Interactive Friday: Modern Bike or Vintage? Brand Loyalty & Stuff!

Are you ready for another Interactive Friday at Total Motorcycle? This week’s Modern Bike or Vintage? Brand Loyalty & Stuff title might make you scratch your head wondering, but they were are Top 3 topics this week (out of dozens). 1. Pick one motorcycle to ride, would it be Vintage or Modern? We showcase two Indian Motorcycle Scout’s almost 100 years apart! 2. How much loyalty do you have to a motorcycle brand? Is it a lot (Check my tattoo!) 20.4% or Somewhat (you have gear) 31% or Not Much at all it is just a brand 40.7% 3. How much STUFF do you carry on your motorcycle? Do you load it up for the work commute? day trip? week long excursion? or huge overland continental adventure? Follower Dave Flooks @daveflooks shows us what a 7 week trip worth of luggage looks like on his Royal Enfield Himalayan!

I also offered up a very dangerous question this week with “Ask Me Anything” and we had 7 great in-depth motorcycle questions and I answered them all with thoughtful in-depth answers!!!

Every dent or scratch on a motorcycle has a story… does your bike have one?

How much loyalty do you have to a motorcycle brand?

Porsche develops 6 stroke engine! Do you think it will replace motorcycle 2-stoke and 4-stroke engines?

Here is how it works:

1. Intake Stroke: The intake valve opens, and the piston moves down, drawing in a mixture of air and fuel into the cylinder.

2. Compression Stroke: The intake valve closes, and the piston moves up, compressing the air-fuel mixture.

3. First Power Stroke: The spark plug ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, causing an explosion that pushes the piston down, generating power.

4. Second Compression Stroke: The piston moves up again, compressing the remaining gases from the first power stroke.

5. Second Power Stroke: The compressed gases are ignited again, providing an additional power stroke as the piston is pushed down.

6. Exhaust Stroke: The exhaust valve opens, and the piston moves up, expelling the burnt gases out of the cylinder.

What time is it? #Tailpipetuesday

Who lives in the garage and roars down the street?
