    Aprilia Reliability

    I really like the looks of the Aprilia RS660. What are peoples' thoughts on Aprilia's reliability? I've read everything from "rock solid" to "it's Italian, you expect issues." Are they somewhere in the middle? Does anyone have any personal experiences (positive or negative) to share? With my...

    Missing a side bag?

    Did someone lose a top case today? There was one (white and black) lying on the side of the Summit Road just under 1/2 mile west of Summit Store around 4pm this afternoon. I couldn’t stop to pick it up because I had no place to put it.

    GoPro software?

    Is it just me (I have a 7 silver) or does GoPro software just simply suck? I have an iPhone, and it takes somewhere between three and five tries to get the phone and the camera to connect. Once connected, most things fail (e.g. formatting the SD card) at least one time before they work. Is it...

    Is this remotely legal?

    I was heading northwest, sitting at a light on Almaden Expressway (here) the other day when a BMW (also heading northwest) came up to the light in the right lane, "made a right turn" onto Camden Ave and then proceeded straight across Camden and then back through Camden's Ave right turn lane onto...

    MotoGP on Chromecast

    Up until a week or two back, I was watching MotoGP using the app on an iPad and streaming it to a chromecast. After, I think, an app update, streaming no longer worked from the app - when I start a video and click on the "stream it to chromecast" icon, a small window appears in the middle of...

    Check license plate

    Is there an easy way to check to see if a car is stolen? One has been parked in front of my house for nearly a week now without moving (cars aren't usually parked here for more than a day or two), and I wonder if it's been dumped here, or the owner is visiting neighbors or what? Thanks

    Is your Ninja missing?

    I saw a green/white Ninja on 85N just south of the Union Ave exit (I couldn't read the license plate, sorry), standing upright on the left shoulder. Did you lose it?

    Dog on freeway

    There was a dog running along the shoulder of 85 south a little north of Almaden Expressway on Friday morning (5/29) around 9:00. It was on the incident report web page, but there was no resolution before it scrolled off. Does anyone know if the dog was ok?

    Women's under armor

    Can anyone recommend under armor for women? My wife wears leather when she rides, but none of it has any sort of armor; she's looking for something she can wear underneath. I've found Bohn and Forcefield (it's not clear that they have anything for women though?). Are there others? Thanks

    FZ-09 at SJ Yamaha

    I was at San Jose Yamaha this afternoon - they have three FZ-09's on the floor, one of each color. In case anyone's in the market.

    Route suggestions

    My wife and I are planning a road trip next weekend. We're heading from San Jose to Sausalito on Sunday, and then on to Sonoma on Monday. Can anyone suggest some nice scenic routes? For the SJ to Sausalito, we were thinking about taking either Skyline all the way (pulling over frequently to...

    Kabuto Helmets

    Does anyone know anything about Kabuto helmets? I was at San Jose Yamaha this afternoon and tried one on - it felt great. It was $200 less than a Shoei, so I wondered if it was any good :) Thanks

    M4M - 17N at the Camden Ave

    To the rider behind me on 17N at the Camden Ave exit, can I just say - wow!! I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a wheelie in traffic on an exit ramp. You rock dude. Sure, you only got up a foot or so, and only rode it out for a few feet, but how many people have the skill to do it at all...

    Tire road hazard insurance

    Does anyone know of any decent tire road hazard insurance companies or policies? I found a few online through google searches, but can't tell if they're good, bad, scams, etc. Thanks

    Rider down on San Jose Soquel 12/1?

    I was heading up San Jose Soquel Road yesterday and was passed by a group of riders. A couple of miles later, they were all pulled over on the other side of the road, with one rider looking like he was directing traffic. I hope it was nothing serious.

    What to do at a traffic break

    I was heading north on 85 in south San Jose yesterday evening and came up to a CHP car doing a traffic break (zig zagging to slow traffic down). I was in the left lane, so I slowed to the same speed as everyone else and hung behind the patrol car. After a mile or so, the patrol car took a...

    What's your excuse?

    My commute includes 20 or so miles of freeway round trip. Every trip, I see a handful of people talking on the phone without any sort of headset. I figure if I see that many in my short trip, a bunch must be getting caught by the police every day, so I'm curious - what do people say when they...

    Found Bike

    A black sport bike (sorry, I don't know the model) has been sitting at the Camden Avenue (Campbell) entrance to 17 south for a few days now - does it belong to someone here? Need help pushing it somewhere?
