Aprilia is shipping the new RSV4-X. It's a limited edition putting out a claimed 222 H.P. Is this something we should aspire to riding on the street? What is too much h.p.? Or is there such a thing? All modern bikes have electronic nanny help to keep the dumb or crazy from killing themselves too...

A link to the story: solo-motorcycle-collision-kills-rider-in-santa-cruz-mountains/ I sure hope CHP handles this properly, so the rider's survivors can do something against the responsible parties, if there is negligence. It reminds me of my head-on collision. You just never know, so smell the...

Have you ever died? It is a simple poll. You don't have to say anything else. This is not about Trump or any other bullshit you might imagine. That includes you - moderators. If you want to argue about what is death, please just start a new thread. I have died a couple of times. On the most...

We are having another religious attack at a Synagogue outside San Diego. And once again, officers have apprehended a murderer. Wow. It takes real skill and real bravery to capture an armed individual who has already committed violence. I can't thank the officers involved with today's situation...

Usually, I can find an error and eliminate the problem on forums. However, I have had very small forum parts, like the avatar/personality part to the left and the smilies for quite some time. It is like someone is trying to fit the forum into a small phone interface, even though I am using a...

$400k for a scam. Just when all the victims of the fires, and even shooting victims really need money, I thought it a stark reminder that there are always crooks willing to exploit the kind hearted. And some are harder to ferret out than others. I am VERY pleased that they are getting publicly...

This is not a negative post about riding. It is about the vicissitudes of life and maybe Astrology, Karma, or yo' mama. I rode the same little back road twice today between errands. I have ridden or driven this tiny bit of road at least a hundred times. Someone took up my entire lane with...

How did you find the Kitchen Sink? I realize that there are many more sections than at one time on BARF, however it has always been at the bottom. It's not exactly an obvious place to visit. AND (follow-up question, just like the White House Daily Briefing) will any new people ever find this...

Perhaps this could become a sticky, so that we don't have to have a separate thread for each meaningful day in our history. I am a bit surprised we are not talking about this day because it was rather shocking at the the time, and the man was certainly one of the most important in Twentieth...

Oh, I could find a half dozen things to complain about and post in different parts of my friend's BARF. However, I have enough SERIOUS negativity in my life and would like to share something positive. I sent a pair of Alpinestars Supertech-R boots in for a re-sole. I thought the soles should...

This damn poll better be private, or I will kill someone. (JUST KIDDING, FBI and other government dimwits.) I will not divulge my personal answer to this poll, only because I don't want to slant responses and have responses geared toward me, rather than the subject matter.

There are several examples of transgender talk in schools. So I didn't just link the current one I read about. I am not sure that four or five year olds are really ready to grasp this concept, and I wonder if it is counter productive to raising normal children. It is helpful for social growth or...

The fast MotoGP boys (sorry, no girls) are using or experimenting with thumb and finger rear brakes. I definitely can see the advantage on track for this set-up. In fact, I would really like it on any bike. However, like other issues, I may be out of the norm. Thus, this poll. What do ya' all...

For those who do not like the design of a GoPro, I just bought the Contour 2+ for this great price. With extra batteries, spare charger, 64 gig memory card, and tons of mounts, I paid less than $200. Awesome. I now have a couple of Roams and this 2+, which I have wanted for a long time. I like...

This is why I bought a bmw. That's right. That's right handed shooting, fool. I always wanted to be Hopalong Cassidy. Here's an excuse not to wear your gloves, kids. Story here: SAPS are cowboys Video here: ZX0R2p6neCs

I received a message from a friend recently that made a huge difference to me. The timing was perfect. It gives me hope. So, I will say, "Thank you", again, because that person is on barf. That's it. You have permission to give anonymous thanks to anyone. I encourage you to do it. :) You...

This is an anonymous barf confessional. This is your chance to amend all those wrongs on barf and admit that you might have been an unsavory poster, instigator, general fair-thee-well, or just an @sshat, and responsible for things. What I have noticed is that some people may have over-reacted...

This thread is inspired by a thread in General, and a Hooli link that lacked some of my favorite silly biking incidents. These are not serious accidents, so relax. You too can become famous. Work on it. Day one. Learning to get going. fNh0ba2-X_8&feature=fvw Day two. Learning to stop...
