Do you inspect your bike before or after every ride? A vast majority of riders don’t, so the real question is, should we?īack in the day, as riders, we were used to our bikes not being mechanically reliable, however, with new technologies, we nowadays have motorcycles doing scheduled maintenances every 10.000 miles, proving that we are now at a stage of high reliability.
