Some BARFers may have come across the thread (link below) I'd posted about 4 months ago, regarding a rather atypical (for a normally dyed-in-the-wool Kawasaki Team-Green guy), spur of the moment purchase I'd made, of a rather vanilla form of motorcycle. The brand being a change of camp...

Looks like the delayed arrival Winter of 2011/2012 is continuing! :thumbup 100% chance of rain listed on weather.com for tomorrow (Saturday), for the SC mountain area. Should be some nicely washed free of debris road surfaces for honing one's traction management skills on the nearly vacant of...

Have a VIP pass (can pick A, B+ or B- group), that I'm offering for sale. This is an additional trackday that I may or may not attend (depending on selling the pass before the date), due to attending another event at the same venue, a short time prior. - Track: Infineon Raceway - Promoter...

Not being able to edit a title of the earlier thread, to specifically list the day and confirmation of tomorrows "True Grit" ride - posting up here. No rain yet tonight, but predictions show 100% chance by early AM tomorrow so it should be a legit "True Grit" event. No white stuff or ice this...

Based on the current weather predictions for the SC mountains, it's looking like there's a high probability of another "True Grit" group ride event invite posting showing up for this coming weekend. Likely the only group ride posting that'll be showing up here on BARF, for this weekend. :)...

Been a decent amount of rain this week that should have done of good job of cleaning off the initial slippery oils and road droppings, making for some predictable traction levels for some fun winter riding. The rain levels and/or probability seems to be dropping off a lot for the local area...

THere's a link to the original posting for all the details. http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=394209

Posted this reply in another thread, but as that a heads-up to fellow BARFers of this guy/car in keeping an eye out may be a useful PSA (and the original post may not be seen buried there), figured I'd post it as a standalone topic here: Saw that Nissan GTR (dark blue) several times yesterday...

There’s a behavior that’s showing up in on-bike footage of some of the group ride videos posted here on the forum, that brings to light a topic that may be worth discussion? What’s that? The topic of using the whole road (like a racetrack). What’s “using the whole road” mean? 1)...

Would welcome, and very much appreciate the candid perspective of any BARF LEOs, regarding the riding content aspect contained in some of the post-event group ride videos that are hosted here on the forum. Thanks! :thumbup http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=392095

Thanks to GoPro (mostly), the idea of capturing on-bike video that records the riding and activities out on the road during group rides has gone from an occasional event (just a year or two back); to an almost feverish frenzy these days where a non-recorded/non-posted video ride is more the...

It's been raining moderately, but steady this afternoon in the SC mountains. Reports predict (for what that's worth?) rain to continue to appear at least into the early portion of the day tomorrow (Saturday), before clearing up for awhile. Sounds like a prime recipe for a glorious day enjoying...

Picked up a very clean, low-mileage, totally stock, '03 Suzuki SV-650s a few weeks back. The bike was fun to ride, but quickly showed that it was far from a stable, proficient, canyon-carver in showroom stock form. This created the personal challenge to use my suspension/chassis/riding...

Saturday's memorial (for Joe Montoya) group ride up "Redwood Road" (from Chabot Regional Park to 580) was my first time on that stretch of twisties on a motorcycle. I found the area to be quite beautiful, and the road itself to have a very nice flow of turns. That's the good part. On the flip...

As others have stated in posts over in the T-Giving trackday thread there's a strong interest (from many that were made aware of the event via postings here on BARF) to know more information about the specific events that surrounded the high speed bike-to-bike collision on the front straight at...

Weather reports show rain to come back in for a few hours late tonight, into early morning tomorrow (Sunday), before clearing for the rest of the day ..... for the SC mountains. Sounds like a prime recipe for a glorious day enjoying the challenges of honing one's traction management skills on...

International Motorcycle Show's coming up next weekend, so it's a great time to spend a Friday evening learning the skills on how to setup the suspension on the next new bike you buy - to perform at its peak! Reminder about Friday night's FREE "Sportbike Suspension Seminar: Part 2", that I'll...

Raining right now, and weather reports show rain to continue into at least the morning tomorrow (Sunday) for the SC mountains. As that a little moisture from the sky will likely result in the majority of cars and motorcycles staying at home, it should be a day of gloriously clear roads to ride...

In the southbound direction, on section of Hwy 1, a couple miles south of Gazos Creek Road (10 miles north of Davenport?), in the right 1/3 of the lane, in a long totally straight section of road - there's a section of nasty ripple-bumps (undetectable by sight). Over the years on group rides...
