Does anyone here do day trips to Dodge Ridge for a quick and dirty board session? I didn't even make it up for one day last year due to the crappy conditions... Dodge is on the small side, but you can get there in 2'45" on a dry road. Not too bad..... the drive home sucks, but hey, you not...

I'd like to try Metcalf, but only have a sportbike. I've been dirt biking once on a small bike at Hollister about 5 years ago. Anyone know of a place to rent a bike? I don't have moto gear either, a road textile jacket may work??? I have a chest armour and ankle boots that should be OK for...

Looking at my property tax history and it is going up quite faster than before... I don't even have a 'large' home, it is on the smaller size based on square footage, in Cambrian area of SJ. From 2013 to 2015, it went up over 1k... Anyone else notice? It's going up way faster than my...

Hello (again), I posted over a month ago, but the threads here apparently do not last too long... I passed the MSF class, and just took and passed the written test today for my M1. I do not have a bike and plan on getting a used one next year after X-mas, tax season, property tax...

Planning on getting a bike in a few months, maybe 2015? Looking at an FZ-07 at this time. I've road Mtb's for a few decades (3) and started on the road bike about 3 years ago. While I am new to motorcycles, I'm not new to the concepts of turning on 2 wheels...(Apex, countersteering, entry...
