    The AMA.

    I'm not an AMA member anymore. I let my membership lapse a few years back (almost 8 or 9 now), and never considered renewing. Here's the reason: I think the AMA's stance on helmet laws is endangering riders lives. If they put the amount of effort in to pushing for lane sharing rights that they...

    STOLEN BIKE: 2012 Aprilia Tuono V4R APRC

    EDIT Sept 15, 2012: Got a call from SFPD today, bike was found by SFPD, and is now at Pier 70. No idea of the condition. Just a heads up. Last night, I had my Tuono stolen from in front of my place at 20th and Pennsylvania Street in San Francisco. The bike already had 3800 miles on it, and...

    Thank you, Z2.

    Just wanted to thank the Z2 crew for this weekend. It was hot, dusty, scorched by the sun, and a bunch of fun. To the C group riders, both Saturday and Sunday: Sorry, I'm slow. It happens, y'know? First time on a new (to me) bike, at an unfamiliar location, with an unfamiliar environment. I'm...

    Factory Pro Tuning.

    I'm hauling the Falco up to Factory Pro next week, dropping it off while I'm at Buttonwillow. Anyone have any info on them? Outside of John D, I don't know anyone else who's gone and had a full system tune done by them. I've heard nothing but good things about their Aprilia chips, but since the...

    To the Triumph Speed 4 rider near Stinson Beach today.

    Sorry guy, I was riding my usual pace and didn't mean to nearly get you hurt/killed while doing it. I was going to haul you past mill valley and get you up near Lucas Valley road, but kind of ran out of time. Anyhow, it was fun to have someone tagging along while I hit up a few of my usual roads.

    Frustration and Loathing in the New Italian Frontier

    2001 Aprilia Falco, minor mods. The problem I've been seeing (and not gone over with anyone until now) is what looks and feels like a short. Sometimes (even if the engine is warm) the bike will "rough start." It feels like the throttle boddies are flooded, although there's no gas smell...

    Frame salvage/recycling.

    I'm going to have an empty frame that will need to be destroyed or otherwise stricken from the DMV records in the near future. Rumour has it that only a licensed salvager can do this. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

    Small parking accident on Hawthorne Ave this afternoon.

    Not sure exactly what happened, didn't ask, just took some camera phone photos. If you need them, please PM me. For those who want to know, some guy backed his truck up and over several parked bikes and a scooter on up at Hawthorne and Folsom.

    Pt Reyes Brunch, June 4. Buffalo Bakery.

    I think Sunday the 4th should be a nice day to head up to Pt Reyes Station in the AM, and have brunch/breakfast at the Buffalo Bakery there. Meeting time, at Buffalo Bakery (on the main drag, in Pt Reyes Station) would be 10:30/11, AM. Pt Reyes is a straight shot up highway 1. This is your...

    Already tried the Moto Parts forum..

    ... but was told to try here anyway, just in case. Mods, knock the thread or destroy it if it's not appropriate. Anyhow, I'm hunting for 99-02 YZF-R6 parts. I figure people may have some laying around or just taking up space. You never know. I just picked up a subframe, so that's not my list...
