Thanx, everyone for the quick replies (and apologies for not responding sooner -- for some reason I'm not getting notified when people comment on my posts). @graler: I was pretty impressed, too, that the lightning connector held that tight. I've had some of them slip out really easily.

For the second time in a year my iPhone popped out of its RAM X-Mount...without me having done anything unusual (e.g., hitting a pothole, swerving, rapid acceleration or deceleration). Both times the Lightening connector kept the phone from dropping to the freeway (you can read more about the...

A fun afternoon ride for those living on the northern part of San Francisco Bay: https://pursuit.olbert.com/2020/02/north-bay-ride/

Not new, no. Relatively new to long multi-day rides . I've driven the Oregon coast, and riding it -- or at least the southern half -- would be a blast!

Thanx, I'll keep that in mind. My schedule isn't always the most flexible. I see you're based in Washington. Any interesting rides you'd recommend, say, in Oregon or Northern California?

Fantastic trip! Envious no end here...

Okay, it appears to be working properly now...

Or you can as soon as I work through some incredibly stupid design choices made by some wannabe programmers and get the missing images restored... ?

I just got back from a great ride through the Tioga and Sonora Passes in California. You can read the write-up on it here.

And now I know which way to go: clockwise!

Yeah, the snow caught my eye last week as I flew back from JFK to SFO. Should make for a great ride...but I figure it doesn’t hurt to get some sense of what I’m heading into, as I haven’t ridden either pass before. Thanx for the perspective.

I'm planning a ride looping through the Sonora and Tioga passes. Anyone have recent reports on the road conditions? I know that Sonora has been open since mid/late May, and Tioga was fully opened on July 1st. But I'm curious if anyone has either of them recently. Thanx in advance for whatever...

Sat phones are more expensive, for both the hardware and the service plans. But they allow you to talk to people from anywhere, and sometimes allow you to interact with the internet, too. Text messaging (SMS) is much more limited (160 character messages on the InReach), but also cheaper (and...

I just received my Garmin InReach Mini, an SMS (text message) communication device that works through the Iridium satellite network. Theoretically, you can send and receive text messages from anywhere on Earth where there's a clear view of the sky. I bought the Mini because I like to ride in...

Btw, how far out from the “side” of the bike do the Canyon Cages extend? I have limited space in my garage.

I'm looking into sliders and cages for my 1300-ES. My goal is to reduce the nicks and dings from low speed falls (Zeb tends to like to take naps in parking spaces, gas stations, etc ). But I'd prefer not to increase the chance of flipping or rolling if I someday have a higher speed crash...

Quick jaunt yesterday out 84 and Pescadero Road to the coast. Couldn't ask for nicer weather, although the ride was late enough in the afternoon that the sun glare whited out the road on a bunch of curves. Good thing I had a large wrecker vehicle in front of me for most of them .

Wow! Definitely worth checking out. Thanx!!

LOL! Of course, that's what I do, too...with the exact same results. I've generated some really hilarious messages when I'm cruising at highway speeds...

Wow! His sense of balance must be an order of magnitude better than mine! Appreciate the story...
