So I got tired of the humongous BMW rear fender. It doesn't feel as well designed and well made as say, on the Ducati. Instead of aluminum it's an ugly plastic that looks like an afterthought, IMHO. So I've decided to trimmed it myself. Will I miss the functionality of the long one? Oh yes...

With some buddies from the NorCal Ducati last Saturday, 7/26. We met a few Barfers along the way, they rode with us down in CA-1 and had lunch at Nepenthe. I forgot their usernames, maybe they'll chime in here. Great to meet you guys! Route: Alice to coast via Highway 9, then Highway 1 to...

Heh. Pretty bold: drb_Vmakg-Q http://libertyviral.com/man-confronts-cop-he-recorded-breaking-the-law/#axzz386pP6RfA

So I had this discussion with some road bikers friends of mine here, preparing themselvs for a 160mi ride in Michigan. I asked how their friends there do their training on the roads, and the problem of lane splitting arrived. So motorcycle lane splitting in US, is only legal in CA, right...

After my 10 year old intensive Ballet training, we went all the way to Walnut Creek in my K16. Like her mother, she loves the smooth, long leaning on turns, and also the sweepers. Always grinning and even singing too! Singing is a great sign, it's a sign of joy. (I should post the video to...

He gave me that look... ROFLOL :rofl I didn't see it then, I had the camera turned into me, and all the while I thought about this: I just rode away my way. Great day to ride! :thumbup

Hi all, This discussion happened somewhere else and now I'm curious. about what's the practice around here. Do you use high beams during day time at all? If so how and when? What's the practice in other states, if you know? What is the CA law on this? What's the DMV guidelines on this...

Edit: This is not me, in case it's not clear. I just found this video on my Facebook feed. And although I wouldn't do what this rider did - it's not safe -, I don't think he did much wrong at all. I think he was out there recording it for the benefit of us all, actually, to build a case. I'm...

thant leads the Bike into the pool. :laughing watch?v=TvgCBUzNONE (hope it's not a repost, I searched!)

Forgot how many cars are always there. Oh well. Never been there with a bike, bricks looked slippery, but at 3mph what could go wrong? :teeth However it was fun trying to split with the panniers on. Bags were 5" or more to the outside of the camera, I was checking the mirrors the whole time...

Yes. After a long search, this is what I like to ride. It's not the most beautiful bike in the world, but up close, it's an engineering marvel. I really like the build quality, the noises, the functionality on this bike. Already got the matching blue top case for it, the plan is to ride with...

Hi to all LEO and lawyers out there, What kind of information is publicly available given a license plate number in CA? Should I bother blurring my pictures? After googling, it seems that after 1994 you can't get someone's address with them, unless it's a Leo. Is that true? Does anyone...

Test rode the 2014 R1200RT today. Makes me want to research twin cylinder bikes. Why some are so eager to rev, like the Moto Guzzi and Ducati, while others are so reluctant? From my limited knowledge, it's just the BMW boxer have a two long stroke, while others are oversquare. BMW should change...

What do you think is this bike at BMW SF worth? Plus loaded with BMW options: I like the HP digital Cluster - other 09' K I've seen look pretty old - and the Akra slip on and the extended warranty. CF bits are nice. Seat is hideous with that smuggler option (are these practical?), but I...

Okay, so I came to see this Multistrada with absolutely no rear brakes. Seriously? After I test rode it, and mentions it to the owner - very polite guy btw- The guy first told me, they're low, as from the factory...I just test rode another one, man, I told this before. Don't give me that...

So yesterday I was test driving a BMW K1600GT going East on I-24 around 12:30PM. Sweet bike and I was following a couple of cars at a pretty high speed, 85-90mph for a short while, and we approched this dude on a Harley, not sure if a Dyna or a big Sportster, all black, not wearing a patch, but...

TL;DR: Triumph Tiger has a great engine, basic bike vibe like an European Suzuki Bandit. I'd rather have that engine in a more sophisticated bike, the size of a Multistrada. TL;DR: I want the Ducati, but not this one. Ducati is like a Supermotard that can go to Alaska and to the local...

http://news.yahoo.com/cars-could-drive-themselves-sooner-expected-european-push-113959388--finance.html Am I being naïve or should we welcome this future? As long as one can still be allowed to chose a conventional car - which is the likely outcome -, I think little by little traffic overall...

This is the classic one (did a search, haven't found it here): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q39S4bjjU-Q And this too: http://youtu.be/LihYqP_Fs00 (With caption) http://youtu.be/30dxrwd0Kss BTW, do we have that kind of race here in America, if so where? I'd love to see these guys over...

So today I test drove a 2010 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4v, listed for 10k at Ace Motorsports in Concord. I also test drove a 2009 BMW GS they had there, very low miles, but 3k more expensive. Boy, did I love the Moto Guzzi ENGINE? So sweet, it melts your soul! It's the closest thing to a...
