    Anybody want a Gixxer 1000 in SoCal?

    This guy seems to have made a mistake: 2012 GSXR 1000 "I absolutely hate this sport bike scene." Buying one of the more potent sportbikes out there would definitely qualify as at least a slight miscalculation if that's the case. :squid:

    Not what I expected: CB500F

    Last weekend, I was finally set to pick up my 6R. Found one of the last places in SoCal with a couple of white 2012s at decent prices. Was on my way down there, and stopped for a donut at Randy's, because in addition to be the most recognizable donut place on the planet, they're also really...

    I hate motorcycle sellers!

    Sorry for the rant. Just spent almost an hour on the phone this evening with a seller on a different bike (not a 6R), who seemingly has a perfect bike, most of the accessories I would want for that type of bike, etc. It's a bit out of the area, but worth it for this bike at this price with...

    Icon Airframe Helmet, 2 mesh jackets

    Bought one helmet that was too big, and two jackets that used to fit but are also now too big (yay me!), looking to sell. Icon Airframe Construct helmet. Size LARGE. Retails for $295 with two faceshields. I'm throwing in an additional (mirrored) shield and an extra set of black side-pods. I've...

    The kind of dealers to avoid

    The ones who don't even know what they're selling. Like this 2009 "FZ6": 2009 YAMAHA FZ6 Or maybe this 2005 "FZ-6R", whatever that is: **2005 Yamaha FZ-6R** Or this "2007" FZ6R, (bought new in 2010): 2007 YAMAHA FZ6R Then people wonder why their bikes sit forever and whine that they...

    OC Yamaha closing

    Too bad, because they've always been one of the better, fairer dealers. Guessing that they're just in a difficult location for motorcycle sales, with dealers closer to the bigger population centers on both sides. If you are shopping for a bike or any other stuff they stock, prices are even...

    Idiot driver gets what she deserves

    Waiting for a school bus every morning was too much for her, so she passed them by running up onto the sidewalk every day. The regularity of the offense made it easy to nail her. The judge imposed a rather unique punishment. Cleveland woman ordered to hold 'idiot' sign after sidewalk drive -...

    Fog

    We don't often get really bad fog around here, but when we do it's really bad. Last night was one of those nights. As I was riding home from a continuing education class about 10pm, I noticed my visor fogging up as I got closer to the beach. I popped it up, got a few seconds of clear...

    Suzuki further heats up the 600cc class

    Not exactly a direct competitor for the FZ6R/Ninja 650 sport/standards, but bringing back an SV650 variant and thankfully NOT calling it the "Gladius" anymore is a positive step for the entry-level 600cc class of bikes. Nicely fills in the niche for an aggressively-style naked entry-level bike...

    Yamaha slowly revealing 2013 lineup

    As of this moment, it's just the three dual sports. Don't think the 2013s were there a couple of days ago. Super Sport Motorcycles, Super Sport Touring, Dual Purpose Only change in the dual sports from 2012 is that the XT250 is now fuel injected. I'd expect the lineup to fill out in the...

    Just rode one.... I'm sold

    Went to a Yamaha demo day at OC Yamaha earlier today. Was going to try the FZ6R, FZ8 and FZ1 just for the hell of it, but it became really obvious after riding the FZ6R, that the benefits of the more powerful bikes would almost certainly be completely lost on me at this point. In truth, I...
