ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
- It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again
1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
- animals, though free re-homing is ok.
- anything illegal.
- drugs, legal or not.
2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:
- Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY.
- motorcycle or other vehicle:
- make [MANDATORY]
- model [MANDATORY]
- year [MANDATORY]
- Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
- mileage
- title info
- current condition
- maintenance history
- accident history
- location
- If selling riding gear, include:
- size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
- in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.
- motorcycle or other vehicle:
- Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
- DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
- Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
- Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
- With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.
3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!
- Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
- Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
- Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
- Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
- Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958
4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad
- Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
- If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
- If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
- If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.
5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF
- Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.
BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
- If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
- We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.
6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
- No reposting
- No reposting
- No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.
7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
- Is not allowed.
8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
- Is no longer allowed.
If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.

might want to check out those armored shirts & pants then you can wear any jacket etc. also moto-x armor another option there's tons of elbow, knee/shin and torso stuff available. but remember if you want to start haulin' ass then nothing is better than leathers. I always ask myself would I want to go down at this speed, that usually is enough to back down pretty quickly.

Where can I buy those moto-x armor and armored shirts & pants? I can't seem to find them in the URL you posted. (http://www.chaparral-racing.com/) Would it be weird to wear motorcross elbow and knee pads underneath my clothes?
Thanks for the info and advise, Max! You rock!

click on apparel then dirt then a mfr. (like AXO) then protection.
I wear MX knee guards under my jeans everyday (even now
) forget they're there, pretty comfy. the new ones even have dual density foam behind the hard shell cups and more coverage. elbow guards would be the same, easy on/off with stretchy velcro straps. but I bet there's XS gear out there. used to be a couple businesses tailored for women riders only. try searching the net a bit.
another alternative is to purchase your gear and have it customized, say at helimot's or in the city by Johnson Leather.
necessity is the mother of invention!
oops, there are less dirt bike oriented gear in the ads section of most magazines too... Bohn armor co.? I think is one. I been thinking of getting padded shorts, kinda' like bike shorts, for hip and other padding.
oops again, have you been 'round to the local shops? Road Riders has tons of gear. Scuderia in the city. etc. Lots of "leather" shops too :chuci :teeth hee hee

From one short person to another...
I'd suggest getting a set of customfit leathers. Check out Helimot in San Jose.
http://www.helimot.com/
Or the not as good choice but cheaper option...
Buy a set of leathers that almost fits and bring it to a leather shop that will alter it to fit you. That's what I did, way before I started riding (was just a pillion). If I were to do it again though, I'd go with the customfit Erbo leathers.

Like DA said sounds like you have to go the custom leathers route. Well worth it in my opinion.

If you start to consider the leather route, you might also want to check out www.tigerangel.com If anything just to have something to compare. It really pisses me off that there isn't more selection...and I like to pretend that I have tons of options even though in reality its only something like 3
Anyway, if you don't mind waiting 3 months, you get a custom fit/color suit for a fairly good price due to the Aussie exchange rate. I think I priced out a one piece for about a grand..and they have cheaper street suit options as well.
You can touch the leathers at La Motavita. Though I don't recommend buying them there. Direct is cheaper.
Oh, and do you have really small hands? If so, what gloves do you have? A friend of mine does and is having trouble finding a rugged pair that fit...
Goodluck...although I wish you didn't need it

Re: Shorty Sympathy
THANKS for the info Simulator. I will check them out.
I agree. There are not very much choices out there. I have been told it's because motorcycling is a male dominated activity. So, women's clothing/gear doesn't sell very well. That's got to change! Guys! Start making your girlfriends ride! Fellow females! Start riding!
A friend recommended me to check out Aerostich suit. < http://www.aerostich.com/riderwearhouse.store > They're almost as expensive as a leather suit. I think, they cost around $800. They can alter the suit to fit. They come in a 2-piece as well. Something to consider too.
I don't think I have small hands. I use Olympia gloves. I like them a lot. You can buy them at any Cycle Gear store and at Scooteria (or is it called Scuderia?) in SF.
Best, mrtnz

They are also sold at Helimot or at your local BMW motorcycles dealer too usually.
I have Held gloves and LOVE them!!! They are kangaroo leather and mold to fit your hands and they have the rivets in the palm to protect you if you slide.Simulator said:

Is there a group discount in this procedure if I join in
???I agree to try Tiger Angel leathers at LaMotoVita. I was able to get the jacket one size bigger than the pants, and still pay standard price. The legs are a little bunchy at the bottom, but since I'm 4'10" they'd probably be fine on you. Anyway, only took three weeks and cost about $900, but the leathers are super soft and I love wearing them and extra bonus: no uncomfortable break-in. I tried to get some leathers altered by Helimot, and they said it would be anywhere from $250 to $400, because I needed the legs shortened, and they're the hardest. Pics of the leathers at

Look at the Ninja 250 folder...Good luck!!!

three weeks is much better than three months for Tiger Angel!
oh, and Amy at LaMotaVita is good people...you might remember her selling Vanson at ScuderiaWest. she knows leather for sure.
i have the Held gauntlets and love them too. unfortunately, the do not fit my friend. Blah.
Johnson's Leather in SF does armor fit and alterations too. i don't know anything about their pricing though...
and you know, lots of women ride! maybe we just don't complain to the manufacturers enough...

I did meet Amy at Scuderia. I will look for her and check out those Held gauntlets. Thanks!
I have heard about Johnson's Leather. They make the uniforms for the CHP.
I just wrote to Joe Rocket. They weren't of any help. They said..

YES! We should start complaining! I believe if they just put them out there, somebody will buy them.
