    It happened, First Motorcycle Accident.

    Well as my dad says its not a matter of if, but when. Yesterday I got in an accident while leaving the my college campus (Cañada College). I was headed down a 3-lane one way exit road to Farm Hill Blvd. I was in the far right lane and a SUV was in the far left lane a little ahead of me. He...

    Last U.S. WWI Veteran Dies at 110

    RIP :flag:flag, He sure lived a damn long life. Must be a weird feeling knowing you're the last one alive from a war. He was in good spirits it seems until the end: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/28/AR2011022800165.html?hpid=topnews

    Walking into a bank with your leathers on.

    I know it probably is not that unusual but has anyone ever noticed that when you walk into a bank carrying your helmet, and have your leathers on people look at you like you're about to hold the place up? I almost don't like riding my bike to the bank just because of this. I get this feeling I'm...

    Anyone ever tried FocusFactor or Ginkgo Biloba/other "Brain" supplements.

    Just out of curiosity since I keep seeing the damn Focusfactor commercial, anyone tried any of them. If so have they helped or did you notice a difference? I would think they really wouldn't do anything more then a multi-vitamin..

    Alpinestars RC-1 Leather Jacket: Size USA 40/EUR 50

    I figured I would sell this jacket as I just don't use it. I've used it about 5 times or so. It's a little small on me so I've upgraded to a Dianese jacket. Nothing wrong with it at all except I couldn't bring my backpack to school with the air hump/buffer whatever on the back very easily...

    The title of this thread is misleading. (A complaint about misleading thread titles)

    Guys the title of this thread is misleading. But seriously I see in almost every thread now about 2 posts down someone saying "The title of this thread is misleading." Just a PSA. kbye. Oh feel free to use this thread for other stuff.. like saying titles are misleading.

    Headed down to LA on the R6. Advice?

    I'm planning on visiting some friends in LA and would love to take my bike. An R6 isn't the best bike to do a "long" trip on, and I have never done anything close to this much. I think the longest ride I have done is 2 hours. Basically I just wanna know if this is a horrible idea or not :teeth...

    2008 R6 "Center" Yamaha light wont light up.

    So when I first got my bike I didn't think much of the little center Yamaha light but I recently saw another R6 or R1 on the road and their's was lit up. I remember thinking when I got it that it looked like it would light up but never did so I thought nothing of it. But now that I know it does...

    New tires for my 2008 R6?

    So my R6 has about 8800 miles on it, I have put about 1000 miles myself. It's mostly a commute ride I just take too and from school and weekend rides in the hills. This is my first street bike and obviously I picked it up used. The tires do seem to be getting a bit worse and I believe it could...

    Alpinestars Tech Air Race Suit in Popular Science

    Just received my Popular Science magazine today. Saw this article on a new Alpinestars Tech Air Race suit. $5,000 is a lot of money but I guess if you race a lot it could be a good investment. These photos are taken with my phone, so hopefully you can read it. I did thumbnails because the images...

    Out of the dirt and into the street.

    Well I've been a lurker for a little while now. Decided to finally make my first post. I just made the move to street, picked up my permit and I'm gonna sign up for the MSF course in a few weeks probably. Riding Bio: My dad got me hooked on riding back when I was about 7. Been riding dirt...
