So I replaced my R1M with a '16 Tuono 1100V4F. It had a quick shifter but no auto-blip. "No biggie I thought" 3 months an 3000 miles later I still keep getting caught out forgetting that I need to use my clutch when downshifting. :laughing So I bit the bullet and fitted a fully programmable...

Got out early with my buddy and did a loop up 101 and the back down through Hopville, Middletown, Berryessa, Rockfield and Cordelia. The roads were most empty until we got down to 128 headed west and the Wooden Valley Rd., headed east. Then is seemed like every bike in the Bay Area was heading...

This was the first car I bought when I came to the US in '94. 25 years and 156,000 very hard and abused miles later it was time for a rebuild. The goal is a daily drive-able, track-day toy. Something from the 90's that can hang the new stuff. The focus was on a big "fat and flat" torque...

There seems to be an outbreak of peeps fitting after-market blue lights to their cars and trucks. I don't get it. Isn't this an invitation to be pulled over? :wow

Is there an A* store in the Bay Area? I'm going round and round in circles trying to get an A* Tech Air race suit and airbag combo. I have tried using their sizing charts and ordering on-line but am having zero success. I need to try a couple of size combinations (M or L vest? 50 or 52...

I'm probably doing it wrong but I recently turned 61 and have been running track days since I started riding bikes 11 years ago and I decided there was an itch that needed scratching :) So I attended a 2 day race camp with the most excellent folks at California Superbike School last week...

I ran T'Hill with PTT on Saturday (8/25) and was privileged to follow a young teenager(?) on a tiny 2 stroke, running rings around most of the A group. :thumbup Anybody out there know who he is? Any back story?

Took a ride up to Beryessa today. Saw 3 Moto LEO's railing down the road towards me, with big wide smiles. I guess they were just having fun :thumbup It was impressive to see them hustle those heavy bikes along :thumbup

.... unless you want something to eat yer face. :thumbdown I picked up tiny a pin-head sized itchy patch on my cheek after a sweltering day on the track on Saturday. It grew rapidly and by Monday morning was red, weeping, hot and itchy. I had been lazy and stored my riding gloves in my helmet...

EDIT - I got my roads confused. It the road from Leesville to Hwy 20 not Sites Ladoga Rd. Its fresh asphalt and twisty as hell. Beautiful smooth grippy asphalt all the way from its Eastern intersection with Hwy 20 all the way through Leesville Northern CA has its own mini Stelvio. :ride...

Anybody have recommendations for someone to paint the sides of the black (carbon fiber) tank shroud on my bike, to match the front of the tank? They would need to be familiar with OEM paint codes etc.

Just pulled the trigger on a 2017 R1M :teeth :ride so I am retiring my much modded and abused 99R1 track bike. Between the original owner and I, we think it has well over 150,000 miles on it - none of them were sedate :laughing I'm thinking of cleaning it up, draining the fluids it up and...

My buddy is building an S&S engined custom and is using these forks and wheel. He thought they were off a 98-03 R1 but they are not. He needs to locate a tripple tree - anybody recognize it?

I commute home on Hwy 24 East from Oakland through the Caldecot Tunnel. Over the past 12 months I have seen more and more heavy trucks and semis crawling up the far left lane all the way up the steep grade. It drives those stuck behind in cars crazy and makes lane sharing for motos...

I just found out that my insurance has been increased for the last 2 years because I had an "accident" in 2013. The problem is that I didn't have an accident in 2013 :wow So I pulled my driving record from DMV and sure enough there it is - an accident involving me on the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza...

What's with the all Semi's/Tractor Trailers in the LH lane on Hwy 24 Eastbound :x Its illegal and a couple of weeks ago I followed two CHP Moto Officers who were yelling at Semi's to get out of the LH lane - but I see it more and more on my commute home. They are giant rolling blockages which...

Went to see it last night mostly because of the positive reviews and strong cast. What utter crap. Its devoid of plot, script and emotion. Just one long fight scene with a couple of car chases thrown in to break the monotony. :thumbdown Kind of like a Statham movie without the gripping...
