    Blown away, in the CA desert

    Since you didn't say.. "Jill, pack your bikes..." I'm assuming that this is an open invitation to all of us, so I'll be PM'ing you soon Carver but don't worry, I read your other post so I know to bring expensive booze in exchange for cheap food and good times

    Sucks to be you if you aren't in SoCal

    Lunch Stop on Big Sur Ride: I'm just sayin.... (picture provided by my buddy from his ride this last weekend)

    Life Balance

    I can't tell you how greatful I am that we have been able to enjoy the kids as much as we are and still find time to pursue our own passions. In the last couple of weeks we took the Kids to Disney, Sea World and the beach and I made it to the desert (Superstition) for some off roading, the...

    Dominant Turning

    Motorcycling, dirtbiking, snow skiing, waterskiing etc., I'm way, way more comfortable turning left.

    "San Diego ride"

    I'm interested. How's about a weekday ride?

    First Impressions

    Welcome Dale. I too live in the area, ride an AE after a long hiatus and also upshift with the paddle and downshift with my foot. We'll have to get a local group ride going soon.

    Your favorite Scotch

    I never quite acquired the taste for scotch. I'm convinced that I will when I grow up.

    Ever wave to a motorcyclist...

    I've caught myself, especially after a long day of riding. I wave to FJR's from the car too.

    Won't start after valve adjustment

    "now sucking instead of blowing" Boy this was a softball...where are all the wise *** remarks? Appears to be a defficiency. I'll try to make up for it with a couple: Sounds like you've got a $10K *** toy Can you make the same mistake on my wife?

    What do you tell them

    This topic came up last year and I mentioned then, and still feel strongly, that attempting to defend the danger issue with comments speaking to what we due to mitigate the risks is a big mistake for several reasons. Firstly, because these comments are ALWAYS answered with the "It's not you...

    Did this board get hacked??

    Good job Feejer, I'm glad to see you poking fun at yourself. I never had a chance to welcome you back (you weren't gone long enough). Happy April Fool's.

    A new meaning for "Good Friday"

    apparently owning a Feejer can induce this "Friday Phenomenon".

    "stick-on" equalizer

    I think that the likelihood of needing a weapon while riding is probably directly proportional to your preparedness and hence the risk becomes self fulfilling along with the commensurate dangers. Since I wouldn't attend a gun fight, or a knife fight unprepared, my lack of preparation will...

    Almost got taken out...

    Glad you're ok Barry. I rode into Palm Desert on Friday and although I really wanted to work on my skills (or lack there of) I found mysef hugging the right side of the lane because of fear of double yellow crossers. It is one of my biggest fears on the bike as I feel that I can mitigate the...

    The Weirdest Thing Happened To Me The Other Night

    Who's comfortable loaning bikes?

    I lent my AE out to a perfect stranger from the forum a couple of weeks ago. I love my bike but things are things.

    Good Friday

    I had the day off Friday and was itching to ride. My back has been hurting pretty badly lately so I decided to treat myself to a massage. So living in San Diego, I thought that it only made sense to book the appt. in Palm desert. Makes sense to me... 4 hours of riding for a 1 hour massage...
