Orange County Motorcycle Crash

Hwy 5 Orange County Motorcycle Crash

WRONG WAY HEAD ON California MOTORCYCLE CRASH

Car was wrong way going southbound in the carpool lane of the northbound 5 freeway near Main Street in Santa Ana California.

Are you aware that California has the most registered motorcycles out of any other state in the union? Naturally most of those motorcycles are registered in Southern California. I mean with our great climate, and being able to ride from the beach to the mountains usually within an hour or so, makes Southern California probably one of the best places to ride a motorcycle.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to motorcycle riding here in Southern California. California has perhaps the highest gas tax in the country. Plus, because the State was using just 20% of the gas tax money to maintain the highways, they were in terrible condition. To solve this problem, instead of using more of the dedicated gas tax money, the politicians in California, earlier this year, decided to jack up the gas tax by over $.12 a gallon on top of what we were already paying. Now, that’s just the current gas tax increase, because this same legislation increases the amount of gas tax every year! (more…)

How to install motorcycle fuel filter

How to install motorcycle fuel filter

Changing out or cleaning your motorcycles fuel filter on an annual basis will not only keep your bike riding well, but prevent costly carburetor repair and/or rebuilding.

I used to clean my motorcycles fuel filter on an annual basis but it just slip my mind, and on a recent ride up to the mountains here in San Diego, my bike stalled out three times. Luckily, I was able to get it restarted and ended up writing it home without any further stalls. But, it could very well ended up that I would’ve had to call a towing service to get my bike back home. (more…)

This is the first use of my new 360° VR camera to video a motorcycle ride. the camera is a Insta360 One, that records in 4K resolution. For best possible viewing results, change the resolution of this video up to 4K and full-screen, if your device can handle it without buffering. If you have a problem, just lower the resolution until it plays back correctly.

Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Chopper Motorcycle Ride

This chopper motorcycle ride departed early from College Avenue and Highway eight in San Diego with three chopper motorcycle riders. One of the riders, Jose, came down from Oceanside California. We left early in the morning to avoid the August hot weather. Because of the hot weather, we chose to write up the Mount Laguna and the old gold mining town of Julian California.

So, starting at a couple hundred feet elevation, we ended up going up in elevation to 4,226 feet! once we got up to Mount Laguna it was just perfect blue skies with a couple of clouds and great motorcycle riding weather! (more…)

San Diego Chopper Motorcycle Ride

A warm July custom chopper motorcycle ride to the last day of the Comic-Con Convention in the Gaslamp district of downtown San Diego California.

San Diego Chopper Motorcycle Ride

For best viewing, change the settings to the highest HD quality and be sure to go full screen …

There were three chopper motorcycle riders from Orange County, and for chopper motorcycle riders from San Diego. Sure, seven motorcycle riders are pretty small group, but what made our group unique, is the fact that all the bikes were exceptionally good-looking, high-powered choppers.

Chopper motorcycles have been out-of-favor for a number of years. Yes at many motorcycle get-together, I’d say there are at least 20 to 30 baggars for every one chopper motorcycle. There is no doubt, for long rides, it is sure convenient to have those large saddlebags, multi-speaker stereo systems, large windshields, GPS, gas gauge and a huge gas tank. (more…)

HAPPY Motorcycle 4th. of July!
