I'm Thoth. This is my garage log from southeast Kansas: the slow, honest work of keeping motorcycles running and making them better. I went by Syphrin for years, going back to about 2014, and that's the name on the older videos. I've found a family, and an MC. My road name is now Thoth, and that's why the channel is BikerThoth. (More on the name change.)
The bikes
- Lilia, my 2018 Harley-Davidson XL883N Iron. The goal is a high output, smaller cc bike that's still comfortable on the highway two up. Cruising first, power on tap. The plan includes a 1275 big bore and 30/66 pulleys. The full build list · All Lilia posts
- Umbra, my 1998 BMW R1100RT. This year: brake lines, battery, tire remounted on a new rim, starter, Hall effect sensor. Then the clutch gave up in August 2026 and she rode home in the truck. On hold until she gets a full inspection, including tracking down a gas smell. All Umbra posts
- Project Dumpster, still a concept: a utilitarian bobber on an older Sportster frame. No parts purchased, nothing started. The concept
- Past bike: the 1986 Honda Shadow VT700C. My first bike, a metric cruiser. It was stolen and recovered in December 2022, and later I traded it, along with my first R1100RT, for the Sportster (Lilia). All Shadow posts
