r/MotoLA

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.

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

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.

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.

I live right outside LA county in Ventura county. Im 30m Love canyons I ride pretty quick but safe. looking for people who like to ride to cool places stop and get snacks I ride a Kawasaki z900 just upgraded from a ktm 390 duke with 13K miles of experience. :D

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.

I am considering getting a bike that has been modified:
- It is not too loud but it has a full performance exhaust, with a very different configuration from the original one (V4S with high mount Akrapovič). So it is very obvious
- Decatted. No lambda probes / O2 sensors
- Then the usual tail tidy and Rizoma mirrors. The original mirrors had the front blinkers so no front blinkers

95% of the sport bikes I see around have at least a slip-on,. Many full exhausts and other mods.

Do you get stopped by CHP? Because of noise, plate not visible, blinkers, more important stuff, like a pro decatted exhaust system? If you do, is that usually canyon / mountain roads, city roads, freeway?
