Spotted a sweet looking red and black Yamaha R6 on 880 this weekend. Snapped a side view, when the rider saw the camera bounced it up and rode a long standup wheelie.

Where's the Beach?

Where's the Beach?

Saw this rider on Highway 80 around Dixon, and it wasn't even hot. Riding the freeway at 75mph in beach gear is not a good idea. Skin grafts really hurt.

Curb Burnout

Curb Burnout

Hooligans have been around a long time. Before rolling burnouts and power wheelies there was the curb burnout. Here my friend Blake shows us how it's done on his new CB350F.

Where's the Gear?

I'm getting onto 880 north from HWY 92 the other day and I see a new Yamaha R6 behind me. As the rider passes me I notice several things:

  1. Nice new bike, red windscreen and red Micron slip-on to match the bike.
  2. The rider is wearing a jacket, shorts, tennis shoes and NO GLOVES!!! Are you kidding me? Why does someone spend the money on a new bike and aftermarket stuff and not wear the proper gear?

Is it any wonder that insurance keeps going up, skin grafts are not cheap.

Please wear your gear at all times.


Assault with a deadly weapon

CHP officer fires on motorcyclist on I-80 [SFGate.com]

A California Highway Patrol officer fired at a speeding motorcyclist who refused to pull over Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

It was unclear whether the shot struck the motorcyclist, who got away and was still being sought Sunday night, authorities said.

The incident began at 12:07 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 80 in American Canyon, where a CHP officer clocked two motorcycles speeding at 85 mph, according to CHP spokesman Marvin Williford. The CHP officer began pursuing the riders and attempted to pull over both of them. One, however, exited I-80 at Red Top Road and then re-entered I-80 westbound while the second motorcyclist continued east on I-80.

A second CHP officer was west on I-80 and had been monitoring the pursuit. At the Columbus Parkway exit in Vallejo, the officer pulled over a motorcyclist who matched the description of the first fleeing biker. The officer, however, realized he had the wrong biker when he spotted the fleeing motorcyclist coming off Columbus Parkway in his direction, Williford said.

The officer stepped off his bike and waved for the fleeing motorcyclist to stop, but the rider instead accelerated toward the officer and the officer opened fire, Williford said.

[snip]

Accelerating your motorcycle towards a police officer can be considered a "threatening move", apparently. Never mind that it's a hell of a lot easier to get out of the way of an oncoming motorcycle. Any way you slice it, this was a bad scene. I can appreciate the position a police officer might find himself in - but the action seems a bit extreme.
