I have a '93 4runner with an engine problem, and I'm looking for a good shop in the area between Hayward and ... Mountain view (live in hayward, work in sunnyvale). I'm not sure a dealer is the best place to take such and old 4runner. The problem is that the driver's side front cam seal is...

I don't see the usual link for the combined CA/NV trackday schedule yet. Has anybody made one yet? Time to build my 2008 trackday spreadsheet.

OK, this is years and years after the incident but I've been wondering lately... A few years ago at the intersection of Lawrence Expressway and Arques Ave in Sunnyvale, I was intending to make a u-turn from the Southbound Lawrence side to travel North on Lawrence. As I approached the turn...

Any other bikergeeks here going to Dallas?

RFR's turn 5 (the uphill turn onto the back section) is ... weird. It feels like going over a jump while leaned over; it's un-nerving. It's as if somebody draped a road over a miter joint between two different thicknesses of wood; the hump goes diagonally across the turn after the apex. I...

So it looks like I managed to get this Fog City insert installed without screwing it up like the last time I tried. Anybody have experience with long-term use of Plexus on the insert? Is OK?

Does this Street Vibrations thing take over all the hotels/motels in the area? I'm leaving for a trackday at Fernley in the next hour or two, and I was just going to try to find someplace when I first get into Reno that looks like it has a safe parking lot (open trailer). Is that going to be a...

Holy Crap! Have you seen this? http://tinyurl.com/26udte Google/DigitalGlobe/Whoever have a great new satellite image of RFR. Looks like it might be 1m resolution.

What part of your track riding are you working on at your next trackday? I've taken almost three months off, so for me it will be "everything" this weekend; I'm a little nervous about going back. And a little nervous about the "H" configuration at RFR; the map looks like there will be two...

Anybody here use GIS for work or otherwise? (Besides you, [the other] Dave.)

As I was heading to work this morning, construction on Mission in Hayward forced me to head toward the giant clusterfsck at 92 and 880. As I approached, I wondered to myself "Wouldn't it suck if they weren't even letting traffic over to the southbound 880 onramp?" Well, that's what they did...

First storm of the season is on the way: http://capnorth.oes.ca.gov/120637.xml?2007-09-17T15:24:30-07:00

I live on the side of a hill in the East Bay, in the area owned by CalTrans where they were going to put the 238 Extension. While inside city limits, the area is very sparsely populated because over the years CalTrans has buldozed many of the houses rather than repair them. It's got a nice...

So how do y'all take care of your leathers after a few days/weeks/months riding hard in 100-degree weather?

I'd bought a tap-and-die set to clean loctite from old parts, particularly nuts and tapped holes. Blind holes present a problem of course, but I'm also usually nervous that I'm going to screw up the stock threads. What do you "pros" do?

On my way home from work a few days ago, which consisted of about 20 miles of rush-hour traffic on 101 and 880 from Sunnyvale to the East Bay, my right footpeg snapped off. (Luckily it waited until I was in a store parking lot.) (Bike is a 2000 SV650 with about 45,000 miles on it.)...

Anybody know anything about it? PM me.

[ already posted these deep in a thread in Trackdays ] I've made my first couple of YouTube video posts; these are both from the B-group sprint race at last week's Keigwin's Intermediate School at Thunderhill: Forward view with datalogger overlay "Facecam" with foward-view Pic-in-Pic...

Video peeps ... how are you optimizing your stuff for upload to youtube and/or google? (or other sites?) My first test are being mangled by their transcoding :(

I have a SureFire U2 LED flashlight. Just about out of the original set of SureFire-brand batteries I bought with the light. What's the best deal on batteries for this thing? (I don't use it very much, so I'm not sure rechargeable would be best ... don't they self-discharge much faster than...
