    SOLD * 2015 Triumph Bonneville T100

    Recently I came into possession of a few bikes that belonged to my dad. While I certainly could keep them for myself, none of them are really my kind of bike. So I am selling the lot of them. I will list these exclusively on BARF for awhile, and if no takers, I'll just take them to a dealer to...

    Going to be selling three bikes at the same time, best way to do it?

    This is also a bit of a feeler as well in case anyone is interested in any of these. But anyways, I'm going to be selling a small fleet of bikes here (they are my dad's, but I'm handling all of this) and if you were me, what would you do. Just take the lot of them to J&M, SCC Accessories, or...

    Harley Street Rod 750

    I know the majority here feel that all H-D is garbage, so I'm expecting a ton of negative comments on this one. But the handful of you that actually are into the motor company, what do you think of this? Looks to be based on the new and somewhat floundering Street platform. This version gets a...

    The Milwaukee Eight-first new H-D engine in like 15 years

    Ok ok, I know. DILLIGAF is probably the typical barf user's response to any news from Harley. Bold New Graphics on the latest GSXYZFCBR-RR probably generate more buzz around here. But to the motorcycle world as a whole? This is kind of a big deal. Cycle World already did a pretty thorough...

    Barber Museum picture extravaganza

    Here's a hint. If you're a motorcyclist, this is pretty much one of the most awesome places on the entire planet. Another hint. I have an absolute ton of pictures from this place because there was a lot of different things to take pictures of. One could say they have more things than...

    Contour Roam 3 or Sony HDRAS20?

    Getting close to pulling the trigger on one of these helmet mounted cameras. Absolutely do not like the Marvin the Martian look with the GoPro on top of the helmet so I don't want a GoPro. I like the form factor of the Contour and Sony (and yes I know that they bought them). It looks like the...

    A company with no management structure? What in the actual...

    Just read this news story that Zappos is transitioning to some crazy business model. Self managed employees? JFC. Does anyone here work for a company that actually does this? Maybe I just haven't worked at enough places, but even as far back to school...when the authority figure was gone...

    Knife geeks...I want a new kitchen knife set. Recommendations?

    First things first....I am not even the slightest bit a chef, cook, or whatever. I can make grilled cheese sammiches, pasta, and like most men...BBQ meat. But that's about it outta me. My better half is much better. And she has proclaimed that it's time for new knifes. 10 years ago when I...

    Tell me about self powered heated gear

    I've ridden in all conditions before. I had gore-tex from the neck down. And that worked pretty well. But in those days I didn't have to ride very far if I didn't want to since I worked close to home, and I had a fully faired sportbike. These days, if I want to actually ride my bike to work, I...

    Harley-Davidson Livewire demo rides 10/9-10-11

    Just got the email. Figured I pass it on to you all since so many of you loooove Harleys so much. So it's gonna be happening at San Jose Harley-Davidson from October 9 to the 11th. Not sure if you have to reserve or get your name on a list.

    'Murica! (Car porn)

    I'll just leave this here... 1fhnO95drbA Looks like Fiat is pretty serious about making sure Dodge has a chip in the big game of the modern horsepower wars. GM already folded and is trying to win the handling game.

    JFC...another smartphone thread.

    I know we're sick of these because it always devolves into Xerox pouring giant sized cups of Apple Kool Aid for everyone and the Android fanboys telling us all how evil Applemis and how they don't innovate shit. But what the hell, let's hit the beehive with a stick once more. I'm thinking...

    Have you heard of Lewis Leathers?

    Since I'll be getting back in to a bike in a few months, in addition to the actual bike, I'll be needing some new gear as well. And top of the list is a new leather riding jacket. I'd always wanted a Vanson since I first saw them in the '90s, and was thinking that's gonna be the way I go once...

    Vanson leathers. Where?

    I asked this to BARF maybe 7 years ago, and I thought about just bumping the thread, but I figured there's a lot of information in there that doesn't apply anymore since stores come and go. So. I never did buy that Vanson jacket. Always wanted one. And I'll back back in the need for it soon...

    What can you tell me about new Harley engines?

    I thought about just adding on to this thread, but I figured this discussion is a different subject. I'm thinking that the 2014 H-D Breakout is my next bike. However, I've been told that the "motor" company has been having some problems with their latest Twin Cam in the form of massive oil...

    Time for a new TV

    I'm gonna be buying a new one maybe this weekend. Something in the 55" class. We have liked the higher end Samsung models mostly for the barely there casing border around the screen. Couple weeks ago we strolled into the Sony store and saw their offerings. I've always been a Sony guy, so I was...

    Might be time for a new bike-what'cha like better?

    I was close to getting back into riding a few years ago. Then got sidetracked with buying a house. So I didn't want to get any other big ticket items until that was all done. Then broke my ankle. Ankle is about as recovered as it's gonna get two years (to the day) later. Maybe only have 80%...

    Credit reports

    I seriously gave it a good 5-10 minute try of google-fu to search for the thread that was here in the sink about getting a free credit report months ago. Nope. Can't find it. I seem to remember there was a general consensus that one particular site was a good one, but I can't remember the...

    Da fuq with all the airport threads?

    Copycat day in the sink again? Btw, I am currently sitting in a massage chair at SJC waiting to leave to Cabo for a week bishes. :twofinger

    The random question gets answered thread

    I dunno, maybe this turns into a big long thread that goes on for months if not years. Or maybe it fizzles after two pages. I figure the Kitchen Sink is probably the best place in the world to put this. But here's the rules... Post some obscure thing you've been curious about recently, and...
