I took my MSF on the Grom. Extremely beginner friendly. It does look ridiculous though. I’m 6’1’’ and definitely felt like a giant on it. Oddly enough they gave me and the 6’5’’ guy the Groms because they had the highest seat height, so comparatively I didn’t look quite as ridiculous.

Are you going to do some Lanesplitter/IndefinitelyWild stuff while you’re out on the west coast, or did they make you go back home right after?

It looks like Johnson Leather is the go to spot in San Francisco. I live near a lot of leather shops here, but they’re different types of leather shops...

Awesome, thanks for the link!

Any chance of a write-up on that process? I think in general people don’t use a tailor enough so it would be great to see a before and after picture of an off-the-rack piece of gear and then the final tailored piece to see the difference. And maybe some info on how to find a good tailor and what to look for in a moto…

Is it possible to get alterations on moto gear? I know it is possible, but what would the tailor need to do in order to make sure that the alterations hold and are as safe as the OEM stitching?

If you had shoehorned break/brake in there you would have hit the trifecta!

where wear the right gear and you wont loose lose the skin on your leg.

Motorcycles need to be featured in more mass media. Nightrider, for bikes. Blue’s Clues - on a Triumph, ret-con Boy Meets World and Mr. Turner never gets in a motorcycle accident and never gets written off the show, in the next Avengers movie - a 15 minute set piece of Captain America commuting to work on his Harley,…

The most important thing to do if your car, wheels, motorcycle, etc... are stolen is to make it as easy as possible for the cops to recover the bike. They do not want to waste time looking for your shit so you have to look for your own shit, then even when you do find your shit, you have to keep bugging them about it…

Please film this.

Are motorcycle jeans dry clean only? Or any other special care with them? Or are these the type of jeans you just shove in the freezer once they start funking up?

A Sentra for $500/month for 6 years!?!?! Holy shit that car salesman probably had to change his pants after you left the dealership.

Did Amendola give away that football? Ha, that will be a nice ransom for the fan in the endzone.

Starred for bonerville.

Click through to the Facebook link to the guys defense of the 49ers fans, it’s hilarious.

There were a few people taking pictures at the event last night, I haven’t seen anything uploaded yet. I took some pictures and video on my phone but the other folks were lugging around their DSLRs so it wouldn’t compare. The thing the struck me in the presentation is when they show the stock bike and then transition…

Any news on that Yamaha scrambler competitor? I’ve been reading it will be Europe only and it make me really sad.
