  1. NorCal Road Ride July 27 20 Jul 2024 16:56 We could also do a tuning fork shaped ride - out to French Meadows Dam on Mosquito Ridge Rd and double back to Foresthill, then down to Georgetown for a run out to the end of Wentworth and back. Definitely no dirt on…
  2. NorCal Road Ride July 27 19 Jul 2024 17:23 I’m in, as per usual. Basically flying back to Cali just for this. Always enjoy tooling around with you weirdos. Has anyone scouted that Mosquito Rd section? I’m a regular on Mosquito RIDGE Rd - which is back open now,…
  3. Bay Area Roll Call Ride #1 2024 21 Feb 2024 16:43 Here you shall find Brian, always up for some NorCal mayhem. In for March 2.
  4. Bay Area Roll Call 2022 22 Oct 2022 02:53 There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Brian attending Bay Area Roll Call rides when he’s in town. In.
  5. Bay Area Roll Call Ride 2021 26 Sep 2021 17:16 Aw man what a bummer on the rainout! Sorry I couldn't make it. Great to see everyone back together again though, and glad to see RC and the Tenere surviving an "off highway excursion." Hope to make it to the next one -…
  6. Bike vs. car in the twisties 14 May 2020 20:01 A reasonably modern sports car will demolish even the fastest bikes on twisty public roads. I put this theory to the test constantly in the hills above Napa...R1s, 1199s etc are dispatched with absolute ease, especially…
  7. CCT Plunger and Cap Damage 11 Aug 2019 21:40 Another update: got it “running.” A blue plug under the tank (fuel sender I think?) had become slightly disconnected despite having not been touched. A lesson learned for the turn-the-tank-around-on-the-seat-rails…
  8. CCT Plunger and Cap Damage 11 Aug 2019 21:29 14 hours ago, Grum Hi Brian. Have replaced CCT,s before with no ill after effects. My concern is that the POs reason for not fitting the steel cap surely would be that he either forgot to transfer it from the old one…
  9. CCT Plunger and Cap Damage 11 Aug 2019 06:32 The story continues... Confirmed last week with the PO that he was pretty sure did not install the metal cap on the front CCT about 19k miles ago. Let that serve as a lesson to all - use the cap or your rubber shall…
  10. CCT Plunger and Cap Damage 4 Aug 2019 20:35 19 minutes ago, Marooncobra Sorry for your woes. Can you contact the previous owner and ask if he did a change of the CCTs and forgot to fit or dropped the cap? From here, I would remove the exhaust to allow you to drop…
  11. CCT Plunger and Cap Damage 4 Aug 2019 19:46 Need some help from the 6th gen experts here - changing my clattering, rattling CCTs today. Rear went fine, easy as pie. Then I gently extracted the front one so as to not disturb the metal cap annnnnddddd out came a…
  12. Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 24 Jun 2019 16:38 Thanks for setting this up Jeff, and thanks for leading. Nice to be a follower for once (and ride at sane speeds). Fun ride and great to see all of you guys. Lower speeds and fewer pictures in my old age lol. See y’all…
  13. Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 21 Jun 2019 05:18 Ah yes, you probably thought I was dead...I hate to disappoint you. My tires are Dr Phil, my brake fluid is Aunt Jemima, and my chain is looser than your mom - so naturally I'll be there, if only for proof that TJ has a…
  14. Bay Area roll call ride 2018 20 Apr 2018 22:44 I have no idea whether either of my bikes even work haha. If not cue the Alfa! Ashamed to say it but I like that boxer...
  15. Bay Area roll call ride 2018 11 Apr 2018 15:57 Bet you thought I was dead, but I'll see if I can make this happen. I fly back from Chicago the day before. Would be great to see you weirdos again!
  16. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 3 Oct 2017 03:50 Everybody on the "yes" list still in? And either of the maybe's gonna make it?

  18. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 17 Sep 2017 03:34 Shaver U....now we talkin! Heard they keep the downstairs pretty clean. Of the sorority house, I mean.
  19. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 16 Sep 2017 23:30 3 hours ago, St. Stephen +1, nice!. I'll bet that crazybro and/or tc will be happy to join your new frat house. You might want to text or pm them (if you haven't already), they may not check this site until it's too…
  20. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 16 Sep 2017 18:29 1 hour ago, Duc2V4 Rather than risk losing the room, I booked it. Hopefully those who haven't booked theirs yet can just share this cabin with me. I have 48 hours before the date to cancel, so if you're hemming and…
  21. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 15 Sep 2017 16:27 19 hours ago, VFR Capt.Bob I have a pending heavy work comittment starting in October sometime. Timing may be just right for me to go before it starts. Still have all my gear ready from my last solo moto ride to Mammoth…
  22. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 14 Sep 2017 18:19 <--------- there's the riff raff you're looking for There are many days to hit the track, but only one GSS ride. Checkmate!
  23. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 13 Sep 2017 03:12 Oh yes, you read that right. We're doing it again, for the 4th year running.

