This is a long shot. Requesting footage of a motorcycle accident that occurred last Tuesday 8/18 on the 10 East around 5:30 by the Overland exit near Santa Monica/Culver City. My husband was injured after getting cut off by a driver. Thank you.

I rode up the snake yesterday afternoon and was surprised to see a photographer at the top hairpin at such a late hour (~7pm).

Anyone know who that was? Would like to buy the photo as the lighting was pretty perfect.

I’m 37 and live in South Orange County. I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and enjoy getting out almost daily for weekday canyon runs.

I’m looking to meet a couple of other riders around my age who enjoy spirited but responsible canyon riding. Ideally, I’d like to find a few consistent people for weekday rides, but I’m also open to weekend canyon sessions, longer rides and more relaxed cruises.

I currently ride an Indian FTR, a GasGas SM 700, and a Triumph Daytona 675, so I’m generally looking for experienced riders who enjoy the twisties and ride at a compatible pace. No huge group rides or unnecessary pressure to ride beyond anyone’s comfort level—just a few solid people who enjoy riding regularly.

I’m based near Aliso Viejo and normally ride around South OC, Ortega, Santiago/Live Oak, PCH cruise and occasionally farther into San Diego, Riverside or the mountains.

If that sounds like your kind of riding, comment or send me a message with your general location, what you ride and when you’re normally available.

Hey everyone, looking for some recommendations around Santa Barbara/Ventura.

I’ve been getting into stunt riding on my Harley and I’m looking for somewhere I can safely practice without pissing off neighbors, bothering businesses, or having the cops called on me.

Ideally I’m looking for a big private lot, designated area, or somewhere I could get permission from the property owner to practice things like wheelies and low-speed bike control without being around traffic or pedestrians.

I’m totally willing to drive a little ways outside of SB/Ventura if there’s a good spot, and I’d much rather find somewhere I’m actually welcome than keep guessing where I can ride.

Anyone in the motorcycle/stunt community around here know of a spot, private property owner, riding area, or group I should reach out to?

Appreciate any leads!

Anyone in Socal wanna ride today. Short or semi long. IE area

2023 Honda Rebel 1100, garaged in the Valley, pleasure use, about 7,000 miles a year, no accidents or tickets. I rode in France for over ten years but only got my US license in 2026, so I have zero insurance history here, and my quotes reflect that.

I am with Progressive right now and looking to compare before renewal.

Who are you with, what are you paying, and did anything actually bring your premium down?

Thanks a lot.

UPDATE: CHP found my bike!!! It was abandoned on the side of the freeway out of gas.

if anyone sees this bike for sale, or out and about, I'd appreciate a dm. it was nabbed off the street last night.

1995 900ss/cr with aftermarket fairing, fcr carbs, silmoto cans, woodcraft clip on, and vortex levers.

ride safe.

I have a pair of Tourmaster Quest pants in size XL that I dug out of an old closet. They're practically new with no damage. They come with the interior liner for water/wind proofing.

I wear a size 38 waist. Can snap the snappers with the right amount of strength. Would probably be good for a 32- 36. I wore them at 34.

Not the prettiest if youre looking for a fitted/stylish look but they'd protect your skin in a low speed accident.

Looking to give away to a new rider or someone in need.

Pick up in Huntington Park/Maywood.

So, I was wondering if my fellow CA riders experience this - riding along, basically chilling, and the car in front of you moves over to the left and now you feel compelled to pass and give them a wave for their courtesy. But I was just chilling

Traffic was crawling along, and I only caught a glimpse in my peripheral because I was three lanes over and it must have just happened right before I passed it. Multiple cars stopped to help. He looked to be moving.

I hope he's ok. Stay safe, everybody.

Hi guys, I live in an apartment without parking in East Hollywood on Sunset. I’m looking for a safe parking that I can pay for. Do you have any suggestions?

