    Lane Sharing question for Cali

    One of things they taught us in MSF was to guard your lane. I do this when traffic slows by moving over to the side of my lane where there are cars. Tough when they are on both sides but, then I share and like the other inmate, never more than 5-10 mph. Don't do it enough to be comfortable...

    Finally

    Ahhh, a pig owner now. Head on over to hear: https://www.advrider.com/forums/ your forum would be the Gspot. More information than a normal human can assimulate. Had one for awhile but got rid of it becuase of its off road mannerisms. I wanted something that could do a little more enduro...

    Approves Bill Allowing Motorcycles to Run Red Lights

    I'd be leery doing this at any intersection with cameras. How do you prove you were there for "reasonable amount of time"?

    Death Valley

    For an out of the way place China Lake is common for a lot of us. Was stationed there from 2000-2003. Got the desert in my blood. Did a short stint on the coast, Santa Barbara to be exact. Nice place but too expensive. Came back to the desert but not as deep as China Lake. Now working on...

    Where to buy a replacement battery?

    Got mine at a local M/C shop, much cheaper than the stealer. Check wal-mart, might be surprised at what you find.

    THAT is a YAMAHA?!?

    We get that all the time. Often joke with the wife about our spirited rides through the canyon that people will report a "black bike with two people on it". Hmmmm, that ought to be hard to fine with the number of harley and other heavy cruisers around. Not a lot of people know this bike, only...

    Heavy LEO weekend

    Left the Antelope Valley, and no there are not any antelopes here, The 14S, 405, 101N, Topanga, 1 N & S. Counted 30 LEO's. Funny how this co-insides with the end of the month. But they are out this weekend. Lucky for us they were all busy when we blew by. Once CHP'er gave us a scare but he...

    Never saw that coming!

    Willing to bet that is not the case at all Mike. Stoopid is, as stoopid does. All that beefcake around it should of been no problme to load that bike up the ramp. More than willing to bet Bud or Miller Lite was involved in this incident.

    Michelin PR 3's out any day now

    Interesting tread patterns. Nothing on their US website or Europe about these tires. Only thing could find is some one's blog about "going to try them when they become available."

    A short ride to end an awesome year

    Death Valley Wildflower ride, Assuming we get some rain.

    Death Valley Wildflower ride, Assuming we get some rain.

    Seems we are getting the rain, question is, are they gettig the rain. We will go regardless but this yr, take the Jeep we just purchased. This will enable us to go places we other wise can't on the FJR. Though, there is nothing like the Feej, the Jeep gives us that open air feeling. Hmmm...

    Lane Sharing in Oregon

    Sounds to me as they just deferred approving the question. Commit and get it done with. As for the motorcycle safety thing, When traffic is stopped I feel safer between all those cars, then at the tail end of the line. If the rider does this in a safe and prudent manner, then it just keeps...

    winter touring jacket

    We have the tourmaster transition jackets. Out here the morning could be 30 degrees warming up to 70 by mid afternoon and cycling back to 30 in the evening. These jackets are AWESOME, they keep up comfortable in this zone, have liners that go in and out in minutes, ventilation a plenty, you...

    Lane Sharing in Oregon

    Good luck guys. It does work wonders, can't tell you how much it helps us get through around here, especially at rush hr when the lights are backed up with cagers.

    I need to touch new tires, I need to see them in person,

    IMO, you are better off going by what people who have the motorcycle and ride like you ride, recommendations. Understand that you still want to see and touch them. In my experience I could not find anyone local carrying the PR2's, so, bit the bullet, went on some recommendations from the board...
