I know a few people here have ridden Baja. Would anyone here have specific concerns about riding down Baja, not a dirt trip, just taking the hiway down? Some friends were concerned that it wouldn't be safe because bandits. I am thinking of spending a few days over Thanksgiving riding down to La...

I saw a pretty tight split this morning on Hwy 80, where a lady in a Fiat 500 merged into a blue sumo splitting ahead of me. Bike got sideswiped, but managed to stay on his wheels, as the Fiat merged from lane 2 to lane 1, straight into the bike. I was really impressed with the riders ability to...

https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Road-rage-in-SF-Woman-in-SUV-rams-swerves-at-13141661.php Be careful out there ! I'm surprised that nobody read her license plate, so she could be aquatinted with our legal system and privately run incarceration facilities. /Soren

Solid standstill from the toll plaza to the middle of the west span. Looked like a Ducati scrambler in lane 4. Does anybody know if the rider made it? /Soren

I saw a bike being loaded on a tow truck with only a police cruiser and the tow truck operator present on San Pable Dam rd this morning. I couldn't help wondering where the rider was - is he/she ok? Was this enforcement or an accident? /Soren

Going through some gear choices for a co-worker at Scuderia today, I was struck by a very tricked out KTM 690, and looked it up on their FB page: http://www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/ultimate-ktm-690-enduro-build/ In light of the recent discussions newer, lighter, and more versatile enduro bikes...

I wear a size US 15, so I have very limited selection of boots, and there are many boots that makes me drool, but I will never be able to have. This has limited me to Sidi boots, where their street boots are available in size 15, but I had to parallel import the Adventure GoreTex boot, because...

You have to be brave and confident to build an interpretation of the Kawasaki H2 - in my, not so humble, opinion; the Wrenchmonkees did a great job: https://youtu.be/eR79ToF0ssI Enjoy, /Soren

I commute on Hwy 80 and the Bay Bridge every day, and I make sure that I am not the fastest splitter on the road (I'll check my mirrors and let anyone faster pass). I will often hang on, when Linda Lanesplitter or Tyrone Trailbreaker are rev-bombing or using their Loud Pipes (tm) to split the...

My girlfriend has been looking for a new bike for a while, and it seem that the new Ducati Monster 1200 is high on the list. I know that I will be doing the maintenance, but I have no experience with the new Ducati engines, but 18k mi valve interval etc. makes them look like reliable, modern...

:rolleyes On 880 heading north, in the dark and the rain, but the guy didn't give me much reaction time, when he side-swiped me, as he changed from the HOV lane into my space. I didn't get pushed under the truck to the right of me, or hit by the car behind me, guess I still have some sand in my...

After four years of trying to get a license plate for my bike, I finally have one :teeth :thumbup :ride It's been a long road, and I am not sure how I feel about riding around with a visible id tag on the back of my bike - I feel like my anonymity has gone away :cool Anyway, I gave up...

Wishing everyone a nice Veterans Day. And for those of you who served, I thank you. /Soren

Saw this one today - I know its a small bike, but still first of the green light.

My evening commute: Honeydew Bridge: /Soren

I grew up with race bikes, motocross bikes, race tracks and ambulances ... I wasn't riding for a number of years, but got back into it, thanks to some wonderful friends who reminded me what it feels like. I have been lurking on this site for a few years, and decided to join. I'm and old ATGATT...
