    SF Veterans Day Parade + Huey Escort

    Here's a quick video I put together of our (Northern CA Warriors' Watch Riders) ride into SF bringing ourselves and our static UH-1 Huey to the Veterans Day Parade. Bringing the old bird into the city always makes for a fun ride. nr8Kj5M9aNg

    "I don't know, man. I'm not an engineer."

    That was the reply given when one of my friends asked a guy how much horsepower his new Indian Scout has. :wtf Now...I get that it is a new bike and is probably very new to him in particular. Maybe he hasn't read up on the specs or delved into the particulars...yet. But his reply not only told...

    Three cheers for good lane position

    This happened this morning on 680 near Walnut Creek. I saw the green Accord change lanes to his left ahead of me, so I slowed down and gave him room in case he wanted to change lanes again into my lane. Once he cancelled his signal, I went ahead and passed. Before I could finish passing, he...

    Cars trying to lane-share & a close call

    I just put together another quick compilation of the fun encounters I've had in the past week or so. Most are simply annoyances (the SUV trying to inexplicably share the single lane with me, the Lexus with her head up her rear) but the incident with the Raptor and the Subaru was pretty close...

    Memphis Shades batwing fairing on the Shadow

    I recently took advantage of my copious discount at work and outfitted my VT1100 with a new MS batwing fairing and spoiler windshield. I had a MS Fats windshield on it previously, as it came from the previous owner, but the look and the wind buffeting left a lot to be desired. I commute via 680...

    Switchback LED Turn Signals

    I just wanted to share the latest mod I've made to my bike. I replaced the stock turn signal bulbs with a switchback white/amber 1157 bulb. Totally plug and play, running lights are white and turn signals amber. Swapped the lenses for clear pieces from eBay at $10 a pair. I really like the clean...

    2-up? More like half on.

    Saw this near the 680/24 interchange today. Do people seriously ride like this? I'm afraid to ask what happens if he has to lean hard into a turn... https://youtu.be/M4c5WQiyHQ8

    Tourmaster Venture & Venture Air Pants XL 36/38

    I recently acquired 2 pairs of Tourmaster riding pants from a friend but they're too big for me. They are in new condition and from what I understand where hardly ever used. They show no signs of wear and include their zip out liners. Tourmaster Venture Pant - XL 36/38 Retail: $174 My price...

    New bike: '06 Shadow Spirit

    I traded in my '06 Shadow VT600 VLX Deluxe last weekend and upgraded to an '06 Shadow Spirit VT1100. I needed something with more power for my commute, as I was always pushing that 600 to the limit to keep up on the freeway. I'm really enjoying the increase and power and especially the increase...

    Taking jaywalking to a whole new level...

    I just posted my latest installment of my motovlog, and saved the best clip for last. I couldn't believe what this kid did at a busy multi lane intersection...well, just check it out for yourself. https://youtu.be/9IbkUILC0kM?t=4m26s Check out the rest of the video and my other videos if...

    WTB Honda VTX1300

    No specific year or submodel. Would prefer blue, red or black but open to others. No more than 30k miles and around $4500. Some add-ons would be nice but I typically like to start with a clean slate.

    Why I use a dashcam...

    This video didn't necessarily help me out in this incident, but it very well could have come in handy. On December 5, 2014 I was rear ended on 680 heading to work in Dublin. The guy had been staying pretty close for miles and I had already motioned for him to back off. He would fall way back and...

    n00b in Concord

    Hi guys, I'm a new member but experienced rider in Concord, originally from Oakley. I ride my 2006 Honda Shadow VLX600 Deluxe every day to and from work in Pleasanton. I'm currently looking to upgrade the bike to something a bit larger but love to ride. When I'm not riding my commute, I ride...

    New Bay Area Cruiser Motovlog

    Hey guys, new member in Concord, originally from Oakley. I ride my '06 Shadow to and from work in Pleasanton every day, and having a helmet camera has given me quite a cornucopia of examples of the kinds of drivers we deal with out here on a daily basis. What kind is that? The dumb kind. Anyway...
