Meet at the 76 in Saratoga at 9:30. There will be a short riders brief before kickstands up at 10:00. This will be a short ride: up 9, stop at Four Corners, then up Skyline to STP. Stop for a late breakfast/early lunch at Alices, then back down Skyline and 9 to Saratoga. It will also be a...

I've got a pair of tickets to Huey Lewis & The News at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga for this coming Saturday, August 13, at 7:30pm. These were a gift for my in-laws but due to a death in the family they are out of the country right now and won't be able to go. I'm hoping to recoup some of...

I shot a bunch of video at a trackday in Texas before moving out here, and finally got around to putting a bit of it together. I'm on my '04 Ninja 250, and my buddy George (in the other glowstick) is on an '89 VTR 250. We were at the MSR Cresson 1.3mi circuit, which is very tight and technical...

SJ Cyclegear is apparently sold out of 3-day USGP passes, and they told me the Pleasanton branch still had a good supply, so I'm heading up there tomorrow via Hammy and Mines. Might do the same route back to SJ, or a more direct route back, not sure yet. Meet at the intersection of Alum Rock...

A few weeks ago the tires on the EX-250 were getting pretty worn, so I did some searching around and found a local shop that had pretty competitive prices for tires and installation. I had a regular shop back in TX that cut the guys in my riding group pretty good deals, and I was pleased to...

Not sure if this could go in Crash Analysis, since there was no crash, but it was close... I was heading up 9 this morning at a fun pace, enjoying the sunny weather and dry roads. Partway up, I came up behind a slower white pickup truck. I knew that there was a passing lane coming up shortly...

Are you wondering why I have that annoyed, almost pissed-off look in my eyes? That’s because, for the third time in two weeks, it’s snowing on me. It’s not like I’m way up in the mountains of Colorado this time, either; I’m in southern Nevada, barely an hour from Las Vegas, and June is only...

I was over at Google the other day visiting an old friend for lunch. We grabbed some of the goofy-looking bicycles they keep there for getting around, and at the bicycle parking area there was a sad sight: a nice white 3rd-gen VFR, apparently abandoned. Cobwebs across the clipons, pegs, and up...

:twofinger This is me. This is my bike. This is my old bike. This is what happened to my old bike that caused me to get a new bike. This is my wife. This is my wife’s bike. This is how my wife and I spend quality time together. This is where we live right now. This is...
