In the lower 48. Here's what they do in Alaska if they want to ride in the winter. They put these on Goldwings, Sporbikes, Harleys... Actually, we get a couple of good freezes every year up here in Oregon. I'm thinking of buying some spare wheels for my "wiinter bike"; a 1982 BMW...

Long, those with short attention spans can skip to the end. I've been riding since 1969. Back in those days, motorcycle "beginning rider training" consisted of a friend on a back street showing you "the ropes'. That was basically a quick "here's the throttle, here's the clutch, here are the...

This was posted by a guy at ADVrider.com. Great story. Even better sense of humor. And who'd have thought a Honda Pacific Coast could be such an inspiring motorcycle?

Does anyone else share my fascination with, and love for, motorcycle travelling? There are only a couple of things (making love to my wife is one) that make me happier than just being on my bike, 500 miles from home, and 150 miles from the nearest town. I especially enjoy arriving in some small...

I wonder if Trudeau has a friend who was killed or hurt on a motorcycle recently? (link may point to a different comic after this date. I'll update the link if it does) You can post a comment here. Please avoid insulting or rude language, and stick to the facts regarding motorcycle riding safety.

I'd like to comment on the closing of a thread in the crash analysis section. (sorry, it's a bit long, those with short attention spans can bail out now!) First off, let me say that motorcycle safety and understanding how and why people crash is a passion of mine. I've been obsessed with the...

I'm going to be hosting a group of motorcyclists from other states for a weekend on the Marin county coast soon, and I plan a group ride down through Half Moon Bay and up to Skylonda Corners. Does anyone know if the toll takers at the GGB toll plaza accept a single payment for a group of...

Just got back to Oregon from a week in Bolinas. Had a great time. As usual, met up with a lot of great people. Had a chance to talk to Wade Boyd at The Station House Sunday morning. got a brief rundown of his Isle of Man trip. I'd like to offer a special thanks to the guys at Marin Cycle...

oi m8. I truly admire the clever versions of people's screen names that you come up with. I've been wondering about that, and I said to myself "sod-all, I'm going to just ask him!"... So, out of curiosity, do those come to you right off the top of your head, or do you think about it for...

I'm planning on meeting up with some friends from various places, inlcuding UK. The plan for those of us in the US is to ride in, but the UK guys will have to fly into SFO and rent bikes. None of these guys would list Harleys as their first choice for rental bikes. Does Marin BMW rent bikes? Any...

This is going to be interesting. For those who think "it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when", I can safely say that's a myth. I've got well over 200 responses from all over, and I've compiled 120 of them so far into a spreadsheet that lists number of years riding on the street, amount...

My conversation with Slozuki in his thread "wrecked" needs a bit of explanation. The reason why I came up with the defenition of "crash" that I mentioned in that thread. I didn't exclude the circumstances that I excluded so that I could say I've "never crashed"; I have crashed before, but most...

Hi all. I'm only a Bay Area rider once a year since I moved to Oregon about a lifetime ago. Used to live in Half Moon Bay. My annual pilgrimage to Bolinas begins this Friday, and I'm planning on a homecoming to Alice's Restaurant this Sunday. I'm hearing talk of resurfacing on HWY...
