It's been too long since I've gotten out onto the back trails of the Santa Cruz hills. Anyone want to join me for a hundred miles of the best shitty little roads they have to offer? Expect potholes, gravel, bumps, whoops, 1st gear turns, blind corners, cars on your side of the road, and a...

It's been 2 months and 2,500 miles since I picked up a 2015 Honda CB500F as a daily commuter for my 60-mile, primarily freeway-splitting roundtrip across San Jose. Prior to that, I was commuting on a Ducati Multistrada 1200S, which eats tires like they're candy, gets 30mpg, is 38" wide, and has...

Yes, I remember you licence plate, since you so politely presented it within a few feet of my face multiple times this morning. Dude, you split like ass. I waved you by when you came up on my tail during a free-flowing section of the commute and you were going a bit faster than I. When...

Thinking about taking my 2-year old daughter down for the day so she can see all the motorcycles. Anyone have an extra Saturday ticket for sale? :ride

It's about time we have one of these get-togethers for the South Bay! Join us at a great local deli/hot-food counter run by a couple of fellow riders - Antipastos, 3454 McKee Rd in San Jose. Meet is at 6:30PM; the food line closes at 7:00 - if you want food, please be in line before then! If...

Weather forecasts for Boulder Creek and La Honda are for highs in the mid-50s, 90% chance of rain, 0% chance of squids and posers. Anyone want to go slip-n-slide? Thinking leave the Saratoga 76 at 10am, 9-Jameson-Bonny Doon-Swanton-Gazos-Pescadero-84, warm up at Alices, maybe 84-alpine-35-9 on...

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/space/go-for-launch/os-spacex-engine-testing-sunday-launch-20151218-post.html This will be SpaceX's first launch since a losing a rocket back in June. They have previously attempted a few 1st-stage landings on drone ships out at sea, and have always been on...

Taken from kind of far away so it's hard to see that much detail, though. http://www.hayabusa2.jaxa.jp/topics/20151127_02/

Caging it today (barf) in heavy traffic, and was passed by a rider doing probably about +20, nothing crazy, except he was cruising along with his left hand on his hip. Don't think I've ever even considered that - sure, occasionally I'll take hand off the bar for a quick moment to wipe my nose...

Purchased this ticket from jiker a few months back. As it turns out, we would not be doing a two-up day, but more like a 2.5-up day... and preggers wifey won't fit into her leathers anyways. So, back up for sale! $200 Currently registered in B+ but can be switched

Just passed a yellow tarp on 880S just past Dixon Landing. Couldn't tell the bike. RIP rider. Then a few miles on there was a big rig blocking all lanes of 880 before Brokaw. What a morning...

I know several police forces have added Zero MCs to their moto units, but I figured they'd all be used for urban/surface street enforcement. This morning I saw one with somebody pulled over on 280S just before 85... at least, I'm pretty sure it was a Zero. Kind of cool. Anyone know if CHP has...

Splitting heavy traffic on 280N through downtown San Jose, saw some lights in my mirrors near the Meridian exit. A short while later he was right up behind me, so I found a small space in traffic and moved over a bit, waving him (and a second bike that was following) past, and tucking back in...

I know somebody has to have the story behind this... :wow

So, I'm dumb, and figured I wouldn't need my heated gear until next winter, so I neglected to go ahead and buy an adapter to get from the Powerlet outlets on my bike to the coax connector on my heated gear. Now I really am going to want my heated gear this weekend, and I can't find anywhere...

The thread on e-bikes over in General reminded me of a great piece written by some Swedes from Tesla Club Sweden. It's been translated to English, so there are some quirky phrasings, but the point still comes across well... http://teslaclubsweden.se/test-drive-of-a-petrol-car/

(C = cage; I was going to put 'T' for truck, but figured y'all would interpret that all sorts of wrong) Me: pretty drunk and relaxed in the passenger seat after a bunch of wine and noms, being chaffeured home by wifey through that last windy bit of 9 towards Saratoga You: yellow sportbike (mid...
