Don Harrell passed on Friday January 29th. Don set the standards for restoration of British motorcycles. He had a huge collection of Brit bikes and he had gatherings at his house/shop the night before the Hanford rally that would rival or surpass the Hanford show. Great guy and always helpful to...

Got there fairly early on Saturday and the place was already wall to wall campers, toy haulers, motorhomes, pickups and trailers. Every parking area was seemingly full, even the parking lot that is a couple miles just outside of Stonyford. Weather was terrific, low 70’s and virtually no dust and...

This covid thing is messing up the calendar once again. No word on the Classic in late summer yet though. https://mailchi.mp/iomttraces/merry-christmas-from-the-isle-of-man-tt-races-1745671?

I was given a old single cylinder Ducati motor that was left outside for about twenty + years. Thinking that just a dose of ingenuity, patience, some anti corrosion juice, a block of wood and a few firm hammer blows would get things to loosen up. Well things did not go as planned and with the...

I am delivering a bike in Carlsbad on this Wednesday Oct 14th and returning with a empty pickup on Friday the 16th. Room to transport a bike back to the Bay Area. No monster big bikes, I only have a small Toyota but got some room for something. Available to pick up on Thursday after my delivery...

This may not affect purchases made in the US but I ordered something before the shut down and when it did not arrive I inquired and turns out it was coming from Australia. No problem, but it supposedly is in Seattle just sitting there either waiting for customs, detox or whatever with no...

Now that I and many of you are trapped at home and cuddled up with either your motorcycle, honey or laptops, I am finding that what used to be pretty good wi fi in our home is gradually deteriorated to the point that I have to wander about the house to sometimes get a page to finish loading...

I got a 97 BMW Funduro about two months ago and have solved a couple electrical problems. Just by chance I ran into a guy who had a 97 ST (Strada) he got as a parts bike and he said I could exchange any parts I wanted from the ST to my Funduro, they are both the same year. Except for wear items...

Prewitt Ridge overlooking Big Sur off of Naciamento Ferguson Rd. View north and south of the ocean for 30 miles, maybe watch hang gliders launching. Great place just a few miles east of Hwy one but up at 1500 + - feet elevation.

Hello everyone, Geezer here :afm199 and mistakenly thought that BARF was primarily oriented towards crotch rockets, should have checked it out sooner. Anyway, here I am. Been riding since the mid 60's both on and off road with a little racing (mostly enduros) thrown in. Been in the Bay Area...
