SOLD! Another site. I have a set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3 I pulled from my wheels today. These were bought through Evolution last year. They have seen a track day before being ridden on the street, thus the crispy edges. Front: 120/70ZR17 Rear: 190/55ZR17 $80 for both.

Looking for a relatively low-mileage R6 in great condition with upgraded suspension and brakes that I can use for track and street. Budget is in the range of $5-9k based on condition/year/upgrades. Auto-blipper and quick shifter would be great to have as well. Thanks!

Anyone know of a good place to rent gear (helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, pants)? I have a family member coming out of the country and he wants to try out the legendary California roads on a motorcycle. He doesn't want to haul his gear along with him as he has to make multiple stops before he...

So I've been considering an aftermarket slip-on with Aprilia’s race ECU for my bike for a while. I still have another year of factory warranty, followed by another three years of extended warranty. However, the official stance from the manufacture and extended warranty people is that my...

No matter how careful I am, I find myself rounding nuts or bolts (tool slipping) or scratching frame/fairing from tool slips. Not sure how one gets better at not doing this. Just need one rushed evening to finish a job or mind not fully in it, and bang, it happens. Hurts more on new bikes or...

Is clearly illegal. Yet many riders I see riding on two-lane roads seem to do so without a second thought when stuck behind slower drivers. Some drivers even seem to expect it and sometime move to the right - although not enough so the rider is still required to cross a double yellow. I...

Looking into trailering my bike on a trailer (minimal to no suspension). Amazing how many different approaches there are with pros/cons to each. What are your favored methods that secure the bike well while ensuring minimal wear/tear on components? There are many nuances to different methods...

Anyone going up to THill for the Ken Hill at KTT on Oct 8/9 from South Bay?

Interesting....

Hi All, Looking at doing a Z2 novice track day in August - most likely 18/19. A bit conflicted about renting (Feel Like a Pro) versus preparing and transporting my own bike to track. The logistics seems a bit daunting to bring my own bike, on my own, with everything else happening (in my...

I wanted to provide my impressions of the 2017 (’18) Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR after riding it for about two months now, especially since BARF was a pivotal medium through which I made my decision. Before I bought this bike, I was also considering the 2018 Triumph Street Triple RS and 2018...

What’s your experience in encountering bumps and edges on the road, especially when going at freeway speeds and having sustained damage to rim or shocks? I was riding on 280 on lane 2 towards San Jose after exiting 84 near Woodside and encountered a couple of what looked like intentional...

Just wondering what's people's technique in burping the air out of the cooling system and coolant. I haven't tried doing this before, so wanted some concise steps. Lots of varying ways of doing so via google searches.

SOLD!! 2016 Ninja 650 with ABS in Candy Persimmon Red / Metallic Spark Black - $5500. Sold outside of BARF! 1% to BARF, of course. - 1 owner only (me) and I own the title. - Followed manufacture engine break-in procedure to the letter for the first 600 miles. - Always parked under a...

Hi All, I've been riding a Ninja 650 (my first bike) for a couple years now and starting to get that itch for the next bike. I wanted to see if I could get some recommendations on what I should test ride. On paper alone, the 2018 Street Triple RS looks great, and will be test riding this in...
