    Gathering of the Clans! When and Where?

    What he's talking about, and what I tried to convey in post 278, but didn't do a good job, is that there is a Jalama Beach Cafe location in downtown Lompoc. I know you were talking about going out to Jalama Beach, but I don't think he did......but does now so all is good. But just so everyone...

    MotoGP at COTA

    We had interior parking as well, which as everyone has said, worked out great. Although on Saturday midday they figured out they weren't catching those folks in the scanning of tickets and checking bags and started doing that midday. We walked back to the bike midday to get more water and put...

    Passenger backrest opinions

    I believe all this backrest discussion to be effected by the recent subframe cracking threads. Just like putting to much weight in a topbox, and overloading the design of the subframe, any backrest mounted to the 3 bolts, or in the case of the PCA rack mounted to that rack, will produce a load...

    Gathering of the Clans! When and Where?

    Could be a bit of a misunderstanding here. Richard is planning on going to Jalama Beach......not the Jalama Beach Cafe in the city of Lompoc.....correct me if I'm wrong Richard.

    Las Cruces Day Rides info wanted

    We're packing up the RV to head to the MotoGP races in Austin Texas. The FJR will be in the trailer, and our plan is to stay 3 days in Las Cruces, exploring southern New Mexico. I've looked at the maps and Google Earth and see some potential good riding, but is there any feedback on any "not to...

    Question for WSB at Laguna...

    The buses are something they do for MotoGP, they may not be doing that for WSBK. Hard to say until we get closer. They won't get the same attendance at WSBK that they do for MotoGP, so my guess would be they won't be doing the buses, but I could be wrong. As the time gets closer they'll have...

    Question for WSB at Laguna...

    Griff, The track is great to wander all over. Definetely take time during all the Practices to see the various sections. We only sit in our Grandstand seats for the race itself. You especially want to spend time at the corkscrew for portions of the practice sessions.

    Question for WSB at Laguna...

    We have been in both Grandstands and prefer T4. The T11 Grandstands aren't really at T11. They're right at the start line, and you don't get a real good view of T11 action other than watching the jumbo tron. Only if you're sitting in the far end of the Grandstands nearest to T11 would you get a...

    A Guy flys with his Hawk

    I flew hang gliders for 26 years (75 to 2001) and in the early 80's there was guy in North Carolina that did the same thing with a red tailed hawk and a hang glider. I flew with them at Grandfather Mountain, NC and it was pretty awesome. The funny part of that story is my dog (Alaskan Malamute)...

    Sena SMH10R

    I've got a friend looking at these who asked my thoughts, and after looking at everything, I wouldn't buy one. I'd stay with the regular Sena or Cardo units. Why.....battery charging! You need both the unit and battery together to charge it. So you either have to disconnect both the unit and...

    Thinking about adding something for my shop

    I have the HF bigger brother to that one, the one that uses hydraulics to lift. I'd almost think I would rather have the foot pedal as there are times I would adjust the height but its not connected to the compressor. I don't leave it connected to the compressor when the bike will be on the...

    No Coverage of WSB on Speed TV

    The most recent update on RR world sounds like its sure thing for this weekend. That being they will stream the race live at 7:30 PCT on Saturday night for Race 1 and 3 hours later for Race 2. They won't archive it, so you need to be at your computer at the prescribed time in order to watch it...

    Rear shock linkage maintenance

    Ouch! Love the comment about the battery but really, what caused this? Inquiring minds don't want to repeat your mistake What would you do different in your suspension methods?

    2013 MotoGP Predictions, Results and more

    Hard to say so early on before testing really begins, but if everyone stays healthy this is how I see it. I think Marquez will be in there and as long as he can keep from getting penalized his results will garner him 4th, maybe even 3rd, in the Championship. So, my guess would be: 1. Lorenzo...
