Is this illegal on a motorcycle, ie the ones like the cyclists use? I bought a new moto backpack today and this thought crossed my mind. These LED lights now are very conspicuous. And what about the non-flashing ones, just a red light?

What ever happened to the big motorcycle show that used to be in San Mateo every fall? Although this show hasn’t been around the last few years and often people found something not to like about the show, I always enjoyed it and it seemed to be very well attended. We have what, like 10...

Hi folks, I know this may be a long shot, but I’m looking for motorcycle parking in Noe Valley/Upper Market/Twin Peaks. I live near 22nd/Hoffman so looking for something somewhat close (within 10-15 min walk) but it will be for a second motorcycle so I won’t necessarily need daily access...

Hi folks, I have the Helite Turtle Airbag vest and the velcro flap thingy at the top is driving me nuts. It is chewing up my helmet and the side of my neck. Can I remove all the velcro and does anyone know what purpose this flap serves. I can't figure it out. Was thinking about having a...

Hey folks, I may be in the market for a new/late model used bike this year and noticed that Eagle Rider offers a "Million Mile Warranty" on it's used bikes for sale. My previous bike was bought from a rental shop, I got a great price on it and it's been super reliable. My cost of ownership...

Hey folks, the Twinmax sync tool I have had for many years has broken on me and I need to get a new tool for syncing the throttle bodies on my 2008 BMW R1200GS. Any suggestions on what is best these days? I could go ahead and get another Twinmax, but I am wondering if there is something better...

I commute SF to Oakland everyday rain or shine and have for years, but I think that today's ride home was one of the scariest I have had. Rain and high winds on the Bay Bridge and the brutal south wind direction hitting the suspension cables on the SF side of the bridge causing the wind to act...
