The False Neutral Podcast Episodes 108 & 109 – More 2021 Bikes & Workshop Randomness

On this episode, Garrett, Eric, and I discuss few more new models we didn’t cover in December’s 2021 New Model Review: Honda’s 1100 Rebel, the return of the Suzuki Hayabusa, what Indian is getting right and Harley continues to get wrong. We then share a few recent garage purchases we’ve made, or are currently considering, and in my case, what I bought sort of by accident. The discussion wraps up with a review of the Chinese-made cobbler’s sewing machine I bought on impulse mid-episode last month. [Spoiler: totally worth it!]

    That Harley Softail Low Rider’s paint brings back painful memories of the AMF years. However, when people have to find something good to say about the AMF years they almost always say ‘paint schemes!’. Mixed emotions.

    The Rebel 1100 is pushing the boundaries of the Rebel brand, which is synonymous with low-displacement, novice friendly bikes. (Kawi seems to go the other way, with their Ninja and Eliminator bikes starting out as big bores and later being offered as smaller bikes.)

    The Nighthawk: Check the availability of cam-chain slipper-tensioners. I know that was the death of my pal’s 650 nighthawk, but that was a much older bike.

    The model is said to bring many fresh features, easy to control, powerful 115 horsepower engine far ahead of many other competitors. Along with that, 17-inch wheels with sport-travel rubber tires, windshield and 22-liter side storage are ready to bring a satisfying long journey to the driver.

    A critique of the cobbler’s sewing machine I impulsively purchased mid-episode last month from China concludes the subject.
