Everyone forgets to clean their helmet and their riding gear until it's time to ride lol That reminds me I need to give my mud-covered boots some love XD

Good info, Tony. Changing oil every season isn't a bad idea at all. I have issues here with the schizo weather of the winter months that causes condensation to collect in the motor and primary. Always a good idea to be mindful of that.

[@TonysGarage]

I have the same problem here cold, warm, cold condensation is always a problem. Thanks for watching Tramp. Need to get involved in your next livestream. They look like a good time.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

@@TonysGarage If there is another one.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Brakes are indeed necessary 😂😂 man I can't wait for summer

[@TonysGarage]

They come in handy🤣😂. Thanks for watching.

[@hoosierfatboy3690]

Good point on tire pressure, that’s one I always seem to overlook. I do a three hole every spring so my baby has all that freshness for the new season.

[@TonysGarage]

You definitely can’t go wrong with that schedule. Thanks for watching ride safe.

[@whitmeza]

Sooooo close!!

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

First off, congratulations on the 5k Tony 💯, and yep I do the same thing here Brother, I want my bike to be safe and to last, great video brother 💯✌️😎

[@TonysGarage]

Thank you, still can’t believe I hit 5k. I guess my bullshit is strong🤣😂. Thanks for watching!

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@TonysGarage anytime Brother 👍 💯

[@jiripastrnak1936]

thank God I live in the desert lol. no " putting the bike away" . maybe for like 10 days a year when it rains😂

[@DCyclemoto]

Them Southerners have no idea how good they have it. Spring is like Christmas up here!

[@TonysGarage]

It sure is! Winter straight sucks.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Haha, the oil discussion. I see what you did there.

[@TonysGarage]

You liked that huh🤣😂

[@ChaseTheRide]

Tony great points. I would be in trouble if I only changed fluids once a year. In Colorado don't have to put the bike up for the winter. I agree change it yearly or every 5K.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@steveimper.8839]

YAHOOO Tony I got the same bike as u and when i heard u where ready to ride i had to come see u,I'm doing what your doing now getting ready.I'm going to the dealer today to get a oil netter thing to keep a eye on the oil temp.LETS RIDE.

[@TonysGarage]

Let’s do it!

[@modernvisionscc]

I ether change it right at the end of one season or beginning of another. But I got a older carb Sportster. I only do about 1k miles a season. This year I hope to double it.

[@martyportersr7008]

Tony I hope things are going well for you. Don’t be so hard on yourself. This is good content for all to see. Good for new riders as well as older riders. I took my Hammer up to northern Illinois and traded it for a 2012 Victory Kingpin with 11k on it. It will be much more comfortable than the Hammer that I had. Then in 18 months I should be able to save up. Enough to buy a 19 or 20 street glide. I should have bought a Glide instead of the new 18 Fatboy. Once it warms up will ride.

[@TonysGarage]

Sounds good Marty! Remember MMM is in Louisville this year it’s gonna be a lot of fun. Weather seems to be breaking, now we just need to get this rain outa here!

[@TonysGarage]

Congrats on the trade victorys are some smooth riding bikes.

[@martyportersr7008]

Tony Cox It will get me thru until I get the Glide.

[@kidmoto22]

The great oil debate of 2020! I’m an oil change every season at a minimum depending on the miles might be more.

[@TonysGarage]

There is no winning that debate for sure🤣😂. I wish I worried about my cars oil as much as my bike.

[@VVoltz]

Great vid,simple tips that are extremely helpful, I would add double checking your belt, just to make sure it does not any cracks. Question Tony, how often do you replace your helmet?

[@TonysGarage]

What’s up Walter? I usually replace my helmet every couple of years. Unless it takes a hard drop or fall then I replace sooner. Thanks for watching dude!

[@JoshRShupe]

Spokes!!!

[@TonysGarage]

Damn, that’s should have made the list. Thanks for watching ride safe Josh.

[@colekirschenmann5464]

Thanks for the reminder Tony! How does a guy get one of your stickers???

[@TonysGarage]

Send me a dm over on Instagram and I will get some out to you.

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Ride season ? That year around

[@jpphd5685]

Hey Tony. Wassup? Do u start it up in the winter? Or is it not necessary?

[@TonysGarage]

I keep it on a battery tender so it really isn’t necessary but it does hurt to start it every now and then to circulate the fluids.

[@RC44E]

While'll your down their eh.

[@TonysGarage]

🤣🤣🤣. Yeah as I watched it back I should have reworded that. Thanks for watching!

[@spencerb8609]

Do you keep the pinlock in all summer?

[@TonysGarage]

Yes, I leave it on all year long. I find once I remove it it really never seals right again. Thanks for watching ride safe
