The video seems to have been taken down. I did not get to see. :(

I think that's the best advice yet. If only you'd been post #42...

So you're saying I should mount the deer whistles to my coworker's cars and have them clear a path? ;)

I work at a pretty small company on a rural road. This week, 2 of my coworkers have totalled their cars running into deer, which seem to be overrunning us this year. Can anyone attest to the efficacy of deer whistles like these? Are there any other methods (besides riding slowly and...

In order to push my last Twisted Throttle order into free-shipping territory, I picked up one of these shirts: Living where I do, I know far too many people with Priuses and thought they'd get a chuckle out of it. Although more and more I'm seeing a metric f#@k-ton of the Tesla Model S, and...

Same here.

I use the Cortech Scarab Winter gloves whenever it gets cold. I keep intending to get Barkbuster Storm handguards and the Honda heated grips, but every time I ride with these gloves, they're plenty warm on their own. I HIGHLY recommend them.

First of all, Mike, you get 100 classic movie points for that reference. To the OP, could you post up some pictures of the damage? How deep are the scratches?

Just to look at this from another angle, have you considered eliminating the "hobby" part of the equation instead of the motorcycle part? I realized that between my car and old motorcycle, I was spending way too much on insurance, gas, maintenance, etc. So I made a bold move and sold both. I...

I've noticed the same thing. Fortunately about half of my commute is Backroads. (Just like my name!!!) And whenever traffic is bad (for instance when the Bay Bridge is closed) my mileage shoots through the roof. BTW, Antarius, was that you I saw today getting off the Richmond Bridge and going...

Welcome from the Bay Area! Spent my 21st in SLO. Crazy fun town.

I think I found your problem... I've been riding with Option 2 for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I work in audio and can't risk my hearing, so I always ride with earplugs. I picked up a SENA SMH-10 and it's been great to listen to podcasts on the ride to work. I don't plan to make any...

I keep my Fastrack transponder in my jacket chest pocket. I figured that would be enough and went through before receiving my license plate (because the Fastrack lane is the only way to get the carpool discount) and I got pulled over for it. Nice officer. Let me off with a warning and many...

I had an NC700-centric weekend. On Saturday I spied my first NC in the wild! I've been waiting to spot one since before I bought mine, and on Saturday I was waiting for the metering lights on the Bay Bridge, heading into SF. I looked to my left, and a few lanes over I saw a familiar shape...

I added a backrest pad to my Coocase top box. Hopefully it'll make my girlfriend more comfortable when we ride 2-up this weekend. It will be her first time ever on a motorcycle.

Looks like it has 3 wheels, not 4. We have something like them in San Francisco called Go Cars. Please be kind to the people of New Orleans and don't drive it like the Go Car tourists do. It's painful.

Since this thread has been resurrected.... This is mine with the Coocase S50 Astra "Volt" Edition. I haven't bothered to hook up any of the electronic features yet since electrical systems scare me and I'm a big proponent of giving into fear. By the way, I think that angle doesn't do...

Here's mine (with her brand new top case) next to my coworker's ZRX: We usually also have a Vespa and lately an MV Agusta Brutale.

Mine is a 2013 red manual. I wanted ABS, but there's no way I could go automatic (no offense to anyone with the DCT). I bought from Berkeley Honda/Yamaha. The owner (Scott) was really nice. After dealing with some slick salesman-types elsewhere, it was refreshing to have no bullshit. After a...

I made this exact same list to justify the NCX to my girlfriend. (Although I'm only 1 bridge per day no matter what). As for the warranty, the dealership I bought it from told me that there is a 1 year factory warranty, and that I have that entire year to decide if I want to extend it by...
