    Leathers: Perf or non?

    Getting a leather jacket but can't decide on perforated or non-perf. These past few weekend mornings have been pretty cool up on the hill, so the extra wind protection would be nice. But then I think of summer and the heat. Just doing weekend riding in the south bay. Opinions?

    Experiences with CompMag? (side-loading magazine)

    https://www.compmag.net/ "Permanently" attached magazine, loaded from the side. Makes AK47/AR15 no longer considered assault weapons because no detachable magazine. Just moved back from TX with my AK and really would like to keep the pistol grip.

    Used to go to Road Rider (15 years ago :wow ). But I see they're now closed. Where's the "go to" place to get a tire mounted/balanced in the south bay?

    Padded underwear?

    So here in TX, there's this set of roads called the 3 Twisted Sisters.... but they're quite a bit west of Austin (~3hour ride to get there, and 3 hours back). With my cotton Hanes boxer-briefs and Levis, by the time I reach the roads, my ass is already pinkish, to say nothing about after the...

    Bridgestone Battlax Tires?

    So the last time I had to buy tires (~2003), I got a BT010 front and BT020 rear for my SV. I need tires again for my FZ8, and looking at the different Bridgestone models, I have no idea what the differences between all the BT0xx models. Went out for a ride this morning, when I left the house...

    AFM "Top Riders"

    Congrats Chris Siglin! I haven't really paid much attention to the races (being in Austin, TX these days), but I just got an email announcing AFM's top rider results, and Siggy [:teeth] is #1 for 'Formula Pacific' and tied for 1st in 'Open Superbike'. Normally, I wouldn't care, but I remember...

    Buying a bike which has a lien against it.

    Want to buy this bike, but the seller is the original owner (2 years) and he financed it, so there's still an outstanding balance and the bank is the lienholder (Yamaha Finance). What's the best way to handle this? I was thinking about getting the payoff amount then getting a cashier's check...

    Non-competitive crew?

    Anyone else here non-competitive? There are so many folks who love trackdays, watching racing, etc, but personally, I'm not all into that. I like to speed safely and push myself in the corners at all that, but I don't feel the need to compete with others. Am I alone in this? Anyone else like...

    Marijuana Possession & Probation.

    Now that possession of <1oz has been reduced to an infraction in CA, I have a question with regards to probation. If I'm on "court probation" (no check-ins or anything like that) for DUI, would a possession ticket count as violating that probation? Or would only misdemeanors/felonies be...
