    Happy Birthday Travis aka CHEMIKER (37) and Jblk9695 (68)

    Whoops, I saw "ROI" and wa asking myself and badly assumed it was some UK abreviation. My bad.

    Happy Birthday Travis aka CHEMIKER (37) and Jblk9695 (68)

    Is that B.S. or did you really? Are pints expensive in UK (well, if at a bar)?

    Happy Birthday Travis aka CHEMIKER (37) and Jblk9695 (68)

    Wow, (also today a home employee B.D.) two (2) other CA riders personally ridden with, co-group riders . Twenty one, that's the ticket. Now what?

    Bridgestone BT023 rear and S20 front

    Lefty, I don't know where you went but did you and Calirider get to breath smoke---not from your new tires breaking in but of that genuine, every-summer NorCal/SoCal wildfire smoke that's blanketing some of the state at the moment? Gawd, it's uncomfortable, smoky, hot and sticky today in...

    Im in bad situation. please look if you know tires.

    Oh yeah, I've ridden with the steel belt showing in the center for probably over a 1,000 miles. Mainly commute to work, not anything to get underwear in a bunch over. Just ride home with it---you'll be alright. You'd probably be surprised at how much more you can ride on such a tire...just take...

    Monterey to Big Sur and back

    Yes, it's spectecular scenery on the Hiway One but over the years it's become an almost certainty to end up behind caravans of vehicles, expecially on nice days. Nice pics!

    Vladivostok, Russia

    Fascinating pics! Great weather! Some day I hope to visit the city, maybe tak the trans-Siberian train from Moscow. Looks like you had a great time. Russia sure is big on military parades, museums,etc., huh?

    10% Ethanol in fuel

    Ethanol sucks. Probably a move to appease Midwest corn, etc., growers/voters by whore politicians in a so-called "green" move. I avoid that stuff (when possible). Of course, if it were really good, there would be 100% ethanol fuel. I know Shell Oil has it and I even ran into a Chevron that had...

    Ram Tough

    I carry dog biscuits in my cage. I wonder, what do goats want (anything!). Very funny video. Stop, pay toll!

    Rode through 2-3 feet high water for 50 yards

    Ya know, they have boat cars. Maybe there should be a motorcycle version. Too bad no pics. I guess it pays to have a high intake air/exhaust.

    filtering gone wrong !!

    That was HIGHlarious! I mean, saying "Sh** before even attempting it. If it was such a "Sh**" why did he follow through with it? Oh well, I guess he was riding with personal goal of not dropping below 130 KPH and so it was "obligatory" to attempt. Gotta give him credit, however, for putting the...

    Bridgestone BT023 rear and S20 front

    I have BT023's and I hope to get at least 10K miles if not more on the pair. Unrelated digression: I don't unecessarily brake, etc., especially when I see that the next intersection light is---or going to be---red and always marvel at others (cagers, etc.) who race past me and then hard...

    Would you replace these pads?

    Yeah, those current brake pads are healthy. Same logic with feminine pads--no need to replace if still good. Now, if it were a spouse I might recommend changing even if there is plenty of mileage left. If replacing the caliper seals, I recommend sitting down when pricing them. They are extremely...

    Not a virgin anymore

    Well, sounds like you didn't incur much damage. A few years ago, almost the same exact thing happened to me in SF. Immediately as I rounded over the crest of the hill on a clear day, there was suddenly a pavement construction zone/crew ahead and I was instantly on a lower road surface. Looking...

    US Tire Installer Directory

    Good reference. I couldn't get the link to load but I've seen it before---I think with Motorcycle Superstore.

    White smoke from bottom of the engine

    I'm thinking something foreign (what?) burned off the header where it's a different color (brownish). Does the bike sound the same?

    Betty Does CA - July 2013 ride report

    Didn't you really mean "find NEX-boyfriend's parent's house"? (funny joke)

    Betty Does CA - July 2013 ride report

    Yeah, right.;) NorCal Hoons, for some reason, aren't as connected as are SoCal Hoons. Maybe it's the SoCal air or Colorado River water? There probably are not many who would argue that SoCal Hoons aren't the most well-connected group riders on this forum. Well, wherever Hoonapalooza 2014...

    Nail in tire, is it safe to ride?

    Yeah, if the nail didn't breach the cord belt(s) you're fine. I guess it's kinda up to you deciding/concluding that it didn't and then, monitor pressure (and mark area?) and keep going. I would fringe at the thought of deliberately rasping/plugging, etc., a hole in the area that I thought the...

    Didn't they used to hang horse thieves?
