Im looking to trade my 97 Honda Super Blackbird (CBR1100XX) for something more dirt worthy. Specifically, Im looking for a 1100GS, Vstrom, DR650 or a KLR. I may consider others depending on what you have, or $4000 OBO. I really like this bike and honestly don't want to get rid of it, but I...

$2000 OBO. I may consider trading for a small 4x4 truck. Runs strong, new battery, good tires, chain and sprockets. Needs the kickstand rewelded, but includes the track stand in the pics. It doesnt like to idle very well for some reason, I suck with carbs, but anything over idle is great...

SOLD I'm thinning the herd to one bike. For sale, 2001 Suzuki SV650. All consumables in good condition (tires, chain, battery, ect), new Vapor gauges, Corbin and stock seat, GSXR 750 front end, Kawi 636 shock. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this bike. It has been extremely reliable...

I thought I'd give my fellow BARFers first crack before I subject myself to dealing with the craigslist scum. I'm selling my 1998 ATK 605. I want something better suited for long distance on/off road riding. The bike is all stock with approximately 20k miles. The timing belt was changed last...

I'm selling my truck. I moved to the mountains where it actually snows, you know, that white stuff that falls from the sky, kinda cold? It's bad for traction too, so I want a 4x4 and dont feel like getting screwed on the trade-in. Details: 2007 Chevrolet Colorado 2wd, 4-cylinder, 5-speed...

Yes, another gun thread:deadhorse I'm going to head the impending argument off right now and tell the readers out there that YES, I do have the legal right to carry concealed. How are you LEOs and other CCW riders carrying while on the bike? What holsters are you using and where are you...

After four years of school and another two years of job hunting, I finally landed the job that will launch my career. The job is in Plumas county, which is an incredibly beautiful area in NE CA, where the Sierras and Cascade mountain ranges meet. If you still dont know where I'm talking about...

GONE, BYE BYE, HISTORY, CLOSE THE THREAD, ELVIS HAS LET THE BUILDING Free Technic leathers Silver and black one piece. They are in good shape, but arent the high-end model. I think I payed around $300 for them at Roadrider a few years ago. I'm just too fat to fit in them anymore. Size 44 PM...

I've been wanting to post this thread for a very long time. For several years I've been thinking of going into law enforcement. I've had more than my share of dead-end jobs, and after being laid-off for the fifth time in the same unstable career field, I decided to go back to school to...

I was long overdue for a decent ride, so I decided to rectify the situation. Today (9/27) I went for a nice 300 mile 25/Coalinga Rd loop. This was a solo ride, so no parking lot pix or *$ posing, sorry. epic FAIL:mad SV FTW:teeth

After years of neglect and abuse, I've finally decided to change the oil in my forks. After yanking them off my bike and pulling the caps, I discover that I need a special tool in order to properly do the job. What to do? I jumped online and ran a search for MC suspension shops near San...

The fork oil on my bike is way WAY overdue for a change. But I have no idea what the proper level is supposed to be, and I'm taking a guess that the oil should be 5wt. I haven't had any luck searching online. Can anyone tell me what the fork oil level should be for a 1998 GSX-R 750 should be...

Is there a way to calculate the proper chain length when re-gearing a bike? For example, the stock chain length for my SV is 110 links. I'm going +2 on the rear. What length should my chain be? 110? 111? 112?

Watching the news this morning and their was a quick story on a cager getting hit my another cage on Marsh Creek Rd near Antioch. Apparently the man that was killed was out of his car, helping a stranded motorist when he was hit and killed by another car. The road was just chip-sealed and...

I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a motard. I tend to hold onto my bikes for a long time and end up racking up more miles than typical (my SV has 63k and counting). I'm looking at the usual suspects right now: DRZ-SM, SM610, 690SM, and WR250X (#1 at the moment). I know that...
