So one of our longtime BARFers, Ogg, has given up riding. Over several years of touring, riding, and track days, he's acquired quite a bit of gear. And people, lemme tell ya, it's the good stuff! What he's done is ship it to me... 4 big ol' boxes of riding safety goodness. They got shipped out...

It is with a heavy heart that I write this. My longtime friend, wife of Racercosmo, and OG BARFer Idontdotrix Danni Romeo passed away yesterday. They moved out to the East Coast several years ago, and built a pretty awesome life for themselves and their daughter Bri. It's been a lot of years...

Hey All! I've got BARFer Tyler/Foxwolf stranded in Berkeley on Channing (near Telegraph), needs to get to Vallejo. He's got a dead R6. Is anyone sitting home, bored, debating about doing laundry or grocery shopping, and looking for a really solid excuse to not get the chores done?? I've got...

Hey All... this morning, my friend Rudy's son, Brandon, went missing, about 3am. He left a suicide note. He suffers from depression. He was on his bicycle, in the San Lorenzo area. I've attached pics. Rudy's FB post is below. Please keep an eye out for him... hoping he's found before he does...

Hey All! I've got a crashed BARFer in Berkeley, he needs to get to Emeryville. He's on Buchanan, down by the Albany Bowl. Anyone available to help? I know it's late, but his AMA membership isn't helping him out, so it would be great if we could! :)

Hi All! I just got a call from Felix (Raider Nation here on the forum), and he's broken down on 84, maybe 2-3 miles west of Alice's. Transmission is not engaging, and he's stuck. We need to get him to Fremont. Felix has rescued (off the top of my head) at least 3 people for me... I really need...

Hey All! I've got a rider who crashed up on Mt. Hamilton, near the Observatory, San Jose side. The bike is off the road. He needs to get to Merced. I've reached out to the few Angels I have that are on that route, and I'm out of options. If you can help the guy out, please let me know, or if you...

Hey All! AJ's boyfriend John just crashed on 580 after coming across the bridge, and while he's OK, the bike isn't ride-able. Is anyone in the Oakland or SF area willing to scoop him and the bike up, and haul him home in Oakland? You'll get your very own Roadside Angel tag! :teeth I've sent text...

The Snake is Dead??? Channel 2 is reporting that football great Kenny "the snake" Stabler has passed away at age 69... they're still waiting for solid confirmation, though. I watched him play back in the 70's... what a hell of an athlete... RIP Kenny... you lived large!! :rose...

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!! to Chad/Ironbutt... who made himself late to a date today to rescue me and my Gixxer off Skyline. I sent out a text to my local volunteers, and I have to say I was touched at the overwhelming response... Supermike, Mean Dad, H.D.30-06, Hooli, Sprorchid...

Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU!!!! to Felix/Raider Nation for (again) dropping everything at work to run out and rescue a stranded BARFer. Marci broke down on 9, and it's sometimes very challenging finding an available Angel during work hours... but Felix was ON it, and just got her...

I have a rider stranded on the side of the road near the Maritime Academy in Vallejo, who needs to get to Cycle Gear to replace a tube on his bike. Basically, he and the wheel need a ride to the local Cycle Gear and back. Can anyone help him out? He's on a cross-country race/event thing... I...

I know this is all sorts of wrong... but I've been thoroughly enjoying the drought! Cycling after work, taking the Gixxer out on the weekends... it's been great! If we could get a lot of rain on, say, Mondays and Tuesdays, so the roads are still dry on the weekends, though, I'd feel a lot less...

I had a chance to get out and log some miles on my new helmet yesterday. Took a run up Mines with the Hoolicat, and then had a quick run out to Castro Valley. I've been wearing Arai helmets for the last 7 or so years. They were the best-fitting helmets, along with being incredibly light, and...

I've been due for a new helmet, and I had started looking around to see what I wanted to get... I talked with Jason over at Motowrx, and he had me try on a Shoei RF-1200. Super lightweight, and the peripheral vision is actually better than my Arai, and the fit was awesome. We talked pricing a...

So here's the obligatory "Thankful for" thread... because even in the midst of tragedy, loss, and all the other sad things that can happen in one's life, there is always something wonderful and amazing to be truly thankful for... and sometimes focusing on the positive reminds us just how good...
