Repost of Cool French Protest
French motorcyclists more angry than ever UK France Bikers.com
Great pictures to go along with their protesting. I don't know how much good it'll do, but they had quite the turnout above ground and below. :rockon:
All right, I did a quick search and found some useful thread, but none apply to my current situation.
If I pull my front brake I hear the switch click, but no brake light.
So I've done the following:
Check rear brake - Works and brake light comes on.
Check all other lights - Everything...
Mostly for So. Cal people, but thought it would be a good reminder for everyone.
Desert season is officially on and the masses are making their way out to our deserts every weekend, myself included. So why should street riders beware? Because there's a lot of people in very large rigs and or...
I wonder how many people will say they go commando...ouch.
Seriously though, I normally ride with Olympia textile pants and will either wear jeans or shorts under them. However, I just got a great deal on a 1 piece suit and couldn't say no.
The suit has a built in mesh liner that is...
So I might be doing some long rides and at 6,600 miles I decided to pull the plugs and take a look at them. Well pulling plug 1 was enough to make up my mind and go pick up some iridium plugs.
I removed the airbox, wanted to change the filter anyhow, and dropped the radiator. My hands simply...
So I've been stuck taking my truck to work because we're moving a bunch of stuff, so I've been itching to get on the bike. Today was a crap day at work, then I got home to find some bad personal news, so I decided to hit an easy, moderate speed, twisty loop to let out some frustration and focus...
I'm seriously considering a few long distance trips in the next few months, so I decided to head from San Diego to Ventura and back via Pacific Coast Highway for the most part. I'm figuring that I'll build up to 1000 mile round trips to get some iron butt runs behind me, and this trip was just...
Of being a dual sport! :eek:
Went on a long loop through some of Southern California's best desert roads. I love the twisty roads to, through, and from the desert and could probably spend years exploring on and off road. :)
Pulled the tank bag off to have lunch and cleaner lines on the bike...
I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get some stuff out of my tank bag and into the under seat storage. I have everything now under there except my camera and a tire pressure gauge. I'll pick up a cheap pen gauge to use rather than my more expensive digital.
Here's my...
So as I've gotten more comfortable riding I've started to notice some things that I have to question.
Often times when I go around a tight sweeping turn I get the feeling like I'm leaning back. I'm trying to get my body over the tank and head toward the mirror in the direction that I'm...
Had a fun Sunday riding, so thought I would share some pictures.
First, I'm not sure where to post lots of pictures and "ride reports"? Is it in the general section? Am I missing a Picture, or ride report forum? I see videos, but think I'm blind. So that said, please don't stone me for posting...
Had a long week at work and was determined to get in a Saturday ride. Looked to the mountain but the clouds were piling up and getting darker. Looked to the coast and the clouds were lighter; it was determined coastal run.
Took the canyon from my house to the coast and just played around on...
I've been riding for about a month now and have been looking for a good deal on actual motorcycle boots and finally found the deal I was looking for.
I bought a pair of Sidi B2s this afternoon, put my work boots in my backpack, and wore the Sidi's home. Right out of the box these boots felt...
