So, for all the Santa Cruz locals, where are the nice, quiet, somewhat scenic routes through the city at night time? I'm looking for a loop near the UC campus. Lighted, preferably, as my last trip up 9 at night wasn't all that pleasant. I'm just looking for a slow quiet in-town ride with...

Hey, I've been looking at an iridium visor and saw the supposedly superior Caracoat visors online. Has anyone had any experience with them? It seems they are supposed to be much less prone to scratching compared to the standard oem visors due to the manufactoring process? Product...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about getting an aerostich 1-piece just to make things more convenient. I like the whole just step into it and zip up ease. I'm just wondering what your experience with this suit is in terms of sizing. For a tight fit, I wear a 38 alpinestars. Would 40 be enough...

Hey everyone, We transported the nighthawk down to Santa Cruz in the back of a pickup, and now everytime I'm done riding, fuel leaks out of a tube on the underside of the bike. I don't have a service manual, but from the MOM, it appears that the tube is supposed to be leeft open. It's the...

Hey, if you're a barfer, sorry about me (titanium zx-6r) on 80 E around pacific east mall/ ranch 99. We were in the carpool lane going past the slowed traffic, with me on the left side of the lane while you came up behind me. I'm breaking in the engine, and didn't wanna rev it anymore to...

Hey all, A question regarding auto insurance for someone i know. They got into a minor scuff with another person in a parking lot. Low speed, no damage to either side. They immediately notified their insurance about the possibility of claims, since they were in a rush. Later on the issue...

Hey all, A quick couple of questions. I know Bay Area Motorsports East is considered a good "minimum" price, but I'm still wondering if anyone has ever successfully negotiated with them. I'm just thinking of like 100 off their quote right now, seeing as how the quote is basically "just...

Just had to post about the awesome customer service i just got from motonation, specifically Jojo(sp?) and Juan. so i ordered these slightly used vertebra 2's from them yesterday, but they called back me this morning saying they had already sold the boots, but it just hadn't been logged into...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of a "duffel bag/carry on" type bag with a dedicated helmet storage compartment. I'd like a bag where I could store my helmet and boots/etc together, without having to worry about my helmet scrapping/getting banged against my shoes or anything else...

Hey all, I just wanted to get all of your opinions on when the best time to get some dirtbike experience is. I'm a new rider, <100 miles. I know, just give me time to get more mileage. :laughing But yeah, people keep saying that riding dirt teaches more "emergency control" techniques...

Hey all, Another newbie. =P I've been lurking around a bit lately. I'm as new to riding as new can be. :blush Just passed the MSF course in SF last week. I just got an '04 nighthawk to practice on, and will probably ride it for at least half a year. Being a college student, the bike...
