y hallo thar BARF - it may have been a while since I've been around but there's no place like this to share a wtf tale of old codger asshattery I experienced today on my evening commute NB880 in Hayward... Came up sharing the usual 1/2 split behind a guy in Union City wearing overalls on a...

I am posting this for my motorcycling mentee, who unfortunately is giving up riding entirely. Why? Not because he wants to - but because he was T-boned at an intersection a year ago (on a different bike). That, and because he just happens to be one of the most talented Japanese swordsmen on the...

Short version: I'm selling a bike to a noob friend who I also got a job at my company She uses it to commute to her 7:30AM shift but wasn't there when I got to work this morning Checked Climber's awesome CHP moto incidents scrape and found: Incident: 05/20/13 07:21 AM : Hayward : I880 S /...

Did a quick search and didn't see that anyone had posted this yet, so here's a scrape of a cool and relevant slashdot story:

18,380 feet Found this from my friend's facebook. The old guy is her dad! (Sadly, it's a little sparse on the moto part, though)

Despite the cold mornings on the daily commute, it's too warm for me so I never wear it! Let it get some use warming your heart (and other fleshy bits) so you can show the fair-weather poseurs how really hardcore you are (without the hardcore pain). See review page on Amazon $100 OBO / Oaklamd

I hope that this thread will not just be about me, but help encourage others to share their 'hooray I'm better!' stories and be a light at the end of the tunnel for those who are still healing (and not to rub it in their faces :twofinger). I'm proud to say that 7 weeks after accidentally going...

Doesn't BARF agree with this amazing motivational poster I found?

The post date on youtube is almost a year old so this may be a repost but I sure wish I did this when I hit a deer last month... DfOaBRQtT3M

Disabled Rider Gets Robotic Arm in Oakland (That's Oakland, PA) :p I was browsing the news on Slashdot this morning and came across this story: What made it all the more relevant was the next paragraph: A month ago, I went down myself on Redwood during my evening commute when a deer jumped...

So... I got a fast riding award on the way to work today (only 80 mph, lol) 580 EB @ 150th - 238. No chance to 'chat' beforehand; officer Sorci went straight for the ticketbook after getting my info but in the 'afterglow' it was nice for him to say that 'I've got two bikes myself' and 'I know...

3ImuTpUYa-4 I searched for the youtube code before posting so hopefully this should be fresh, so fresh and so clean clean

I took advantage of the warm weather Sunday and Monday to borrow my dad's V-Strom (DL-1000) as a change of pace from our little ninjas and do some prolonged adventuring with my wife 2-up. After the second full day of riding, we were coming back from the Peninsula to Oakland and hit rush-hour...

take the lazy man's way to the latest post tl;dr: Problem: My '05 EX250 doesn't seem to have as much power as it used to. Mostly noticeable at speed (60+ MPH) when power becomes the limiting factor - it doesn't seem to have any 'oomph' anymore (yes, it used to, 250 haters :twofinger) when I...

Um, so I was sweeping up Old Tunnel Rd yesterday... the usual dirty corners... some extra dog-walkers & cyclists to avoid... then I come around a corner ready for the quick, bumpy straight and am greeted by at least two dozen sheep in the middle of the road. Didn't even seem to fazed by me...

Not pre-emptive anymore due to budgie45's thread but there's plenty of hilarity left to ensue. - How much more HP does running cold air get me? - So colder temps mean I need to swerve more to warm my race tires up, right? - Do metal grates have good traction? - Does water get in the airbox...

From the US weather service: ...AN UNUSUALLY COLD WEATHER OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED OVER THE BAY AREA AND CENTRAL COAST DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WEEK... * A NEW MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS ORIGINATING OVER WESTERN CANADA WILL REACH THE BAY AREA AND CENTRAL COAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BE...

So this video has been making the rounds on facebook lately and apparently it's at least three years old on youtube, but since it seems there's been a little more tension about some LEOs on BARF lately I thought I'd throw it up. It's got something for everyone: A motorcycle A criminal...