I live right outside LA county in Ventura county. Im 30m Love canyons I ride pretty quick but safe. looking for people who like to ride to cool places stop and get snacks I ride a Kawasaki z900 just upgraded from a ktm 390 duke with 13K miles of experience. :D

Hi all, I need to practice riding my ninja 300 before I go back to college but unluckily for this situation I live in the middle of DTLA (right by crypto) so it's seemingly never calm enough on the road to practice on without traffic.

If anyone knows any empty lots (day or night) near the Ritz, please lmk. Also it would also be pleasant to know of any side streets that are calm with almost no cars at night that are connected to the main roads of DTLA so I don't have to take the highway to get anywhere to practice.

Please share and keep an eye out for my 2024 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto.

I am considering getting a bike that has been modified:
- It is not too loud but it has a full performance exhaust, with a very different configuration from the original one (V4S with high mount Akrapovič). So it is very obvious
- Decatted. No lambda probes / O2 sensors
- Then the usual tail tidy and Rizoma mirrors. The original mirrors had the front blinkers so no front blinkers

95% of the sport bikes I see around have at least a slip-on,. Many full exhausts and other mods.

Do you get stopped by CHP? Because of noise, plate not visible, blinkers, more important stuff, like a pro decatted exhaust system? If you do, is that usually canyon / mountain roads, city roads, freeway?

Just got a job offer that would mean commuting on the 5 about 15 miles each way. I'm a casual rider, and my bike got stolen about 2 years ago, but I'm strongly getting another bike so I can commute that way rather than sitting in stop-and-go traffic for an hour each way. How is the 5 between Dodger Stadium and Downey for lane-splitting? Anything to be aware of? Thanks.

Edit: Based on the comments, I'm thinking this is probably not a great idea. Thanks for the help, everybody.

No affiliation. I bought this thing off eBay called the GasCard. It's made by a guy in Long Beach. It holds the vapor recovery sleeve on fuel nozzles so you don't have to when you gas up your bike. Holy cow! It made fueling so much easier and it's the size of a credit card (though thicker). Costs 6 or 7 bucks. I always hated that struggle with my left hand compressing the sleeve while my right operated the trigger while simultaneously keeping the nozzle aimed properly. Now I can calmly and easily fuel my bike. I highly recommend this thing.

Update: I bought it! And the guy selling it trusted me to try it :)Human contact always makes the difference.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a Honda Rebel 1100T DCT, and I found a great used 2023 model that I'm seriously considering.

The problem is that I haven't been able to test ride one. Every private seller I've contacted has declined because of liability concerns, which I completely understand. I also reached out to a few Honda dealerships, but none of them were willing to offer a test ride either.

I'd really like to ride one for a few hours, or even just half a day, before spending $9,000 on it. I have a valid motorcycle license, riding experience, and I'm more than happy to pay for a rental.

Does anyone know where I could rent a Rebel 1100 DCT or 1100T DCT in the Los Angeles area? Or if anyone here owns one and rents it through Riders Share or another platform, I'd love to hear from you.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and ride safe! 🏍️

I've always had this fear on the 110 + 105 transition on express lane, and it's happened. Be safe everyone.

Actually it looks like it's just the normal transition, not express lanes, but still...

"A motorcyclist has died after going over the edge of a freeway interchange in Los Angeles and falling onto a street below, California Highway Patrol officials said early Monday.

The incident occurred around 11:20 p.m. on the wide, curving interchange road that connects the eastbound 105 Freeway to the southbound 110 Freeway leading to San Pedro, the CHP said. The connector was closed until around 2:15 a.m.

According to the CHP, a solo-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle was reported just before 11:20 p.m. Monday, with a caller indicating that the person fell onto the street below.

The motorcyclist was found near South Figueroa and West 117th streets. They were pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said."

Hi everyone, curious if anyone knows of a motorcycle mechanic or even just someone knows a bit about bikes? I’m a new rider with a 2024 Honda rebel 300 that’s trying to crank but not starting. I just started it a couple weeks ago and went out of town.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Obviously I’d pay for your services. Located in Burbank, CA

Edit: just swapped for a new battery, just getting a slow crank like it wants to start.

Also, I just noticed a small stain on ground under charcoal canister that smelled like gas. And the oil level is higher than last time I looked at it.
