6D helmets and Bell helmets have their respective mild force and rotational force shock absorbing systems. Anyone care to share their experience with the helmets with those features? Any issues with helmets with those features? Is there anyone else making helmets with similar systems? I...

I lived in southern California from 82 to 95. I rode all over the place: Angeles Crest Big Bear Palomar Mt San Jacinto Ortega Hwy And many more. I decided to take a week off and do some riding. On Monday, I rode from home, Merced, to Porterville. Nothing special there but nice to ride my...

I know this is a very long shot because Honda never imported the mid 80s CBX 750F to the US. That said I saw two many years ago in southern California with California plates so I know somebody brought them in probably as gray market bikes from Canada or something. Anyway thought I'd post up and...

I am looking for a bike that has little value in California due to overdue DMV fees. I will be moving the bike out of California. The bike must have a title, in your name. Bike does not have to be in perfect shape but the main parts need to be present and functional, unless you are willing...

I have a 250 ninja with aftermarket bodywork. I would prefer the OEM pieces. Anyone have any parts?

Is a very good movie about a very good racer that was held back from too many opportunities because he is black. I was a Willy T. Ribs fan in the 80s but did not know half of what the movie portrayed. Lots of good racing footage too.

The 5 spd transmission in one of our cars, the '06 Matrix, has died. It is a Toyota C59 transmission. I did some research and a replacement USED transmission is pretty expensive, $1200 or so just for the USED transmission, not a rebuilt, just used with 60-100k miles on it. I have read on the...

Have a friend that wrecked his GMC truck and only has liability insurance. He wants an estimate for the repairs to decide whether to repair it or not. He is in Morgan Hill.

I bought my home in 2016. Since it was built in 1981, I decided a home warranty was a good investment. So far it paid off pretty well in paying $3k for replacing one of the HVAC units and about $2k for replacing the well pump. Recently, the NEW Lennox HVAC unit that was installed in Sep 2016...

I need some advice from someone that knows how to write an app. The app will be in the form of a desktop client that interfaces with a website. There might also be a Android and Apple version of the app for mobile devices. In effect, I want an app that can access various parts of the website...

2-Wheel Safety Training just announced an IRC this Sunday, in South San Jose. The IRC will help you improve your riding confidence and capabilities by helping you be smoother on the controls, use your eyes more effectively, and improve your cornering technique. You can learn all these facets...

I spent last week learning how to teach the MSF Circuit RiderCourse (CRC). Then I taught the CRC to a class of students on Saturday. Summary: The CRC helps riders improve their riding skills whether they are relatively new or an advanced rider. Multiple trainers (coaches) observe students'...

MSF developed a new course for riders seeking more training than the basics. The new course is called the Circuit RiderCourse. The CRC was developed for military riders and now available for non-military riders. This is a course designed to be ridden between 30 and 65 mph on a closed course...

In my searching for a new 2-up bike to replace my R1200R, I happened on the CB1100 made since about 2011? Anyone have any experience with the CB1100?
