    Anyone have leathers my wife can rent?

    She wants to do her first track day but doesn't want to invest big money until she's sure it'll become a regular thing. 1 piece or two piece okay, women's fit preferred but not necessary. We're thinking Thunderhill October 17-18, so meeting there would be cool or we can pick them up and return...

    The Dumbest Thing You Ever Did Before Riding

    Maybe mine is pretty tame but it was memorable. Maybe not even dumb, but questionable. I went to the theater in Oakland alone and watched Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. Something about watching the Batcycle scenes, all that dramatic cinematic music, and then walking to my Mille R afterwards...

    Negative acceleration downhill

    Alright... Last week I rented a quad to get around this little town in Costa Rica where I work a few months out of the year. The quad owner was giving me a ride, and, when going downhill, UPshifted and told me when I rode his quad to do the same and use the brakes to slow the quad down...

    rent-a-leathers

    Hi gang, Part of being a trackday junkie is telling other bikers about it, right? So I always end up with a few curious buddies who would love to try it out. But so far I've had ZERO luck finding leathers for rent, and none of said buddies feel like forking out $400-1500 to buy gear for...

    Which dual sport?

    Hi all, I love quick bikes, but up here in Sonoma County our roads are nasty to say the least. My Aprilia Mille R is a blast on Highway 1 or Skaggs Springs, but getting there is punishing thru the backroads. The Street Triple is more comfy ergonomically, but still too stiff to comfortably...
