I was cruising the #4 lane (of 5) on my way to see my grandpa about 9am this morning. I was certainly speeding, cruise control set to 72, GPS reading 69, in a 65 zone. Traffic was pretty heavy for 9am and the flow was well over 70. The officer was on the right shoulder and pulled out after a...

Well.... This may be a long interesting thread if i don't give up. I have allocated the funds to restore my R75 that has been sitting since 1997. The bike has 30,000 miles and serious issues BUT has never been down. I'm in the middle of tearing down the engine for a complete rebuild. (it...

I got a love letter from the city of Oakland today and they want $66. :mad Apparently I parked in the ghetto and got a parking ticket at 1:16am. In my black Toyota that is listed as Grey. Here's the kicker....... I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO OAKLAND!!!!! :rofl the night in question I had just...

Let me start by saying I am OCD about research before I spent my hard earned cash. I did research on the standard Roadcrafter here on barf and other places. I studied the sizing chart, read what others have written regarding sizing and placed my order..... It arrived yesterday after 6 long...

....for not sending me a renewal notice then charging me $90 in late fees!!!! Yes, it's my fault for not looking at the plate on my new (used) bike but damn, I could have used that $90. Okay, I'm done now.

...my Monster 696, like most Monsters take awhile to warm up. Today my idiot co-worker decided to take my baby for a spin, sans helmet, around the block. It started out with him wanting to hear the engine, then jumped on, dropped in first and took off!!!!! He buzzed around the business park...

GONE!!!! I have a HJC (CL-15) size XL that I am ready to pass on. I wore it for about 1,000 miles before I got my Shoei qwest. I wear a 7 3/4 hat and this helmet fits well; hopefully this gives you an idea of fit. What's the catch? I'd prefer to give it to someone that actually needs a...

Any thoughts where i can find a high accuracy pressure gauge? I just tested the three non cheap ones I use regularly and they varied by 4 PSI!!!

...and now my hands are getting numb!! Is it possible these things could be increasing vibration? Or is it just my dumb ass not understanding the ergo's on my new bike. It was a beautiful morning in west Marin!! Only about a billion bikes out this morning. Pt Reyes station was an orgy of bikes.

Well... I finally spent some cash on a real bike! It is a bit slower than my last bike but this thing sure does pull!! Planning on a few mods but mostly just planning on racking up the miles.

I noticed while tightening the chain I had two missing o-rings. Should I change it immediately? (it's the only bike I've had that wasn't shaft drive so forgive the rookie question)

I've had this bike in my garage for way too long. Long time lurker of barf with very little posts so I hope to paint a clear picture of the bike. Asking price - $400 OBO make - Yamaha model - XS750 (triple) year - 1979 mileage - 20,890 title info - clean and current non-op in my name current...

:thumbdown. On a two lane road, granny in a jag in the #1 lane going 10 under when I come up to her I the #2 lane. She almost changes lanes, sees me next to her car and moves back. At about the same time, I notice her coming over I blip the throttle to pass. It wasn't that close but I got out...

I purchased a 2001 Suzuki Bandit a couple months ago and the dreaded previous owner was a complete cheap skate on maintenance. The day I bought the bike from him he dropped in a new battery (the bike has been sitting for awhile). After ton of maintenance on my part and 1,500 miles later, went...

new rider here. just took the MSF course a couple weeks ago and purchased a used Suzuki GSF600S the same day as I got my M1 endorsement. I have gone on a couple awesome rides so far... Drake's beach, bodega bay, and etc but I want a serious pro to do a safety inspection on my bike. Any ideas?
