What's your 'old standby' route when you need to go out and stretch your bike's legs? Mine's gotta be Sunrise Highway via Ramona, stopping at Kountry Kitchen for some dang bacon. What's yours?

24F turning 25, looking for girl rider friends

9 Upvotes

hi everyone:) i’m a newer female rider and i’m hoping to make some friends with other women who ride, preferably around my age/in their 20s!

i have my motorcycle license and took the MSF course so i know the basics, but i’m still not super comfortable riding on the streets by myself yet. i’d really love to meet some more experienced women riders who wouldn’t mind helping me build my confidence and showing me the ropes a little more. i ride a 2016 ninja 300 and i’m currently getting it back into riding shape after it sat for a while. i’d love to learn more about basic maintenance, get some practice riding with someone experienced, and eventually have people to go on rides with!

i used to have someone i relied on for motorcycle help but after that relationship ended i realized there was a lot i never actually learned for myself. i still LOVE riding and really want to become more independent and confident with my bike, i just feel like having some supportive girl friends around who have more experience would make the process a lot less intimidating 🫩

i’m not looking for someone to do everything for me or babysit me lol i genuinely want to learn and i’d just love to have someone i can ask questions, practice with, and hopefully become friends with along the way.

if you’re in your 20s, ride, and would be down to connect, please comment or DM me <3

Mechanic?

4 Upvotes

Heyo, I bought a 2019 Ninja 400 that had been sitting in its spot (luckily covered) for a few years. I do not have a license yet, nor a way to move it from the spot it’s in. It’s at my friend’s house.

Basically looking for a mechanic that could/would go pick it up and tune it up?

Looking for a few San Diego riders to test a pre-ride route briefing tool

7 Upvotes

I’m a San Diego rider with a background in maritime and aviation navigation, and I’m developing an early web-based tool called Ride Brief.

The concept is loosely inspired by the way mariners use coast pilots and sailing directions to understand a route before departure. A rider uploads a GPX route, and Ride Brief creates a geographically ordered briefing describing road character, elevation, major transitions, places along the way, and relevant historical safety information. The route and briefing information are also presented on an interactive Google map.

It is intended for pre-ride orientation—not turn-by-turn navigation and not for use while riding.

I’m looking for a few Southern California riders willing to test the Alpha using a real route and provide candid feedback. Riders familiar with Ramona, Julian, Palomar, Idyllwild, or similar roads would be especially helpful.

Ride Brief uses GPX route files. If you are not familiar with creating or uploading a GPX file, let me know and I can help. The site also includes several sample routes, so you can explore a finished brief without uploading your own route.

There is no charge, and I’m not selling anything at this stage. The test site currently runs temporarily from a standalone computer, so I’ll send the link privately and arrange a testing window.

I’m mainly interested in whether the briefing helps you form a clearer mental picture of the road, what information is useful, and what feels confusing or unnecessary.

Comment or message me if interested. I’m initially looking for about five testers.

Has been parked on my street for two weeks. Steering is unlocked but ignition is intact. Maybe someone tried to steal it jump starting it and just left it there. Doesn’t belong to anyone on our street. Looks like a SVS 650..

Any one down to ride tonight or this weekend. I have several bikes and would like to find someone that likes riding as well. Preferably sport bikes but I can bust out the Harley or the scooter if you got one of those too. I'm 37M.

Somebody please educate this chik on how dangerous it is for this dog to be riding with her like that (as opposed to in a sidecar, on a low bike; which is far less likely to have even a minor accident, let alone a significant one).

DIY garages/bays

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there are any DIY garages where you can rent a spot to work on your motorcycle? or alternatively, if established shops do rent a spot?

I have my own tools and anything. I just need a spot, lift would be a plus but not needed.

(M32) Looking for a group to ride with.

3 Upvotes

I’m based out of North Park and just got my first motorcycle. It’s a 2026 Indian Scout Bobber. I’m having a great time so far but don’t know anyone else who I can ride with and would love to meet some people who have experience and are down to hang.

I’ve been interested in riding ever since I got out of high school and only recently had the means to incorporate riding into my lifestyle. My plan is to cruise around and get my bike to the point where I have a good amount of storage for camping.

Let me know if you’re interested in meeting up!
