    Traveling to NorCal, week of 11/12-11/16

    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...

    Sidi Boots, Size 10 Almost Like New

    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...

    I hate to bring up politics, but...

    ...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.

    Hot seat from exhaust

    For the first time this year I'm really noticing the seat getting hot when I ride, especially after I open her up. I doubt that the thermodynamic properties of the exhaust or the seat have changed much, more likely my tolerance for heat, or maybe this heat wave. My hottest ride lately was 105...

    Kickstand - important check on every ride.

    So, when I installed my lower fairing, I had to un-bolt and re-bolt my kickstand. The switch gave me a little headache, and I didn't think it should have been as difficult or as time-consuming as it was, so I didn't even notice what I was lucky enough to have a friend point out the next day...

    For Sale: Modified Buell Pegs - 1" Lowered Pegs

    SOLD! These are the Buell Pegs I bought from another member, and they work fine. I'm 5' 8" with shorter than average legs, and these don't dramatically increase comfort for me. I don't really need them and am happier knowing I can lean farther into a corner without dragging a peg or foot if...

    Red S2 in Decatur?

    So, I was riding in my neighborhood and saw a near copy of my own bike! It looked set up for touring so it could have been somebody visiting. Had a GA plate though.

    Blood Mountain Ride - 6 May

    A few of us met up and ran up and down Blood Mountain a few times. I showed up really late and the rest of the guys were nice enough to wait up for me at the Turner's Corner General Store for me. I made some video on my helmet cam and the SquidFoto guys (Gal, actually.) caught us on their...

    Pithy little thing I found...

    I saw this on another forum and thought I'd share... I should point out that I'm as inclined as anyone to violate this premise, and I'm not pointing out anyone's tendency not to. I just think it's funny.

    New Addition To Garage

    I've been wanting to use the light rail system to get to work and reduce my dependency on my car, but the station is just far enough away that walking really makes for a long commute, and driving or riding the FZ6 means starting an engine I care a great deal about and running it for only five...

    Do you have this problem with your bike?
