Almost got sideswiped* by a car while riding NB 101 in S. Bay during morning commute today. What the car did: moved quickly and aggressively from Lane1 to Lane2, perfectly timed to catch me out while I was passing in Lane2 at 5-10mph delta. What the rider did: executed Right Swerve to shift...

Crash analysis / dogpile here. Lowsided going up Mt. Ham today. The bike slid over 50 feet into the opposing lane, I slid about 20 feet but stayed in lane. Result: minor/replaceable bits on the Street Triple look really bad (both brake levers, turn signal, exhaust can), otherwise no damage...

Event: Lowside entering semi-blind uphill right hander - front let go in gravel Location: Mt. Hamilton Rd, ~1/4 mile from entrance to Lick Observatory Me: 3.5 yrs "real" riding, 60k miles total (commute, recreational twisties, road trips, track), ~20x up & down Mt. Ham Rd Bike: '14 Triumph...

You read that correctly: just a little over 14,000 miles on this loaded ABS-equipped FJR. Many would say it’s not even broken in yet. Price: $4,250 with at least 1% (I'll round up) going to BARF if it sells to a BARFer. This price is firm because 1) it's clearly a smoking deal, and 2)...

I have a spare stock DRZ-S wheelset (21"/18", rotors, sprocket, etc) including 90/10 Shinkos with ~70% tread left and am interested in trading them for a DRZ supermoto wheelset (probably with some $$ on top). PM me if there's interest - also happy to move this to a different forum if appropriate.

Rode through yesterday. Generally clean and dry. Still a lot of snow on top (not on the road surface) and there's a (fun) short water crossing on the west side where a creek flooded.

. . .starting ~Quincy and ending in South Bay. Exclude the routes one would ride on a BARF rally around Quincy. . . I'll be tacking on a few days of riding after the BARF Pit-Ho Spring Rally. I'm good for 10-14 hours saddle time per day and will be prepared for both motel-ing and camping (but...

Did 120 scrub-in(ish) miles with the brand new RS3s on the FJR, from goats to sweepers and a small stretch of slab (Alba, Empire, Smith, Bonny Doon, Swanton, Pesky, Alpine, blah blah). So far, I REALLY like these tires. Sidewalls (at 32/34 psi) offer a nice balance of vertical compliance and...

Passed by this south of Big Basin on 236 late this afternoon: No signs of the rider; hope he/she is OK. I can PM the plate # if this bike/rider is of specific interest to someone.

Hi BARF: [with Budman's blessing] I'm kicking around an idea for a safety-related motorcycle-focused product. I'm personally bootstrapping the whole thing, and before I throw down substantial amounts of my own $$ I'd like to get some primary market research from the actual people who might...

I'll make my first visit today, ~10am-1pm. Just exploring the greens and (maybe) blues on my dual sport. I'd be happy to ride with anyone willing to just putter around for a couple hours. I'll be on the yellow DRZ400S with black handguards and translucent Clarke mega-tank.

Bay (east) side of 9 is now open, with one lane controls for ~ 1/2 mile about halfway up.

...Almost got a$$-packed tonight. 101 south out of SSF a bit past twilight. Cruising at 60 in #1. Traffic ahead gets on the brakes for a major slowdown. No problem, I get on the brakes. Reflexively check my mirrors, and out the left one i see two headlights starting to dive left into the...

(kicking off a thread coming out of this one in General) This video by Roadcraft Nottingham was a revelation to me. I think this has been discussed on this forum, but in the spirit of providing newbies like me good and useful tips for safe riding on the street (especially twisty streets)...

As a noob, I want to thank all the experienced BARFers so willing to give of their time and knowledge to bring up riders like me. Today it was folks like two wheel tramp, flying hun, honey badger, kazman, tzrider, mlm, and others I failed to meet or mention. But I've been on this forum just...
