    WTB 99-00 F4 Race/track tail.

    I just bought a new (to me) track bike. The bike was complete but due to my own stupidity I didn't bolt the tail fairing down or take it off on the 60 mile drive home and it blew off somewhere along the way. This is a track only bike and I really would rather not put the street tail back on it...

    "Example of how to handle being pulled over"

    I just kind of wanted to toss this in there. I know that some of the LEOs here don't give breaks and so on and so forth and I totally understand why. But I wanted to toss this out there just because... well, I thought I should. This morning I was heading to work going down 80 passing through...

    Where's your ....global warming is a myth comments now?

    global warming is a myth comments now? :rolleyes So many people were talking about how it's a myth with all the snow we had on the ground in areas that has never seen snow in living memory. But here it is in January and it's as high as 75 degrees in some places. I wonder what's changing the...

    Rev'it Infinity!

    Rev'it finally released their inifinity riding suit. While I wasn't QUITE prepared financially to buy it, it was $200 cheaper if you buy before Jan1 so I jumped on it. It came in today and I'm REALLY impressed with it. It's slightly lighter than "the stitch" but I can't tell you any other...

    My first run at Infineon...

    WAS FABULOUS! I've heard tell that it's a great technical track and... yup. FABULOUS! Since it was my first time on that track I joined up as Novice, so I was pretty constricted all day long, but that's fine. I got a feel for the track. Since it was a Buell sponsored event I even got to...

    Weight bench and weights - FREE!!!

    I've got a Weider Pro (Sears) weight bench and about 200lbs worth of weights that I need to get out of my house. I also have some smaller dumbbells for single arm workouts as well. I bought an extra bar with it as well. I don't need it anymore as I have access to a bowflex and I could use the...

    Possible partnership needed

    Ok, long story short, I used to own a repair shop but I've closed it down. I started sending my clients to a new tech that I spent weeks looking for. It's SO hard to find a good AND honest tech these days. Anyway, seems he wasn't so honest. I still believe he's doing good work, there's other...

    How do I handle this? (Lanesharing Hit and Run)

    Ok, I was coming across the bay bridge and it slowed down to 20mph so I started lane sharing. I came up on a car and a truck that were kind of close together so I held back for a second. The car in the #1 lane moved over a little so I proceeded to go through. Right as I got beside the car it...

    Akuma Specter first thoughts

    About a week ago some jackass apparently didn't like the sticker on the side of my helmet. Yes, it was one of those kick ass sticker's Mike makes. "Fuck your clean air...." Anyway, wandered into a store to grab a couple of things and it was laying on the ground. Inside padding completely...

    Busting a lane position myth

    As we all know everyone has their opinion on what side of the lane they should be in during rush hour traffic. Some say they can get more visibility on the right, some say they have more room for escape on the left. I'm a lefty kind of guy myself. What I'm about to tell you is how my lefty...

    So disappointed in shops these days

    It wasn't too long ago my KLR started dumping a lot of oil and making a god awful racket while running. I took it to XXX dealership and asked them to have a look at it and tell me what's wrong so I could decide how to proceed. I was informed that most likely it was piston skirt or cam bearing...

    Turn signals don't mean anything?! WTFO?

    Today during my commute it was actually rather uneventful and I was thinking "wow, nice day for a bit of a ride". No real traffic to speak of other than a few vehicles that needed SMV signs that I could swing out of the commuter lane and back in without even having to share to get around them...

    KLR go BANG!

    Ok, so not really BANG but it went knock knock knock... 6 freeway miles. Then blew a seal and dumped all the oil. I parked it at one of my stops and waited for a ride to show up. THEN turned around and rode it another mile to the Kawi dealer. So while I'm down one bike right now with a...

    Open Letter to DMG

    I took the time to type up an open letter last night that I intend on making sure that DMG gets to see it. It's about the AMA changes they are offering up for next year. Anyway, I'm asking for input and changes to see what you have to say about it. Maybe even attaching a petition to the open...

    SF Parking "regs" SUCK!

    Today was my first day commuting into the city. I have a colo on main street which is actually pretty close to where I was working. So I figured I would just park where I usually do when I go there which is just a block up and one over. Unfortunately I parked in a 4pm-7pm tow away zone. Of...

    Geico MC can suck my wang!

    I've been a small business owner for 4 years now and worked in small business for 8. I say this to qualify what I'm about to say with some background experience. As a small business owner, I've become rather picky on the places I will do business with. I know what customer service is and I...

    Things people say

    We've all probably heard the comedy skits talking about stupid people. After all there's only a million of them. But sometimes in day to day routine we hear some REALLY stupid things. So let's hear some of the weirdest, stupid, dumbest things you've heard. I'll start off.... Me: "You left...

    Crash vid for illustration purposes

    I'm chatting with a friend of mine back home that seems to think that talking on a cell phone isn't a problem. Of course traffic in IN is much lighter than here but that's beside the point. Anyway, I THINK there was a video someone posted here about 5 or 6 months ago that was one of those...
