So, I'm in Houston, TX, which means that a lot of people don't have very multicultural tastes, to put it nicely. I'm taking some friends out to a local highly-rated Indian restaurant in a few days. We're gonna order Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan, non-negotiable, because I love it! What...

My motorcycle isn't unique enough, so I'd like to add a night-time LED glow effect (probably green). :green I realize that all light sources must be hidden and just show as reflections. Furthermore, it is extremely doubtful that I will have it turned on while riding... I mostly just pose at...

I love motorcycle forums. I really love meeting people that I've interacted with on motorcycle forums. Riding with them is even better. http://www.sport-touring.net is one of my favorite forums. It has members from all over the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. The focus is on...

Way too much time on my hands today, so I put together a photostory (basically a slideshow set to music). All the photos were taken before I moved to Texas from California. It's a tribute to my old YZF600r, which I sold in November after 2+ years and 37,000 miles of great roads and beautiful...

Happy Birthday Tony! Woohoo! :bbq :bday

Help me accessorize my new bike! I need to get rid of this so I can buy a BMW-specific replacement. This is USED but works just fine. It was installed on my Yamaha for less than a year and removed about 1 week ago. Kisan Pathblazer Model P115W-S with daylight sensor...

Traded in my Yzf600r today at San Jose BMW (great folks). I picked up a new 2005 R1200ST. http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/machine/models/model.jsp?model=r1200st After the hand-off of my old bike and a whole lotta money, a few friends and I took it on a quick shakedown cruise on Uvas. So far so...

Since my boyfriend is an ass and doesn't like to go out into nature unless he's tearing up hills and flinging himself off cliffs on his mountain bike, I thought I'd start up a thread in the nature of "Do You Mountain Bike" for those left behind. With winter coming, gotta stay/get in shape for...

Selling my Blue YZF600R to buy my next dream bike. 2003 model, 1 owner. It has just over 37,000 miles. It had a major service (valve check, carb sync, bolt torqueing) in August at Sportbike Dynamics. The forks were rebuilt in January by Hare Racing. Fresh oil. The rear tire is pretty fresh, the...

A little about me and my motorcycle: I live in San Jose, CA with my boyfriend Tony, 2 cats, 2 house-rabbits, and 2 goldfish. I ride a very farkled 2003 Yamaha YZF600r. It has Givi hard-luggage, xm radio, gps, heated grips, heated vest, Starcom music system, electronic cruise control, headlight...

The Trip: July 9 - 12, 2005 Inspired by Deeter's thread on BARF advertising a week long tour of Utah and Colorado, I agreed to join up for the first day and then split off on my own. I could only afford 2 days off work right now, so I put together a nice 4 day, 1960 mile loop through...

I've got a large glass terrarium in my garage (San Jose/Willow Glen area). Got it as an incidental from someone on Craigslist who was using it as an aquarium (but never put fish in (just water). :confused Anyway... Dimensions: 36" long, 24" wide (or so - haven't measured it), 24" tall. <EDIT -...

I was re-reading MSGroup.org for another reason and came across this article. It's a great reminder that other vehicles "not seeing" riders is not our biggest threat (which many people often imply). Pasted article below: http://www.msgroup.org/TIP056.html I can't tell you how many times I've...

So... Just found out on Saturday that my OEM rear shock is blown at 23000+ miles. Anyone have a used rear shock with semi-low miles for sale? 2003 Yamaha YZF600r.

More Powahhhhh.... Binford preferred :) It's not urgent enough to fool with Craigslist yet, but I thought I'd put it out there. Anyone have a decent condition chopsaw gathering dust in their garage? How about a planer? 10" or 12"... For that matter...drill press too. I've got a few projects...

I'm not interested (I know I couldn't handle this ride) but those who are gung-ho about IBA rallies will want to know... Cal24 2005 Entry Info

Those touchscreen things are neat! Hope they don't crash and lose my vote.

I bought this brand new for $300 a year ago. A "friend" used it on a few rides and then removed it from his helmet. Anyway, I'd like to unload it and try and get some money back. Everything is there, except the guy gave it back to me in an X2 model box. :confused This one IS a X1 GMRS...

Another thread got me wondering if there is a correlation between distance ridden in a year and preferred gear (leather vs textiles vs squidly) I know lots of people have different sets of gear for different riding conditions. Pick the one that you do the majority of your riding in.
