I swapped the factory 17” 5-spoke silver wheels on my 2013 328i and have the original set (including tires) for sale - check it out here: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/wto/6732865445.html If you ping me from BARF let me know and you’ll get a few bucks off (with said bucks going to BARF as...

My car was hit in a parking lot yesterday as I was having lunch. A nice witness took note of the license plate but when the responding officers looked it up it didn’t match any vehicles. If any of the BARF LEOs could help check a couple of alternatives I’m hoping I can find the offender...

Hey OP - I saw this bike on Monday heading home from work - this is El Camino Real and Lafayette in Santa Clara, ~4:30PM. I don’t think it’s your bike, but just in case...

My wife bought me a $100 gift card to CG for Christmas, but they don’t carry the brands of boots/gloves I prefer. If you have a Road Rider gift card of the same amount or cash :cool let’s swap. I’m in Santa Clara so South Bay is preferred. PM me - thanks!

Ok, here are some pics that I snagged showing the hardware: When all the bits are in place the caliper rotates on the pivot bolt compressing the piston shown. That engages one of the two pistons on the rear brake (the VFR's linked brake system). When the bolt was lost, the braking action...

Was out for part of the GaryJ ride today and was going up Stage when I heard/felt a rattle from my front end. Didn't like the sound of it and thought "gonna stop to check that out" when the next corner my brake lever goes to the bar. Pedal likewise has nothing. I downshift to 1st and pump the...

I jumped on a group purchase for these, but instead of putting them on I've had them sitting on a shelf. They're literally new, still sealed in the box...but at about $100 less than retail. Come on, help me pay for some new tires with these stainless steel brake/clutch lines. Includes all the...

I was in Miami at the time. Yeah, it went nationwide at least. :laughing Also:

Was commuting home on 280S last night and see a bike coming up behind me. Since I have side bags I tend to split very cautiously and was not in a particular hurry so I move to the left side of lane #1 and gesture for the rider to pass me. As he does I notice it's a CHP and he gives me a...

Took advantage of the wife and kids being out of town and the nice day to take some shots on highway 9. Everytime I try to capture riders I appreciate what Dito, Joe, Jesus etc. pull off - it's damn hard to frame a nice shot while (trying) to track a passing bike let alone get a GOOD pic with...

*SOLD* 2008 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S Recently purchased this bike as a replacement for my departed Honda VFR but while it's an absolute BLAST it's just not what I'm used to and I think someone else will really get the 'Hyper' to play like she deserves. Bike has approximately 15,300 miles on...

Happy? :)

Here's how it would go...
