If you’re parked at the meters on 2d right at Market, your bike is getting towed right now, 2:15pm on Tuesday, 6/19

This coming week, I plan to take two days and ride some Sierra passes on my way to the Berkeley Family Camp at Echo Lake. I don't want to kill myself with mileage, so I'm looking at pretty reasonable days of around 250 miles. My idea is to head out from the Bay on Thursday, ride over the Sonora...

It's that time again. Lot's to be proud of this month, aside from the parade, it's also Nаtіоnаl Candy Mоnth, Nаtіоnаl Dаіrу Mоnth, National Seafood Mоnth and National Iсеd Tеа Mоnth, and the month containing the Summer Solstice, longest day of the year. What: Stop on your commute for coffee...

The two recent threads, To 3 riders on the Bay Bridge at 8:20am 4/19 and Bay Bridge crash factz, made me reflect on the many years and thousands of times I've ridden across the Bay Bridge. I've been commuting on a motorcycle across the Bay Bridge, rain or shine, on and off since the early...

Quoting Surj from the other thread: Here is a non-Surj-created BBBB reminder and invite: This is the O-riginal, correct number of Bs—4, duh—Bay Bridge Breakfast Barfing. What: Stop on your commute for coffee and hang time with fellow Bay Bridge moto-commuters. Where: Treasure Island, at the...

While unemployed, I haven't really needed to commute from the East Bay to SF. But this morning, I had a 9am meeting in the Mission. When I fired up Waze as I got ready to ride in at 8:30am, it reported trip time from right around Ashby and San Pablo in Berkeley to 20th at Harrison in SF as...

Had to replace the driver door lock actuator on my wife's 2008 Honda Odyssey. Once the new actuator was in, I tested it with the door was open, and then again with the door was closed, before putting the door panel on. Everything seemed to work fine. Then I put the door panel on and closed the...

Just finished my commute home. On the BB a bit after the tunnel heading east, there was a rider down in the #4 lane. Caltrans tow truck drivers were urgently waving the paramedic truck around blocking traffic. The rider was lying still on the ground, covered up to his/her neck with a blanket...

Just passed a large number of CHP on bikes and in cars closing lanes heading West off the Bay Bridge. Looking back to the 580 merge to 80 North/East, CHP was holding traffic at the bottom of the 580 ramp. Not sure whats going on, but lots of traffic.

*SOLD* 2007 Ducati ST3 SOLD For sale is my 2007 Ducati ST3, currently with just barely over 20k miles on the clock. I have clear title in hand and am in Berkeley. I’m the second owner, and bought the bike 3 years ago with just over 9k miles on it. Since my purchase, it’s been serviced by...

Title says most of it. Bike was a large displacement all black sport tourer, or at least that was my impression as I rode by. The CHP was on scene and the bike was already being loaded on the tow truck sling. Hope the rider is okay.

I have for sale my Halvarssons Safety Suit, including both the waterproof and mesh outer shells and the inner liner. Photos attached below. This is the version they no longer make that passes the CE Level 2 standards for safety and which was used by the UK motorcycle police until Halvarssons...

Did a search and it looks like this hasn't been mentioned here yet. http://bike-paint.dailymegabyte.com/they-spray-bikes-special-paint-gets-dark-into-this/ Apparently it sprays on clear but turns anything it's sprayed on to into a highly reflective surface at night. I immediately thought of...

Just saw what looked like the aftermath of a bad single bike accident on Green Valley / 46 a few miles east of Hwy 1. Rider was on the side of the road under a blanket up to their neck. Lots of people looking after them and emergency services were arriving as we got there. Like to be a yellow...

Having an issue with my KTM 950A that results in a need to transport it from Berkeley to Scuderia in SF late Saturday afternoon (arriving some time between 4 and 6pm). Happy to pay for the ride and contribute to BARF as part of the deal. PM me if you can help.

Leaving shortly for a solo ride today up to Bodega Bay and back from Berkeley. And for some reason that put me in mind of that poor rider from Sacramento, Alan Porter, who disappeared and wasn't found for a while, http://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=455460. Not that I expect...

[updated list below] We're preparing to move, so I need to get rid of the stuff I've had lying around and that I'm unlikely to actually make use of. Here's the list of things that have to go: GONE 1) KTM Folding Mirrors off of my '06 KTM 950 Adventure GONE 2) BMW mirrors in black, from the...

Hey there. Looks like I picked up a chunk of metal in my tire on my way over the Bay Bridge. I'm without a flat repair kit and would like to get my bike home here in Oakland if at all possible. Plus, I'm not very good a at flat repair :-) Any chance of some help this evening? I can get a ride...

Got a message on my neighborhood mailing list that OPD will be conducting special enforcement actions with a motorcycle safety emphasis. Note in particular that, "Extra officers will be on-duty patrolling areas frequented by motorcyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur." Keep your eyes...
