Dude is in a club that raises money for youth organizations.....he gets pulled over by Gang Task Force and then... http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_26448525/motorcyclist-sues-santa-cruz-county-law-enforcement-after I think dude has a slam-dunk case for big-time money. I hope he gets...

Just in case you aren't getting any "respek" First day back in Bay Area traffic, after a month and a half in the boonies, and I am already thinking "predator drone escort" for my next ride....

I have never seen Yellowstone as empty as it is right now. Apparently all the geezers visitors wait till after Labor Day, expecting fewer people, but in reality they are just caught in the post Labor Day Geezer crowd..... Now that school districts typically start the school year by mid-August...

I seem to have ignited a lively discussion at TRIUMPHRAT by asking members to vote in the poll.... Interesting that some of the American riders of Triumphs think lane sharing is a bad idea. Weird. http://www.triumphrat.net/biker-hang-out/452610-please-support-lane-sharing-in-california.html

I just arrived home in St. Anthony, Idaho (summer digs). I took a ride this afternoon out to Mud Lake, near the INL Lab, sort of high desert with a sprinkling of giant mountains, peppered with tumbleweed, antelope and other desert flotsom. On my way back, a massive hailstorm caught up to me and...

For all of you who knew Erik, or enjoyed one of his cocktails, I have to report some very bad news: http://blog.sfgate.com/stew/2014/07/15/beloved-bartender-killed-in-motorcycle-crash/

Saw one of these this AM, parked in West Yellowstone. http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Products/TU250X/2012/TU250X.aspx The first thing that came to mind of course was, "Hey, let's take it apart and make it a small-bore cafe bike!" Sort of like the way Mickey Rooney would say...

My house-sitter called today to go over my recent mailbox contents...and when she asked if I wanted her to open a letter from the Superior Court in San Mateo, I knew that the eagle had landed... This is the result of contesting a Red Light Camera ticket I got almost a year ago. The only thing...

Every time I visit a no helmet law state, I find myself doing a double-take nearly every time I see a naked-head rider. I was out this AM on an early AM ride on the Hwy 47 Scenic Byway near Ashton, Idaho, and found that it was me who was getting all the double takes. Why? Aerostich...

Ok, so I trailered the F4i up to Idaho-Montana-Wyoming for my annual trout-scaring trip. On the 4th, I packed my fishing gear on the F4i and headed to Birch Creek, which is right next to BF Egypt, or Lone Pine, depending on how you look at it. On the way back, I noticed a small dirt air strip...

I have to restrain myself this time, since I would be looking for the featherbed frame to stuff this 2 stroke demon in to. I know some one here has always wanted to ride a Water Buffalo. I found you this one: 1971 Suzuki GT750 Triple - $2500 (santa cruz)...

Ok, how many of us know who was the first, ever Moto-Rider to cross the Oakland-Bay Bridge? It was Leslie Van Denmark, "motorcycle speed king" who crossed on his Indian. Newscopy: "All speed records across the new bay bridge were broken today so that Call-Bulletin readers might enjoy pictures...

I recently acquired an in-line 4 cylinder, middle weight bike, after years of mostly avoiding high-revving in-line bikes (except for a 2003 R1) and riding various 2 cyl. bikes with a lumpy power delivery, to include a VF1000R, a couple of Ducatis, a Guzzi, a bunch of British Twins, and similar...

I got up early this AM and took a trip East to the Oakland Hills. I had a great time re-visiting all my old favorite roads, then landed at the Rockridge Cafe for Breakfast. Around 1130 I headed back west and found the morning commute was still on. In fact it was solid cars from College Ave on...

This AM, while sorting out a problem with Fastrak, something triggered a long smoldering resentment I have about the methodology California uses to calculate road use fees, registration, tolls etc. In California, if you own a 2 axle vehicle, such as a Massive Ford Expedition, or a Smart car...

....I take a walk every day, about a 2.5 miler. On one of the routes I take is this nice little bike, that I see about half the time. I have spoken to the owner about it at length, I owned a similar bike back about 10 years ago, so I know this one pretty well. This guy parks out in front of...

Why do they do crap like this? Just very hard to understand... http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-motorcyclist-killed-20140216-story.html

Not for sale to California customers,....must be the emission systems are not compliant, but how bad can it be for 2195.00 ? http://gokartsusa.com/SXR-250-Sport-Motorcycle.aspx

Seems like motorcyclists are not the only ones that are getting the hoohoo when they are mixed up with a car.
