A friend of mine has asked me to help him pick up his motorcycle (he can't ride right now due to suspended license) but I forgot my helmet at home and I work down this way. Can anyone loan me an XL helmet for 1 hour while I go help him out? I can leave a deposit or something if you need...

So yesterday my Dainese leathers zipper got stuck where the slider followed the part that was supposed to slip out, and then it wouldn't go backwards. I thought it was toast for sure, but after looking at some diagrams online I figured out how to fix it and thought I'd share. If you take a blunt...

Any interest in a winter suspension workshop? I just got a new bike and figured as long as I'm monkeying around I could show some others how to adjust sag/rebound.

Anyone know of a good shop/individual who does upholstery work? I want to make some mods to my pillion seat... Thanks!

Anyone on here ride an '02 Red VFR? I thought I was the only one doing the 280 commute in this weather... Haven't seen any motorcycles all week.

So yeah.. I'm back. Bought a new R1 on tuesday and just spontaneously showed up to a barf meet last night. Glad to see so many familiar faces and to see the community still going strong! Here's a nice pic Jimmy took of my bike last night.

Hey everyone. I'm looking for any kinda project bikes you might have, blown engine, won't shift, bent forks, etc. I now have access to a high end shop and place to store my projects, and I'd like to get into fixing up and selling bikes. Anyways PM me or post here if you have a lead on really...

I was wondering if anyone in the SF area has the two special tools needed for doing fork seals (the pick and the slide hammer). It's something that needs to be done so rarely I can't really afford to buy them just for this one job. I'd be happy to cook dinner or provide a 12 pack for someone...

Hey everybody, I recently started my own sushi catering business, and thought I'd invite you all to our first big event. No RSVP necessary, but post here so I know who to look for :D. I'll be cuttin fish from 6pm till probably 10ish, and I'm bringing tons, but who knows how hungry people will...

The New Chick Hi Everybody. Ive seen some of you at a few events I've attend with Sylvain, and love to browse the forums, so thought Id sign up. Im just learning to ride. I got my license a few months ago and am building up a 1987 honda hurricane, so I hope to actually be on my bike the next...

Our shop is looking at picking up a bunch of these since they got phased out for a new model. Would anyone be interested in picking em up in 180x50x17 for 50 bucks out the door? (not mounted or balanced, but we do that too).

Well, I got released from SF General today, luckily just banged up all over, nothing broken. I was going down 19th ave this morning, at about 35mph, when a truck pulled out of a parking space. I swerved to avoid him, and hit the rear end of a car that was stopped for traffic. Had about the worst...

Wonder how many mpg it gets...

Selling these too.. 120/70 and 180/55 Front is brand spankin new, never mounted. Rear has 500 miles, got a nail in it, and has been patched (hasn't been mounted since patch. I'd like to get 150 for the pair, but will take best offer.

Here's a pair of bridgestones I'm looking to get rid of: Bridgestone BT010s in 120/70 Front tire has 4k miles on it, first 1k were breakin, very light usage. Rear has 3500 on it. Both have lots of tread left (see pic) I'm asking 100 bucks OBO (I'm guessing what they're worth, if I'm way off...
