I was standing in front of Broggans when the 6 Velos came thumping down the hill in a line. What a beautiful picture, hope someone got it on film or we will...
I've had a couple people ask for more detailed info about day 2 of my trip. So, I'll be more exact in my travel info. Depending on your map/atlas etc. When...

Can't seem to keep the intake valve adjusted. It tightens up quickly. I'll give it another shot Saturday. The last adjustment went south after about 200 Miles....
Possibly worn out valve or valve seat. Hardened valve face (where it contacts the seat) may be worn through leaving only soft metal which wears down pretty...

For this to work, the cagers have to be thinking that there is some benefit to this, otherwise they just get mad. Many drivers will get hopping mad simply...

Tom, I agree with everything you say. Even in California there are the the uninformed motorist that thinks they should call the cops or open their doors into...
You are dead on right Dan--but my remembrance of the speed was that 7 mph over the existing traffic flow was the accepted differential--(we're talking CA)-- I...
Maybe the lane-splitting notion could be approached in a graduated way. I read that Massachussetts just passed a law where they permit cycles to pass slow (<15...
I recently recieved an email from a Thumper Motorcycle group in England that was seeking a discount for their members. I thought about it, and replied with...
I agree that a law providing for lane splitting has a snowballs chance... We have a lot of the Scandanavian - Northern European mindset that says that we all...

Larry - ... Funny how those who do it wonder how those who don't can get along without it, and those who don't often have the strongest opinions about it...
Besides the traffic flow and fuel conservation arguements for allowing motorcycles to split lanes, also consider that many bikes are air cooled, and many...
What's the law here, Mark? For automobiles or all vehicles? Just to play devil's advocate, what about the mandated lights on newer automobiles and trucks that...

Mark - ... If it is not illegal, why is it not strictly legal? The California Highway Patrol webpage at <http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html> says: "Can...
Everything you mention leads me to confirm my "permissable but not legal" comment. If it was Legal, then the biker would not be at fault in an altercation. It...
Mark - ... Maybe it is a matter of interpretation. I am not an attorney, so I can't say you're right and I am wrong, or vice-versa. I guess I don't see the...
I just read in the Olympia newspaper that the Tumwater police bought 2 F650 GS-P (Police) models for city traffic etc. use. Since the public are used...

Don - ... I saw it. Figured the owner must have balls of steel to ride on a saddle that looks like it slopes 30 degrees or more to the tank. Even so, I was...
