Stalling your bike in front of people is very embarrassing and can happen to anyone no matter what your skill level is. The slightest release of pressure on the clutch lever can engage the clutch before

This sportbike ride occurs in a rare weather condition that my son chooses to ride in. I have become a fair weather rider that bows out when it is foggy or raining. I don't enjoy the ride if I am getting

This ride started out fine and everything as normal until the very end. The straighter roads let the speed come up and at 4:30 they were doing high 90s or even a 100. Everything was fine until the end

This ride is on a road with easy curves so is more suited to the sport touring bike that Tyson is riding. This allows for higher speeds with less lean in the curves. To me it is smooth elegant and relaxing

This video begins with being blocked by slower moving car traffic and even a slow RV blocking the cars coming in the opposite direction. From 2:30 to 4:00 my son was running a good pace through the straight

This video shows a lot of double yellow car passing as there was a lot of car traffic on this ride. At about 4:00 we passed a group of Harley riders out having their fun. Our pace usually starts out slower

This video shows a ride that is mostly uphill and even through trees and a forested area. I like this video because my son is wearing his oem branded Kawasaki green and white leather jacket instead of

Riders must constantly watch out for road hazards that effect traction or could otherwise find themselves in an accident very quickly. Usually sand on the road does not bother a car that much at all because

This video begins at a traffic light with my son's best riding friends in front of him. Tyson is to his left on a Honda ST1300 sport touring bike. Katharine is in front of Tyson on a Yamaha R6 with her

This ride is about Tyson following my son who rides a Honda ST1300 sport touring bike. This bike is similar to the Kawasaki Concours shown a few days ago. This Honda has a 1300cc engine, 7.7 gallon tank,

This is a blog about impulse decisions and where they can lead you. This road isn't very twisty in this section but must be traveled to get to the great curvy parts. Enjoy the following video of our ride

This is another Saturday ride on the same road. Son had a special effect turned on for the first third of the video while waiting for another rider. It wasn't my fault as I just changed his diapers years

My son leads the ride through some awesome twisty curves. This video has the main view on him so you can see his movements to lean left and right to follow the curves. The front view can be seen in the

My son did a meetup ride on our 2003 Kawasaki Concours sport touring bike that he calls the 'Boatercycle' cause it is big as a boat. This bike has a 1000cc engine, 7.5 gallon fuel tank , is 200 pounds

This is just a lazy day ride to meetup with another rider and then go for pie. The brown fences keep all those pesky apples corraled so they don't get away. At 0:55 in the following video we meet a 1950s

My son swapped bikes with a ZX6R bike owner for a quick run up the mountain. A ZX6R has a 600cc engine which is about 60% of the power of a 1000cc liter engine that we have. The bike is much lighter and

This is a ride around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway CVR located at Desert Center, California. This was my son's first ride there. They run 3 groups there, A, B and C with A being the expert riders and C being

This ride continued through sweeping curves that are much farther apart and not as tight. The pace seems slower even though the speed is faster. Please excuse the shakey camera in the following video.

This video travels through many rural farm properties with brown fences to keep those apples contained. We take this route quite often for the reward in the middle of the ride. We are going for the fresh

This video shows a leisurely ride through sweeping curves at speeds suitable for beginning riders. The female rider in front of my son has a black frenchy bulldog in her front pack on her chest. Her husband
