    Accident in Rancho Bernardo

    I saw the aftermath of a pretty bad accident yesterday but wasn't able to stop. There was a blue FJR embedded in the grill of a car. They were in a parking lot but I couldn't tell if the vehicles had been moved and there was an ambulance on the scene. I hope it wasn't one of our peeps. Anyone...

    Battery Change in SD

    Anyone available and willing to coach me through a simple battery change tomorrow? I need to buy one in the morning (assuming the stealerships are open on MLK). The bike is actually parked in the lot adjacent to my neighborhood in the Scripps/Poway area. I would be grateful and will provide...

    Songs that...

    Enjoyed Mission Impossible last night and explained to Lisa how when I hear the MI theme song, James Bond Theme song, my bike goes faster. Of course there are others as well. Incidentally, when I hear "The End" by The Doors, I sloooow way down. And you?

    Scala G4

    My GF just bought be the Scala G4 for us. She thought it would be for two up riding and had no idea that it would also be for bike to bike comm since I bought her a Yammie FZ6R for X-mas. Anyway, my Arai Quantum 2 is pretty loud and I typically ride with either ear plugs or inner ear speakers...

    MSF

    Ok, so thanks to all the good advice in another thread, I settled in on an FZ6R for my GF for X-mas. She has NO riding experience and plans on taking the MSF course ASAP. Are some better than others? Does anyone have any intel on SD schools/classes? Does anyone know of a private class where...

    Kawi 636

    Looking to get a used sport bike under the tree on Xmas for my gf. I found a 2006 Kawi 636 in good shape for $4,000. I am in SD and this would not be my first choice for her for a first bike but I definitely want a black 600 ish sport bike in decent shape. Is this bike too aggressive for a first...

    First trip with a pillion

    We have done some local day rides and communicate well but this will be my first big trip with my gal...or any gal...or anyone for that matter. We are heading to Big Sur (maybe Monterey/Carmel) and I would welcome any advice...either for two up touring in general as well as input for a great...

    Ordered my rear case today

    Many of you can remember a few years ago when I considered selling my bike in the midst of my divorce and with two little ones at home. I haven't ridden much but am glad I kept the bike as it provided great therapy over the last few years....I'm even more glad that I met a super woman almost a...

    Taxes

    answer a few questions for me? Working on some bookkeeping/taxes for my Sub S corp and myself. 5 Minutes on the phone would be super helpful. I've got just a few very specific questions. Thanks in advance

    Thank you

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your help over the last few years. I met you in June of ’06 and I have to say that my life is enriched for knowing you. You have been there for me during some of my darkest moments and have been an unwavering friend... always there for me...

    Speeding

    We've all been there. Either you come up on a LEO at warp speed and put the breaks on a few hundred yards behind and sit there wondering if you are going to get pulled over or you get passed by a speeding LEO and you start trailing behind at 90+. Monday, I was a ways behind a motorcycle CHiP...

    2 up questions

    I will soon be riding with a gal who never has before. She's not too keen on it but willing to try. Obviously, I would like her to get the most out of the experience in hopes that we can ride regularly. In terms of backseat comfort and a sense of security, how important is a backrest? What...

    Speeding ticket follow up- Thank the Lord

    I have a new best friend... and he's a judge in Barstow. Some of you may remember that I was cited for 110 mph on the way to NAFO. Threw myself on the mercy of the judge yesterday with sincere honesty and he was nice enough to kick it down considerably to "exeeding 70". Thank you, your Honor...

    TWN Tim Bates Avatars

    I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar reaction to the use of avatars in support of Tim's memory as I am. I absolutely recognize and appreciate the motivation and meaning and in NO WAY want to question ANYONE'S intentions. For me personally though, I find it unsettling and prefer...

    Want to borrow my FJR AE?

    New Business + Divorce + unemployed ex + 3 lawyers +2 little ones = shitstorm on the financial front. I'm downsizing my life temporarily as I create 2 homes, have to buy 1/2 (or more) of everything and continue to invest in my growing and thriving business, all while getting ass raped by the ex...
