Chopper motorcycle DIY maintenance

Chopper motorcycle DIY maintenance

I’m talking about do-it-yourself maintenance for chopper motorcycles but, all these motorcycle checks would apply to almost any other motorcycle. as well.

Keep in mind, It’s little things like these checks and maintenance that can keep you from being stuck on the side of the highway on some lonely mountain road. But not only that, doing motorcycle maintenance for yourself will save you quite a bit of money compared to bringing it into the dealer, and also, provides great satisfaction in knowing that you were able to do it and that it’s been done correctly.

The Montezuma grade s22 ( the entire Montezuma Valley Road is about 22 miles long) which is a little over 10 miles going down from Ranchita to Borrego Springs California.. Many motorcyclist in the San Diego area consider this one of the best motorcycle roads in San Diego County. This road has all the twists and turns any motorcyclist would love combined with great vistas out over the desert. There are at least two gas stations in Borrego Springs for those of us with small gas tanks.

Yes, as it shows on the map above, this ride will be about four hours. With gas stops, and lunch at the Borrego Days festival, you should figure a total of about five/six hours. If his is a little much for you, or you just can’t get away for that time we have another shorter ride on 10-19-19 to the Ramona motorcycle show, the day before this ride. I’ll post info on the Ramona ride tomorrow. Ideally, you  can make both of these rides! Perhaps thinking of th Ramona ride as a warm-up to the Borrego ride. Read more »

This is the first use of my new 360° VR camera to video a motorcycle ride. the camera is a Insta360 One, that records in 4K resolution. For best possible viewing results, change the resolution of this video up to 4K and full-screen, if your device can handle it without buffering. If you have a problem, just lower the resolution until it plays back correctly.

Riding up to Mount Laguna and Julian California is the most popular San Diego motorcycle ride. If you look closely at the video when we’re riding into Julian you’ll see a large amount of motorcycles parked on both sides of the main street. Read more »
