As a bit of a post script. It has been about three weeks since my accident. I have basically healed all but a couple very small spots on a knee, my sore shoulder. The insurance company totaled the Nc, but I think they were fair with their estimate. Insurance is picking up my medical bills...

I would rather this thread not sink to pointing fingers about any class of drivers. My intention was to point out my experience with the safety gear I was wearing. One thing that I generally add to any bike is safety lighting. The back of my Nc had a "ghost light." It is a light used by...

Thanks for the thought agia. CHP was the first call I made from the side of the road. I know all about Felony hit and run - I was a motor cop for 15 years, and a police motorcycle instructor for over 10. Unfortunately the roadway was dark in the area where I got hit and I don't think there...

Thanks for all our well wishes. Yes I am sue I was hit from the rear. I was on clean flat pavement when I went down. The rear tire still has air and the tail pieces are bent in and forward. Talked to my insurance company yesterday. They took possession of the bike for evaluation of...

On Tuesday night, I was riding home on the 91 Freeway in So. Cal. I was going about 65 MPH when I was rear ended and knocked down. I had no idea I had a problem until I was tumbling down the freeway. When I stopped tumbling I was near the right side of the road, but thought I was still in a...

How about Lancing MI? Apparently Diamondale is a suburb of Lancing

I am looking at a bike on eBay that is at Full Throttle Motorsports in Diamondale MI. If so, please shoot me a PM, I need a small favor.

I've been thinking about putting on set of handle bar risers. I checked the mod forum and found the Rox risers seem to work well, but stretch the wires and brake hose a bit. Anyone found other brands that don't seem to have this issue?

Yes I know, the weather in So. Cal sucks, but someone has to live here.

$$$$$ I think it all boiled down to dollars.

Thought I would post a short video of a recent ride for those of you who can't ride right now. This is a portion of my ride across the San Gabriel River Road, East Fork Road and Glendora Mountain Road. Hope you enjoy it. GMR Edited 12 13 13 - YouTube

Here is the one I used. It is pretty pricey, but it is almost annoyingly bright. The video shows just the factory tail/brake light and then adds the Ghost Light. Tail Brake light - YouTube It is from Sound Off Signal and is called a Ghost Light.

I am a retired motorcycle cop and instructor for new motorcycle officers. I have a couple of suggestions you might try for tingling in the hands if you haven't already found a solution. One thing we train our cops is positioning of the hand controls. Make sure there is as little bend in the...

Okay, I only rode motors in OC for 15 years. Guess I'm wrong

I think if you take a close look in the OC you find most of the police bikes are Honda ST1300's.

Would love to go, but have a prior commitment. Hope to be able to make the next one. Thanks for putting this together.

There is another alternative to the seats already mentioned. Some have had success with the Cover/foam replacement from Seat Concepts. The kit is about $160. You can have it sent to you for you to install, or send your seat to them and they will install it for a few dollars more. Here is a...

Welcome to the forum. I think you will really like the NC. Also, have fun with your Commando, I enjoy mine a lot.

24011 of the California Vehicle Code says all equipment (insert lights and lighting) must conform to Federal Standards, and be marked as approved by the Feds. So first off, look at the lights and lighting and see if it shows any marking of approval by the Feds (insert Department of...

I have the Honda factory center stand. I bought HondaBikePro's skid plate and it bolted I with no problem. I have had no issues with the skid plate.
