has the cheapest OTD pricing? I'm willing to drive to Provo or Ogden as well.

Best spots for some squid moments in Ogden

So obviously oversimplifying in the title, but more of what I'm asking is I'm a new rider, and I just want to know for a year or so down the road, when I want to pump things up (to a reasonable and safe degree obviously) where are good spots to do so? And how fast is reasonable? I just dont want to be a nuisance and a danger to society around me but down the road I would still like to have a bit of fun on my commute when and where I can, or some spots that I can go to have a bit of fun on the bike. Just to reiterate though, I'm not trying to go 100+ down the highway sort of stuff, just a bit of extra speed/power for a bit before going back to normal speeds.

Solo Motorcycle Travel in Utah - Seeking Advice on Scenic Routes and Dirt Trails near Salt Lake City

Hey fellow riders!

I’m an avid motorcycle enthusiast from India, and I’ll be visiting Lehi, Salt Lake City, for a month (starting next week). While I’m there, I’d love to explore the beautiful state of Utah on two wheels. I’m planning to rent a Tenere or an R3. However, I wanted to reach out to the local riding community to get some insights, recommendations, and advice, especially concerning safety for a solo traveler.

1.	Solo Riding Safety: Safety is my top priority. Are there any particular safety concerns or precautions I should be aware of when riding solo in Utah? Any tips for staying safe on the roads, especially as a foreign rider?
2.	Scenic Routes: Utah is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes. What are some must-ride scenic routes near Salt Lake City? I’m looking for those winding mountain roads, expansive desert vistas, and anything else that captures the essence of Utah’s natural beauty.
3.	Dirt Trails: I’m also interested in exploring some dirt trails and off-road adventures. Are there any dirt trails or backcountry routes relatively close to Salt Lake City that you’d recommend for a day trip or a weekend excursion? 
4.	Local Riding Tips: Are there any local riding tips or insider knowledge that I should be aware of? Hidden gems, local hangouts, or places to refuel and relax during my rides?
5.	Riding Groups: If there are any local riding groups or events happening during my stay, I’d love to know about them. It’s always great to connect with fellow riders.

I appreciate any advice, suggestions, or anecdotes you can share. A chance for riding through Utah seems like a dream come true for me, and I want to make the most of my time there while staying safe and having an unforgettable experience.

Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to hitting the road and exploring the beauty of Utah on two wheels! 🏍️✌️

I just got a new (to me) bike and the tires are stock from 2006, they don't look terrible but I know tired that old may not be there safest to ride on.

I am in the Utah county area and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where I could get tire replacements from that does a good job!
