Sorry, no pictures. They didn't even have a battery in it, so I didn't bother. I saw the 2015 today at The Motor Cafe. The Ducati Tour was there showing off the 1299 Panigale, Scrambler and the next generation Multistrada. I got there about 11am and hung out for a good 2 hours. These are...

I stocked up on tires a couple years ago and over-estimated my need. I'd like to see these tires get some use and I don't see needing them in the next 12 months. My screw up is your gain... Metzeler Karoos: $110 for the pair take offs (26 miles on them) 90/90x21 (DOT 2409) and 140/80x18...

There's a mostly useless box on street legal bikes that contains charcoal and has a few hoses attached. One vents to air, one goes to the gas cap or tank and any others to various places depending on the design. This is intended to catch and filter gas when the bike is tipped over as well as...

Well, sorta. Piece of crap pinch bolt on the forks broke off with hardly any torque, so I gotta get replacements and drill it out. I still plan on running it in dual sport mode sometimes, but for now, this is the default configuration.

I have a truck that is registered PNO. The tags on the plate are from 2000. The vehicle was running when parked way back when, but probably needs a serious soaking of the carb in a bucket of gas to get running again. Anyways... I live in a private community. There is a posted sign about...

No I am not M4M. (grow up, kids) I was northbound on 280 this morning, just after coming off 87 north and weaving through the slowbies and psychos to get in a safe position on the road. I did noticed you in my blind spot and looked over. Instead of lighting me up for doing 72 in a 65 (I've...

The weather is great and it's time to revive the concept of the CruiserRide™. CruiserRides™ are designed with the interests of cruiser riders in mind, but riders of all types of bikes are welcome. You won't even be asked to ride in back or to sweep! Just bear in mind that the pace is not...

We staged Pre ride briefing We ride Note the sign under the traffic light. Oh, I thought at THIS intersection pedestrians DIDN'T have right of way.... Goofing off at a traffic light

Growing up near the narrow canyon in which Uvas Dam is situated, we didn't get many channels on TV. In fact, we only got one. Channel 11, which was an ABC channel. So I watched a lot of ABC shows. Especially ABC's Wide World of Sports. What a great show and Jim McKay was a central figure in...

The Patriot Guard Riders ride for returning soldiers in both Welcome Home and Fallen Soldier missions. Seeing how poorly we treated returning Vietnam vets, I didn't want to see that happen for the Iraq War vets, so I participate in these rides when I can. Most of the PGR folk are older guys...

UPDATE: The smoke is even that high. Ride Cancelled. All this smoke is giving me a headache. As much as I hate the dips and bumps on Mt. Ham, it seems the best way to get a breath of fresh air. Meet: Starbucks at San Felipe and Yerba Buena Time: 5:15 KSU: 5:30 Route: Quimby, Mt...

I rode today with friends both old and new winding through the hills under a sky of blue I rode today and passed by memories of Troy and I reached out with my left hand and gave a wave to the boy I rode today, starting out from STP down Tunitas to the highway and yet another scene I rode today...

Yana squashes hooliganism at the pre-ride briefing. We headed up and down the front side of 9 Then down Redwood and Stevens Creek Canyon Then it was off to the Coffee Society in Cupertino Riders waited in line for their caffeine fix

A few months ago I decided that while there are tons of rides focused on sport riders that few seem to exist among the forums in this area that are focused on cruiser riders. Sure, there are your Harley groups (HOG chapters) and they do their thing. But there are metric riders and even many...

A week ago, I went on a 5 day ride with a large group to Death Valley. Over the course of the trip, I logged nearly 1500 miles and took 685 pictures. This is the same trip I went on last year, only it didn't rain as we were leaving, so there are no river crossings. This year I took the beemer...