  25. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 24 Jul 2017 05:37 891 miles door-to-door. Shoutout St. Stephen for putting in 900+ miles on the RC51. Speed limits ignored, brisket eaten, no breakdowns no tickets no crashes. Ed would approve - RIP buddy.
  26. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 20 Jul 2017 17:27 3 hours ago, Duc2V4 Well, not looking guys. We are close and actually got a slight extension but that means working over the weekend! If some miracle happens between now and Saturday, I'll let you all know but at this…
  27. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 18 Jul 2017 22:28 32 minutes ago, St. Stephen Cool. Does this mean Duc might make the ride? As a side effect I suppose yes it would be easier for him if he can make it. Our short bus kids this time are Monica/Rich (who will probably meet…
  28. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 18 Jul 2017 20:35 So, in order to accommodate our "special needs" members, I'm proposing to switch the route to do the southern end first. That means our meeting point for Saturday is the usual Sierras jumpoff: STARBUCKS, 1451 Hulsey…
  29. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 17 Jul 2017 23:34 1 minute ago, St. Stephen Lorne, don't bother with Ice House and Wentworth, Brian often comes up with goat trails that end up a big disappointment. :wink: Guys, the new bike is at the dealer for an extended stay, long…
  30. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 17 Jul 2017 19:12 crazybrother, 7/15/2017 at 8:21 PM I think that i'm going to stay overnight. We can share a room if anyone already has one booked. Which motel are we staying at? Super 8 it is I guess!
  31. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 16 Jul 2017 01:31 4 hours ago, crazybrother So we are staying the night in Auburn... As usual I have a Cousin and his wife that live there... :goofy: Is everyone staying in Motels or is anyone camping? But do you know all of the local…
  32. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 14 Jul 2017 19:46 RC1237V, 7/11/2017 at 8:05 PM Brian, any ideas on the overnight location? Auburn. It's 375 miles or so from Napa assuming we use the route in post 1. They have plenty of hotels and it will be easy for single-day people…
  33. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 30 Jun 2017 22:15 1 hour ago, crazybrother [image: VFR-11.jpg] Those are some pretty nice pics. Where'd you get em? :goofy:
  34. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 29 Jun 2017 00:33 2 hours ago, jeffyjeff but he was fearless. This. TC and I had a good laugh once about Ed's riding style - I think right after the French-Meadows-Dam-late-braking incident. That's part of why it was shocking to hear he…
  35. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 28 Jun 2017 19:13 Been thinking about doing this for a while...the one year anniversary seems fitting. Back story: Ed (ecn) was one of the hardcore NorCal VFRD riders - he joined pretty much every ride we ever did in the last 5 years.…
  36. Tracked the 8th Gen over the weekend 1 Mar 2017 20:08 20 hours ago, Rambler358 Like a fungus? :beer: More like a wife. :beer:
  37. Tracked the 8th Gen over the weekend 28 Feb 2017 23:47 46 minutes ago, fink im surprised they let you on with textiles. Must be leathers in uk My first thought too. Some places here even require them to be one-piece. The 8th look really good in white too. Growing on me.
  38. ECN Down 17 Feb 2017 05:36 Damn...I don't really know what to say. Ed was such a nice guy, and super fun to ride with. Always the first to commit to a Bay Area ride, and it seemed like he was there on every single one - from an army of us up in…
  39. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 6 Feb 2017 05:50 Hey look, a week later I have made pictures! Some of these are from my phone so they suck. [image: 31924937283_4bd8abf899_b.jpg] [image: 31924931903_3fc0c9059b_b.jpg] [image: 32585535562_e077e6a362_b.jpg] [image:…

  41. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 24 Jan 2017 18:10 I'm still good for Saturday. Just tell me where to be.
  42. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 20 Jan 2017 04:28 Define "nectar of the gods." 29th is a no-go for me now. Hurry up and confirm a date so I can be sure to have a work conflict pop up almost immediately. :mellow:
  43. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 17 Jan 2017 23:41 17 hours ago, jeffyjeff Today would have been a great day to ride. Unfortunately, my crystal ball was on the blink last week. After seeing the latest weather forecast, I am inclined to agree with jlpvfr. The weekend of…
