I've read enough threads to realize that LEO cannot act on videos of bad driving sent to them. So I am not asking about that. Yesterday I took a friend up Mount Hamilton in my pickup truck. I have often witnessed typical scary driving, where car drivers, for whatever reason, are crossing the...

Lots of people said there needed to be a middleweight between the CB300R and the CB1000R. So here it is. Maintaining the design language and looking pretty good. https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2019-honda-cb650r/

In the last two months I have been sideswiped twice, totaling one bike and beating up the brand new replacement. This after over 35 years of riding with no collisions :-/. Insurance has settled in both cases, with the car drivers who hit me being held 100% responsible in each case, so while I'm...

2018 CB1000R Ohlins shock Many thanks to Rob at Evolution! If you have been following along, I bought a 2018 CB1000R a couple of weeks ago. Until recently I has a 2014 CB1000R, which I had installed Ohlins HO808 shock, which is the more expensive of two Ohlins options for the old CB. After I...

Well, I've had the CB1000R for about 10 days, and I have completed around 700 miles. I ordered a bunch of Honda accessories with my CB1000R, because Honda USA is not importing a plus model. In no particular order: screen front mudguard aluminium inserts accessory power socket (only 1...

I bought this nice jacket, then went to Pakistan for 2 weeks. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-yosemite-hi-viz-jacket I fell off a bike at about 5mph and got a small hole in the elbow. I hate to throw away the jacket for such a small hole. I pinged Scorpion and asked if they...

I bought a brand new bike today. My old bike was totalled 3-4 weeks ago. It had a vanity plate. I rescued the physical plate from to totalled bike. I want to put the old plate on the new bike. Can someone please explain to me what i need to do? My vague understanding is that I own the...

Well I got knocked off this bike. Insurance write-off. No longer for sale :-/

I'm toying with the idea of getting a custom paint job on my CBR1000RR. Where's the best paint shops in/near San Jose?

I got a call from a friend to head on over to Alabama to the Barber Raceway Vintage Motorcycle Festival this weekend. Oh boy! If you have never been to the Barber Raceway, you have never seen what must be one of, if not THE finest motorcycle museum in America. The outside of the museum there...

What's the law in California regarding race numbers on street bikes? Permitted?

I've seen worse. But it's nice to see that some police forces are going to take such videos seriously. Yes, not in the USA. "Dashcam footage has been released showing a driver watching football on a mobile phone. Norfolk Police said the driver was given a warning letter. It wants other...

Time for me to get a full, perforated leather suit. I'm a lapsed weight lifter, so have a weird, short-arsed shape. I'm in San Jose, and don't mind a bit of reasonable travel. Custom leather recommendations pretty please?

I finally picked up a CBR1000RR, mostly for track use. My current helmet is a Shoei GT AIR, which is fine for me on a naked/standard bike. However I find that on the sportier CBR, my forward vision is hindered by the top of the visor opening being quite low at my forehead, making it hard for...

... Or maybe centripetal ... fXS_gKIMs5I

To the guy riding a silver 600 (I think. Couldn't get a good look) who rode Alum Rock eastbound yesterday around 4 or 5pm. The guy who filtered to the front at every red light and drove off while the light was still red. The guy who prempted the light across Capitol so early that you were...

I've decided that even though my CB1000R can hold its own on the track, it's time I got something that is more naturally suited to our local tracks. I'm a dedicated Honda fanboi, so I'm thinking about getting a CBR1000RR The CBR1000rr has had a bunch of incremental updates over time, so...

I picked up this darling for a song last year. It has only done about 10,000 miles, and has been in storage for most of it's 35 years. Which means basically everything is dry and needs cleaned/rebuilt. I accept that restoration isn't cheap, but I also know that crappy repairs are expensive...
