As a hard core true motorcyclist, of course I rode my TL from work to the dentist today. Dr. Lum needs some new appliances, and so I needed some new fillings and crowns. As all good things come in due time, today I was scheduled to have one of my old silver fillings drilled out and replaced...

Couldn't find that "Hottest female celebrity" thread :cry Just wanted to wish her happy birthday! Looking great at 31!

It's uncanny - every time I see a Hawk rider (I mean the little NT650 hawks), they are always zipping past me super fast, no matter what the traffic is like, even when I'm going 80 in the commute lane. Are they all going to some giant dog party in the top of a tree? Are they in a hurry to get...

Just buy two boxes of CCI .22 or .17, and get a free T-shirt! Rock on! http://cci-ammunition.com/default.asp?pg=11

So there I am, humbly pulling commute duty on the TL, northbound 880, from 237 on up to Castro Valley. As I approach the Warm Springs underpass in Fremont, a fellow on a nice red 959rr catches up, and we weave through the checkerboard. I wind up in the left lane so I can get in the carpool...

Don't know if I missed the thread, but IMX burned down Thursday night. All the KTM's are gone! :cry :cry :cry Strangely, the Ducati's didn't look any worse for wear. :p

Yee-haw, just rolled up 58,000 miles on my TL1000s! Now I need new tires, though.. I think I'll try out that Pirelli Dragon deal to get a free front. Next on the agenda - suspension rebuild!

I only saw one other biker out today. I was thinking I was hardcore, but when I waved, and he waved back, it looked like he wasn't wearing gloves! That's wack! Overall, the day's commute wasn't bad, the wind was worse than the rain. The only part that really sucked was from 880 onto 238...

Yippee skippy! After a month of the TL sitting around, yesterday, I finally pulled on the rubber gloves, grabbed two bottles of DOT 4, and pumped a ton of the stuff through the front lines. What a difference! I think this is the first time in it's 5 year life that the front brakes have been...

Over the summer, I did some revitalization work to my '97 TL1000s, and part of that was installing a new Spiegler rotary master brake on the front, with stainless lines, and new pads. I put in purple DOT 5 fluid, and bled and bled and bled the lines. It was all great, stopped fine, and much...

Hey, am I the only one worried about taking care of my leather gloves? I had never really thought about it before, but recently noticed that they were getting kinda grey and crunchy. So, I bought some of that Armor All Leather Care, and spray them down with it every once in a while. Figure...

Hi all! I finally finished installing the LSL Superbike handlebar kit and Spiegler brakes that I had bought about two years ago. Have a look! Question though: Where's a good place, near Castro Valley, where I can get some mirrors and a fairing bracket fabricated? The windshield is basically...

Hi Doc! Have you seen the June issue of Friction Zone? In its Health Zone, it has a question from a motorcyclist (a motor-cop, actually), who was rear-ended on his motorcycle, and received a real bad case of whiplash. The Dr. Skolnick, who responded, gave a textbook explanation of whiplash...
