Buell See Through
Those are pretty cool. I think they put em on all of the Buells in the 07/08 years. You oughta see the yellow version, gives you a high contrast view of the airbox!

A group of us went on a little Memorial Day ride Monday to Stinson Beach and backside twisties up by Fort Cronkhite. We all had a blast. Of course we hit up the burger place in Sausalito. To end the day we stopped off at Mitchells for some ice cream. MMMMM Mexican Chocolate!
I went to the Dainese Store today to check out the races on their big screen. Moto GP and World Superbike. I was a bit lazy and only made the World Superbike showing. Ben Spies pulls a double win in Utah. It was a good race and there was a lot of swapping places for 3rd, 4th, and 5th. My favorite rider Haga didn't fare so well. He managed to pull 9th for race one and 8th for race two. He's still ahead in the standings but Spies can easily catch up. Don't get me wrong I like Spies too. Some of my other riders I was cheering on are Zemke, and Kiyonari.
The great thing about Nor-Cal is we are blessed with so many twisty roads. Here's an old picture I found of my Bro and I exploring side roads off of Hwy 1 near Half Moon Bay.
My Bro
A twisty road that ran for about two miles that was so much fun and perfect for the Supermotos. Just as long as you didn't fall off the cliff face.
Here's a random picture of a nice supermoto decked out for the track.
Here's a picture reflecting from my DRZ at Alpine lake on Fairfax Bolinas Road. It was the first time Reg went on this road. We had to go very slow because Reg didn't know the road and plus its a very tight and technical road and she's relatively new to the twisties.
The funny little side note to this mirror is that it came off at a gas station in Fairfax. Lucky Reg saw it fall from my bike. I just glued the mirror back on last night hopefully I'll have no more problems with it. Mirrors like this should be vibration proof especially if they're going to be installed on a single.
The only thing that pissed me off today was vehicles going over the double yellow in blind turns. What is it with cars that think they have skill blowing the double yellow line in blind turns. This is the kind of driving that will eventually get someone killed. I see it all the time. People trying to straighten out a turn by blowing the double yellow. Isn't the point of hitting the twisties is having fun in the curves. Anyone can push a pedal in a straight line.
