Truthfully, we are really happy to be here.
My monster should arrive in about 3 weeks.
I am gonna have to get some gear. In HI, wore helmet, jeans, boots and a perf leather jacket... need more leather here.
I am also going to have get used to ALL THESE CARS, feeling like real yokel here in the big city.

Welcome! Glad you made it.

Definitely get some gear. Take a jaunt up to SF one day (but not Monday...they're all closed) and check out some of the shops. They're listed in local resources.

You work in the City, right?  Try Scuderia West.  Great for gear.  Really, really knowledgeable staff.  I also hit up Cycle Gear a few blocks away on Harrison.  They don't know squat, but their selection is ok.  Oops:  somehow forgot the Dainese store.  That's right there as well. --within a coupla blocks.  Great selection (of Dainese) and great & knowledgeable folks. 

Thanks gang.
When is the next MOB get together?

By my calculations that'd be the 25th. But it's not exactly hard to convince us to have an impromptu beer night at Zeitgeist or Ace Cafe. Just post up!

Really. We're ridiculously easy.

Spidey, Thanks for the suggestion.

Went to Scuderia West yesterday. Met salesperson named Crystal. She was a tremendous help.
Very understanding about my limited budget (moving from Hawaii is just crazy expensive).
Got everything I need...pants, jacket, gloves.
Container with the Monster is available tomorrow.
Of course, weather is supposed to suck for the next several days.

Thanks again for the help.

Glad that worked out.  Scuderia is great.  Love them.  BTW, the SF Zeitgeist night is next Thurs.

On my calender!
I'll definitely be there if I can.

Took My first ride in SF today.
Picked up my bike in the City today. Got lost. Drove around in circles in the Mission. Finally found 101 headed home.

My new gear from Scuderia was mostly outstanding. I picked up some AStar gloves that are not warm enough. And my Sidi Air boots (brought from Hawaii) are NO good in the chilly air. I gotta go back to Scuderia and get some warmer boots and gloves.

The ride was great. I even lane split. Which was sweet. I never lived anywhere that it was legal before.

Yeah, your ventilated gear might get used a few days some September. That's about it. Unless of course you move to Phoenix AZ.

But cheer up, it'll get into the 70s pretty soon.

Hell, I enjoyed the cool weather. I have not ridden without being hot in YEARS! I'll hit Scuderia on Tuesday and hopefully show up at Zeitgeist on Thursday

What time were you in there? I was ogling the RSV4 around 11AM...

I was there about 4:30. I also was checkin' out the Aprilla. Did you see the white one in the back?
Luckily there is no way in hell I can afford one right now. So it wasn't too painful to look at. Those things are mean looking. WANT...
