    Bay Area FastTrak is shady

    Hi all, I haven't posted much here since I crashed a year ago (RIP FZ6), but I thought I'd call this out here. Now that I commute in a car, I use the Altamont and 580 corridor through Livermore which has the new fancy Toll lanes for the diamond lane and such. I logged onto the FastTrak...

    Crashed on the Altamont last night.

    Well...I've heard that every rider goes down eventually. I guess it was my turn. So many strange events that led up to it. Full moon..etc. My baby mama sent me a text earlier in the day "motorcycle down on the altamont, looks like he's ok". My response was "Well it wasn't me...but I hope the...

    White KTM down near Bay Bridge toll plaza this morning.

    On my way into work this morning probably about 9:40 AM? Saw what looked like a white and orange KTM adventure bike being loaded onto a tow truck. This was in the middle lanes before the toll plaza, west bound side. The bike looked to be mostly intact. Hope the rider is ok.

    What happened to this tire?

    This is my front tire. It's a Metzeler Roadtec Z8. I've had it about a year. It has plenty of tread life left. I ride pretty much flat slab commuting most of the time. I don't believe I've hit any road hazards recently. I started feeling what I thought was cupping and then when I checked it out...

    Bay to LA: my first long range ride.

    So...I'm going down to LA for this: http://fyffest.com/ to see a bunch of bands. I'm not really pressed for time and thought the coast might be nice so I'm wondering... Is taking the coast/HWY 1 worth all the extra hours/miles/gas? Is 99 better/easier/safer than 5 or just slab it out and just...

    Near miss today on 580 east, 5pm (M4M?)

    One of my biggest fears is colliding with another rider while splitting. Usually this is when I'm trying to get into the "sweet spot" in the #1 lane while traffic is heavy. Anyway back to my story. I was in Oakland around 5pm and started heading home on 580 east. This is not my normal commute...

    Dog on a Beemer

    This dog is not ATGATT. http://instagram.com/p/XdN9CXwa1z/ Dogs should only ride in sidecars. With goggles and a scarf like Mutley.

    Road rage/venting/what to do?

    I'm not sure what section to post this in so I apologize if this is the wrong place. Also, I really need a helmet cam. I take the San Mateo bridge (hwy 92) both directions, every day. I know when and where the traffic is going to slow down. Where the potholes are, etc. Posted speed limit is 65...

    Stumbled in here again...

    Hey all, I'm Mike from HWD/Castro Valley. I commute across the San Mateo Br. on my 2009 Yamaha Fazer600 and love riding every day. I started riding dirt bikes when I was 9 and rode trials as a kid. I stopped when I was about 17 and always wanted a street bike. Two years ago when I started...
