After I sold my FZ6 and bought a 08 FZ1 I was wanting to own a V Twin (no hardley ablesons for me) that would suite my need for speed and handling plus the suspension for the bumpy back roads of Northern California. In 2012 I traded the FZ1 in on a new left over 2010 KTM 990 Supermoto. That's it...
Scott the Elf in this ad is our son Tom. He has done commercials for Taco Bell and McDonald's but this one for Coke is at another level. He has had a dream to be an actor since he was 12 and with lots of hard work it is paying off. Perhaps someday he will buy dad a new bike in return for the...
Yesterday was another rain day in Northern California so my wife and I jumped into the cage and drove down to Yuba City to visit with her folks. On the way out of town we were eastbound with this big storm cell in our path so I pulled over and grabbed a pic.
Now fast forward a soggy 20...
Being a huge Frank Zappa fan from the 70's and had enjoyed more than one of his concerts with the first being in 1974. So when I read Dweezil Zappa was playing his father's album "Roxy and Elsewhere" in Sacramento, California at the Crest Theater I knew I had to go. Best part is my son Joe also...
Sorry mate but that the way it's going to be. :rockon:
Should be an interesting game and in all truth I doubt either team can make to the superbowl but we can hope.
Temps may be as low as -2 (-19c) during the game. :eek:
That will keep the beer cold. They were showing on the news how...
Some of you may remember I totaled my FJR last fall when a deer went suicidal in Washington state.
I replaced the bike with a Gold Wing and have racked up close to 7k miles on it since then and really like the comfort, power and handling of the Hondapotamas.
The Gold Wing boys have been...
With you mates a day ahead of us perhaps you could tell me who won the Superbowl?
I'm sure it was the 9'rs but I guess I'll have to watch the game after I get back from riding my Katoom today. :BLAA:
This is a repost from the FZ1 forum
So I had this really nice 2004 FJR all farkled up with heated grips,suspension, custom seat and cruise control plus I had close to 90,000 miles on it. Still pulled like a rocket and had no trouble with a buck 50 in Nevada. This trusty steed hauled my butt...
This is from my report on the FZ1 sister site
On Sunday Sept. 16, I met Dustin (a great guy from the FZ1 forum) in Oregon along the Columbia river for dinner and route planning of next days ride to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainer in Washington state. After a good meal and conversation we retired...
So I'm in my work truck driving on Hwy 20 east of Nevada City, Ca on a beautiful somewhat twisty mountain hwy in the tall pines. As I zoom through a nice posted 35 mph curve (easy 50+ on a bike) when I see a five foot 2x4 in the road at slight angle. Mind you this with the trees your forward...
Waddayathink, like my new shirt?
Gayle and I went to the Sacramento Mile last Saturday night at the Ca. State Fair. What fun and as you see there were 2 KTM's! One in the 600 single class and the 990 in the twin class. We didn't win but sure had fun!
These guys drove 43 hours straight...
To celebrate my 25 years as a business owner I traded in my FZ1 for a new 2010 KTM Supermoto T (tour model). I have always wanted a V Twin and I really like to ride the outback roads of Northern Ca but these roads are usually quite rough so a good suspension was in order for these old bones. No...

Well this is a surprise, I was just getting used to rubbing my Aussie mates about Stoner. :Flip: :Flash:
Humm.. will Rossie go back to Honda to snag one more title next year?
I traded in Frank my very fast FZ1 for Karl a new 2010 KTM Supermoto T. Been wanting a V twin after I rode a friends Tuono but also wanted a better suspension for the back mountain roads in these parts.
Today was my first real ride up to Quincy, Ca for lunch at the courthouse cafe and back...
Spotted this good looker chillin' my back yard yesterday.
My frogs play some nice mellow Jazz, it just about fell asleep in the warm sun after some cold wet weather earlier this week.
Time to go. Hey wait, turn around and go eat the farrging rooster my neighbor has. Damn bird starts up at...
