I have a friend who keeps his ZX12R in his apartment.  He lives in a high bike theft area, so he made a ramp to ride into the lobby of his apartment building, and then into his apartment - he lives on the ground floor.  He does this every time he takes the bike out.  A PITA but he has no choice.


i had a friend with a gsxr 750 that did that. the appartment management made him stop though. something about storing chemicals or insurance or whatever...

My first trip through CA was on the Vulcan, and during the summer so much road construction was a'happ'nin.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of one of the signs, but there was no where to pull over and I had cars behind me.  Sign said "Road Rehabilitation Ahead".  In California you don't fix roads, you rehab them.   :lol:
 



that is so california!  too funny!!!

mine is fairly sane as well, i just do it regularly. on the way to work i go up and over a hill called wolf grade. on heavy traffic days theres a huge line of cars at the light on the other side and the light is only on for a short time so i have to split between the cars on my left and a little drainage ditch about 2-3 feet deep with a sharp drop off. generally i have about 9-10 inches of room for my tires so it gets a little hairy, i've been lucky so far.

If off road counts? Barstow to Vegas the day after Turkey Day in the early 70s before they discounted the race because of the endangered desert tortoise.  

Finished once out of 4 tries but Vegas was a ball every time :evil:

Eureka, Humboldt County, California. Going down the west coast I always try to avoid this town but am always forced to get gas there. Burned out hippies trudge down the streets like The Walking Dead, 7-11 clerks wear open sidearms, people stare at you weirdly as you're gassing up. Helicopters flying around with infra red, the area is scattered with pot farmers. I've heard you can't hike the hills there without getting shot.

If the bike was any bigger it wouldn't have made it up the spiral staircase. A superb bit of riding. Unbelievable.
