I moved out to Hayward, and the drivers out here are insane. I have seen aggressive lane changes every single day, and twice in the last week have seen cars drive straight through a red when only the left arrow was green. I don't even feel safe in my cage.... :(

Are there any scrap yards that sell used motorcycle parts?

$12,000 seems reasonable... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170512797998

OK, I just completed the Alameda County Sheriffs Civilian Class - based on training given to moto cops, but compressed down into one day. It mostly comprised of performing slow tight u turns. About an hour in the lecture room. There was also some emergency braking at the end. So now I know why...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVGtB9j7QCg of course, now that New Zealand has defeated Italy 1-1, and America is doing equally well, I think I might change my tune...

I think it was Proficient Motorcycling that talked about the attention pie, and recently I have been wondering if I am paying attention to the right things at the right times. Some habits come naturally. When I am about to lean over or brake, then the road surface ahead always gets a little...

Kind of makes me feel bad, I don't even remember the last time I gave my bike the rub down... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/1758150535.html

Anyway. I have had it over a year, and I wanted to customize the Prius a little. So I bought some custom bumper magnets. Bumper magnets are like bumper stickers, except they come off real easy, so I can sell the crap-mobile when the HOV stickers expire. Anyway, I buy the magnets. One says...

How accurate do folks find are Kelly Blue Book values? It seems like everyone wants to sell for $$$ over the KBB retail value, and to get a good deal you have to buy outside the bay area or in winter.

Anybody have any spare Boron Powder? Those bulky, bulletproof vests could become a thing of the past. Their replacement: Your T-shirt, but with a special coating. Bulletproofing can be done in one of two ways. The first, old-school approach relies on hard plates of metal or ceramic, which...

I waived at a little kid riding his bicycle today, and the little shyte just left me hanging. No waive. Not even an imperceptible nod. Unbelievable. Don't mothers teach their kids common courtesy here? Next time his mum is getting the BARF salute. Kiwi style.

I need your sage advice BARF. What do I do now? Wear it to the local Starbucks? Or will the real Harley riders want to beat me with their ugly stick?

I had a cop yell at me something about it being illegal to share a single lane, and only legal to split lanes when there were two or more lanes. At least I think that is what he was saying. He was directing traffic within a mall parking lot. I didn't lane share until after passing him because he...

The number of deaths caused by traffic crashes in the United States and other developed countries is nearly 400 times greater than the toll taken by international terrorism, notes a study published in the latest issue of Injury Prevention. In 2001, the number of people who died every 26 days on...

I just came back from a trip through Italy. I couldn't believe the number of riders who calmly ride on the wrong side of the double yellow. Especially near Naples. Oncoming cars would simply move over to make space for the splitting bikes. The thing I don't understand is Italians have...

I just lost it in a parking lot. :cry Should I hand in my riding gloves and get a nice pink dress? :tails Was exiting the parking lot. Decided to speed up past a couple of cars that looked ready to reverse out so was focusing on them. Didn't notice a car zooming out between two parked cars on...

Yesterday I was putting along, cruising slowly around a bend on a side street, I noticed a Mini on the wrong side of the road slowly heading right at me. I think the driver didn't see me until the last minute, and then after seeing me didn't perceive me as a threat, so the car moseyed by me...
