Sold!

Has anyone had a dealership tell them they are "not getting anymore of (insert model) this year." I'm honestly curious if manufacturers halt production on extremely popular motorcycles and limit production? If a dealership is moving units why wouldn't they allocate more? Just curious on this...

***SOLD***

Has anyone heard anything lately? I'm wondering if something is up with it, I've been wanting to test ride one. I haven't heard anything on the LiveWire and now Harley's website says: Last I heard maybe August, but that's right around the corner and I haven't heard or seen any updates from...

Came across this guy after he posted to Reddit I believe (or maybe it was here?) This guy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3prOJsgwqm5H36qgliJtFA is heading south on a DR650 from SF. Already into Mexico (Episode 1 is him crossing the border). I don't know him and don't have any affiliation...

Not sure if this has been posted but just went to Zero's website and it looks like they are dropping something "big" 2/25/2019. When you click on Get Notified it says Zero SR/F. Any thoughts on what they might be cooking up? Long range? Level 3 charging? https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/

HOLY BAD TITLE BATMAN.... It should read "Totally NOT Looking To Get My Bike Dyno'd" Does anyone recommend a place to totally not get your bike dyno tuned in the bay? I would never think of potentially adjusting the power vision map. It's a 2017 Harley Low Rider S. It has definitely not been...

So I've got a 2017 Harley FXDL S, and about 5 months ago I had 2-1 Thunderheaders put on along with a dyno tune. It runs great but it's so damn loud :afm199 . I kept my stock pipe but I didn't grab the 02 sensors from the shop who put on the pipe. I've been thinking of commuting on the bike as...

So I just picked up a 2017 Harley FXDL S. Currently at about the ~230 mile mark and I've been following the engine break in procedures in the manual. Trying to keep all gears under 3500rpms, no full throttle take-offs, don't lug, etc. I commute to work about ~13miles each way. It says not to...

Edit: Nevermind - looks like it works.. answered my own questions: http://www.fz09.org/forum/113-xsr900-gear-accessories/11705-confirmed-akrapovic-titanium-exhaust-fz09-fits-xsr900-high-mount-coming.html Anyone have any experience with the XSR900 and putting on a full exhaust? tl;dr: Exhaust I...

Hey BARF! So I have some potential life change stuff going on so my 2016 Yamaha XSR900 has to go. This thing is basically new - purchased down here in Santa Barbara a few months ago. It has Rizoma mirrors, Rizoma front turn signals, Yamaha XSR radiator guard, and New Rage Cycles fender...

Thought I'd update everyone. Did my CVSA the other day, BI administering claimed I was lying about my drug use and that I was purposefully withholding information from them. Both of those questions said I was "lying." I was telling the truth but the BI believed the CVSA. My official BI hasn't...

Hey all! It's been awhile since I've posted on BARF but figured I'd come to the LEO forum for advice. I'm about to take my CVSA in a couple weeks and I'm not worried about that except for the standard nervousness of the process. I also have another interview at the Golden Gate Division HQ, I'm...

I turn to you wise folks on ideas on how to fix my garage door. I do rent so I cant do anything crazy. Basically the Garage door when closed has fairly large gaps so plenty of heat/bugs/skinny homeless can get in. Any ideas on how to fix these gaps?

Out of curiosity has anyone worked in insurance and can explain why new release motorcycles come with such a hefty insurance price tag? I'm shopping around XSR900 prices and they come back extremely high. Quick Google searches show the same experience with others. The bike has the same engine...
