Winter = Vstream Summer = Stock w/ CalSci cutouts

I've been seriously thinking about making the same ride through Tecate. Definitely keep us posted about your next run... If I can swing it I'm definitely in!

Very well stated :) It's getting harder and harder to even consider driving a car in rush hour traffic after enjoying the freedom of lane-sharing on a bike. I think I'd probably sell the bike if the legislature ever made it illegal. Canyon riding is fun but I think I get even MORE...

TriggerT that looks like the '06 CalSci aftermarket windshield. The holes were cut differently for the '06 verus earlier models... CalSci

I think your bike has about 100 farkles more than mine... I would (hopefully) notice the difference. :huh: I bought my YES from D&H on my last day of eligibility because, frankly, I procrastinated. Finally all the talk about the small number of bikes being tickers scared me into it... just...

Thanks FJRCHIK! Nice pics and narration. I've been checking for the last couple of days and was wondering when SOMEBODY was gonna post a picture thread of the event. I was beginining to think you'd all been sworn to secrecy or something -- "happens in Reno/stays in Reno" ... :assassin:

That was a great ride with a lot of scenery throughout! :yahoo: :yahoo: ... and yes those cows did scare the hell outta me when we came around that corner -- especially the one that decided "NOW" would be a good time to make a left turn into my lane. All I had time to think was "this...

I was thinking the same thing. His profit margin must be razor-thin but I'm sure he makes up for it with extreme volume off Ebay... Glad it's not a hoax but at a cost of roughly $36 for three mazagines for 3 years I had to give it a shot!

Thanks for the great tip! I just loaded up on a few 3 year subscriptions for Cycle World, Motor Trend and Boating... :yahoo:

With all the crap that's wrong with California there is at least one thing we get to brag about - lane sharing! (Of course bragging about driving through cars stopped in traffic on the freeway seems to be some kind of oxymoron :blink: )

+3 but obviously depends on styling/pricing... Corbin's price was way off the mark!

On my helmet, the strap with the D-ring is too short. It can't extend into the side bags...

In those pictures the side cases are empty but I took all the crap out of them before I took the pictures. If they were empty earlier in the day I would have just put the helmet inside...

Thanks guys for the comments but the ol' saying applies. Not the one about "necessity being the mother of invention". I'm sure there's got to be some ol' saying about "a guy being too lazy to carry his helmet around that he'll think up something" so that he doesn't have to carry it?...

I just KNEW somebody would call me on that one... Oh well, at least one of the suggestions is free (I didn't think anyone would look at the thread if I said it was a $3 solution (damn cheapskates))! ;) :lol:
