Last weekend, good rider and all around great guy, Lloyd Deveraj was killed on Redwood by a kid in a Civic who came over the centerline on a turn that was RH for Lloyd and LH for the cager. 25 months and about two corners away, former AFM racer and president Joe Montoya was killed by another...

Yeah, you just had pie on Thursday, but who can't use more pie? :drool This is a joy of riding kind of ride - just for the pure fun of riding, and pie's the excuse. :ride Where: <iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"...

Okay, so I'm not a software guy, but there must be many on teh BARF. I ran across the term "blackflag API" today. I understand what an application programming interface is, but what does the term blackflag mean in this context? Thank you!

About a year ago I got a PM from Gwynne asking me if I'd mind showing some folks around a few of my favorite local roads. It seem that this couple from Brazil had shipped a bike to Dubbelju, and they wanted to get a taste of California. So, I met up with Lynn and Lygia and gave them a quick...

Among the roads l like to ride at least once per year is Leesville - Lodoga which runs from Hwy 20 west of Williams up to Stonyford. Today was the day for that ride. Now, in the best of times the conditions on this road are pretty poor. It's a goat trail, and much of its surface has been...

Anyone can do a mellow group ride (MGR), but how often to you get to do a st00pid ride? No laps, no practice, no point, and in some places no pavement. :Party Sunday, 10/6 is the last day of AFM racing in 2013. I've never been to an AFM race. Let's fix that. Where: Cordelia *$'s at 4490...

Yes, at 6'3" my head is against the roof in a Miata with the top up. My wife has been making some noises that she'd like me to get some sort of "sports car", probably a drop top, but maybe she could be convinced that a coupe is okay. Frankly, if it's cool, it could be more "sporty" than...

I've found a few. Haven't watched this one all the way through. It looks like mid-80's. TPEJYhztNmE

NecK4MwOfeI So after reading all the fuss on here about all the horrible chip seal on Mines, and seeing others posting that Mt. Ham was chip sealed too, and we're all gonna die, and there oughta be a law, but don't raise my taxes, I succumbed to temptation this afternoon, and pounded down to SJ...

Gary Johnson raced the new MV triple in the Supersport class at the TT this year. What a great sounding bike! Enjoy. 11N4nW6xUX0

Thus quoth my riding buddy, Butch today as we prepared to roll out of Snellbux with Gizdich as our destination, and an ever so important purpose - to get the Budman's riding tuned up for Hawthorne. After and pleasant swing down Uvas, and a vigorous hop over Hecker Pass, the pie did not...

No, not that stupid phone! The ones you eat! *DISCLAIMER* I haven't actually been up there to see if the berries are ripe, past ripe, already gone, whatever. You've been warned. Nikky's ride report got me thinking about it. Ride the goats. Eat some berries. What could be better...

My wife and I had decided in 2012 that 2013 was not going to be an Alps year for us. Instead, we planned to come back to her native UK, visit friends and family, and get my Versys out for a ride. Knowing that we were going to be here in early July, and that although I'd love to go to the...

I'm thinking about picking up an unlocked one of these for an upcoming trip to Europe. Anyone have any experience/advice? I don't currently have a tablet, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

The other day I was out riding and saw a moto coming that other way that was sporting a white/clear flashing LED like those often seen on bicycles. It certainly got my attention, but it would be interesting to know whether it's legal. It might discourage right of way violators. :dunno So...

"What?", you say. Yes, the kinetic sculpture races that have long been a tradition over Memorial Weekend in the greater Humboldt Bay Metropolitan Region! :Party Haven't been for a few years, and it's time to go back. If you've never been, it's a hoot. Creative and deranged participants...

wJ4THwBByxI Have any of you seen this movie about a group riding the highest motorable pass in the world, Khardung La? The pass summits at over 18K feet, and it's got to be a challenge to even ride at that altitude. Anyway, it's an interesting movie, and the participants are only slightly...

What: Riding just inland from the coast to get to Stewart's Point for lunch - choose your own route back. Where: Big Rock Mini Mart, Lucas Valley Road, San Rafael KSU: 8:30 AM PDT Stops: Not many. Stop at the Tomales bakery for a snack en route. No gas on this route until Stewart's...

If you're riding a tall and top-heavy adventure bike in slow moving commute traffic, and you're a bit short of inseam, dangling both feet isn't going to make things better. Keep those feet up on the pegs where they can be used to help you control that beast, and only drop one when you're pretty...

Holy shit! No, seriously. I'd never go there! Here's your thread. You don't want to go somewhere, and you feel strongly that anyone who does is fucking stupid? This is your thread. :cool Think riding in Pakistan/Mali/Hayward is suicidal? Share it here. Did you ever watch "The Long Way...
