    Rider down. Pescadero Creek Rd - 8.4.13

    Heard the Loma Mar FD go by earlier. Drove to the store and saw a broken yellow GXSR on it's side half way between the horse camp and the Alpine Rd intersection. Only LEO in attendance, no other folks around. Hope the rider is okay. Very close to home :(

    Thunder Hill 4/22/08 awesome day!!!

    Here's a photo (my favorite) of her last year: The Ninja 250 just flies around all the corners. On the straights she was getting up to about 95 - 100mph in 5th gear. I'm sure you would have an absolute blast on your 250 :thumbup

    Anyone here...

    ... owns the nice black Honda SM with the license plate PFFFRRT ? I frequently see it at the office complex where I now work. There's a great mixture of bikes: A Harley, an SV650, a Gold Wing, an Aprilia Futura, a Ninja 500, a Yamaha cruiser. And we all enjoy plenty of M/C ONLY parking space. :)
