I'm just posting the link to my Craigslist ad because I'm lazy. And because I wrote too damn much! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/roo/239341553.html

My roommate is leaving December 1st, and I need a new one. It's a nice apartment in the Outer Sunset, right by Golden Gate Park, and walking distance to Ocean Beach. You can see the ocean and the park from the the windows. The apartment has a great kitchen with a dishwasher, a fireplace in the...

Hey, I’m hoping someone may be able to help me out. Last night my roommate informed me that he wants his friend, who can afford to rent 2 rooms and get onto the lease, to move in here August 1st. This means I am in the way and have to move out before then, so I am asking everyone to let me know...

Last night I had a strange motorcycle dream. In it, I was following ersigh -- who I have met once, maybe twice, a long time ago -- riding down a cloverleaf on-ramp, a decreasing radius curve that spiraled steeply inward. She was taking the turn at an insane speed, leaned over like a Moto GP...

Sometime this year I'll be in the market for another bike, and I'm looking for some feedback from people who've owned a few models that interest me -- Ducati Multistrada 620, MZ Black Panther/Street Moto, and Triumph Speed Four. Things I'd like to find out: 1. Have you had any mechanical...

...or more specifically, spambots that use random dictionary lookups to generate the sender's name. This week I've gotten spam from the following "people": Chickpeas H. Calculator Telugu L. Houseflies Dykes R. Overrule :laughing

It's only 2 weeks away! I'd like to invite anyone who doesn't have a gathering to attend to come over for a Thanksgiving pot luck at my house (in San Francisco). I'll be making a turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and some other stuff, and would like people to bring something to add to...

Ever had one of those experiences where you randomly found something that was like the key piece in a puzzle? The other night I was reading a book on yoga and came across a passage that crystallized an idea that had been floating under the surface of my consciousness for some time. "...you will...

A friend of mine is interested in the WR450F and has some questions about it, so I said I'd ask you all if you have the answers. By the way, he's used to riding dual sports as street bikes, so he isn't going to be surprised to find out that it's not a sportbike. ;) (He doesn't live in...

This morning on my way to work I was going east up Sharp Park Road, shortly before it crosses Skyline. The speed limit along there is 40, and I was in the left lane, probably doing about 45. Glancing in my mirrors, I noticed an SUV coming up behind me, going well over the speed limit, so I moved...

I've been offered a chance to spend a week riding dirt bikes on the east coast this summer. My friend will let me ride his spare bike, which has a seat height of 35-36". But I'm a fairly small woman, with a 30" inseam, and I've never really ridden a dirt bike before. (I have put 38,000 miles on...

Last weekend I had a chance to test ride a Speed Triple (as well as a Speed 4 and a couple of Moto Guzzis). I noticed a couple of odd things about it, and wondered if any of you who have owned one could shed some light on them for me. I had never ridden this type of bike before; prior to that my...

My new boots arrived this morning! Just like the ones in the picture only all black. And utterly fabulous! Seem to be very protective and well-made too. I saw them on the manufacturer's website a while back, and . . . I just had to. So I found a dealer in Denver, Iconoclast, who was kind...

8 miles west of San Francisco, about 3:15 Sounded just like someone dropped a boulder outside, and the building kind of bounced for about 10 seconds! First time I've actually felt one in the 8 years I've lived here. By the time we got through saying "What the hell is that?" it was all over.

hrm? Or have you guys been going on lots of them you just didn't invite me to? ;) I'd like to take a ride up Mt. Diablo sometime. Seems like it might be a good road for motards. Anyone else interested?
