Alright, I'm in NorCal and Lefty had a responsibility to attend to after all. Should be picking up the bike tomorrow. Anybody up for a weekday ride?

So, I did this last year and met up with wrlomas for a great ride. He sadly is out of town that week this year, but I'm still gonna ride while I'm there. If anybody wants to meet up, let me know. I'm gonna start and finish near Santa Rosa, and am real keen on checking out Hwy 1 between Jenner...

Bump and another, bigger price drop. Somebody make me an offer! :)

Bump and price drop. Need boots, anybody?

I'm pretty sure driving your car into a person who will not get out of the way, even slowly, is a crime. Driving it into a police officer who is saying "Stop!" is at least two crimes, plus it's REALLY stupid. Even if you KNOW you are parked legally and the cop is writing a bad ticket, you talk...

Bump and more pics. Boots, anyone?

The perception is that as a group, liberals don't like guns. I think probably between a quarter and a half of liberals are anti-gun enough to make any non-liberal think all are.

I bought these boots from a friend along with some other gear when he quit riding. I've worn them twice, and they're just a bit too big. So I'm selling them. They have been used so little that it is nearly impossible to see the impressions on the leather from the shifter, and the soles have...

Yeah. When you look at it right, the stupid is spread pretty evenly. :)

...this is hilarious. And everyone else does it here. Politics, not scissoring. Oh, and it's not safe for work. Or children. Or lesbians. I think. I never know with them. http://scissorsheldon.com/ Further proof, if you needed it, that liberals are more fun, even if we don't like guns.

Yeah, it matters a lot more with a heavier passenger. When I learned that trick I was riding with a 190lb passenger and weighed about 170. It wasn't essential except when braking hard downhill, and then it really was essential. I can't bench press 400lbs, and control the brakes while...

Six months ago, I replaced the rear tire I put on in '07, and before I did I was experiencing almost exactly what you describe. It's a five year old tire, and I think most of the stick is just gone. I got BT-023s and I'm real pleased. But all I've ever had on my FZ is Bridgestone BT-020 and...

Yeah. What that guy does on a bicycle is stupefying. Some guys are pretty good on motorbikes, too: http://www.600riders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43412

The Scarabeo is a great looking scoot. I don't know a lot about the Italian makes, apart from the fact that they're not as affordable as the Taiwanese or Japanese makes. I bought a Kymco People 150 and spent $40 on a sidecase mount to go sideways on its rack so I could use one of my FZ6's...
