$40 for barfers. The paint is a little scuffed in places from moving around, but it has never been used to lift anything. Sold my project bike due to lack of time and needing the space. This has to go too... See here for pic -...

If you are on Barf please take this in the spirit it is intended - keeping you safer riding. I assume you ride the same route frequently and am concerned a couple of things might be overlooked in your riding that are putting you at the mercy of other road users. You seem like a reasonable...

I usually do Fastrak and have spun up the rear tire on occasion accelerating away. Today, new plate, so went through the cash lane. Glad I stopped with the bike nice and upright, cos as I put my right foot down it felt like I'd put my boot into a puddle of troll snot. On this occasion it was...

Caging it home from work last night I580. Listening to the radio, not paying attention to my speed. Look in the mirror "uh oh" cruiser. No lights yet. Speed too high. Slow down, blink and move over to the right by one lane. So does he. Repeat. I know where this is going. Predictably the...

Hi All Please be careful when riding Mines and Mt Hamilton Hwy this SUNDAY 05/27/2012, especially from San Jose TO Livermore direction. As always on Memorial day weekend, there will be racing bicycles, LEO presence, and support and sweep vehicles on course, and at times moving slowly. Please...

Been a month since the locked thread was updated. Hope things are going well for him.

I bought a non sealed battery with acid, filled it charged it all is happy. Then I realized that if the bike falls over (this is for an R1150gs so some off road duty can be expected) all the acid will come out and that will be very bad. Why are non-sealed batteries even for sale for...

Reading this forum made me realize how tight knit and supportive this community is. Its an unfortunate fact that some of us are injured, some recovering, others adapting to new ways of living. But all of us still share a passion for the sport, hobby and transportation that is motorcycling. I...

Hi all If anyone had a red Ducati stolen and not recovered there is a beat up/crashed frame and motor on Berry St under the I280 elevated section in SF. I have a couple of photos of the bike and the VIN. Unfortunately the bike is in a sad state and looks totally wrecked/parted out of anything...

I am not sure if any of the CHP on here work CA24 around the Caldecott Tunnel or know the officers that do and can pass on my thanks. About 11.30 this morning some guy in a Nissan SUV was swerving all over the road, clearly high on something, and among other erratic driving, almost knocked...

Fits bikes both with and without rear spools (reversible). Looks like this - http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=&item=PBU_F0028-000 $90 Stand is 2 years old - bought new for $150+tax. Has minor scratches from use (as a new one will get the first time you use it) but is in...

SOLD This bike has not missed a beat and has taken me to Texas and back, is fun in the twisties and gets stellar gas mileage (55-65+ for me). Time to let it go for a dual sport so I can do some off road riding in my touring. Pics: Photos -...

Looked like a black Monster or other naked bike. Rider was being taken away by ambulance - looked to be heading to the hospital off Potrero. Did not see his/her condition. Bike was down on it's left side in the left lane, no other vehicle visible, but if I had to guess from the way the bike was...

My company is hosting an event in LA and I would like to ride my bike down to it and take in some twisties rather than fly. The IRS rules talk about claiming a standard 55c mileage allowance for using your private 'car' for business use, but nothing of 'vehicles' in general. Has any BARFer...
