    Would you give up commuting by motorcycle completely?

    Right now I am commuting between Palo Alto and San Francisco every day, via 280, for a round trip of around 85-90 miles a day. While I absolutely love riding every day, there are times when I don't look forward to the ride to work in the morning or the ride home in the evening. Plus, it means...

    Pitbull headlift front stand

    Looking for a Pitbull headlift front stand, ideally with the standard pin + #1 adapter, but not a dealbreaker if I have to buy the pin separately. Thanks!

    Questions about Roadcrafter 1 piece suits

    I'm looking at maybe buying a Roadcrafter R3 1-piece suit in the future (hopefully in a couple months). Since it's so expensive, I wanted to 100% make sure it'll be a good fit on me. My current pants ride up slightly and expose about an inch of my legs while riding, and I want to make sure I...

    FS: Grado PS500e

    I'm selling my mint condition Grado PS500e, handmade in New York. Absolutely perfect condition including the box. All the lettering is intact and no signs of wear anywhere. I haven't been able to use it much and now my Miata took a shit on me so I'd rather free up some money to get it back on...

    Best way to strap backpack to seat?

    I was just wondering, what is the best way to strap a backpack to the back/pillion seat without having it fly off? Being crouched over on a sportbike for 90 miles a day with a giant backpack is killing my back, but I don't want to lose any sweet street cred by putting a rack or something on the...

    Will I get pulled over for an integrated tail light?

    I want an integrated LED tail light so I can get rid of my clunky giant OEM turn signals. I think it's technically illegal since the turn signals aren't 9 inches apart, but do cops around here care that much to pull me over for it...

    Center vs rear stand

    So after having to keep pushing my motorcycle down the street in front of my house and then kneeling down to clean and lube each section of my chain, I'd really like to find a way to get my rear in the air. The question is, do I get a center stand (which was available for the F4i in Europe but...

    Confused about the reserve capacity

    I am confused as to why the reserve indicator on my F4i keeps turning on so early. When I bought the bike from the seller on Friday, it had a full tank of gas (or close to it). About 100 miles later the next day, the reserve indicator came on, and within 15 miles it was flashing all 4 bars at...

    How long should I wait before commuting to work?

    Hey guys, I finally bought my second bike, an 06 CBR600F4i, after 1.5 years of being bikeless. I live in Palo Alto with my parents and work in downtown SF. Caltrain (that I'm taking right now) doesn't work with my work schedule very well, so I want to start riding to work. I've never lane...

    Hey guys! Noob here from Palo Alto

    Hey everyone! I've been trolling these forums for a while, mainly the classifieds, looking for a bike. I finally found one today so I'm taking the opportunity to introduce myself here. I live in Palo Alto and work in San Francisco. I've been wanting a bike since I sold my last one over a year...
