I just got done with my DIY blog post on how to change the oil and filter on a dry-sump engine--the Suzuki DR350, to be specific. The full step-by-step description is at the Riders Recycle blog, here: http://ridersrecycle.com/blog/oil-change-dry-sump-suzuki-dr350-enduro/ But here are a few...

Since my wreck last April, I've gathered a bunch of orthopedic equipment that might be helpful to other injured BARFers...and I was thinking that it might be nice to have a kind of rotating gear library for that stuff. However, I don't have storage space--anyone in the Bay with some extra garage...

Hey y'all, I am always looking for motorcyclist events to bring the Riders Recycle booth to, where we can give away oil change gear and promote responsible DIY wrenching to riders. We've been to IMS, La Ducati Day, Alice's parking lot, hell, we've even been to the Cloverdale Lions Club Toy...

Been swimming the cheap n dirty end of CL for a cheap SUV for a while now, found a decent possibility in Concord. Any good shops BARFers know in the area who do pre-purchase inspections? Danke.

The weather has been stunning lately, nicest weather in November I've seen in a while. Soooo, since lots of riders will likely be out in the hills, Riders Recycle is having a booth at Alice's Restaurant tomorrow, 11/9, from approx. 11-3. Come by for some free info on where and how to change your...

On the Riders Recycle website, I recently posted a how-to photoessay on checking and adjusting the valves on a Suzuki DR350 thumper with old-school screw-and-locknut valve adjusters. ridersrecycle.com/blog/valve-check-and-adjust-suzuki-dr350/ Please check it out and give me feedback--I'd like...

Riders Recycle will be at the International Motorcycle Show this year. Come by our booth for recycling info, good company, free oil funnels and gloves, and a daily raffle for oil pans and oil filter drainers. It's always a pleasure to see BARFers at bike events, so say hi! There will be a host...

My GF has expressed interest in building an AR from an 80% lower. I know bloody nothing about it, but promised I'd do some research. What are some decent brands for 80% lowers and other components? Know any good local machinists to finish the lower? What kind of cost are we looking at? Do I...

Plated '92 Street model Suzuki DR350, 3500 miles (!) SOLD. From the days when a bike needed to be able to run reliably over rough terrain and help you escape roaming velociraptors--it ain't high tech, but you can probably fix it with a rock, a wrench and a screwdriver by the side of the road in...

It's that time of year again... You know who you are. And if you don't we're here to help. --Love, fgt mods

Brown Vetoed SB374 today, which would have spelled the end of all semiauto centerfire rifles in CA! Hot damn. He did sign some other crappy anti-gun legislation, including AB48 which bans hi-cap magazine rebuild kits, but SB374 going down is rather significant...

Endless undignified giggling, 80+ mpg, and 35 mph downhill in a tailwind can be yours with this 1990 Honda Elite 80 (CH80); the scooter a friend of mine once called "the Scourge of the City". $500 firm--mama needs a little physical therapy money. When I got it (earlier this year) I replaced...

Oh man, being struck by lightning while riding or traveling by bike is one of my irrational road-trip fears. Well, maybe not so irrational. This couple both got themselves struck by lightning during the course of a ride in Oregon. She survived, he didn't. RIP, Bret...

I busted my foot screwing up a wheelie a while ago, and it's going to be a while yet before I ride again. So, despite not having owned a car in years, I find myself in need of one. I'm also fairly tight on money, since I am partially disabled for the moment and had to give up my job wrenching in...

My brother in law (Terma Gant's brother) lives in Montana, owns a ghost town and a string of hunting mules, and is an Alaska wilderness hunting guide during his summers. Last time we went to Montana he had managed to get a super-rare bison tag and took us bison hunting outside of...
