Interactive Friday: Hallowe'en Bikes & Best Riders Tips!

Happy Hallowe’en Total Motorcycle readers! Did you have a great one? Were you shelling out to the kids or escorting your little ghoul around the neighborhood? Welcome to this week’s Interactive Friday: Hallowe’en Bikes & Best Riders Tips! Here at Total Motorcycle were busy putting up new 2025 BMW, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Triumph this week as well as a viral week over at @TotalMotorcycle and our TMW community forums. It’s growing each week and I can tell you are enjoying it and getting involved. Already we have over 31,000 followers on our X account and 22,900 in our forums.

So what was the posts that were so active and went viral? Well, anyone is lucky to get one or two posts a week get super popular, we had 7 of them! A great week for sure not only for us but also for our readers, followers and supporters.

Enough of the patting on the back, here are the great Top 7 posts:

With over 56 comments, our #1 Survey: How long has it been since you first learned to ride? 🏫📖🛵 was a hit! Amazing how fast time flies doesn’t it when you are having fun? And riding a motorcycle is FUN!

Next was 43 comments with: Pass along some advice you that helped you become a better rider! ❓ + 🤔 = 🏍️⭐️ Let’s pay it forward today so future riders can benefit. 😇  This is right up my alley and the reason why I started Total Motorcycle, to help and support riders around the world… if you don’t read ANY OTHER POST this week, READ THIS ONE!!

3rd up was: If your motorcycle has any Orange or Black back on it, show it off for Hallowe’en!!! 🎃 📸🏍️📷 Let’s see those motorcycle pics/photos!! We got 37 wonderful photos of member’s bikes. Check them out, in fact our title image this week is one of those bikes from Cath Hensby @mrshenners maybe you bike can be on our front page too! But you have to submit it to win it!

Moving to #4: “What’s the oldest helmet you’d trust to protect your head on your daily rides? 🏍️💨 A. 0 – 2 years old, B. 2 – 5 years old, C. 5 – 10 years old, D. 10 – 20 years old or E. Over 20 years old. 33 of you posted, commented and had a great time telling us how old your lid was! Again, you’ll find follower Jeroen @watch1962 image of his collection of helmets in our front page photo too! But you have to submit it to win it!

Rounding out the Top 5 with 26 comments was: Does it seem few are interested today in taking things apart, learning how things work and fixing things? As motorcycles get more technologically complex and unserviceable are people just throw-a-way consumers? Did you rebuild, fix or work on motorcycle parts like petcocks, brakes, carburetors, gaskets, fuel lines, etc? With electric engines, what is there left to service? Battery packs you can’t open. Digital displays that are throw-a-way when they break. Does Gen Z, Gen A, Gen Next say “Why bother” right? Your thoughts??

I saw the above on LinkedIn with a post about computer hardware fixing and it inspired me to post it here. Do you work on your own bike?

Sixth out of Seventh, was our controversial survey of the week: Thoughts on unlicensed, uninsured eBike/eScooter riders using roads and highways? Are they in your town/city? Do you treat them like motorcycles/motorcycles or bicycles/bicyclists or just annoyances?

And lastly in #7: What motorcycle year would you go back to if you had a time machine? Bonus: What model would you buy/try/ride? 🏍️⏲️ Some really, really great classic bikes and classic thoughts here!

 

Don’t forget to check out our latest 2025 Motorcycle Models, we added even more of them this week!
