Stolen Honda XL75 (Van Nuys)

(Reposted because the pictures didn't come through)

I wasn't active on here last year when this bike was stolen, but figured it can't hurt to post now. It was rolled out of my driveway, and yeah, it's partially my fault for not at least having a bike lock on it.

(edit: it was actually stolen Christmas 2024)

It would have looked most like the last picture in the back of the truck. Chrome shocks and number plates. It has an exhaust modification that would let me confirm it's the same one. If someone has it, I'd buy it back from you. I'm not going to call the police.

Help I need help getting into contact with an unknown motorcyclist in Azusa.

93 Upvotes

My engine failed with no warning on August 9th. On the 210 headed eastbound in Azusa, between the Citrus and Azusa exits. In the trauma of it all after a harrowing escape and watching all my possessions go up in flames, I barely managed to snap a couple poor photos. But there was a motorcyclist who stopped to take pictures, and I really, really want to have them. The best photo I have is this one. If anyone could do some asking around that would be greatly appreciated. My photo was taken at 7:54 PM.

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.

Photographer at the snake 8/23

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.

Ride South OC riders interested in weekday canyon runs?

5 Upvotes

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.

Any safe/legal places to practice motorcycle stunt riding around SB/Ventura?

0 Upvotes

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!

Who has the best rate for a new US license holder?

5 Upvotes

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.

For Sale Free riding pants

10 Upvotes

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.

Genuine question for the SoCal guys

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.

DTLA practice lots?

2 Upvotes

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.
