Been lookin for some new places to ride that have some fun intermediate trails as well as beginner trails. I have been to Hollister , Carnegie , Metcalf but have been wanting to try some new stuff. It has to be somewhat beginner friendly for my fiance. Stoneyford , Georgetown , Clear Creek...

I know everyone here hate's on Harley's but I've been to a few dealerships and all of them have been cool. Most of my recent visits to sportbike type dealers have been very disappointing. They answered all my questions with a no pressure attitude and all of them offered test ride's on any of...

SOLD !!!! So I'm selling my VFR (kinda getting over the "sport bike" thing). Previous owner had the the 17k service done .Only had the bike for a short time but it's just not for me . The Lowdown: 20,xxx miles D&D slipon (it sounds good , not annoying) HID headlight newer Dunlop roadsmarts...

Jesse Rooke built these and I for one dig 'em !

So I have this cafe racer project , xs650. I got it in a bunch of boxes from a friend who started it but lost interest. He did some cool things and one of the is the custom cafe style seat. It's made from the back section of a Sportster tank welded onto a piece of steel plate (like 3/8" !!). It...

Anyone here into Speedway ? Have you ever ridden/owned/raced one ? I'd like to at least ride one at some point as it looks super fun and like it'd be great for control practice.

good condition no broken spokes please ! Rich

Hope this isn't a repost ! Ama Vance & Hines Xr1200 Road Racing Series - http://www.amaproracing.com/rr/news/index.cfm?cid=34594 This caught my eye while I was on the site . % race spec series on Xr1200's ! Will it be as cool as the Boxer series ?

The title says it all ! My '01 just isn't that comfortable to me on long rides. I mostly feel it in my right elbow and between my shoulder blades. I am not that tall (6'ish) and not heavy at all (155#). Are helibars the answer ? Are they woth it ? Most vfr owners say how they can ride them all...

I posted here a few weeks ago about a shitty two up ride my fiance and I had . We have gone on a couple rides since and "I" have had a pretty good time and felt fairly confident. Jennifer on the other hand said she is "scared she's gonna fuck up !" She didn't have any problems when I had my F4...

Rode one last year and really liked it.Been thinking of getting of getting one recently (now that they come in black), but never really seen any that are tricked out or modded !? Got any pics ?!!!!

I have an E470 Monolock (47l and it has 2 keys) with the M5M mounting pad . Case will hold 2 full face helmets and is in good condition with a few small scuffs and the pad is new. I'm not going to be able to commute to work with it so I don't need it. $160 for both Rich 650-892-1253 Located...

Looking to buy a stock 929 shock to put on my vfr . Prefer one with lower mileage but lemme know what you have. Thanks, Rich

Can someone please clarify what a 360 degree or 180 degree crankshaft is ? And all other degree's as well . What is the significance of any of them vs another ? I've heard of a "re-phased" engine but it never knew about the crank part of it. Rich

So yesterday my fiance and I decided to go on a ride down Hwy 1, Pescadero Rd to 84 then back up 35 . Like the title says it was sketchy and not really as fun as I had hoped.The bike is fairly new to me ,'01 VFR with Roadsmarts, and haven't really taken it on many rides. She has ridden with me...
