    What to do with read bike mags

    I have about 80 magazines, Bike mag and Fast Bikes going back to 2007 and up to lasts months FB. Clearing out and wondered if there’s anywhere that could use them. What do y’all do with old magazines. Just throw them out? Thought about wallpapering the bathroom with them, but that’s not...

    Norton in trouble

    It looked like they had a solid plan with a new facility under construction and those new Atlas models on the way. Not good news. https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/norton-motorcycles/

    Triumph Moto2 765 announced

    Looks like a few articles have appeared today, and I got an email from Triumph suggesting I reserve mine now. No photos, specs or prices yet ( not that I saw anywhere) but looks like Aug 23 at silverstone will be the reveal event.

    Back protector Question

    I was wiping down my BP after a great Monday at Sonoma with Z2. I noticed it bends backwards really easily. I dont recall seeing it have so little resistance. I emailed Knox to say that it bends easily in the direction I'd thought it was supposed to help stop my spine from bending and asked if...

    MotoAmerica at Sonoma was GREAT

    Went on Sunday with my wife. What a great event !! The racing was awesome. Really enjoyed the Vintage race but also the way California's Josh Herrin put pressure on Toni Elias and really went for it towards the end of Superbike made for a great race; and of course Cameron was outstanding. The...

    5 day tour on new Street Triple #1

    Bought a new Street Triple (part of the research was following a recent thread on Barf) and after getting the 500 mile service done, thought I’d head out for a few days. Just got back; just over 1100 miles in 5 days/4 nights away. Not iron-butt standard but that’s still more than my usual...

    Thruxton R First impression

    This is my first impression, as I’ve only put 80 miles on the bike so far. I’ll do a more in-depth review for anyone who’s interested, after more miles. First; looks. Looks fantastic IMO. I guess you don’t buy a bike like this unless you like the way it looks. Riding position is relaxed...

    Heading to the TT in a week.

    Haven't been to the TT before. We have flights and accommodation booked, but if anyone has been and has and tips for how to plan the best places to watch from, how to get to those spots, or any other advice, that'd be awesome. Thanks

    If I was the Pope, here’s what I’d be working on….

    If I was the Pope, here’s what I’d be working on…. 1) Valentino to be the next saint 2) To tackle global warming; I’d have free parking for motorcycles in all cities, with subsidized gas and road tax for all 2 wheeled vehicles. 3) Motorcyclists to be encouraged to ride a bicycle once a month...

    My Wife Did A Trackday !

    My wife did a trackday last Friday. She’d never been interested before but a few months ago my friend said his wife was thinking of trying the woman’s vip day at Thunderhill but wanted someone to go with. Having a women’s only group made all the difference; without that I don’t think she’d have...

    New Ducati Monster 821; first impression

    I have a new Monster 821 dark. Traded in my ’07 speed triple 1080. First impressions; this is a really easy bike to ride. Riding position is a little more sitting up than the Triumph, but still with a slightly forward lean to the bars; a nice balance between comfort and a slightly sporty...

    heading back to the track

    Last time I was at the track I left for the trauma center in a helicopter. 10 months later after getting through a long list of injuries and I’m heading back next Monday. I’ve been replacing and upgrading my protective gear, as much for mental as physical reasons. New helmet, of course, some...

    A Grand Day Out

    There’ve been a few “back on the bike after injury” posts recently and it’s been motivating to read about Barfers getting back in the saddle. (Actually reading Barf has kept me motivated and sane lately) So, my first day back was yesterday. It’s been almost 5 months since a total of 10...

    How long before a bike is "retro"?

    Some guy, looking at my Speed Triple said "those were the days; when they made them with the round, chrome headlights". Holy sh*t, is my 2007 bike a retro now?
