My Moto Blog

Hi, my name is Nick and I'm the service department manager at Tobacco Road Harley-Davidson in Raleigh, NC. I decided to start a blog to review motorcycles, have technical discussions, share my knowledge and Tech Talk videos, and generally show my love for the greatest sport the world has ever known, motorcycling. I may have additional cultural references such as art, tattoos, and other topics of interest. Thanks for checking it out and feel free to ask me anything!

I'm grateful for my team. This award belongs to them. I can't say enough when I work for people that are so much smarter than me. These guys and gals make me so fucking proud to serve them. While I know what a ten year t-note is and they don't, they can tell me why the green and red wire should be in terminal #8 instead of terminal #52 in the ECM. You guys and gals are the absolute best and this isn't mine, thank you!!!!!

We, as US citizens, have a duty. If you didn't vote early, today is the day. I don't care what your politics are, or who you vote for, just do your civic duty today and get out there. Be heard and influence the change you want.

So stoked to hear Jack is OK. What a scary incident in turn 2 today in Sepang. A stark reminder of the dangers of riding prototype machines on the razors edge. The risks these men shoulder for our entertainment is incredible. Also, a reminder of how far safety regulations have come over the last 75 years, starting with Kenny Roberts protest in the late 70s to the airbag technology of today. In the actual race though, WOW WOW WOW, what an exciting battle between Martin and Pecco.....literally on the edge of my seat for the first 5 laps!

Good on Dorna!!!

‘I don’t think it should be held’: Marquez on flood-hit Valencia MotoGP

The six-time MotoGP world champion is one of several riders who believe the season-ending race should be held elsewhere.

I 100% agree with Marc. Valencia looks like western NC right now. The focus should not be on racing, but helping the people who lost their homes and more. Race somewhere else, Silverstone, Jerez, anywhere. Dorna has a huge opportunity to do the right thing....with western NC being so close and near to my heart, I'm hoping they do....

First of all, the MLB trumps the pinnacle of motorsport for the Philip Island GP? UGH, I can't stand TRUtvs coverage. 5 laps total i got to watch from both races. I know what you're thinking, shame on you for not getting videopass. Whatever. Strange animals live in Australia, including the only rider to opt NOT to run aero (it is optional at PI due to the high winds) Raul Fernandez, which had a surprisingly good showing, although poor starts landed him in the top ten, stealing the potential of a podium which he blamed on uncontrollable wheelies. The we have the 180mph+ tangle between Bez and Vinales. Very scary to say the least, thankfully both riders are OK. With three rounds remaining, and Marquez getting more in the mix, could team orders from Ducati force the satellite rider and future teammate of Pecco to try to hamper Martin's 20 point lead? Could we see Martin take the #1 plate to Aprilia? 20 points, two riders, three rounds. It's going to be an exciting conclusion to 2024 to say the very least.

My hometown is famous for a lot of reasons. Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, Caterpillar, the first town in Illinois....but, IMO, the biggest thing is AFT Peoria TT. Unique in the flat track community, it's the only track with jumps and left and right turns . Almog with the Springfield Mile, two treasures of the Illinois motorcycle community. #kingkenny
