    Someone has to grab these Overlap jeans

    I'm real reticent to buy on-line items that need to be a good fit. But, thanks anyway!

    SoCal "Hoonapalooza" June 22 2013

    Yup, photo probably is Jerry (founder of "Jerry Pepsi") returning from the Gatorade run. Afterward, CHP Officer Tracy coasting (sans helmet) Dave's Buell farther down the road (for tow operator) generated a few chuckles ;) Despite the event, it was great being around such a fantastic group of...

    Uh, yes, that's a roger, Cliff. We arrived in SoCal after the all-day ride and I'm sinking $200 fifth whiskey right now with my brother in Carlsbad. See everybody manana. Most tiring part of the ride from NorCal: splitting all the heavy traffic going south on I5!

    I'll be testing the com line with Lefty later this evening, it's a green ligh event and I'm aready thinking about the ride as if walking into an important exam exam or something (involved feeling). Can't wait now. I'm not even checking horiscope for guidance. John, maybe I'll beat you to the...

    Hate my FZ6 right now!

    I hear you about all this! That alarm business is wierd---I have one ("Scorpio," installed myself) and I would dread having to troubleshoot an unfamliar bike and alarm system----I probably wouldn't have the installation instructions and prior knowledge of the model, etc. and I would not want...

    Knocking on the rear wheel

    I know that probably all the parts shops/dealers are similar in pricing, I still am amazed out how high prices are. Even just for something that, if for an automobile, would probably be under $3.00 but, when for a Yamaha, around $20.00. :eek:

    8:00 a.m.? Okay, that's good. Same (I believe) rendez-vous spot at 1711 Airline Highway, Hollister...

    John, (saw your route), why not? :thumbup:"Early enough?" How about 7:00 AM at Hollister McDonald's? (I would leave Sac at 4:30 for that schedule) I would like to arrive in Carlsbad by 7:00 PM Friday (if that's possible with I5 "main" rush hour!!). I could call (you have same cell# as last...

    I think I saw that movie with Matthew Broderick.:D TBH (to be honest)---Confirmation: it's hinging on possible late, bad timing situation that I'm hoping won't pop up. If, on late Thursday, Houston says "all systems GO," break of dawn Friday, I put on my helmet, get on/off boring I5 and do...

    Geez, Wavex, weeks between trips to France? I'd be tempted to not bother even unpacking. :Flash: Speaking of weather, I wonder what's in store for June 22 in SoCal. Hope it's perfect (light breeze, high 90's, no wildfires, sunny and clear).

    I'm still working on a breakout plan, am shooting to be #10 "Hoonapalooza" member. I have to consult my astrologist for clarification ;). If riding, the 76/15 launch pad is in convenient crash range (day ride from Sacto) to my brother's in Carlsbad. :Flash:

    I'm thinking. Might make it but I have to do some more thinking. "Have good thinking, will travel."

    F/S: $5 Parts Buffet!

    I didn't see a shift lever, but if there's one available I'd like to replace my bend one.

    FZ6 Rider Down...

    How does that work insurance wise? Would comprehensive (if you have it) cover that if you don't have collision (and does "collision" cover it?). Yeah, debris and especially ladders on the roadway, what a nightmare about people who don't secure items on their vehicle. Sometimes, I am nervously...

    It's completely legal to filter.

    In ways, the US is to this day still relatively uncultured and elementary. The differences between Europe and US can be dramatic. At times, I'm embarassed to be an American. Fortunately, where I live (California) it's the one state where people don't get underwear in a bunch over motorcyclists...

    Great day for a speeding ticket

    Geesh. In CA completion gets if OFF your record, and insurance doesn't even know about it. It's bunch of B.S. if you ask me... a lot of these tickets for red light camera violations, rolling stop sign, handicap parking violations, even a good number of DUI arrests, and more. In CA (unlike most...
