My first track excursion (BARF noob winner here). My first time transporting a moto to the track. This is the truck my wife has wrangled from a co-worker to let me get my bike to the track. I'm confident I will be able to haul my moto but, from those who have experience, is it possible to get 2...

Was gone from the street this morning in Ivy Hill/China Hill area - 8th ave right off of Park. Aprilia rsv Mille r 2001 Black and red Lic: 22E7502 Vin: ZD4RPE01X1S000011 Not sure if I have photos it's a fairly new to me bike. If I track some down I'll update post. It does have an old rash on...

Fucking amateur hour but a least I still have my moto. So counting myself lucky but I do need to get the ignition fixed. Any sage advise from you Oaktownites? Locksmith that can come to my location? I can get it towed somewhere but that is a pita so would prefer to avoid

Previous weekend I intentionally didn't go on a ride because of all the horror show reports and related chatter that got into my psyche (yes I know it was a holiday weekend and a bloody valentine at that)... but this weekend I had opportunity to connect with folks down in Boulder Creek so I...

How's Palomares this time of year?

My general tinfoil hat paranoia aside, is having the VIN on a post actually useful for buyers? And are there risks to having it up there?

This thing is an awesome inspiring machine that can hustle with the sporty crowd up in them thar hills but still serve as a more relaxed roadster. And that engine… mmm. Has been meticulously maintained and serviced regularly and on schedule including recent full service (the big$ one) Asking...

So my father in law, who is awesome and has done so much to help my family, is turning 70 and I want to hook him up with a classic car for the day. Sounds like he's an old geezer but turns out these boomers are stupidly healthy. Dude is probably better fit than I am. Certainly has better knees...

I blame the kids. Trying to manage their summer camp schedules and work and... any way, because I had to cage to work yesterday the shoes I normally leave at work got taken home with me. So when I got in today and went to change out of the A* SMX-plus boots... erp. Now normally the "clonk"...

I must admit to having an tryst with another bike over last weekend. I rode a '14 GSXR-1000 and it was awesome. In many ways the S3 is still comparable - especially in streetable power (and I was surprised the weight difference wasn't as noticeable as I would have suspected though that could be...

Since I seem to be bombing teh BARFs today... what gear/accessories shops are there in Oakland/East Bay? I know there is East Bay Motorsports but are there any other shops for gear in the Oakland vicinity? I usually go to 1 of 3 or 4 shops in SF that I know pretty well but don't really want to...

Looks like I'm going to purchase a bag for a longer ride I'm doing this weekend. Basically don't think my shoulders will be happy carrying the load I need to take with me after 6 hours of riding. Looking at something like the Kriega US20. Always been a backpack and shorter trip rider... Which is...

Heading up to the northern homeland. I have all day Saturday to get up to Fortuna. First time taking the motorcycle up there as my usual trips are with the fam. This one I'm solo so I'm taking the opportunity to ride those roads I've driven on and dreamed of riding oh so many times. Default...

My wife recently got a helmet. However it fits my son pretty well as well. But it brought up the discussion about whether it would be appropriate for a kid. My question is if the helmet fits proper snug is there any reason a kid should not wear an adult helmet? Is there anything particular about...

Tldr: got a verbal warning for j-walking and cop told me that shit is a moving violation. Oh, and he wanted to ride my motorcycle. Met some friends down at Yerba Buena for lunch today and whilst trying to chat on the phone and coordinate who was where I mindlessly crossed 5th st on the red...
