    Good shop for a DRZ400sm in the SouthBay

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a good shop in the SouthBay for DRZ400sm service. I've got a stock 2019 with about 1600 miles. It currently needs nothing, but in the future I may be considering a full exhaust and an FCR39 carb swap. I could probably do this myself, but would prefer the...

    Ambulance Approaches From Behind...

    Here's the scenario... You're the only one in a left hand turn lane waiting for the left light to turn green. The three lanes to your right are three or four cars deep waiting for their light to turn green too. (Therefore the cross traffic has the green light). Other than one cross traffic...

    Hello, my name is McGrude and I am a recovering cager

    Hi folks. I just joined a few minutes ago... Anyway I've been living with regret for 8 years for selling my 1983 Yamaha XJ550 Seca. I miss her, she was a fine motorcycle. Rear set footpegs, 4-into-1 exhaust. She was light, nimble, and fast enough to get my in trouble if I tried. So I...
