    Morgan rd: Ducati 1199 with "Multistrada" like suspension settings...

    Can a Panigale go fast, without using the whole road, but hugging the right, feeling composed and not throwing the rider out on tight hairpins going downhill? I don't even have to pull in the clutch on these hairpins...so smooth the bike was, I was just rolling the throttle up and not going...

    Ducati 1199 with 190/55 messes up TC a bit

    Road wasn't very wet, but it was somewhat slick. Sometimes light rain is worse than full on deluge, in that it brings the oils up or just coats the surface under the tree shades. But this was just wet. Traction Control set on 6 thought it was worse than it really was. Why? well, this is a...

    Berryessa Knoxville Rd horrible conditions May 2015

    So I was told Mines Rd. was dirty and also told that a Berryessa loop was outstanding. Well. Not quite. Lots of fun roads all around..EXCEPT for the ones by the lake itself. construction zone at Berryessa Knoxville Rd. I thought I had found 12 or 16 gravel patches...but WTF. It's a lot more...

    Cheap adventure bike, not for long distances?

    Hello all, I'd like to start with ideas for a cheap adventure bike. Just local back unpaved roads, flat dirt - but that takes some highway time to get there. No overnight trips planned, so I'm not looking for cases and storage necessarily. I take my touring bike with lots of those heavy...

    Classified's "FIRM" prices, LOL

    Aren't they kind of funny, in the way they're all obviously overpriced? :twofinger My price is FIRM, means, "I'm trying to waste some time to see if I can get away with this obviously inflated price with little effort." :afm199 Would love to hear exceptions to rule. :ride

    Ducati Scrambler in action

    Here's the video: M0AmtvH0l7s Hope you enjoy watching it. Since I had a chest mount GoPro, after 3:43 I started riding it. Thanks to my friend, for the opportunity to ride his brand new toy! I'm not gonna go into the looks discussion. I like it, especially the yellow. I was lucky to have a...

    Bike on crosswalks or pedestrian pathways while dismounted

    Hello all, I have a question for you. Is the situation depicted in the picture legal? It may be just advertising shoot, but this is something I'd like to know if I could be cited doing something like this, say, on Market St. or wherever else is pedestrian only walkways. Also, I also ask if...

    GoPro with Virb application.

    Following the direction of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzGBJd8lJnI I did this. I'm using the iMove app (which only shows speed/distance/time/altitude, gps stuff - ignoring the smart phone accelerometer altoghether), but I emailed the guys at at EatSleepRide mobile app and they...

    Advice: single lane split done right?

    So this is me, new rider in the bay area (been riding here since March this year), I've done splitting in 3 other countries, so I'm not looking for arguments pro or contra lane splitting in general. I'm just talking about why we don't see many single lane splitting here, and if this one...

    1199 at the Marin Headland batteries

    This is a cool spot for pics. And videos. I'll definitely come back for more footage and angles. Plus a silly video in a slippery tunnel: :laughing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoSTQkp1_Kc&list=UUzgNrcwbtpiBVSyaTRZjRDg

    Testing DVR camera under front fairing

    I like it. With the remote microphone out of the wind's way, it seems to capture better the raw sound of the bike (esp. compared to the GoPro sound). http://youtu.be/4pKNBJZfK_k 4pKNBJZfK_k Camera is the Innov C3, best feature is that it will be always on with the bike. Won't miss a thing...

    K16GT fun

    Nothing much, but trying to keep up with a Panigale, Diavel and a Hypermotard. It did good a that, despite the rider. I just think this bike is great, given all it can do. 6 cylinder fun, I should say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ugYnHxKkQ c3ugYnHxKkQ :teeth

    K1600GT in a confy, but spirited pace

    Nothing much, just good fun. So there you go. wl4YnbUlb7Q This was on Pinehurst rd final stretch, turn back around back on it all the way to the end of Redwood rd where I found a cop who just ignored me. I was actually listening to classical music during the ride, not this one but this one...

    Cop saved me today

    Cop saved me today. Installed my Valentine V1 on my 1199. Working great, but let's see if it can see the Ka band through my body. Where are there cops? Alice? Too far. Let's try the 25mph limit Redwood rd, heard there's always cops out there. Found two. One was at the entrance of Redwood...

    Is that okay to show super speeds in a video

    By that I mean way above the speed limits (above 100mph) in the middle of nowhere of course? No accidents, just plain group ride fun? I'm thinking of posting one, but if it's wise not to just in case, okay. I don't want trouble for anyone involved, including me, nor want to embarrass our...

    Lunch break fix: 599 Hornet to Mt. Diablo

    Nothing fancy, apart from the jerky throttle response, wooden brakes and my dumb mistakes when down shifting - that's the chirping sound you hear about 3 times, twice going downhill. d9fl-cZBV0E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9fl-cZBV0E It's 15min up until the paying post (I don't want to...
