I am wondering if there's a FAQ here for motorcyclists involved in accidents. My wife was hit from behind today while in the Mission and while she is mostly OK, she was pinned under the car between two bumpers and is bruised and very shook up. She's not at fault, and the police came and an...

The other day I saw somebody made a custom high windscreen: It inspired me! I tried to make one, but using a flat piece of plexiglass: Have not yet tested it at highway speeds. Bets on whether it will break right away and slice me up? :rolleyes Anybody used one of these...

tldr; my apartment has become a bike magnet :-) I live in SF but don't have a garage so in the past I've parked on the street. More recently I've been parking them outside my apartment windows because I asked a meter maid guy one morning during the street cleaning sweep if it was OK to park...

Since this is my favorite type of thing to read on BARF i'll share my story about how my bike got run over by a truck last week. I parked my bike at Dolores park on 20th street near Church by gay beach and was having a burrito on the grass a little ways away when I heard a loud BONK and CRUNCH...

Sometimes I park at the very end of a block of parking spaces. It's like I'm barely there, I take only 3-4 feet away from that parking spot. A car still fits in just fine. Yet when I get that ticket, its the full $55. F*** those parking maids. Why can't I get any motorcycle love??

Does anyone have motocross training videos that they could loan or sell to me? I want to get better... I know I am developing bad habits because I only started riding about a year ago and I mostly ride by myself. Also I suck, and am slow, and am scared to go fast/high off of jumps.

I went down to Metcalf last weekend and had a blast on my new bike. Thankfully I didn't drop it, though I came close out on those rocky sections on the trails. The bike had 50 hours on it when I bought it and still has the factory tires. I'm trying to decide whether to buy DOT tires or just say...
