For those of you that don't live here, this is how we roll 350 days out of the year: I feel like there's a good amount of CA goons in SoCal or the surrounding areas that mostly come out of the woodwork from time to time, now it's time for you to show yourselves  This could be more than a ride thread, but a work on bikes, talk poo poo about cell phone users or even discuss (SPORTS TEAM) thread. So, who lives where? Should include that I'm in El Segundo, right near LAX. Frozen Pizza Party fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Mar 15, 2014 |

March 29th 11a - 4p Del Amo Motorsports is having a stuntfest thing. Watch dudes drop their bikes, and perhaps do some tandem burnouts. There will be food, music and terrible squiddery. I'll probably be going just to laugh at the amount of icon field armor present. https://m.facebook.com/events/660536423987551/

I do, sending you a PM. He's my good friend's dad. Double edit: What kind of legal recourse are is he looking for, does he want the guy to go to jail or does he want to get a shitload of money from the guy's insurance (assuming he's not at fault).

Chichevache posted:What would that do for me? Going up in the front would put you at less RPM at 70-80mph. Same as going down in the rear. More speed, less acceleration. Going down in front or up in the rear does the opposite. More low end grunt, less top end speed.

Sagebrush posted:I've heard that most bikes read about 10% over out of the factory, just to guarantee that the manufacturer doesn't get sued by someone going 62 at an indicated 60. When an indicated 60 means you're actually going 54 you're pretty safe. Nope, I'm just a derp and way exaggerated it most likely. It felt slow as poo poo. It also got wrecked by some jerkwad, so RIP little bike. Frozen Pizza Party fucked around with this message at 03:09 on May 1, 2014 |

I think they're gonna be in Glendale tomorrow in case you wanna hop on one too. Yeah I'm way on the west side though, beach cities. If I can squeeze time I may try to get out there though, thanks!

There is a stunt show too. That's the best part about smell amo's parking lot sales, is seeing all the statistics in one place at the same time!

Angryboot posted:I blame my lack of miles on buzzing around on a 250 half of the week too. 4 miles one way, its just so much easier to get in the car for 15 minutes as opposed to putting all the gear on. I'd squid it up but I learned the hard way about crashing in jeans.

Nitramster posted:I commuted on my viffer for a few storms when I first got it, suprisingly jeans stayed pretty decent, and my cheap rear end bilt vented boots still kept my feet dry BUT that things got a great fairing system for its size. I've got a waterproof tailbag, so I'll stuff clothes in that. As far as cold weather wise goes, I own a hoodie? Also, my commute is 15 minutes, do you think the leather would soak before I got to the office? I feel like leather would be better suited in the wet than mesh for some reason.

EkardNT posted:I'll be in Orange county this week and would love to rent a bike while I'm there. Anyone know of a place which rents any bikes other than cruisers or ninja 250s? (Nothing against the Ninjette, just too small for me) Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car on Sepulveda by the airport has had a slew of white 848's out front. Dunno what they'll run you though, probably a pretty penny.

In my class, one dude dumped his rebel, and I ran over his tank badge which popped my tire. Everyone passed the practical though. The rebel dude dumped it because his boot caught and it freaked him out. Overall we had a pretty successful class, the instructors kept pushing the good riders to ride harder which was fun.
