So I've been unsure of the answer to this for a while, but it's something I'd like to figure out for sure since it's something I deal with every time I leave my house. My residential street is a two lane road with one lane in each direction. Say, if I am leaving for work, I make a right onto the...

My mother-in-law was in a car accident last week, and while she's okay, the van is a total loss. However, she only had liability insurance on it and she was found at fault. Luckily the van is paid off but the damage is pretty severe, including a caved in front passenger door and very likely...

GONE: Like-new Queen Size Box Spring We're clearing out a guest room to turn into my daughter's room now that she's ready to get out of the crib, and we have no use for the queen bed that had been in there. We found a taker for the mattress, but they didn't need thee box spring. The thing was...

I plan on purchasing a Crown Victoria of the Police Interceptor variety in the near future. I'll use it for Warriors' Watch rides when I can't ride the bike (if I do end up keeping it) specifically when we move the Huey or do a funeral escort. I want a big car with lots of room and power for not...

So, as much as I have enjoyed riding the past 4 years or so, I’m thinking it might be time for me to call it a day in regards to riding, at least temporarily. My wife and I just found out last week that she’s expecting, and the prospect of having not one but two kids counting on me to make it...

Say what you will about ol' Snowcat, but he's spot on in this one. As he says in the vid, he rarely posts other people's videos but this one is a doosey. 29e9jzg_VCI It was actually hard to watch. Nothing happened and she assaulted the guy's car...then got mad when he reacted to her assault...

Just wanted to share a couple of clips from my commute home tonight. Nothing major, mostly just a PSA to any new splitters on what, IMO, not to do. First guy should be obvious. After I moved over for him he grabbed about three handfuls of throttle. His delta was pretty ridiculous. It's hard to...

Wanted to share something I experienced on Halloween. My wife and I took our daughter to my parents' house in Oakley for her first trick or treating experience. Their neighborhood always seems to have more houses participating than ours and generally feels a bit safer. Trick or treating went...

I don't claim to be a super experienced rider by any means but I wouldn't call myself a n00b either. In a few months I'll have been riding for 4 years and that time has included a fair amount of lane splitting. I like to think I've honed my spidey senses pretty well when it comes to gaps, lane...

...probably not a great idea. You were headed south down North Main in Walnut Creek, stopped at the Treat/Geary intersection. Silver sport bike, silver/white helmet with I think either a camera or a comm system on it. I almost didn't even see you in the sea of headlights, but once I did I...

So it's safe to say I have become known around these parts for posting videos. And those videos haven't always gone over so well, mainly due to me making a bigger deal out of things than I needed to. I have to admit that the criticism I received over those videos not only made me a better rider...

I had upgraded my standard hard drive a few months ago to a solid state. I wanted the faster start up times and quicker read speeds of the SSD. I figured 240GB would be enough, but I have started to work from home a few times a week and the file sizes quickly ate up that space. I went for a...

Posting this for a friend. I was actually interested in the car and test drove it, but at 6'3" my head hit the ceiling. Other than that, it's in good shape with the only issues I saw being the paint and an antennae that doesn't go down anymore (which is apparently an easy fix). Car is located in...

Wife and I were heading to the Giants game tonight and as we got closer the parking lot on the pier by Red's Java House we started seeing PD and fire approach. Looked like a male rider, looked like wearing just a white T-shirt and jeans, red sport bike with fairing. Rider was on the ground...

Well, I made it almost 5 years of owning a bike before experiencing the dreaded electrical problems. I rode to work on Monday and she fired up just fine that morning, no issues whatsoever. 8 hours later I go to leave work...and she won't start. My headlight came on, but my running and tail...
