    Late notice, but I don't care. :teeth Going for a ride later. I can meet someone somewhere between 3 and 4pm today. I can ride Napa, Marin (at the coast) or Wildcat/Redwood. If you don't want to do any of those, propose something else. If there's no post by 3:30pm, I'm out on my own. :ride

    Using a Bluetooth earpiece with Xbox 360?

    I've tried following the instructions on a number of sites (all of which are cut-and-paste, it seems) and can't get this to work: http://www.ehow.com/how_6925693_use-bluetooth-xbox-360-headset.html It seems to me that if the Xbox 360 has Bluetooth, and I have a Bluetooth earpiece, I should be...

    Killed the speedo on first-gen SV650s

    Hey All, Pulled the wheels, went to Hare (nice guy) for new tires, put the front wheel back on, trying to be careful with the speedo assembly. Went for a ride and speed was showing appropriately for about five miles and then it dropped to half, started bouncing for a bit and then stopped...

    2001 SV650s in great shape

    Marin, Sunday, 9/30

    Thanks. I saw this before the ride, so I was even more careful than usual. I saw just one Sheriff on the road. Of course, I was following him and he was behind some other cars...which were doing 30 in the 55 zone. :| It was pretty darned good. I'm tired, hot and sweaty! It was cool in...

    SV1000, or KTM 990 family...

    This. I loved mine for 35k smiles, and I didn't have any trick bits on the suspension (other than a GSXR rear shock swap).

    Road Condition PSA: Grizzly Peak, 9/2/12

    There is reddish sand in both lanes here - more on the inside. I had a nice little two-wheeled slide in the outside lane this evening. :rolleyes YMMV

    EBR Superduke?

    I took the day off today so I could make my way down south for my cousin's wedding, and as I was approaching the San Mateo Bridge, I fell in behind a Superduke that was moving...rapidly. The rider had a black helmet with an EBR logo on the back and another on the side of the SD. Who's that? :teeth

    Vallejo 24Hour Fitness

    On my bucket list is "race". To do that, I have to be in (better) shape. Since my wife has a membership at the local 24HF, I joined for two months to see if I can deal with going to the gym. My "workouts" used to be indoor/outdoor rock climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding and hiking - you...

    What's the signal?

    On my (really nice) ride today, I came around a right-hander at about 50mph and saw a deer on the left side of the short straight, probably 50 yards away. Honking repeatedly got the deer to turn tail and bound out of sight, so that's cool. But then another rider on a Street/Speed Triple came...
