Shoei RF1100 post accident review
Seeing as I just put my helmet to the ultimate test by going head first into an embankment I though i would share my thought on how its performed.
I've had the helmet for about a year. It has had some small issues since the day I bought it but nothing big...
did a deal about 3 weeks ago with nastybutler for a bar end, mirror,blinker,clutch lever and windscreen. everything arrived today in good shape.
I'm a happy camper
I'm starting to think this summer has something out for me. I lowsided in april and broke my arm. after healing up from that i had some stomach problems and a sinus infection that didn't want to go away.
To top it all off I slammed into a dirt embankment on the FZ yesterday while trying to...
In the north SF Bay we have this beautiful little road called Skaggs Spring Rd. It is where bikers go to ride locally. It was built and maintained by the Army Corp of Engineers as an evac route from the coast and is super smooth and just fun as hell.
This is some video i shot some months ago...
So as many of you know i laid my bike down in april and i am finally able to start buying parts to make her pretty again. Hoping i can find some freeby/cheepies for some of these parts since they are usually the first things people mod. so here is a starter list of parts i need. I may need more...

I had t-rex 3 mount no cut frame sliders on my bike and they completely failed at doing their job. the slider on the side that hit the ground broke off. I was only going about 35 mph. I...
day 3 of my highway 1 motorcycle adventure and i layed the bike down. I was cruising the pacific coast highway in Santa Monica and the car in front of me decided to slow and turn fast with no blinker. I had just turned my head to see if the other lane was open so i could pass him and when i...
just finished installing my usb charger on the FZ and snapped a couple pics. also took a couple pics of the T-Rex frame sliders i installed a few weeks ago.
the USB charger was incredibly easy to install. red is hot, black is negative. route the wires safely and mount the charger. piece of...
Can't wait. in 2 weeks i take off for vacation. I live near SF and i'm going to ride down to San Diego. I think I'm going to follow highway 1 for as long as it stays interesting then cut back to normal roads. i'm planning on taking 2-3 days to do the ride so i can take lots of breaks and sight...
Went riding out by the golden gate bridge area to get some footage. it was a slow ride around the headlands but such a beautiful area ya kinda want to go slow and look around so no need to go faster
