At my place of work we have designated motorcycle parking spaces. We have been hiring like crazy in the last few years, so finding parking can be pretty hard now. Lately I have been seeing the same damn car parking in my motorcycle space, I can understand if the person did not notice the...

I was stopped at the light the other day, waiting for the left turn light to turn green. Two cycles go by and no green, at this point I am sure that its not going to turn green so I look behind me and see a Prius about 10 ft back. I put the kickstand down and walk up to the car so I can ask the...

I am going to be purchasing a new bike this season and am looking for suggestions. So far I have been riding a Ninja 300 for a bit over a year. I have been mostly using the motorcycle for work commutes, random errands, as well as canyon runs, and a couple of track days, I would like to do a few...

It is a fact that Bay Area has seen an increase in traffic in the last 5 years, hell, it is has been increasing for longer than that, but that is not what the post is about. Lately I have been noticing that the average cruising speed for most cars, not in traffic, has dropped off significantly...

This is my first post on Barf, but I assure you that I was lurking on the forum for some time now. Mostly I have been active on the Ninja 300 forums (http://www.kawasakininja300.com/) under the same user name. I am selling my 2013 Ninja 300 with a blown engine. It has 12022 miles on it, if it...

Hi everyone, my name is Alex, and I got my first motorcycle two days ago: a used 2014 Ninja 300. I live in the Mountain View area and am down for group rides, and eventual track days.
