I always ride with a jacket, but till now have just used jeans. I will have to increase my efforts to get a good pair of riding pants or at the very least a pair of Draggin Jeans.

Hey Chris, on the BMW Blog, where I find a lot of the stuff I transpost here, it was said that pants are probably the most overlooked piece of clothing. I have RevIt pants and they are great. Plenty of hip/leg/knee padding and they have a gortex liner so you can wear them in the rain. The liner also blocks wind and therefore they keep warm in the winter. In warmer months, you remove the liner and the pants are vented and stay cool.

Just to show you what pigs guys are, I hooked up with some BMW Forum riders in Alabama. We were discussing this article of this poor woman who had such bad road rash. One of the guys said, "You know, she's still pretty hot, I'd do her without skin...". What a pig. However, the rest of us agreed we would too....

I wanted to thank Lisa Davis for inviting me to join ABioBikers...I didn't even know this blog existed until I saw her at work last week in Foster City. For those of you that don't me, I've been riding for 19 years, sportbikes the entire time. Raced with the AFM in Northern California for five years, and since have done a number of track days and many, many rides around California. With all our weather in 2006, I haven't ridden much yet this year (instead, I've been squeaking in bicycle rides between rain storms), and my 2001 CBR needs to get in for an interval service (32,000 miles!), a new chain and tires, and a Penske shock rebuild, but I will have it on the road very soon and will be posting reports and photos from rides. BTW, I am also a track photographer for Laguna Seca and Infineon Raceways, so I will be posting links to photos from events here if you're interested in seeing them. Be seeing you soon (on the road, I hope)! Here is a link to my current Spo

ABioBikers West - 1st Ride to Alice's Restaurant

Well, the first ABioBikers West Ride to Alice's didn't go exactly as planned. We ended up at Alice's, but unfortunately our ride was a rental Camry. Don't ask. Scott, myself and Meredith (a totally awesome chic and forensic customer) drove up on Thursday, Jan. 29th and hung out with the bikers. It was a gorgeous day. The place was packed with the leather and tattoos folks eating some pretty bad food. But that's not why you go. It was quite nice in spite of the 4-wheels up and back. Thanks, Scott! Better luck with the next planned ride.
