Last weekend I took a quick detour out to The Wall. Last time I had been there was about a year or two ago with a small crew including MadDevil to clean it up. We noticed all the benches were broken and defunct and guard rail totally bashed in. It was refreshing to see multiple benches put...

Often we discuss the best roads in the best setting - 70's, light wind, bends in the road, birds chirping. . . With rain upon us, do any of you fellow 4 season riders have "nice" landmarks to ride to in the rain? I'm thinking tall Redwoods for rain coverage and roads that have little pine...

I bunged up the TC sensor on my FZ09. It threw a check engine light code because of it and wanted to know if there are any independent mechanics that has access to an ECU tool for resetting? Willing to pay for time/assistance. Thinking of having this done around Thanksgiving weekend as I...

In riding for a decade, I used to want everything associated with riding to be on the premium side in terms of gear. Now it's time for me to get another replacement daily helmet and I'm not really lusting over a premium helmet even though I have the funds. Instead, I'm looking at entry level...

https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-to-ban-sale-of-new-gas-only-cars-in-15591347.php Do you think this will ever influence the sale of gas-powered motorcycles?

With the air quality so poor, it gives me time to rummage through all my parts and toss stuff. What do you all do with spare parts that come with farkles that you know you may never use (at all)? Do you hang onto it? Do you just bin it? Examples: Alternate screws/bolts for other models...

Seeking garage space for storage and light maintenance work for 2 of my motorcycles. Preferred to be private enclosed space but open if it's shared. Anywhere in a 40 mile radius to SF. PM me to disclose details. I'm a working professional, very responsible, high credit, traveled immensely.

Returning to do my second trackday after a long 5 year hiatus. What's the perspective of running 50% tread tires in Group C? I have some Pirelli Angel GTs (A spec) that will probably last the entire day but wanted to hear opinions from others. Obviously putting on some new tires are better...

I have two right lower fairings (cover the entire clutch cover) in black. - OEM slightly rashed, great for track day bodywork or road, whatever you want to do. There are no cracks and foam padding is still on. It's really only a 3x3" area that is noticeable. - Ebay China-knock off, also in...

Now surpassing a decade of riding, I find it interesting I haven't come across a golden rule regarding the preventative overhaul of a motorcycle when it ages past 10 yrs old or 50k miles. In talking with a few veterans, their take is not to replace anything until it breaks down but I find that...

About a month in of us being SIP, I've debated with myself if I should change my financial ways related to one of my favorite topics - motorcycles. With currently having 3 motorcycles, I would still consider myself being financially conservative with one of my favorite hobbies. I've never...

Hello helpful LEOs, I was just curious what your current protocols are when you are observance of people not obeying the stay-at-home mandate. Is it a fineable citation? Verbal warning? This is not meant to discuss what is right or wrong, I am just curious what your current statute is for...

I was just thinking this would probably be the most ideal time to do an Iron Butt 1000 with minimal traffic on the roads. :ride

Free stock exhaust for second gen. Yamaha FZ1. Pickup in SF.

So in my decade of riding, fortunately I have never needed to do this but the other week I saw a rider in need and couldn't come up with the right solution. Say you're side bag or top case comes undone and falls off right in the middle of 101. You pull over because you're invaluable laptop is...

Have a new unused OEM clutch cable still in its plastic wrapper for KLR650 2008+ models. $15 and will deliver in SF if it's not raining.

I have a set of lightly used Nelson Rigg saddlebags, circa 2014 or so. Need to make some room, selling for $25 to a good home. Can deliver in SF. They are all black.

I was going to post this in The Garage but thought I probably would get more results here so mods, please move if applicable. I'd like to know from the fellow mechanics/DIYers what you think is an appropriate estimate from an independent shop to diagnose a motorcycle issue, esp. the most time...

Sure I can do a search for what people have asked previously but what fun is that? This upcoming weekend I'll have two full days to explore the Lake Tahoe area by bike, what are some must do's road wise including any moto friendly eateries? I've done 49 East to 89 a few years ago but that's...

Hello, Putting a feeler out for my 2008 Yamaha FZ1. It has started to give me mechanical issues in the last 500 miles and I simply do not have the time to troubleshoot. The engine will turn "off" at various times while riding and I will simply turn the electricals off by key, turn it back on...
