Dude. (M4M) Were you transporting organ transplants or something? Damn man, I feared for your safety. I dont think that cool looking button down shirt and jeans will help much in a crash. Smooth fast riding but that 30+ delta is sketchy. Take it easy, keep it rubber side down.

Just swapped out my alexi pants for the second time today at CG. Brand new tags still on 'em. Retail price of $149. I will let them go for...whatever. lifetime warranty may or may not go with them. Nice thing about these is the the two separate layers, one for wet and one for warmth. You...

Should I? If so, recommendations? History of the bike: It was a friend's street bike then track bike, then my wife's track bike. It's been crashed a few times, street and track plastics are in bad shape. It's been welded back together (the left rearset). Right now the street plastics are...

My wife drove by a bad looking accident on her way to SF this morning. Rider was laid out on their back unmoving, she couldn't recognize the bike. Anybody know the status? Hope the rider is ok.

Hey barfers. I'm in the market for some commuting boots. Waterproof and solid (and not big money). I've looked at a few and find them appallingly lacking in what I consider a safe structure. I might as well wear cowboy boots...or a pair of socks with a grippy pad. My favorite boots so far...

Riding the beat up crashed track/street CBR today, splitting/weaving at 70ish... Bright bike lights in my mirror, I pull left to give room and instead of flying by he creeps up to my right, I look and realize it is an officer...so I roll off throttle a bit and see what's up. He pulls up aside...

Posting for a friend for more interest. Very cool bike. I've ridden it, lots of torque, nice and loud, head turning bike. CL ad: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/4608305373.html For Sale one of a Kind Cafe Racer. Its started out as a Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 XL. Has been customized...

Just curious if this is a normal practice from time to time. Maybe a training exercise in traffic control? Single CHP Crown Vic, lights flashing, weaving from right shoulder to #1 lane, controlling following traffic to 35-40mph. I was thinking there was a hazardous condition ahead…but after...

Was riding in to work this morning at around 1030ish, 101SB, just after the 280 exit. Saw a bike come up behind me so I moved to the far left of the 1 lane. Didn't even realize it was an officer. I was moving along with traffic - which is to say I was definitely speeding along with traffic...

Damnit. Went to fiddle with the suspension settings a bit on the 2008 CBR600rr. Get everything how I want it for now until I get to the rebound on the shock. Guess what? The shock rebound adjuster turns and turns and turns... son of a!! Either this is a magical infinitely adjustable shock...

Picked up a new helmet this weekend, much needed to replace my aging RF1000. My requirements for a new helmet: good fitment, quiet, safe and reasonably priced. Commuting as primary function. I tried on AGV (various models), Arai Signet (I don't fit well in their other models) and Suomy...

Long time Texas resident, currently living in SF and working in Mountain View. I enjoy riding sport and dirt bikes - any bikes really but still gravitate towards these two types. Currently in the stable (all current are actually my beautiful Wife's!): 09 SVF650 Gladius 08 CBR600rr 07...
