Background: I had a kid in 2017 and took a couple years off from racing and trackdays. The bike sat on an Optimate battery tender for 2 years with a 1/2 tank of fuel. I started it every once it a while and let it warm up. I did a trackday 3 weeks ago and the bike experienced some sputtering...

My wife and I are selling a property that was inherited recently. The property appraised at $95k, but that was for the lot only and did not include the modular home, septic, well, etc... The neighbor and us have agreed on a sale price of $200k. We will be floating the loan. He is paying $50k...

I have top and side cases for my MTS1200, but rarely ever use them since the bike is mostly a weekend toy. I’d really a stand to put them on since shelf space in my garage is limited with totes full of other junk. My vision is basically a stand with the mounting hardware so the cases just...

Wifey brought home some cinnamon rolls from a local bakery. I'd never taken notice to how she ate them before. When I eat a cinnamon roll, I use a fork and eat by following the coil from the outside to the center. The roll gets smaller and smaller until you are left with the nice doughy...

Looking for opinions from other parents on balance bikes like the Strider or Cruzee versus a normal bicycle with training wheels. Please share opinions and experiences. My son’s 2nd birthday is coming up and wanna get him a bike of some kind.

Looking for input and experience with Xfinity cell service. I’m currently on AT&T with a family plan of 4 phones. Switching to Xfinity would cut the bill by almost half for equivalent plan options (unlimited everything) because it would be bundled with Xfinity TV, internet, and home security...

I’ve been looking at Shelby Cobra replicas and would like to buy one in the next couple years. I’m not interested in building a kit from start to finish as I don’t have access to a lift and don’t want to fall into the pit of being nickel and dimed out of the same amount of money that I could...

The leather covering the steering wheel on my F250 finally gave out and there’s a 1” tear in it. Is this something a normal auto upholstery shop can do? Can anyone recommend any shops in the East Bay to rewrap a leather steering wheel? Preferably in the Delta area (Antioch/Brentwood/Oakley)...

This shit infuriates me. It should be illegal to have doorbells in TV commercials. Every. Single. Time it happens, my dogs go apeshit and if the little guy is sleeping it wakes him up. I’m thinking about doing a White House petition. Discuss.

Up for sale is a pair of 2000 Kawasaki Bayou 300 quads. These quads were given to my wife and me as payment for some work done to a friend's property and we have no need for them. I don't know the history behind them other than that they have been used on a friend's local ranch for about 10...

Wifey wants a new car that’s bigger than her Lexus IS and she wants a mid-size SUV. She likes the styling of the newer Volvo XC90, but I worry about the reliability since I’ve never owned a Volvo. I see older ones that seem to have electric gremlins because the lights are wonky. Anyone have...

This thread is for discussion of Season 4 of the AMC show “Better Call Saul”. My thoughts of the first episode were that this season will be much faster paced than previous seasons. I loved the foreshadowing with the taxi driver! More thoughts to come as I continue to wake up. :Popcorn

Something that I've wondered for a while. Why are the front fenders on Moto2 bikes so much different than the fenders on MotoGP bikes? The fender on the Moto2 bike covers a lot more of the front wheel and brakes than on the GP bikes. You don't see those radically oversized fenders on the...

I bought this bike from a BARFer almost a year ago, today. I've put around 1,500 miles on it in that time. I don't ride it as much as I thought I would, so I'd like to pass it along and get rid of the monthly payment. 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak: The Good: Clean title held by...

S2:E1 premiered tonight. Season discussion, READY GO!

Well.... not really, but sorta... My buddy had this car for a while, and then decided to sell it to a co-worker for like $5,000. Almost immediately after she bought it, stuff started breaking on it. Not being a gearhead, she parked it in her garage and there it sat for 3 years completely...

I bought this removable wheel chock hoping to mount it in a toy hauler, but sadly it won't fit where I want it to. I went another route so I need to get rid of this one. Instead of paying to send this back and waiting 2 weeks for my money back I'd rather try and sell it to someone here. I...

This thread is for discussion of Season 3 since Ep1 just aired on Monday night. Loved the first episode! As with every episode, Vince Gilligan only gives you enough to wet your beak. What is Chuck gonna do with the recording? Who is following Mike? Why did "Gene" collapse in the Cinnabon...

I'm looking to have a logo made for fundraisers and t-shirts for my police department's K9 unit and I need someone who can make a logo. I can provide some images of the dogs for reference if needed and can give you a bit of guidance in what we're looking for. I'd be willing to pay you...

Just a thought and I never read anything about it. The RC211V was a 990cc V5 and was without a doubt the best bike on the grid by the end of the 990cc era. When they switched to 800cc displacement limits, Honda went with a 800cc V4. I'm curious why Honda didn't do a V5 for the RC213V when...
