California motorcycle shows

California motorcycle shows

Here in Southern California there are quite a lot of Hot-Rod and motorcycle shows. Probably the vast majority of the shows, because they are mixed with Hot-Rods and motorcycles, only provide a trophy for the best in show for motorcycles while the Hot-Rods usually have a number of categories for trophies.

Ironhorse Texas Chopper

As far as motorcycle only shows, there are just a few. Most of these, almost always have numerous categories as well as the best in show. Personally, I think these are the only fair way to judge motorcycles for these types of shows. Really, how would you judge a beautifully it restored flat track racer against a totally custom chopper?

Also, having attended a lot of the shows, I think we’re really lucky here in Southern California because a lot of the shows are totally free to enter, as they are supported by the local merchants/Chamber of Commerce in order to have an event that draws lots of people into their business areas.

Insta360 One – 360° video camera

360° video camera for motorcycle rides

As far as the new Insta360 One camera is concerned, I’m actually considering selling my GoPro Hero 5 Black camera because of all the features and ease-of-use of the Insta360 One camera! For motorcycling or any action sports, I think the value this camera presents is hard to beat!

The best way to view this motorcycle ride, would be on your large-screen Smart TV in high definition. This short video was taken just after sundown riding from El Cajon California to San Diego California. The motorcycle in the video is a 2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper. (more…)

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…)
