Just wondering if anyone knows if the rider who crashed about 1pm today on skyline heading south before the firestation on the way to 4 corners is OK. Was he a barfer?

Does anyone have recommendation for the best base layer (underwear) to wear under one piece leathers at the track during the hot summer months? TIA

I did a quick unsuccessful search but wondered if anyone knows what lap times are the recommended pace to "qualify" into and out of B group at Sears point / Infineon? I had heard it varies by provider and even who shows up, but a rule of thumb for B group is 2:15 - 2:00 (meaning C is over 2:15...

The recent thread on a high mileage BMW GS got me thinking. There were several comments to the effect of "the GS is no sports bike" and that "big low powered engines" keep on ticking, so 90K is no big deal. Well what about sports bikes these days? How many miles do you think they can go...

Well, he had me dead to rights. I was on 84 heading back from Hwy 1 almost at Pescadero, and I came upon a group of slow moving traffic. I slipped past the back car (yea over a dy but it was way clear, and I did it mellowly), only to notice the car in front of him wasn't just any white SUV but...

Can some one recommend a mechanic to me? Our ninja 250 1994 suddenly started spewing gas. It seemed to be coming out of the carburetor (not from a hose), and it only seems to leak when the engine is running (I can see it dripping a drop or two a second when running, but when turned off, the...

Hey just a quick note of thanks to Connie who came out and rode some fun twisties with me to help me ease my way back into riding post crash. Great fun hanging out, and I appreciated your tips and help! :thumbup It was really nice to get that "feeling" again -- you know the one, it's not...

So, with Hawthorne being next week, I decided I had to get on the bike and see how I'm doing, despite the earlier threads warning folks not to ride with all the drunkards during the 3 day holiday. I didn't do anything crazy or spectacular, just rode 85 -> 17 -> 1 down to the beach for a restful...

So IMO sport bike mirrors suck, and I want to improve the situation. I'm curious, what have people done about this? Forgetaboutit and just ride (can't be hurt by what's behind you :wtf), get bar end mirrors, or get longer / better mirrors? Also, I'm not interested in solutions like "get a...

Interested in the opinion o' BARF: what is the best bike lock. I'm interested in something for when I ride my bike into suspect areas (like the City) or need to leave it overnight somewhere. Ideally it is light (and not bulky), versatile so I can lock the bike to something solid in many...

FlyKly Electric Bikes Are Coming To San Francisco, after a sellout launch in New York earlier this summer: http://tcrn.ch/qJBsJw. I saw an electric something on two wheels a few weeks back in downtown santa Barbara. It was scary. I first saw the guy as I was sitting eating lunch in some...

Just saw this in Wired and it made me smile: http://bit.ly/qRIxNt I normally don't see this sort of sentiment in a non MC environment...cool!

Toyota is introducing driver assist technology...not only will it take control of wheel, but will pop the hood for extra "safety" in a crash. Coming soon to a Prius driver near you. http://engt.co/onWfsi.

I'm considering a little weekend jaunt with my wife down to Carmel and wondering if any of you can recommend some good "few hour" rides (she is NOT an iron butt) with Carmel as a base. Ideally good road conditions (not goat roads), but twisties, and views are good! thanks

I thought as this new section was getting up and going, I'd at least link in my two related threads...the first that describes my crash, some crash analysis, and brief account of impact to me (http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=370330) and the second with my thoughts /...

After reading the riding when under the weather thread, I was wondering how soon after a crash with injuries do you start to ride again? The easy answer is wait until you're 100%, which is what many folks said on the riding while sick thread. But as anyone who has done physical therapy knows...

On a different forum, I saw a thread which indicated different insurance companies have different policies to covering or not covering track events (different from races), and even for a given company (like state farm) it varies by state (apparently SF covers track but not races in NY but not in...

This may be a repost, in which case I apologize, but after reading a few threads about deer, I saw this and it really drove home how dangerous these drivers are. So, I post for two reasons, (1) i found it useful to understand the danger and (2) although not my crash, crash analysis style, I...
