竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Tuesday, 14-May-2024 19:55:39 PDT 竹下憲二 A #tachometer isn't really necessary on a #motorcycle once the rider becomes familiar enough with the engine 🤔 -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Tuesday, 07-May-2024 09:36:32 PDT 竹下憲二 When something can rev to a really high RPM, it means that it can move the vehicle at a given speed in a lower gear, which gives the engine more mechanical advantage and thus a stronger pull than if it was in a higher gear. 🤔 #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Friday, 19-Apr-2024 18:32:54 PDT 竹下憲二 It isn't a real #motorcycle ride until your helmet, visor, and/or bike ends up covered in bug splats. :P -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Monday, 08-Apr-2024 19:02:11 PDT 竹下憲二 Apparently my CBR650R makes both more torque and more horsepower than the CB750 of old. :3c
It also makes slightly more horsepower than the new CB750 Hornet twin, but less torque.

竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Sunday, 07-Apr-2024 20:00:22 PDT 竹下憲二 At the point in my #motorcycle riding where new skills and techniques are coming out of nowhere in response to situational need while I'm out riding. 🤪 -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Saturday, 06-Apr-2024 19:41:56 PDT 竹下憲二 The 648cc inline-four in my CBR650R is my favorite #motorcycle engine so far. :3c -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Saturday, 06-Apr-2024 19:35:16 PDT 竹下憲二 If I could only have one #motorcycle, it would be one with a displacement of less than 700cc. :3 -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Saturday, 06-Apr-2024 16:08:55 PDT 竹下憲二 Most riders: "I need to mount my phone to my handlebars!"
Me: Phone stored in luggage, standalone GPS on handlebars. :3

竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Saturday, 06-Apr-2024 15:39:24 PDT 竹下憲二 Another day of small-displacement inline-four fun. :3 #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Apr-2024 19:57:08 PDT 竹下憲二 I love the sound of a thumper, especially a big one. The valve clatter and exhaust sounds combine really nicely. Kind of funny coming from someone who loves the sound of inline fours. :3c #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Apr-2024 19:41:22 PDT 竹下憲二 "Let's pack the bike with as much horsepower as possible for marketing reasons, which means we'll also have to include electronic nannies that we can charge more for since most people aren't skilled enough to handle such power. Also, it lets us cheap out on other things since weight isn't as important with all that power." 🤪

竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Monday, 01-Apr-2024 17:12:47 PDT 竹下憲二 I want an engine that sings, not one that farts. #car #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Saturday, 30-Mar-2024 10:59:51 PDT 竹下憲二 Ape hangers are dumb. >:3 #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Friday, 15-Mar-2024 17:35:34 PDT 竹下憲二 Based on my experiences #motorcycle riding, I'd say a street bike intended for spirited riding shouldn't weigh more than 500 pounds. 👍 -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Mar-2024 15:53:50 PDT 竹下憲二 Saw some of the new electric #Kawasaki bikes at the local Japanese #motorcycle dealer. 👀 https://diatom.social/url/2710 -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Feb-2024 17:35:31 PST 竹下憲二 Never buy a street bike on Amazon or AliExpress. #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Feb-2024 16:33:42 PST 竹下憲二 Kind of funny how "Indian" is an American brand, but the actual big brand from India that sells in the US is Royal Enfield. 🤔 #motorcycle -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Monday, 19-Feb-2024 10:56:28 PST 竹下憲二 Swappable traction batteries are far more practical for motorcycles than cars because of how exposed the power components typically are in the former (outside of sportbikes). #motorcycle #EV #BEV -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Saturday, 10-Feb-2024 08:27:10 PST 竹下憲二 "Can a Flat-Tread Motorcycle Turn? How Motorbikes Steer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSZiKrtJ7Y0
"If you ride, your brain knows how motorcycles work intuitively, but we bet you'll struggle to explain it accurately. We're trading opinions for science in a pursuit to understand how motorcycles really steer."
These dynamics also apply to #bicycle riding, obviously. #motorcycle #cycling -
竹下憲二 (tk@diatom.social)'s status on Thursday, 08-Feb-2024 15:50:55 PST 竹下憲二 I feel like learning how to ride a #motorcycle made me a much better and more confident #bicycle rider. :3
