My new-to-me bike came with a bunch of stuff from the previous owner which does not fit me. Here's the list: Sedici Carbon helmet, L. In great shape. $125 without Sena (below), $250 total with Sena Sena 10R-1 bluetooth module (installed on helmet now) $125 if I can get it off Scorpion...

I've been on BARF since 2006 or so. I've been noticing people have a "contributor + X%" below their name and for the life of me can't find anything about what that means, or how to contribute to BARF. Checked the forums, banners, etc. Happy to contribute, just don't know how, and if I don't...

$5950 My sister had another kid so I found her a Passat wagon, and she's selling the Prius. Very clean, known history. Tapped in the rear but quality repair and not salvage title. Details here: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5716963383.html (Note: my brother in law wrote the ad and got...

SOLD I need to sell my BMW. I (still) have to have another knee surgery soon, and it's likely that I won't be able to ride for about a year or so. Note this is not a desperation sale - I have the space to store it and I will, if I don't get a fair price. EDIT - looks like my surgery is next...

My sister is a veterinarian, and is being transferred to San Jose (Campbell) to continue her dermatology specialty rotation/internship. She is looking for a house rental, something like this: Ideal home would be a pet friendly, 3 bedroom house with a fenced in yard. Bonus points for good...

I'm going to be selling my BMW. I have to have another knee surgery and it's likely that I won't be able to ride for about a year or so. I will update this post with pictures and more details, so consider this a pre-sale. The bike is a 2007 and just turned 20k miles. Unlike many other...

Anyone have an R6 stolen in SF? https://local.nixle.com/alert/5172938/?sub_id=97968

I have a $100 off gopro coupon which expires tonight, not going to use it. You can get $100 off the Hero 3+ silver or black edition, at gopro.com. Interested, PM me. First come first served, free.

Haven't seen this one reported. Motorcycle on 680 struck a car that had crashed and was facing the wrong way in his lane. http://claycord.com/2013/11/25/update-motorcyclist-killed-after-striking-disabled-car-on-i-680-identified/

The obvious one is "don't" but the days are getting shorter and twice this week I've had to go home after dark. Reflective tape, reflective clothing are also obvious. I think the #1 lane is the safest as you are only protecting from one side, compared to all other lanes. Splitting is more...

I've noticed that a lot of area bikes have out of state plates. A lot. I know when I moved to CA, I had to immediately register my car with the state of CA. I think it was the same for the bike. Obviously a number of people are skirting the law, but I'm wondering why. Engines not CA legal...

I am!

There's a bike parked near my house that seems odd to me. Never seen it before, tags are expired, and it has some damage. I figure the owner either crashed and left it, or someone stole it and is waiting to come back for it. I tried calling Rockridge Two Wheels, no answer from either service...

If you've read any of my posts, you know I'm not an uber-agressive rider and my focus is safety - getting to and from work in one piece. My commute is Walnut Creek to Palo Alto and back, and I chose a black and white R1200RTP thinking that more people will see/notice me (it works, sometimes)...

Came out of the Caldecott Tunnel today and about 1/2 mile later saw a white CHP car parked off to the side. Officer was standing on the side of the road, facing traffic, holding what looked like binoculars. Is this a new/recent type of speed measuring device (guessing laser)?
