I'm on an SV650 so the big high-speed track of Big Willow doesn't interest me that much. Streets of Willow or the Horse Thief Mile both look like a lot of fun, but I can't seem to find a single org that does a trackday for it. Is there a reason for this?

Mechanical has me out of commission for tomorrow. Anyone want my B group spot? Text me, 847-708-2879

I was dumb and left my spare rim/disks at Motoguild instead of bringing them with me. Is anyone coming from the Bay to THill 5-mile tomorrow and could schlep them up for me? Text me if you can, 847-708-2879.

tl;dr - color coat isn't drying, still tacky and soft after 5 days. WTF? I'm painting the plastics on my SV650 and following the advice in the stickied thread. I stripped everything down to the bare plastic, used an adhesion promoter, a good high-build primer, a quality color-matched paint from...

I’ve got a parking space at my building that has space for another 2-3 motorcycles. At one point I had five motorcycles in it, but now I’m down to just my Multistrada and it’s getting lonely. So maybe you can give it a friend to keep it company. You would need to coordinate with me when you...

I’ve heard rumors that THill is reopening and that Fun Track Dayz is going to be holding their even there on the 3rd. Can anyone verify this, or if any other orgs are running in the near future at Thunderhill?

Late last year I posted a thread asking for advice on building out a cargo van to be a trackday hauler/camper. I got a lot of good ideas from the community, plenty of advice and insight from people who'd done it before and suggested different types of vehicles that might be easier to live with...

tl;dr - It's awesome In January 2019 I did exactly what everyone advised me against doing; swapped a battered but reliable V-Strom 650 for a pants-on-head-retarded Ducati Multistrada to use for daily commuting. I had been an inch away from buying a nearly-new Tiger 800 with all the farkles for...

Kinda new to California and not up on the laws for these things yet, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm looking at getting a used cargo van to transport myself and my trackbike to the track on the weekends, as well as occasional weekend camping. It seems that many of these...

I've been motorcycle-only for many years now, but it makes the prospect of trackdays increasingly complicated. Renting a truck or van for a weekend easily runs over $400 with mileage costs. So I'm thinking of buying a cargo van and kitting it out to be a cheap-ish trackday camper. Doesn't...

2008 Suzuki SV650-N ABS model. 28,3xx miles. SOLD The good: Durable, reliable and endlessly practical motorcycle. Bike is straight and rides perfectly. Has: Hepco & Becker luggage rack Nelson-Rigg soft saddlebags (easily removable) Some kind of douchy loud slip-on pipe Oxford heated grips...

TL;DR- 84,xxx miles, tons of upgrades, religiously maintained, Oakland, SOLD. I'm realistic and will entertain offers, lemme know if you're interested. Will consider partial trades for a KTM 690 Enduro or newer Triumph Thruxton in either British Racing Green or Matte Black. If for some weird...

Over the winter I made the mistake of test riding a 2016 Multistrada Pikes Peak when I was at Ace Motorsports in Concord with the intention of buying a Tiger 800. I stressed and waffled about it for nearly a month, including posting a long advice thread here about it where basically everyone...

I'm looking at a lightly used Ducati at a motorcycle dealer in the east bay. They've offered me two options for an extended warranty: Ageis - 3 year, $1500 Ever-Red - 4 year, $1800 The salesman (who I've been conversing with now for a couple of weeks, he's been very reasonable and helpful...

I used to live in the midwest and was able to make a decent side income flipping bikes, especially because the market was so seasonal. However the title laws there seemed to be much more lax in the flyover states than they are in California, and I'm not sure how legal/tolerated floating titles...
