    Elias inaugurates a new happy dance in the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca

    So this happened in the corkscrew on Saturday - Elias doing his "victory dance" after winning MotoAmerica Superbike race. A new one on me - I don't think the world has seen this one before. On the cool down lap he comes halfway down the corkscrew, stops and sets his bike down on its side, and...

    Traffic law enforcement by off-duty LEO?

    If an off duty LEO witnesses a traffic violation while they are driving their private vehicle do they have any ability to enforce the law after the fact by getting your license plate number?

    Free MotoGP on go90 app- anyone else using this?

    I just watched the Philip Island race on my iPhone via this app (one of best races of all time, maybe?). First heard about it from Verizon and have caught a few races on it - free. Anyone else using it? (I searched and couldn't find a mention of it anywhere).

    MotoAmerica @ Sonoma - finally some press coverage

    OK, it's not really coverage, but I was so amazed that our local newspaper didn't even mention this event was taking place in our own backyard that I shot off a letter to the editor - which was published in today's paper (few days late and a dollar short, as they say). Check it out, in the...

    WTB: Z2 for 10/7/Sonoma

    I know it's a bit early, but figured I'd throw this out there. Returning racer, wanting to try my hand at track riding again. Rentals are filling up, so if anyone has a Z2 day I can use that'd save me a few bucks. Thanks. Tom

    Apparently the mud slide at Mud Creek (south of Pfeiffer Bridge/Big Sur outage) got worse over the weekend. This shot was taken from a video from Monterey County Sheriff's Dept. :thumbdown

    Concussions and safety

    I probably should have posted this thread in this forum. http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=500950 Is there someone on the board I could discuss this with? I have some info that might be of interest about getting something going on awareness raising and baseline testing...

    Concussions

    Hey all - been awhile since I've hung up my leathers (and I miss racing a ton). Over the course of the six or seven years I was racing I had quite a few get offs, and a ride or two in the meat wagon back to the pits. Fortunately (touch wood), nothing happened that ever required medical attention...

    It's a CRASH, not an Accident!

    Just read about this campaign in an article today. Interesting. I've been saying this for years (as in this thread in 1Rider here). Motorcyclists don't have the luxury of shifting the blame to some unknown force when they end up on the ground. Better to ride as if it's always your own fault...

    Road conditions on 88, US50 in the Sierras?

    Anyone been up there in the last couple days? The traffic cams on the CA DOT site show dry, clear pavement in the places they have them, but there are a couple of the electronic road signs saying carry chains, or warning about snow/ice up ahead. Planning on riding up 395 next Sunday from Death...

    Shop in SF that accepts used apparel for resale/free?

    Big winter cleanout - I've got some used apparel I'd like to get rid of. I remember visiting a workshop in SF that had a second floor lounge where people were selling or giving away their used jackets, etc. Ring any bells? Anyone know which shop that is/was? Thanks.

    Old trophy plaques

    Doing a big winter cleanout and have a box full of old plaques (not from AFM - from my CCS days). They're nice walnut with metal engraved plates screwed onto them. Before I toss them I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has come up with any creative uses for them. If you want them or know...

    Rider down report: another lane splitting crash 8/14/15

    This one was a few days ago - rider up near Novato on 101. Sounded like rider was doing everything legally, but got caught by someone changing lanes. To which someone replied: I guess I don't bother worrying about people signalling or checking their blind spot when I split. If they do...

    Current road condition: Titus Canyon in Death Valley?

    I'm heading to DV in a couple of days on my R12GS with wifey on back, and debating whether to do the Titus Canyon ride. We've done it in 4WD vehicle, and I've done it on a KLR, but I haven't done much gnar on the GS, and except for some easy fireroads, nothing two up. So curious if anyone here...

    Fewer helmets = more deaths. No kidding.

    Only now the CDC says so, and that's gonna up the ante on states and laws about mandatory helmet use. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/03/31/science/motorcycle-helmet-laws.html
