In this session of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast, I share my 8 rules for selecting your first, or next, motorcycle. Follow these steps and avoid the pitfalls of buying a motorcycle that you later hate.

The guidelines explained here work perfectly for selecting your second motorcycle, your third motorcycle… or your tenth motorcycle.

These are the same rules I follow every time I purchase a motorcycle.

More specifically, in this session you’ll find out about:

• My 8 rules to follow every time you purchase a motorcycle.
• Why $4000 is my sweet spot for a used motorcycle.
• Why some new motorcycle models aren’t displayed in motorcycle dealerships.
• Why understanding the 8 categories of motorcycles and selecting the one that best fits your riding goals is the most difficult, yet most important part to get ‘right’.
• How to enjoy the process of selecting and purchasing your next motorcycle.

Resources and links mentioned in this session:

• I am working on the training course that I mentioned in the podcast. If you have specific questions about buying or selling a motorcycle using eBay, Craigslist, or CycleTrader, post them below and I will answer them.
• Where’s the video showing how to see completed auctions on eBay? I should have that completed and posted here in the next week or so.

In this session of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast, I share what you should expect during your first motorcycle ride in the rain. I also share 9 tips that will help you ride in the rain like a pro.

My first ride in the rain was a surprise. The weatherman said there almost no chance of rain, so I rode to work. But it poured on my 15-mile commute home. People were snickering all around me. I was wet and cold, but somehow I managed to keep a grin on my face. You can read all about that memorable ride in the article BikeBandit.com published (listed below).

More specifically, in this session you’ll find out about:

• 5 things you can expect when riding in the rain for the first time.
