  5. Who was coming down the 405 this morning? 23 Sep 2011 18:04 That might be me if it was RWB. I work right of Jamboree and the 405 and on occasions I've seen a couple reds, one black and one RWB.
  6. SanFrancisco parking 5 Aug 2011 01:40 I do a little bit of travel for business and many big hotels do charge for parking. I was in Chicago last year and had to pay $30/night. Even in Idaho, I'll be paying $17/night for my up coming trip. However, many…
  7. June 2011 California Pacific Coast Tour 3 May 2011 06:19 Yeap, riding 2-3 days/week now hoping to get in shape. Will probably do five days a week in June and 200-300 mile trips on the weekend.

  10. EBAY Hong Kong Pazzo lever lookalikes 15 Oct 2010 07:04 I just got my blue ones from China. I paid $42 (all inclusive price from Ebay). Received the levers in about 8 days. I don't care if they are from China, these are levers and not brakes or chain. I doubt they'll just…
  11. Motorcycle Consumer News - Dont Count! 9 Jul 2010 18:08 If you like/love your VFR, who cares what anyone else thinks. You bought the VFR for you to ride, not because someone told you to. Don't get caught up in the hype or lack thereof. Just keep riding and be happy with your…
  12. iphone as gps 21 Apr 2010 15:47 I have both and I would use the Iphone in a pinch, but it would not be a good long term solution. Get a cheap GPS as others have mentioned. The iphone data plan will cost you $240 (first gen) and $360 (2nd and 3rd gen)…
  13. Big Bear Ride - Sun 4/18 12 Apr 2010 18:22 I'll see if I can make it. It's been extremely busy at work, and I might just need to go in this coming weekend. I just got my new camera and this would be a great opportunity to test on real moving targets.

  16. Suspension Adjustment - Orange County, CA 17 Dec 2009 18:38 This is just an FYI for those that may be interested. Ducati of Newport Beach is offering to adjust the suspension on any bike for $40. For those like me who knows nothing about bikes or suspension, it is an offer I'm…
  17. Alright Stop It Damnit! 16 Sep 2009 04:27 Almost got added to the list today. Lady on right side decided she wanted my lane and without even looking over took my lane by force. I had to brake hard and hit my horn several times. She didn't ever slow down, just…

  20. Riding Again After An Accident 12 Jun 2009 16:46 Coming from someone who totaled his 04' VFR and injuring his knee. I think you already passed the first hurdle by getting back on another bike. With seat time, you'll regain your confidence and be back to your old self.…

  22. Tire Mileage (3100 ?!) 5 May 2009 23:28 I have over 10,000 miles on the PR2. I think I should still be able to get about 3-4 thousand more on the back and probably another 10,000 or more on the front.
  23. Oil ? 4 Mar 2009 17:19 I understand this is another oil question (thread), but it would have been nice to just answer the question. Yes, I know a quick search would provide the answer. I've seen in recent past a few of these type questions…

  26. New 07' Rwb 7 Sep 2008 00:06 You couldn't have picked a better color. Now roll it around your drive way for about a couple of hours so at least you'll have 1 mile on the odometer.
  27. Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? 20 May 2008 05:12 I just did mine yesterday, first time ever. Clockwise to loosen and counter clockwise to tighten the chain.
