    Replace helmet?

    So after my accident tues morning my insurance asked me to email pics of any damaged safety gear which was mostly my jacket and gloves. But my helmet seems perfectly fine. No indication it even touched the ground. So I didn't claim it. Now I'm reading that even with nothing visibly wrong it...

    High rev after shifting.

    So this one was kind of odd. I'm going to get on the freeway and it's a on ramp you have to get a bit aggressive with. Cars getting on and off very busy so you pretty much need to haul ***. As I'm up shifting I get into 5th and the rpm's hit 5k when I hear the motor rev really high. I look down...

    Failed skills test

    Went and took my skills test today and unfortunately failed. Put a foot down which is a auto DQ. Anyone else have a hard time with the Ca skills test on their 6r. Seems like the test was made for much smaller bikes. Sent from the second bathroom stall to the left.

    2011 Yamaha Stryker

    Brother in law finally got sick of his 83 nighthawk and got this yesterday. I'm not the biggest fan of cruisers but damn this thing is nice. Got it with 999 miles on it and it was well taken care of. Great riding position, gobs of torque and a plush ride. 1300 cc that moves when you need it to...

    California exhaust law

    So after a ton of reading it seems that you can have a aftermarket exhaust but it has to conform to the new laws which means custom systems are out. Does the two bros or m4 systems have a EPA sticker on them? I'm no law expert so here's a link of the law if anyone wants to chime in...

    New gear

    Finally got my icon super duty 4 boots in. These things feel great. While I was at cycle gear I also picked up a Stryker vest for some protection despite the heat. Sent using Jedi mind tricks!

    Tank pad from cycle gear a bust.

    Not sure if its just a cheap pad or what but the one I put on 2 days ago came apart. The pad separated from the adhesive side. Not sure if it can't take the heat so to speak. Any ideas? I'm returning it for another but not sure if its worth it. Sent using Jedi mind tricks!

    Random starting hiccup

    So I've had no problems with the 6r so far. Only has 300 miles on it. Went out to a bike show today and after leaving about a hour or so later popped the key in pressed the start switch and click. Three times. Had to give it some throttle to get going. Starts fine now. Any similar experiences.

    Hello from Northern California.

    Names Jeremy. Fairly new rider. Rode some dirt bikes and a few friends bikes before but this is my first owned bike. After a few years of *****ing to the wife I picked up a 2013 a little under a month ago and am loving every minute of it. Look forward to some good talks about a new found passion.
