Motorcycle Adjacent Podcast: Episode 3: Riding Habits and New Equipment

Written by Walt in Motorcycle Adjacent Podcast

In The Motorcycle Adjacent Podcast: Episode 3, I discuss the format and direction of the podcast, my riding habits, new equipment that I purchased, and a question from Chopperfett.

Question from Chopperfett

ChopperfettOpens in a new tab. posted a video on his YouTube Channel where he asked – If you had a lump sum of cash, would you use it to buy one expensive motorcycle or multiple less expensive motorcycles?

I found the question intriguing and spent a fair bit of time weighing my options. Ultimately, I would prefer multiple motorcycles suited for different riding styles. For example, I would likely buy three bikes if I had $30k to spend.

This would give me an excellent do-it-all Street Motorcycle in the MT-09 that could tackle short trips around town just as effortlessly as a day trip across the state. The Ninja would see the vast majority of its use on twisty back-country roads and short trips. The V-Strom would enable me to scratch that itch of giving off-road adventure riding a try.

Walt

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.
