11 years of owning various motorcycles and zero cars. Probably 50K miles altogether. My first year of riding I put 10K on a Rebel 250. I miss that little guy sometimes.

I have to be honest, I was expecting a different thread. If you look closely you can see the child has made a clear choice in toy selection. Nothing like a motorcycle to make you forget about your He-man figurines.

Don't say I didn't warn you. I was out and wanted to see what the flip video could do. You want to know what's dangerous? Riding around with a video camera in your left hand, particularly if it doesn't have a lanyard. Flip Video Motorcycle Cam - YouTube

That's what the cop said also- he asked "Why didn't you just lane split out of there? You'da gotten away" I replied something about being more scared of that ticket than an Unsafe Lane Change, but it neither witty nor smooth. Lane splitting is about the only thing I miss about Cali. The...

This. Except I'm going to steal the first KLR I find and ditch the street bike.

Spunky- That last part happened so fast that I'm not convinced he was trying to hit or hurt you. Here's what I mean: -the 'chase' has gone on a few minutes now and is in a sort of stasis while you wait for him to make the next move -He's been running stops and lights constantly, which...

He looks like he has no other choice, not too much room between the bike and the asphalt for him to fit in there. It's been a rough start to 2012. The pic on the left is from going 2 mph over the limit through Neah Bay, WA (reservation police.) I took him on a virtual tour of the luggage...

Spunky, I've been doing a lot of thought about how to express my displeasure to other drivers safely, and this story is a perfect lead-in to my devious plan. My current plan is to install a scala headset with the Transmit button wired to my horn button. I'll then replace the horn with a...

No, that's not how the physics work out. It's not the amount of liquid in the tube, tube diameter, etc. All that matters is the height of fluid inside the tube. Those tubes could have curly-q's in them and it would still be 100% precise as long as there were no air bubbles in the lines...

It's odd, this is the first it has ever occurred to me that the name Willys is remarkably similar to the phallic plural "willies." I very nearly faux pas'd myself.

I have a problem with this mode of thought. It's too broad of a generalization and overly pessimistic. I'm pretty sure it's only uttered when a salty appearance is desired. At the very least, it should be "those who have and those who haven't" which is more accurate because it doesn't involve...

I'd like to add my name to the Willys Love registration list. Never had one, always coveted. The '66 CJ5 I used to drive was playskool in comparison.

Here's my other vehicle: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
