I really like the looks of the Aprilia RS660. What are peoples' thoughts on Aprilia's reliability? I've read everything from "rock solid" to "it's Italian, you expect issues." Are they somewhere in the middle? Does anyone have any personal experiences (positive or negative) to share? With my...

Did someone lose a top case today? There was one (white and black) lying on the side of the Summit Road just under 1/2 mile west of Summit Store around 4pm this afternoon. I couldn’t stop to pick it up because I had no place to put it.

Is it just me (I have a 7 silver) or does GoPro software just simply suck? I have an iPhone, and it takes somewhere between three and five tries to get the phone and the camera to connect. Once connected, most things fail (e.g. formatting the SD card) at least one time before they work. Is it...

I was heading northwest, sitting at a light on Almaden Expressway (here) the other day when a BMW (also heading northwest) came up to the light in the right lane, "made a right turn" onto Camden Ave and then proceeded straight across Camden and then back through Camden's Ave right turn lane onto...

Up until a week or two back, I was watching MotoGP using the app on an iPad and streaming it to a chromecast. After, I think, an app update, streaming no longer worked from the app - when I start a video and click on the "stream it to chromecast" icon, a small window appears in the middle of...

Is there an easy way to check to see if a car is stolen? One has been parked in front of my house for nearly a week now without moving (cars aren't usually parked here for more than a day or two), and I wonder if it's been dumped here, or the owner is visiting neighbors or what? Thanks

I saw a green/white Ninja on 85N just south of the Union Ave exit (I couldn't read the license plate, sorry), standing upright on the left shoulder. Did you lose it?

The pipes were as loud as the colors..

Does anyone know what FZ-07s are going for in the Bay Area?

There was a dog running along the shoulder of 85 south a little north of Almaden Expressway on Friday morning (5/29) around 9:00. It was on the incident report web page, but there was no resolution before it scrolled off. Does anyone know if the dog was ok?

Can anyone recommend under armor for women? My wife wears leather when she rides, but none of it has any sort of armor; she's looking for something she can wear underneath. I've found Bohn and Forcefield (it's not clear that they have anything for women though?). Are there others? Thanks

I was at San Jose Yamaha this afternoon - they have three FZ-09's on the floor, one of each color. In case anyone's in the market.

My wife and I are planning a road trip next weekend. We're heading from San Jose to Sausalito on Sunday, and then on to Sonoma on Monday. Can anyone suggest some nice scenic routes? For the SJ to Sausalito, we were thinking about taking either Skyline all the way (pulling over frequently to...

Does anyone know anything about Kabuto helmets? I was at San Jose Yamaha this afternoon and tried one on - it felt great. It was $200 less than a Shoei, so I wondered if it was any good :) Thanks

To the rider behind me on 17N at the Camden Ave exit, can I just say - wow!! I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a wheelie in traffic on an exit ramp. You rock dude. Sure, you only got up a foot or so, and only rode it out for a few feet, but how many people have the skill to do it at all...
