Pitbull SOLD Random reddish orange rear stand. Fits: Motorcycles with 2 swingarms, I reckon. $20 Redwood City.

I'm selling my Suzuki VStrom 650 with ABS. It's got 43,xxx miles on it, comes with color matched stock side cases, and a monolock topcase. $2600. 2% to BARF. Bike is in Redwood City, CA. I've owned the bike since 2011 and put about half the miles on it, and I've done all of the modifications...

Ridiculous story I've been watching on KTVU for the past 30 mins or so, on and off. A motorcyclist was hit by a silver Nissan Altima on Van Ness, and the driver kept going with the rider clinging to the hood. After several blocks and much horn-honking by other drivers, 2 SUVs boxed in the...

Got my Starcom on the way. I'm wondering, what's the best way to mount the wiring to the helmet? The headset itself has a connector, then a coiled cord with connectors on both ends, then you plug that coiled cord into the bike or starcom. When you're not using the starcom, you'd want the...

On the 238east to I-5n merge about 9pm past night, saw a pair of RC51 headlights creeping up on me. As the bike went by I confirmed my bike guesstimate but saw he/she was running sans taillights and license plate lights. Turn signals worked tho. Check your bike if you match the description...

Finding a few out there, but almost none of them have ABS :( Not looking to pay the ridiculous $6800+ I've seen a few listed for around the country. I could get a 2011 new for ~$7200, for god's sake. In fact, I may, if I don't find a reasonably priced used one :) Not in a hurry. I've got...

... so I switched to the reserve, nothing... rolled off the freeway. Plenty of gas, but I added 1 gallon just to be safe. Now it's probably got a good 3-3.5 gallons in the tank, no help. Starter spins like the day it was built (battery is very new), but the motor doesn't even try to catch...

It seems that with the arrival of March 1, everyone decided that riding season is here. No fewer than 5 other motorcycles splitting on 101N in front of me this morning, it was a beautiful sight. Past few months I've been lucky to see 1 other. It was a great ride in, and a great kickoff to...

Howdy, I've got a 95 CBR600 F3 that I picked up a short while ago and would like to put some weighted bar ends on it to kill the buzzing in the handlebars -- not intolerable, just annoying on longer rides. It seems pretty clear that the bars are not stock F3 bars; they don't have the half-moon...

Following this forum and SVRider and Craigslist, just thought it wouldn't hurt to post here, in case someone has one they're thinking of selling but hasn't gotten around to listing yet.

Posting because I thought it might be of general interest, or someone might know whose bike it was. I was going to the Starbucks off of Montague at Thomas street (becomes Mission College Blvd after Montague I think), near Rivermark. There was a beat up sportbike on its sidestand, and the...

Hi all, I just successfully completed my MSF class on Sunday. I'm sorta chomping at the bit to go to the DMV and take the written test, I guess just to get it out of the way and taken care of. Of course, I do not have my DL389 yet. I'm trying to figure out if it makes any sense (or if it's...

Okay, I completely failed to come up with anything clever or original to say in my subject. They just all looked the same to me looking down the newbie forum, and I was hoping I could come up with something different that would stand out. Hey, maybe I did. Anyway, I'm 26, never ridden before...

Howdy all... I'm new here (duh). I'm thinking (pretty sure actually) of becoming a rider. I'm really excited, but slightly nervous. I plan to take the MSF course sometime in the next 2-3 months, then get my gear, and buy a bike this summer. I'm kind of undecided as to whether I want to get a...
