Hello, was wondering if anyone has tips for locating tracks that offer motorcycle track days. I’m getting ready to move to Florida(Pensacola area) and I’m not too familiar with the surroundings. I previously lived in Pensacola for a while, but wasn’t riding at the time. I have found a few...

I've been following motogp for a few seasons now, and I love it. However, I don't fully understand the intricacies of riders/teams that make up each race. I know there are the factory teams, that generally get the newest technology and more resources(right?). Then there are some satellite...

Hey Everyone, I posted one of these a while back and it worked great, so giving it another shot. My former employer is looking for a specific motorcycle to use in an engineering study at their office in Palo Alto. They are an accident reconstruction company and are researching an accident that...

Hey Everyone, My former employer is looking for a specific motorcycle to use in an engineering study at their office in Palo Alto. They are an accident reconstruction company and are researching an accident that occurred involving this model. If you are interested in participating they will pay...

I've recently moved to Florida to start some training with the Navy, and the CO has basically put the kibosh on riding motorcycles while we're here. Anyone have any tips on how to keep a bike in good shape while it's not being ridden regularly? I should be fine riding it around the block...

I'm hoping I can be super lazy here and cut out some time researching this on my own :teeth Does anyone know a great place to buy tires at a good value? Any websites(motorcycle superstore, etc), or any good special sales going on?? Is it best to buy tires online and then bring them to a shop...

I'm looking to buy a new chain and have it installed pretty soon here. Does anyone know of a shop that can do this around the Palo Alto/ Mountain View area? Around Martinez or Concord would also work. I'm not having much luck searching on Google and Yelp. Thanks! :ride

Ouch! Pretty funny commentary though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuWVR2Dv5vM

Can anyone provide a recommendation for where to buy a battery on the peninsula? Preferable Mountain View/ Palo Alto area. After letting my bike sit in my garage while on vacation the battery died. It has also been leaking a bit of acid :(. Just looking for a good value battery I can pick up and...

Hopefully this hasn't been posted, looks like it's a few months old. Pretty good response from the second crashed rider at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeTwmL2oHHE

All, With it getting dark out earlier now, does anyone have input about commuting in the dark? I have been commuting for 7 months now and have done a fair amount of riding at night including on the freeway but not in rush hour traffic. I would think it would be more difficult for other cars to...

My bike broke down on the way home from work on Friday, and I could not immediately find a shop in Fremont for my insurer to have it towed to. Does anyone know of a mechanic that may be able to come to my place(in Fremont) to take a look at it? It seems to be something in the charging system/...

This may be a common sense answer, but I can't find anything about it on a google search. Every day, while commuting from work, I take the Willow Road exit on North 101 near Menlo Park. There is usually a back up on this exit, which is a single lane off the free way. Is it okay to lane split...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdAPTSQy4YQ#t=45 Wooow this looked intense. Sorry if this has been posted already. the dude was SO close to a head on right before he launched. It looks like you could see his shadow on the SUV as it passed.

What are some of the basic maintenance practices that I can make a habit of doing on my motorcycle? I don't know much about my bike, and would like to feel confident in my ability to recognize some potential issues with the bike and gain some general familiarity of my motorcycle. It can be...

Hello, I'm selling a engine protection/ stunt cage which has never been used. I have the box that the parts were picked up in with everything needed to install the cage. This would be great for a beginner who might drop their bike or for someone stunting their bike. See link to product for more...

**I was going to post this in the 1rider sub forum, but don't have access yet** It seems to have dried out a lot after the rain stopped on the peninsula yesterday morning. How long after rain would one consider conditions to be back to normal? The roads around here seem very dry, but I'm not...

Hi All, I'm a new member to BARF. I got my license when I was 20 in 2010, and just bought my first bike(just turned 25) a couple weeks ago. It's a 2006 Suzuki GSXR 600. It' s a lot of fun, I've mostly been riding very locally at night around Mountain View. I got pretty far down Arastradero...
