Started the day right with a speed run to meet fellow barfer Auntiebling and get the goods. Thanks, Brother! Passport + full tuck + 12 miles + light traffic s.b. Central Expressway took 36 minutes including two stops to check Google maps (gloves and touch screens don't mix). :ride Looks darn...

Luvin this! Congrats!

:rideThe new Cub is 125ccc and Cali DMV requires a minimum of 150cc for freeway use. I'd also be curious to know how well the modern Cub will do in the hills. My 37 year old 1982 70cc version doesn't do well uphill. Going up Page Mill Road last weekend I had to be in 2nd much of the way even...

Took my '82 Honda Passport up Page Mill Road. 7hp of goodness. Can you believe a Prius, Civic and Audi A6 all let me pass during my struggle up the hill :rofl Funny because she's a gutless 3-speed with a top speed of 42mph on level ground and struggles in 2nd @ 9k rpm/25mph going up PMR...

35 south of Pagemill Road is closed for about 0.5 miles.

Drove to work and see HD is setting up @ 380 Logue Ave, Mountain View, CA 94043. A renovated class B building with 13,200 sqft. Next to a light rail station. Ducati's office is less than a quarter mile away on Middlefield Rd. Maybe the two companies plan to collaborate :laughing

These are a back-up set that I never really needed or used. I kept them at home in case I ever needed to measure something in the house :nerd. Never really happened. Excellent condition, smooth action. $220 new. Asking $110 (5% to barf). Solar Powered means never change batteries again...

Thanks. Will do an inspection this weekend. Agree oil is a red herring for now. R/R I've heard about this a lot for various bikes. What is the best fix just get a new one and replace as a maintenance item? Thanks. I hope the harness is recoverable. Hi Bill, thanks for the support. Yeah, wish...

Where there's smoke... Earlier this afternoon I finished reading Rossi's entertaining autobiography. Since the weather was dry and not too cold I felt it was a good time for an afternoon ride. I wheeled the CB-1 out of the garage on to the driveway. I noticed 1 tsp. of oil on the garage floor...

Barf keeps getting flagged All week my phone keeps warning me about visiting teh barf when I click on a thread update link in my email box. McAfee is not happy with the url for some reason. Did something change on barf's server or is McAfee being paranoid?

:laughing Better, but(t) you still have freedom of movement in rotation. Few riders sit in one place while riding. Anyways I wasn't thinking one giant coil but several arrayed across the charging surfaces. Right. Losses, given off as heat, are arguably minimal but overtaxing can be a concern...

I like this thought exercise. Metal-to-metal connections are the most efficient and reliable. Wireless inductive charging is less efficient and can be considerably less so (function of distance to coil, alignment positioning, coil area, etc). Like jumph4x says, getting coils into a glove is a...

ALL GONE. Gave last copy to neighbor's kid who is into robotics. These are the go to Bibles for your shop. Perfect gift for your favorite bike modder, tinkerer, engineer, machinist, or maker in your life. Or get it for yourself ;-) If you don't know what these are check out...

Remember when I suggested the three letters NSR instead of BMW? And no Torx! :teeth

Hmm, I was looking at this Elgin Fastener Group. I did the unit conversion and agree Bolt Depot's data differs from Elgins. Now I'm confused. :facepalm

:gsxrgrlI went on a solo ride Thankgiving afternoon. Traction was poor in the hills because of the recent rain and wind making the roads all slippy with water and leaves. I rode the pace and had only one minor pucker moment out of 110 miles of riding. My route was: Page Mill, Alpine, Pescadero...

SOP = Standard Operating Procedure Motorcycling requires juggling a lot of loose gear: helmet, gloves, tank bag, keys, phone, etc. Unfortunately, I am not a person of habit or routine so I don't have a fixed procedure for riding nor sufficient or dedicated space to organize and store all my...

I have 8-10 Dainese lightweight cloth bags, zippered and with clear plastic window. Roughly 12"x30"x4". First pic shows one opened and the rest closed. Also up for grabs are two MotoGP banners from the 2007 Shanghai race. 20'-25' x 2'. Printed on fiber reinforced plastic and lined with mounting...
