Sold I got it in close out here: http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/sport/mesh+motorcycle+jackets/lbz_meshed+up+leather-mesh+jacket And it's not for me. I'm about to return it, but if the styling really grabs you, it's a great deal at $65, and it would save me the hassle of shipping it back...

...the climber's perspective. It's an old discussion, but maybe some of y'all will want to browse it. I don't think I stepped in until the very end (final post): http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=225870& FWIW it was started by Conrad Anker...

So I have textile gear that fits. But my bike came with a matching Frank Thomas perforated leather jacket that's slightly too large-- size 52, my size seems to be 48. The jacket is cooler than the textile gear (prolly both ways), but doesn't seem as well made or fancy. Is there somewhere in...

I searched but didn't find any discussion of it. Any other east bay locations for the Rider's Edge class?

Do you climb rock? Do you ride to Yosemite? To climb? I really want to ride there, but the bike doesn't seem like the ideal way to carry the gear, unless soloing is in the plans...

I can't be the only muni rider here. Well, maybe I can. Any other riders? In the east bay?

There isn't a Concord location in the sticky above, and I don't find one online, but someone told me they took the class there 2 months ago. They didn't give me an address or phone # tho. Somewhere out Ygnacio Valley Rd I think. So is there a course there? Where would I find out more? It...

I had thought it was a seller's market right now, at least in mid-sized bikes, with dealerships sold out of current model year, and sellers asking higher than kbb retail. But I've read a comment on Barf that because of the economy, people aren't buying. So what is going on in the new & used...

If I don't buy used by wednesday, I think I'm gonna buy new. Was thinking about going to concord motorsports, but OTD motorsports in oakland got rave reviews in a different BARF thread. I just requested an online quote from them, but it from the web site it looks like the oakland store doesn't...

Feedback, comments, etc. welcome. Currently leaning toward an SV650s. New or used. Might consider used 650r if the deal was right. Possible even a new street triple. Ideally I'll buy by mid-week, but maybe I'll want something else by then (the practicality of a v-strom 650?). 1st bike was a...

/rant I can't count the number of bikes on craigslist I see where the owner says "no test rides without cash in my hand", or similar. From their perspective it makes sense. Flaky people showing up and all. But from the buyer's perspective it doesn't. I can't imagine handing over cash without...

In another thread someone mentioned this helmet on closeout for $300. I've driven around a bit looking, and searched the web, but didn't find it. Want to find it in local shop--East Bay or San Jose will do. A large Shoei X-11 is a good fit. Anyone know if the spec 1r extreme is likely to fit...

I haven't ridden or owned a motorcycle in ages. Thinking about riding again. The forum has been really informative, and it seems like a good group of people. Thanks. In the summer I usually take several trips from the East Bay to the Sierra. I'd love to do it on a bike.
