Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I was hit by cars on two different occasions while cycling. It makes me a more cautious motorcyclist. That and power. I get the hell out of the way by moving to a better location. No longer will I sit back and wait for idiots. I get away from them ASAP.

 

I looked for a second and then caught a heavy hand to the back of my head from my wife who says she “wants me here to see my kids graduate”

whatever the fuck that means

 

I get the same comment every time I bring it up. Even if I say it jokingly.

 

That is and awesome bike! That is what I would get if(when, hopefully) I get a bike.

 

Do it - will open up a whole new world.

Here is my GSA in Death Valley.

 

Haha. I love Ohio. Columbus is like a grown up Sacramento. It’s the state capital but it’s livelier at night. (And like the 16th largest city in the country)
Enjoyed it there but my job has a lot more options here in California. But I’d consider moving back if the right position opened up. I also find the people generally much nicer and the drivers better, although a bit slower (in speed).
But Ohio ain’t for everyone. And there is more to do outdoors here in the great state of California. Plus, we’re closer to other cool states with great outdoors as well. So, not a knock on California, by any means. I like it here, and I like the Midwest as well.

Couple years in and still happy with them

 

Looks like another expensive hobby to me

 

Nope 2013 so paid for a long time ago.

Never had a problem with it and do all the servicing myself so pretty much gas and go.

 

I’m a long time rider. I can tell you I rarely commute on my bike anymore. Why? People are idiots and during commute times, you really need to pay attention. Even when honking the horn on a motor, people are deaf as door nails.

 

Nice bike!

 

I second this - I have been riding all my life and seems the past five-ten years things have gotten out of control. Almost every car I pass the person is looking at their telephone and not the road - this is why I like to play in the Sierras and not in the city.

 

Aaaand they're "Currently Unavailable"

 

If you're ever in Central CA, visit Rockbox.

Andy's got several sets in stock; I've got the same deflators and they're stupid fast at airing down.

 

These look to be the same thing

With a faster bike you can get away from idiots easier though.

You just need to understand that there’s all kinds of people on the road nowadays. Which I’m sure you already do. Whether it be people that aren’t paying attention, sleepy, or just don’t like you, or are mad at the world, or maybe just don’t give a fuck. One thing is for sure is that there’s no appreciation for life anymore.

If I can get followed home and have me and my family threatened to get shot all because I stopped at a stop sign. Then there’s no doubt in my mind there’s going to be some lunatic out there that’ll run you over and still go home and have a good nights rest.

 

I live in Central CA... Where is this Rockbox you speak of?

 

Salinas, CA

 

Look like the same thing to me...

Ordered!


Thanks for looking that up for me brotha!

 

Right on! I'll check it out when I'm over near the coast.

(normally I drive in the opposite direction though lol)
