Czeching Out America is about Adventure, on the road as well as in life. In the Fall of 2022, I sold my house and almost everything else. I've been traveling on my Triumph Tiger 900 ever since. Life is about adventure. You may not have the time or resources to just take off, but you can certainly have adventures. I hope this channel inspires you to have some!
On this channel you will find: 1) Seeing what's out there right here in America! 2) Helpful tips to make travel more fun and manageable. 3) Interviews to inspire you.

Thanks for this. I have a Tiger 900 Aragon and this is a great tutorial for me. A few things are different, but this is enough of a clue to get through everything! Thanks again!
What about the maintenance? Are they easy to work on yourself? MUST you take them to a dealership for most maintenance? These are key factors in purchasing about which nobody talks.
That's a great question! Yes, they are easy to work on for routine maintenance like oil changes! Not much to remove for access. Everything is laid out in an easily accessible manner. I do recommend taking them in for the valve checks and first shakedown dealership check. Especially because I was traveling, I did not have access to tools to do much beyond the basics, so I can't speak to how difficult that sort of higher level work would be.
@Czeching_Out_America Thanks for the prompt reply. I like working on my bikes myself. I just don't trust the service departments due to past incompetence. I'm not confident with valve clearances, but everything else is good. Some bikes are built so you MUST take them to service departments for certain maintenance. That's my main holdup on buying this bike. Thanks.
Thanx for a thorough review. Looking to purchase one of these. But still reluctant, coming from a bulletproof Suzuki Vstrom 650, which i consider the best VFM tourer ever.
To move winscreen whilst riding grab the top of the screen , you have more leverage. I have the 2023 GT Pro and rode the 2024 one. The 2024 versison has better brakes, a little more power and slightly less vibration. The new TFT screen is not an improvement, it is not as easy to navigate. I would not change my 2023 for the small advantages.
Helpful! Just had my bike tip over due to some gusty winds and a poor choice of pulling-over location. Surprisingly the handguard is fine but the end of the lever got the break. I know it's in my wheelhouse to be able to replace, seeing it done just confirms that!
nice to see a channel without BS introduction and titles - you get right into it. I have a chance to buy a 23 for $5000 less than a 24 model. The 24 is a much nicer looking bike especially in red but that a lot of $$. The changes are not vital and to your point about seating position I am more of a sport rider than a touring rider.
The first accessory on my list is a set of hot air deflectors to move the radiator heat away from my knees. The 900 GT PRO is the hottest motorcycle I have ever ridden. Triumph needs to fix this, and issue a recall.
My kids are grown ups by now, and none of them have takes up bikes. But both enjoyed riding with me. At an early they were put in charge of the waving at the other bikers. Even if they don't ride themselves, the past experience makes them feel as part of the community.
Here in the UK Harley Davidson riders tend to keep themselves separate to other bikers, even parking up separately. Other than that I would agree with everything you said
Wheelies - In Rider mode - set Sports MAP, Traction Control OFF. Unless it's set this way the computer pulls a bunch of bottom end torque out and the traction control does the rest to keep that front wheel down, the bike is a lot more lively in a custom Rider mode if that's your thing, took me a while to find it.
I have many interests, including bikes, and motorcycles are my favorite! I relate mostly to other bikers as you’ve described. I have two sons and they both like bikes. I don’t get to ride with them very often but I enjoy the hell out of it when I do. And they both like other bikers too. It’s great and I’m happy we all have that trait! Good for us!
Lifetime rider here. Started my son riding when he was about seven. He enjoyed it but not enough to keep riding. He got into other sports like kids do. But we have some good memories and it taught him some good life lessons. I wanted to give him the opportunity to ride and do it correctly. It's fine that he doesn't ride now and I never pressured him. His passion turned out to be football and he was very good at it.
And they learn to do something dangerous carefully!!! This is a critical life skill so many young people are missing today. They’ve barely been scared of truly scary things and now the simplest things overwhelm them.
