Which fabric in theory flows more air at speed: thick textile, or perforated leather? I've never used either. The textile jacket I'm eyeing has cordura on the chest. The reason I'm in the market is for something cooler than my race leathers, so I figured textile. But I prefer the safety of...

I figure there's no wiggle room for arguing a vanity plate being declined by the DMV, but I figure ask before I give up. Any experiences with this? Mine was declined because it has raw in it. As in rawr. They're saying raw is a profanity. :afm199

Summer Dainese - mesh vs textile My full-leather Dainese racing jacket is just too hot for casual Sunday trips to Hog Island or Alice's. I'm looking to increase ventilation by about 30%. I'm both weary and unfamiliar with wearing anything but full leather, so I'm hoping someone can chime in...

I'm a weekend warrior and sometimes only make it out once a month. A tender isn't an option, and neither is lugging my battery into our apartment to leave it on a trickle charger (at least not with my current fiance :Party ) I've done some initial reading on acid vs lithium-ion vs lithium-ion...

Apologies if the wrong section. I'm curious if someone can confirm if my Geico premium is competitive. I'd shop around online to compare, but I feel like it won't give an accurate quote. For example, I was charged a deal more over the phone with Geico than I was when I first quoted it on...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this! Curious to hear any recommended routes in the Northbay for some twisty riding. I've enjoyed HWY1 and a few of the roads that connect 101 to 1, but are there any tried-and-true routes floating around? I've enjoyed Skaggs in the past, but it's a...

Need to replace my rear tire. I'm not at home but I think it came with a Pirelli Diablo. When it comes to weekend riding on non-rainy days in the Bay Area, is there any reason to go Sport-Touring instead of just Sport? My riding style looks like semi-spirited trips to Alice's, Pt Reyes, etc...

I'm finally back on the road after a few year hiatus. I've done a few passes through the Caldecott Tunnel, and each time I felt really shaky on the seams on the Westward side. The thing is that they're hardly seams. Rather, it's more the "raked" style of road, like a zen garden. This is odd...

Hoping to purchase an S2R-1000 this weekend (off a BARF'er nonetheless)! I searched hard for the perfect red-on-white, but I'll "settle" for this red-on-black as it makes the most sense. Many prefer black but my heart is set on white. I'm interested an even rim swap (twss). Would be great if...

Looking for a little beginner guidance: Will a 5-year old Dainese jacket's inner zipper be compatible with a modern pair of Dainese pants? I'm not seeing much of a difference between the Alien and Pony pants. My main use will be for weekend trips up the coast, but I'd like to do my first...

Hi team, Looking for a pretty specific S2R1k: Red with white wheels. Will consider black for white down the line Unmodded or done tastefully, has both fairings <10kmi, can be substituted for being well-kept/with a service history Bonus: original owner, red key etc. Cash is ready to go...

Looking for a second-hand Arai Signet-Q in medium if anyone has one layin' round :thumbup

Looking for parts for my 1989 ex500. Thanks! Mirrors: left and right Front fairing Right hand brake lever Back right turn signal

The classic starter bike! Ran fine until a lowside about two years ago. Has healthy guts, just needs some cosmetic TLC. Ninja EX500 1989 ~25k miles red and black red rims salvage, street-legal, have title etc This month: new battery new spark plugs new oil and oil filter new gas and gas...

Think it's time to replace an ignition coil on my 1989 EX500, and I'm itching to fix it this weekend. Are there any stores in the greater Bay Area that might stock something like this?
