Fairfield PD is hosting their 5th annual Motorcycle training competition, this Saturday, June 2nd. It's usually pretty cool if you're into precision riding, and they also have a Harley category ;) Details here https://local.nixle.com/alert/6598090/?sub_id=7499093

This is bullshit (unless they will be ticketing more cages for being dangerous to riders, of course ;) ) http://www.dailyrepublic.com/news/fairfield/motorcycle-safety-enforcement-starts-in-fairfield/

I'm looking at buying an Oregon registered dirt bike (I live in Northern CA). Anyone happen to know if I'll run into any issues getting it OHV registered here? I'm concerned about transferring title,and special fees involved, and ultimately getting a green sticker on it. Thanks!

This is for bicycles: http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/hammerhead-better-way-navigate-while-cycling but I wonder if it's applicable to motos as well. Seems interesting

I've searched, but doesn't look like anyone else has picked up on this: (?) Link Looks like the CHP is partially moving to Electra Glides . I was pulled over last year by a moto cop told me that they were switching to Kawaski Concours, so I'm confused... Let the BARF love fly...

This guy is clearly interested in goodwill between moto/cages: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2013/07/10/tsr-moos-pkg-biker-saves-cup.cnn.html

I've been riding dirt with my 14 year old daughter and 11 year old son for about 3 years now - we started 3 years ago this winter with the MSF dirt school - my daugther rides a DRZ 125L, my son a KLX140 and I a KLX250s. We are definitely not beginners, but are nowhere near the skill level that...

Is this akin to the dreaded "motorcycle only checkpoint" that the AMA like to harp about: http://www.dailyrepublic.com/news/fairfield/fairfield-to-step-up-motorcycle-safety-patrol-on-saturday/ ? I don't like it ;)

Yes, I did search on this... My office is moving to Sunnyvale (from Mill Valley -talk about a change of environment) , and I'm weighing my commute options (follow the job, or get another one, carpool with a few other poor SOBs that live close and work at the same shop,etc.) . I'll probably be...

Not good: http://www.thereporter.com/news/ci_22596649/motorcyclist-critical-condition-after-crashing-into-semi-truck Heal up, rider.

just as I was enjoying the de-Priusing of the HOV lane, the drivers of Volt have been drafted to fill in for them. I've already encountered a few in HOV lane on 101 in Marin County, and thought they were just confused. Apparently I was.

A coworker (who loves to remind me how dangerous those damn things are, but is himself a General Aviation pilot, go figure), just informed me he passed a bike down in the #1 lane near Marinwood on SB 101.... Anyone have any info?

This should be sooo obvious from the DMV website, but it's not. It occurred to me that there might be a few speeding ticket experts here on BARF, so here goes... I received a speeding ticket in NV last month (in a car), which ended up being knocked down to 62 in a 55 (55, in rural NV.. WTF? )...

RIP rider. http://www.thereporter.com/news/ci_20520071/rio-vista-man-killed-crash Article states that he was from Rio Vista, which makes me inclined to think he knew that section of road well. That being said, the section between Suisun and Rio Vista is BAD, and there a no good places for a DY...
