Another contestant in the "some people have too much time on their hands category". Would love to watch someone back this thing into a corner on a cart track....:wow

The wheelie is more impressive, imho...:wtf http://blog.motorcycle.com/2014/01/21/motorcycle-news/vespa-rider-dragging-knee-chasing-supermoto-video/ http://youtu.be/ogsQ66YukrA

Interesting series in the NYTimes - six installments of this guy's adventures. Whimsical - old guy tales of his ride. This is the first one: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/11/go-east-old-man-mired-in-the-primordial-ooze/ Unfortunately, I think to get the rest of them you have to start...

I'm experimenting with an idea I had awhile ago, which was to write about some of the things I learned from racing. Although I'm retired from racing now, my seven years or so of racing still rate among my greatest life experiences - not just because of the thrill of doing it, but also because of...

I'm guessing the HP4 was sandbagging. But still pretty fun watching the big twin shred some fine lines. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/05/2013-bmw-r1200gs-and-hp4-duel-at-circuito-de-almeria/

Anyone have an old doorway-mounted chinup bar they don't need anymore? I need to do some hanging stretches, and am looking for one of the old-school bars that just friction mounts in the door frame without any holes/brackets. I had one as a kid - it had an internal screw and rubber ends - worked...

Trying to call SF number and it goes to their support center in Benicia. Tried calling three other locations, and all are doing the same thing. Odd. They all say their store hours today are until at least 7pm (some 8pm). It's only a little after 5pm. Anyone else finding this?

No kidding - wish I was going.:rolleyes http://roadracing.metzeler.com/en/reach-the-legend-tab/

I went over the bars on my mountain bike three months ago and broke a few things, including my clavicle. After all the get offs racing that I walked away from, I did myself in on a moutain bike.:rolleyes Anyway, being a 'more experienced' guy (i.e., old fart), it's taking a lot longer for my...

Catch the thunder! It's been over a decade since this show rolled into town. On Saturday, July 28 the Northern California AMA Pro Racing Grand National Championship flat track races return to the Sacramento Mile during the California State Fair! A buddy of mine bought tickets for a group of us...

Especially one that has peddles...184 ft-lbs of torque?? :wtf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVbPewVOuyk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

OK - so I'm guessin this is probably a repost...so go ahead and REPOST away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5S1NAMnYKM&feature=youtube_gdata_player But it was just in the paper today, which is first time I've seen it - pretty fun...

When I was racing the first thing I (and pretty much everyone else who races) learned to do after a crash is replay it over and over in my mind until I feel comfortable that I understand what happened, what I did wrong, what I could do in the future to prevent/avoid it happening again. This is...

Found this site for autocrossing, that provides some nice diagrams on different corner lines; some good tips on doing a trackwalk; some definitions of terms people hear about but often don't really understand; etc. Not all of this is applicable to motorcycles, that's for sure. But as a...

Wifey and I are going to leave early Saturday morning driving from North Bay to Yosemite for some holiday hiking - we've been there before, but not since we've lived up here. Wondering what recommended route would be. Looking at 580 through Dublin/Pleasanton, to I-205 to SR120 all the way in...

I need to replace a rubber fuel line assembly on an old car, and the oem part is a few hundred bucks. Some people have said they just get their's rebuilt. Anyone know of a place that does this? Maybe a fabricator at Infineon?? Or somewhere in North Bay? Thanks for any info.

I've got a buddy who wants to come to the US, buy a bike, tour around for a couple months, and then ship it back with him to Australia. He is wondering about the logistics of getting it registered - since he won't have a permanent address here he wants to use mine. Anyone know what the legal...

Now that the race bike and the dirt bike are both gone, guess it's time to sell my trailer. This is an old-style Kendon 3-rail folding stand up trailer. It is much lighter weight than the current Kendons. I used it to haul my racebike around - towed it behind my Toyota Matrix. :thumbup Also...
