I work in the hair industry. Started off cutting hair, now I also get on stage at the trade shows and conventions to yell and complain about corporations and trends brainwashing and ripping off "creative" people who cut hair. I've gotten some followers in the process, but it's starting to be...

I bought one of these from their last run. I'm not affiliated with them or anything, just a happy customer. VERY cool bag, super sturdy, will probably last a lifetime. I had a Filson bag before I got this and it felt light and flimsy in comparison- basically the Filson felt like it was worth...

I ask about this here because I'm new to having people ask me for bike advice, as I'm relatively new to bikes myself. Been on two wheels for the past 2 and a half years and watching friends pick it up now, too. But this one guy in particular worries me! On one hand, he's an adult and not my kid...

If I should just quit wanting to try this, let me know. Maybe I'll find my answers in the "learning the hard way" thread. I ride a 1973 Triumph T140 and a few guys I know are all wheelie happy on their ninja 1000's and such, but today for a laugh I thought I'd try one. Didn't even expect the...

I own two vintage perfectos, and a vintage bomber jacket, but my wife says they look costumey, and now that's been engrained in my head. I feel like a greaser when I wear my perfecto now, and like lieutenant dan when I wear my Vietnam era G1... As fa as my riding jackets go, they're RIDING...

I learned on a left side shift, and have only been riding about a year. I just finished building a 1973 T140V and am curious to see how well I'll take to shifting and braking with opposite feet. One guy I know has been riding both ways for several years, and is equally comfortable on them. He...

Anyone stick motorbike stuff where it doesn't belong? Can be as simple as yard art, even... I do hair for a living, and I started putting hand grips on my brushes. This is a replacement grip for a vintage style Triumph. Incidentally, this particular brush (Denman) is made in England, and was a...

All the jeans I've found that come with Kevlar in the abrasion areas are ugly as sin, so I found pretty cheap sheets of the stuff on ebay... Anyone ever sewn this into their cool guy jeans? It's like $10 shipped for a piece big enough to do jeans, but I don't know it it'll ruin my wife's sewing...

I keep seeing these Simpson Bandit knock off helmets on eBay. Bids sell for around $100, BIN sells for around $150 with free shipping. Apparently they're DOT certified... I'm worried to spend $150 and get something super cheesy looking/feeling. I'm worried the sizing will suck and I'll have a...

I love vintage clothing, and have recently been finding amazing value in surplus military clothing. I was at an antique store a few months back, where I found an vietnam war era G1 jacket, that had been heavily modified, so it was selling for very cheap (I've seen similar jackets go for $300+...

So should I not buy this to wear while I ride my motorbike, then? But it looks so cooooool! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Simpson-Voyager-Fr-White-Medium-SA2010-Rated-4100021-/190607427484?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item2c6116879c&vxp=mtr

So I accidentally found these AMAZING boots today, but I had literally spent every penny I had on me, about 5 minutes before. These were at an antique mall, in a booth full of Nazi helmets (those are what caught my attention. I'd never seen any Nazi paraphernalia in real life, and I was just way...

I have a 1980 Suzuki GS750, and I am not digging the farting duck sounds it makes. I'm interested in putting on a 4 into 1 exhaust, probably with no baffles, and I find kits like this for about $300 on eBay. Is that the best option to make my exhaust sound meaner? A $300 kit? If I were to take...

So I've only owned my bike for a few months now, and half of that time it has been in a friend's secure garage, during wrenching season, while the other half of the time it was in my car port, with my car parked right in front of it to block it in. I live in a condo that was built as an...

Maybe it's a complete faux pas to talk about this within a motorcycle community- please correct me if I'm out of line or breaking a motorcyclist code in talking about this. I don't know- I'm new... But as a newer rider, I get to hear from everyone I know, about their third cousin's godfather who...

My dad bought an old, used leather jacket in the late 70's when he began riding his Harley. He wore the jacket regularly until he died when I was 12 (1997). When I started riding a few months back, my mom asked me if I wanted my dad's leather jacket. I had forgotten all about it. But now it's...

I've been building guitars for about 4 years now. I don't remember why I started, I was just consumed with the desire to build guitars, and since it wasn't a desire to do crack or cheat on my wife, I indulged. Each guitar I'd build earned me a little cash to buy a nicer tool to make a nicer...

I have a friend who is pretty much a guru when it comes to Triumph (and other bikes from that side of the pond). He helped me find and work on my first bike (1980 Suzuki GS750. Thread around here, somewhere), which I purchased because I couldn't afford the Triumph I really wanted. Well, a few...

This is my first bike, ever. I have a thread in the intro section, documenting my contraction of the motorbike bug, and the hunt for this bike. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=42602.0 I wanted a cafe racer, admittedly brought to my attention because it is trendy as hell, because...

Hi. Total n00b here, I admittedly have had cafe racers brought to my attention by the recent bandwagon excursion. A quick two seconds about myself, and how I got the bike bug, if you don't mind. I started out as a punk kid who didn't want to do his school work. Ended up working on my '57 Chevy...
