Interesting article (no mention of motorcycles) but slip in motorcycle's and it becomes even more interesting. The gist, lighter cars due to fuel economy standards cause more fatalities because those standards aren't applied to heavier vehicles. We all (well maybe I'm being generous) know that...

So I was riding home on the 4 lane hwy, and officer was trying to pull over a car in the #2 lane, they were on the offramp but car decided to pull back onto the hwy I guess. Going slow like 45 in a 65. I pulled out of 1 into 2 well behind the officer kinda just not wanting to get involved in...

I saw the thread on the k9 patrol car, and started thinking about it so thought I'd ask. Sorry if it's a lame thread. lol Anyway, I have minimal experience with k9 patrol, I had a brief friendship with a guy who's dad was a k9 and he always told me how damn vicious the dog was, and that it was...

Snapped my drive belt. :( Looks like they can be had for ~$170 Horrible timing since I sprung for MotoGP for my wife and I, but I guess it should be expected. Only 47k miles on the belt, I expected closer to 100k. Maybe I really do ride like a hooligan, or perhaps the years in storage...

So I've been thinking hard about doing a trackday (or two/more if I like it) and just thought I'd ask a few questions. I'm thinking about getting frank thomas 2 piece 360 zip xti gear. There is a deal with free xti gloves with the purchase, and/or 20% off on the 25th which seem about equal...

Took this on my way to Tacoma on the 19th somwhere in northern california. Thought it would make a nice comparitive photo for all you here. :teeth

So this may be a stupid question, but we always see posts in general like 'OMGWTF if you see an MC on the side of the road you STOP damnit!!!1!' Well today on my way to work I saw an MC officer stopped on the offramp (12 to stony point in santa rosa in case you happen to be on here, but I doubt...

I just realized my reg. is up this month, and I haven't received anything from the DMV. I do know they have the correct address, I updated it with them when I moved, and after that had to renew my license, and again gave them the correct address. I tried doing reg on line, but it says I need...

So it's been a rough week. Started riding again earlier this month, after having been off it since the 14th of december. I'm very happy to be able to ride again, but... Earlier this week my regulator died, or it had been dead long enough from sitting that the battery finally died...

So I was hanging out with some friends, and I went and broke my leg. :cry It looks like I'll have to have surgery on it, and will likely be off the bike for some time to come. I'm really not sure how fast this type of thing heals. I'm depressed. Hope you all are having a good winter...

So you have time to clean the bike today, but know it's going to rain tomorrow, and you'll be riding in it most likely. (barring pure luck that all you have to deal with are puddles, and no rain at the time.) You also have time tuesday to clean the bike, and forecast is for at least less rain...

I only got one decent picture, but it has a few barfers in it, and maybe more I didn't even know. I think they were talking about my harley though. :x :laughing :twofinger

So in the interest of keeping in interesting, I'll keep the text to a minimum. heh. Day one, 5/6/06 stopped in santa rosa for some batteries for the camera, and to kiss the wife goodbye. I spent most of the morning still packing etc, in the interest of really not having much plan at all.

I know you've all been dying to see my ride. I just rode to boston and back, about 1/3'rd of it on this. I borrowed a heritage softail classic for the middle section of the trip. Neither gave me any real trouble in the entire ~6.5k miles :teeth I'm thinking about doing a photo story about...

So on my way home it was raining, and I split up to the front of the light. 4x intersection. Some car coming from the opposite side was all the way over the stop/light line, but stopped, and traffic was going crosswise turning with the light. One suv coming from the left kinda stopped, and...
