Went to The Junction today at about 1:00. All gates closed, no vehicles visible, everything neatly stacked. Phone just gives static. Although their website said they were open it sure looked like permanently closed. Hope not. Anyone know what is up there?

I'm considering an airbag vest and am looking at Helite and Hit-air. Anyone have experience or evaluated both? They appear quite similar. My biggest concern is that they will block all the air to a mesh jacket and be too hot when it get's warm (it will get warm again, really). Thanks for your...

It freaks me out to go to the garage and see the fluid fill levels by the condensation on the outside of the tanks and / or cases.:wow Near as I can tell a really cold night followed by some warming and rain causes the humidity to condense when it contacts the metal parts in contact with the...

I don't like wearing ear plugs but feel I should protect what hearing I have left. Most ear plugs seem to reduce some frequencies of noise but leave others, or even amplify resonant harmonics. Drives me crazy. Additionally the pressure in the ear can be really bothersome, even painful. A...

The short video at the end of this article in the San Jose Mercury about The Clubman's Show was my trying to answer the question "What is it about old British bikes?" http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_25448535/british-motorcycles-bring-out-old-timers-san-jose

I know there are those who use video cams to try to keep other drivers honest (especially commuters). I also know that closed course racing provides many exciting videos. Also know that there are some who put videos of themselves brushing their teeth on Utube ( same ones who post when they...

I really enjoy my Tiger 1050 but find the stock seat uncomfortable. Does anyone have experience with the Triumph "Comfort" (gel) seat. Have any Tiger riders found good seating solutions they would recommend? Anyone have a "Comfort" seat or alternative I could sit on?.....or buy? Thanks.

Seems like most Barfers are into sport bikes with some dual sport, dirt and a few cruiser riders. I understand the fun of 100 hp + at the rear wheel but also enjoy my vintage bikes that are older than a number of the Barfers I have met. Are there any other ( probably old guy) Barfers into...

Went up Mine's Tuesday on the Airhead Beemer. It is the slowest and most relaxed of my bikes but will still carve. The hill's are that magic green ( for a couple of days), the poppies and lupin are blooming. Gorgeous day. Caught up with a local cage that was moving along at a reasonable cage...
