I think I found the owner on Nextdoor. Not sure if this link will work but I can facilitate contact if necessary: https://nextdoor.com/post/172674982?init_source=copy_link_share

He posted about the theft around 3 weeks ago. I commented on his post with a link to this post just in case. Thanks for looking out!

Skyline up to Rocky Point looks pretty sick. Might give that a shot tomorrow (weather.com said it should be sunny). I've been to 2Stroke a couple of years ago and it really is a bummer what happened, I was excited to grab some coffee and watch motogp. I think Newburg is a little bit further out than I prefer, but I do love a fresh road and pavement quality is a bit of a concern as I like to rail every now and then (try to save my recklessness for the track). Thanks for the routes!!!

None of my bikes had ABS until my last 2, so that would be ~27 years and somewhere around ~15 bikes without. The first thing that struck me about ABS is that it enables me to ride beyond my limits without fear of locking up, and that's a very very bad thing.

The first time it kicked in for me was like an epiphany. I realized I had just done something stupid that could have gotten me killed or seriously injured. I like that it's there if I need it (and it has saved my front end a time or two in stop and go traffic), but I try to forget it's there. The only time I'm really conscious of it is when I disable it off road.

My girlfriend and I use a Scala Rider G9 Powerset. I'd been using a similar one (from a G4 set) for four years until it was stolen recently and I purchased this one.

The sound quality of Scala is excellent and I have zero complaints. It's plenty loud enough, even at freeway speeds. The mic is great and nobody I've ever talked to on it has been aware that I was on my bike. It works really well with Siri too and I've used it quite a bit to listen to incoming texts and dictate replies.

The pairing process is a bit kludgy and switching back and forth between music (we each listen to music off our own phones) and intercom is slow and clunky. Once you get the hang of it, it's a little better, but can be somewhat unpredictable.

The button setup is maddening. It's hard to remember what button does what and they're fairly difficult to feel around for. The navigational hierarchy is kind of dumb and it's easy to get yourself stuck listening to radio static. I've had to pull over and figure it out on more than one occasion.

Overall, I like Scala a lot, but I think next time I need to try a new device, I might give Sena a shot, since people seem to love it so much.
