Hey, does anyone here want to ride around with 200cc or less?
I'm not cool enough for that ruckus gang in south city, so if anyone wants to gather a few times this summer I'm down.
Did you know there's a 2 stroke, 4 cylinder Suzuki RG500 Gamma in town? When was the last time you saw a Honda GB500? They all come out for Vintage Bike Nights...
Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood is hosting their First Monday Vintage Bike nights again this summer. People show up around 5:00 and clear out around 8:00.
​
Come out and see the neat bikes St. Louisans keep hidden away most of the year.
Come by for chili, leave with an R1250GS!
​
Each spring we have a chili cookoff contest, and it's that time again. March 2nd, Bring a crock pot full of chili, and extension cord, and you could win a $75 gift certificate! Contest starts at 11:00, setup is at 10:30.
Come by from 11-2 for Gateway BMW Motorcycles First Annual Turkey Fry, sponsored by MegaMoto Minibikes.
I live in Florissant, and it seems like any good country highways are 40 to 60 minutes away. I really like st Albans road and 94 once it gets pretty far west, but any advice on stuff closer?
Planning a march ride in texas to see big bend national park and state park, but also family. Hoping it is nicer there than this cold crap we have gotten accustomed to in January. Also planning september ride down to Fl and back via smokys. What rides have you got planned?
I'm in need of transport there, if anyone is going and has an extra spot on their trailer.
It's trailering your bike required, you can't just ride there, can you?
My bike just died on me and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for reliable & affordable motorcycle towing in Stl?
Is there a good spot to park a bike down at the stadium? I would think we could get in nice and close but I can't recall seeing any bikes around.
Looking for local motorcyclists (not "bikers", although they're a good sort) that's interested in getting together for some local rides.
Some of the routes our very small group enjoy are: StL - Hermann, StL to Hannibal, Bluff Road through Chester and return via Ste Gen.
We are a small group riding cruisers, bobbers, Switchbacks.
99% of the time we ride on the weekends although there are times we get away during the week.
If anyone is interested we'd love having you join us.
I love to ride and am a frequent Redditor. It would be really cool if we could start using this sub more often. Go out for rides/get some food. Get the community spirit going ya'know?
I am looking for a rivet style Master Link for a D.I.D. 520 chain, black and gold finish, local to St. Louis and available tomorrow Saturday, January 17. Anyone?
Hey there. I'm going to be taking the safety course in a couple of weeks, and I wanted to know if you have any recommendations for where I should buy gear (helmet, gloves, jacket, etc.), or for what brands I should be looking at.
I'm just starting out, so I'm not looking for anything fancy or stylish. However, I do want to buy quality stuff that will last. I'm not opposed to a higher price tag if it's a good investment. Are there certain items that are worth spending a little extra on from the start? (instinct would tell me helmets are in that category..)
I am open to both local and online retailers, as well as buying secondhand. I've been perusing Craigslist for a while, but I'm not even sure what I should be looking for.
TL;DR: Simply put, I have no idea what I am getting myself into! Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.
Anyone down to ride this weekend?
I am am a relatively new rider (year and a half), late 30s professional - I don't have alot of time but enjoy every bit that I can to get out and hit the road. I ride a cbr1000 and am looking for other people of a similar age grouping/bike preferences to ride with this spring and summer. Anyone up for it? 12 o'clocks, extended swing arms, oversized rear tires, stunt cages and hayabusas are not really the deal for me.
Wondering if anyone would be able to help me troubleshoot my 2002 Suzuki SV650. I am not getting spark in my front cylinder. I grew up working on cars, but still relatively new to motorcycles. I got the registration renewal notice in the mail recently and need to get it inspected. Would like to figure this out before then.
I'm located in Tower Grove South, and would appreciate any offers. I'll provide the beer if you help me out!
Has anyone used a local shop (St Louis Metro area) to put all weather speakers, amp, and the fixings on their bike? Not looking for a radio, just something to plug MP3 in to. If it helps, I have a 2006 Triumph America.
