Splitting down 101 today, HOV was moving slow (~15mph), regular lanes were stop-n-go. Up ahead I see red and blue, and as I get closer I see it's a police SUV driving in the HOV lane. No siren, no one pulling over, he's just cruising along in traffic. I split up to him and sit there for about 20...

The north bit, anyways, from county line to the road closure gate. Can't tell how far beyond the gate it continues. Must have been done pretty recently, there are barely even any leaves in it. Not chip seal, either -- we're talking real, smooth, sweet asphalt. Fucking GLORIOUS. Santa Clara...

Our SuMo, which art in my garage, Brappy be thy pipe. Thy wheelies come And rear-end slides be done On streets, as they are on race tracks. Give us this day our daily hoon And forgive our rude passes As we forgive those who don't yield to faster traffic And lead us not into citations But deliver...

Posting a new thread so as not to hijack the original... I've seen this tidbit about blacklisted out-of-state bikes mentioned before, but never with any first hand experience. I'm wondering if it's a boogeyman story, or if it actually exists. So... Does anyone here have any actual, first hand...

The provisional results for the 300WSS race this weekend showed me as 6th of 10, but in the official results I show a DNF. I suspect this is because I didn't finish my last lap. On lap 6 I was expecting the white flag, but I got the checkered instead - and yes, I did a double-take heading into...

While waiting on a response to my email'd question, figured I'd ask here as well... I raced AFM as a novice in 2013-2014. It's been long enough that, per the rulebook, I need to re-take the NRS before racing again. Can I sign up for the NRS special at Sonoma in September, or is that limited to...

Some like rides with friends Sun warm, roads dry - I do to! - and yet... Sometimes my most delightful rides Quiet, most enchanting rides The "this is why I ride these" rides Are lonesome, cold, and wet

All are first come, first served, pick up any time in East San Jose. So, uhm... no one wants an eyewash station? Emergency Eyewash Station for when bleeding your brakes goes terribly fucking wrong GONE 2nd Gen Yamaha FZ1 front fender, silver, clearly has done some miles but no cracks or...

From the work moto email list. Too good not to share... :rofl:rofl:rofl

...and it was recovered by a tow truck and flatbed... 1) hope you're ok! 2) could you do us all favor and call up the tow company, and kindly remind those fucktards that it's a two-way street? As a favor to all of us... First guy was halfway over the DY through a blind corner. Close enough...

2 miles from the Junction, on the fast part of San Antonio, see something whizz in front of me, impact at my collar, and SEARING pain at my throat. FUCK. OW. Concentrate. Get to the Junction and I can stop. Check my breathing-still OK. Stop immediately if I feel my throat tightening. Think it's...

Victoria and I were out at a private trackday at Thunderhill on Monday, riding 2-up on a FLAP Ninja 300. It’s been 2 years since we last got some track time in together, and were both excited to get back out and turn some laps. We had a great time through the morning, but after lunch, we got...

CB500F, less than 10k miles, 95% commuting, occasional twisties, one trackday. I thought I heard something funny on the Calaveras ride last night... Sure enough, front pads are DONE. I've never burned through a set anywhere near that fast before, especially not on a primary commuter. Sign of...

Or, if you don't have pipes, speakers, or some other noise-generating device. Sigh. https://www.nhtsa.gov/About-NHTSA/Press-Releases/nhtsa_quiet_car_final_rule_11142016 "We all depend on our senses to alert us to possible danger. With more, quieter hybrid and electrical cars on the road, the...

Turns out that a wetsuit makes a great warm layer under a riding suit! Comfy as could be up and over Page Mill, Alpine, 84, to HMB. Surf was a bit messy but totally worth the ride. Caught some pretty nice ones and stayed out till I was pooped, came in, feasted on fresh-caught crab courtesy of my...

I figure this might generate enough interest/discussion to warrant it's own thread, rather than piggybacking onto one of the existing SpaceX threads. Tomorrow, at the International Aeronautical Congress, Elon is going to present the plans for the Mars rocket (informally the 'BFR' - decoding...
