Turbo busa. There let’s get that choice out of the way. It’s time to buy a “family” vehicle. By that, I don’t mean for kids. But one I share with my wife. She currently has no car, and doesn’t really anticipate needing one on a daily basis for the time being. However, that could change and she...

I know there's a whole section of Reddit called "am I the asshole" where people post their dilemma (usually some boyfriend/girlfriend thing), how they handled it, and are sometimes surprised because the consensus is that they were the one in the wrong. I don't do Reddit. I've got a fair amount...

I dunno why I bothered to get into it. But now my curiosity is enough that I need to know for sure. Guy said that in order to make a car work with Android Auto or CarPlay, you have to go download the AA app or the CarPlay app to your phone first. Obviously he’s an Android guy. I correct him...

It’s time for the BARF militia to guide my next purchase here. Been with my wife for 14 years now. Unfortunately one of the non starters with her was having anything that goes pew pew. Mostly because her ex husband was a complete moron and brandished/pointed one at a hooligan neighbor kid once...

While they are one of my favorite bands (post Peter Gabriel), that’s not what this is about. I got PMed recently asking me about one. Then JD Power released the annual dependability study. I put much more stock in that survey over the initial quality one since it surveys owners after they’ve...

Yes I know, there have been a few over the years here in the sink. This one about airline miles was pretty good. But, CC perks, points, miles, and bonus programs change pretty regularly it seems. Earlier this year Citi practically gutted most of the benefits from their cards. Because of that...

As I sit here in McCarran (LAS) airport waiting to board, I've been watching quite the sample of travelers walk by. But while I’m no frequent flyer, I’ve certainly flown long enough to make these observations even if I wasn’t at the airport today. Perhaps this is just a OG craigslist style rant...

Surprised there’s no thread, but considering how well anything H-D goes over here, I guess I’m not surprised. Bike should be getting unveiled this week at Sturgis. Fixed fairing bagger (just like the H-D Road Glide). All new 108” water cooled twin. Should be interesting.

So I’ve been toying with the idea of picking up a second bike. My current H-D “grandpa” Glide is fantastic for taking the wife somewhere on the weekend, or just commuting to work since it has every creature comfort one could hope for on two wheels. Hell it even gets over 40mpg. The one thing...

Something I’ve been curious about over the years. I’m sure we’ve all seen this. Motorcyclist at a stop light, and when they go they keep their feet out just barely off the ground like some kind of outriggers for like a hundred feet or all the way through the intersection. Now if it’s someone...

I know this one is a bit on the obscure side, but one of the greats is gone at the age of 72. If any of you who are wondering who the hell is Ricky Jay, I’m sure you’ve seen him in a movie or two. Director David Mamet seemed to favor him quite a bit. Frequently used as a consultant whenever...

In before the gross, mystery meat, couldn’t pay me to eat one people. Now that’s out of the way. On to the matter at hand, for everyone else who just gets giddy every time this magnificent piece of fast food technology graces us with its limited time presence. It’s back. And not my friend’s...

Probably my first post in this forum ever. Anyways, I’m working on this car and I find a bunch of aftermarket electronics in it. After finding all it of, it’s a really fancy radar/laser detector setup. But there’s more. It has laser “shifter” arrays as well. A quick check says these are illegal...

Sorry if there’s already a thread...I’m too lazy to look for it. I’d have put this in General, but it doesn’t seem to have that much to do with the bikes. Not going to spoil anything just yet just in case you haven’t seen it. I like it so far. I think SOA was slightly better starting off. But...

The cult movie thread got me thinking. Since Hollywood has for the most part run out of ideas other than to just make every single comic book ever into a show and/or movie, there has been quite the uptick in old shows or movies that have been remade, rebooted, rehashed, re-whatevered. Here’s an...

Surprised there’s been no discussion here of this announcement yet. Sure I know that 900 pound, $30k, full dressers aren’t exactly the weapon of choice here. But since I’m a card carrying member of that small club, this news was kind of a big deal to me at least. The “bagger” is the standard...

So let's get the M4M part out of the way first. I'm headed northbound El Camino in Palo Alto in front of Stanford mall this morning. I realize that I'm getting stuck in the wrong lane as it becomes a turn lane (Quarry Rd). I look in the mirrors and look over, and there is absolutely nobody...

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...

For Sale, a small fleet of motorcycles...because we found out that nobody actually cares about the food.
