The Valve Check

What this episode covers

Radio TRO is brought to you in part by: Twisted Road - Motorcycle Rental in the USA Visit Twisted.TRO.bike to get a FREE riding day! Robin demands you read a massive article about GSX-8R valve checks beforehand, even if it hasn't been published yet. Apparently we should all spend our weekends measuring microscopic engine gaps instead of actually going somewhere. It's the ultimate bedtime story for nerds who think getting grease under their fingernails counts as a personality trait. Brian wandered into a dealership to ogle the new Triumph models and complain about people touching the merchandise. He drooled over the Thruxton 400 and its fancy half fairing while worrying about ancient immobilizer tech. Finally he watched a Fort Nine video that was more about feelings than motorcycles but liked it anyway. Joanne has decided she might actually ride her motorcycle alone for once, aiming for a week-long solo trip that avoids a rescue mission. She’s also tackling the expensive elephant in the room by explaining how to replace your riding gear without spending ten grand. Apparently budget-friendly safety is possible even if it doesn't come with a fancy brand label.
