Hey all, I know alot of you have wondered what had become of me since I haven't posted in months so I'd thought I'd let you know what's been going on. Last year was a very non-riding year due to some unforseen health problems which for the most part have improved due to great doctors and...

Last Sunday Mrs. Lefty and were invited to Motion Pro's 30th Anniversary celebration which was at their headquarters/warehouse across the street from our business in San Carlos. I think it helped to get an invite since we knew the owner Chris and Chris wanted to use our parking lot to use for...

Stole this idea from a loval bike forum. :spank: Do you have motorcycle with more horsepower than your first car? So, my answer's no.... My first car, a 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 389 4-barrel carb producing 325 hp with a stick shift auto. Bought when I was in high school from a...

I found this thread on my local NorCal forum and I've decided if I'm going to meet my Maker on any road and have no regrets doing so, this would be the road I would do it on. :rockon: One bucket list road | South Bay Riders

Coming back from a job pick up in the SF Bay Area this afternoon I spotted a girl on a hot looking new (no plates) sportbike mergin onto the freeway next to me. She had long blonde hair sporting from her bright neon green helmet, weighed about a hundred pounds but all I could concentrate on was...

Just found this story on our local bike forum: Madras mourns farmer killed by lightning beneath tree | News - Home While Cali rider and I were riding through some awesome lightning storms in the Sierra's last Sunday we had the discussion of how safe are we? Any of you had a close encounter?

O.K. fellow hoons, I'll be switching my PP2CT rears and PP fronts for the BT023 rear and S20 front combo on Monday before I leave on a four day trip in two weeks. I'll try and diligent with an ongoing tire review (with pics) as I try this combination. I just toasted my last PP2CT rear (thanks...

Last night I just finished reading "The Pace 2.0" by Nick Ienatsch in the latest issue of Cycle World and as I am a big believer in the original Pace 1.0 it was very informative reading the updated 2.0. In the last week up here in NorCal on the local riders forum we've have yet another rider...

Yup, just got oso2k's rearset back plates delivered last weekend and although they are works of art, after soft mounting them on the FZ6 I found that my old knees and hips couldn't take the the positioning of the 1.75" back and rise of 1.375". :( Old age sucks.. Therefore, they're up for sale...

As many of you know from an earlier post, Santa made an early stop in December and gave Mrs. Lefty a 2011 Yamaha XT250. As Mrs. Lefty hasn't ridden in almost 20 years, she immediately took the MSF course, passed with flying colors and got her license the following week. After gearing up, we've...

Mrs. Lefty has been very, very good this year what with kicking me out of the house to go on a couple of multi day rides with my pals and letting me drag some of my forum hooligan buds hang out at the old homestead. So Santa came early this year and got Mrs. Lefty this 2011 Yamaha (of course) XT...

Mrs. Lefty and I attended the NorCal International Motorcycle Show last night and got the chance to meet Scott Russell (aka Mr. Daytona) doing a pit stop competition vs. some young whippersnapper on the main stage in the vendor hall. Unfortunately for us old dudes, Scott lost in the rear wheel...

A little advice needed. I'm driving a '98 Chevy Blazer with over 220,000 miles on it. It's been an awesome car but it's tired. I have a 1.75 mile commute to my business in a small town and have been seriously considering replacing the Blazer with a scooter to commute on and to do some local...

Chemiker, Cali rider, myself and Mrs. Lefty (along with some non forum friends) will be attending the AMA races at Infineon in Sonoma this Saturday and Sunday. Any of you NorCal hooligans thinking of going to the races should hook up with us for a good time. :rockon:
