Having weighed a variety of options it looks like I'm going to make the (probably idiotic) decision to pimp and race my DR350 Supermoto at a couple of events next season. {Build thread for that project can be found here} So my question for you AFM folk is: which classes can I race with a (soon...

Looking for an engine builder in the Bay Area, preferably specializing in dirt bike motors. I'll be needing an overbore, piston kit installation, head rebuilt, possibly cam install. Not looking to break the bank, this isn't a full-on race build, just need someone competent and respected who can...

I'm having a brake pad crisis! My preferred pad for this dope-ass mess-o-tin DR350 Supermoto... ...is Performance Friction's 95 compound. I'm switching to a different caliper for which that pad is, unfortunately, very rare. Like possibly extinct. So I need a replacement! The PFC 95s are...

Hey there, AFMers. Thinking about joining up. I used to be a racer too, with the departed Moto West GP (RIP) and briefly also with the departed WSMC (RIP)...basically, I race with your club and it goes down in flames - you've been warned. I'm strongly considering getting back into the fray with...

I'm late getting the notice up this time, but yes, we will be doing MotoGP Viewing & Cigars for the Mugello round on Sunday!

It took a trip to Laguna Seca last weekend to clean the bitter taste from my mouth after Le Mans... ...but we are back in business! MUGELLLOOOOOO!!! See, Vale's form is better than mine, there's no way around it. This is going to be the last one of these for a bit as I'll be out of town...

Couch racing's way better with a cigar in your hand. Takes 2/10ths off a lap. Guaranteed.

Who wants to bet Zarco's going to make things interesting?? -- 20% off all product -- Free motorcycle parking steps away from the shop -- Double screens, comfy chairs -- Shouting at the TV encouraged (I especially like to shout at Nick Harris)

We're growing, slowly but surely! Last time we had one BARF member (it was great meeting you, Mike!) and a few local fans. I already have more people threatening to come this weekend. Excited for the real start to the GP season, this Sunday in Spain! Hope to see some folks there. And by there I...

My awesome and ridiculous DR350 Supermoto uses cast wheels off a Suzuki GS500 (that is, 1989 - present GS500E). I want to have a second set to dress in dedicated track tires. Anybody have GS500 wheels they want to get rid of?!? Preferably with decent bearings and the brake rotors attached, but...

Alright, Couch Racers. Time to stop cuddling and get your own chair. Check this out... MotoGP Viewing & Cigars - ROUND 3

Did a test run of this for Round 1, now let's do it for real! Here's some answers to the most popular questions... YES, you can bring in booze. NO, booze will not be provided. YES, we'll be screening all 3 races. I like to go in order but others may prefer GP first... YES, you need to...

Posted this in the Couch Racer's forum, but seems like a social gathering also... MotoGP Viewing on the Peninsula

For those who haven't started watching the GP action yet, I'm going to be hosting a little viewing party at a cigar lounge in Burlingame this afternoon / evening... Where: Burlingame Tobacconists 1404 Burlingame Ave. Burlingame, CA 94010 When: Will start streaming the pre-race grid action at...
