Folks, I am cross posting this here from ADVrider. This is an annual rally that takes places in a great camp site along the Kern River in Kernville, CA. The rally is capped at 100 people, and is filling up quickly. Your entry fee gets you all of the beer you can drink in camp (good beer...

A few weeks back, I finished stripping down my 690 enduro to just the frame and motor. It has 15K miles on it and I had just returned from Baja. I figured it was time to replace bearings, seals, and give it a thorough inspection. While at it, I figured that I should do the suspension. I HATE...

It's Breakfast Barfing time again, folks. This Friday is the first Friday of the month, and that means that it's time to get together on our way to work, drink some coffee, and enjoy the view for a bit. As usual, we will meet on Treasure Island, next to the little market outside the entrance...

Happy birthday to one heck of an amazing guy. For those who don't know him, he is a track day instructor extraordinaire, builder of tree mansions, climber of ice walls, martial arts beast, and all around great guy. Andy makes me want to be a nicer, more diplomatic, and just plain better human...

I just rode home from the DBC and decided to take Sharp Park Rd. from 280 to Hwy 1. Towards the bottom of the hill there were three cops blocking the Eastbound direction, with a bike buried under the guard rail. I couldn't tell what kind of bike, and I didn't see EMS on the scene. Good vibes...

So, I saw this the other day. Yes, your eyes are functioning correctly. It is a Prius truck. Can't tell from the crappy cell pics, but the workmanship was pretty shoddy. That said, it was an interesting concept. I bet there aren't too many other trucks out there that get that kind of...

It has been years since I've done this ride. My good friend sfcootz talked me into joining up on this gorgeous October Sunday, and I'm very glad that I did. I only took a few pics, but had an absolutely spectacular time. Thanks, cootzie (not that you'll check this section and see the thread...

Folks, I will be going to an event in Livermore on Friday and will be staying overnight. I figured it would make sense to truck out my KDX and zip over to Carnegie on Saturday morning before returning home. I might have breakfast with my hosts, so I would likely arrive at around 10 or so...

I wanted to do the five week trip last year, but getting five weeks off work was an impossibility. I implored Moin to do a shorter trip in 2014, as did numerous other people. He listened, and scheduled two trips of just over two weeks each. No more excuses. Even my amazing wife told me that...

I'll go ahead and get this thread started. Hopefully, we can get this stickied next to the first tour thread. Jeanette and Sam landed in Lahore a few hours ago, and I will be heading out for Islamabad on Tuesday afternoon. I'm unbelievably excited and can't wait to see the beauty of...

It is smack in the middle of peak riding season, and I have seen a lot of new riders join the addiction that is motorcycling. I thought that this might be a good time to talk a little bit about basic moto maintenance. Just a few points to keep in mind as you embark on your moto journey: 1...

I'm strongly considering picking up a kayak for recreational use. I live in Pacifica, so I would want something that is at home in rough water. The plan is to use it to explore, fish, and just have fun while getting a bit of exercise. I don't want to drop big money, as I can't be sure that...

I was just thinking other day about how many riders we have in the Bay Area and was trying to guess what percentage of them are BARF members. While I have no clue what the answer is, it did make me start wondering what it is that convinces people to join this wonderfully quirky family that...

I finally had the opportunity to take my new-to-me 2010 690 Enduro R on a small shakdown ride. I stayed up late wrapping up my work on Thursday night, so that I could roll out on Friday. The plan was to go poke around on roads with which I was not familiar, attempting to find as much dirt as...

I should get a pair of these. I wonder if they come in fat guy sizes :dunno

I haven't had a damper on a bike since I owned my 990, and that was just a lowly Ohlins. I had to see what the hype was all about, so I finally broke down and bought a Scotts. The damper was HORRIBLY overpriced, but it did come with a free motorcycle, so I guess it wasn't an awful deal...

:Party I just won an eBay auction for a pair of new in box Sidi Crossfire 2 SRS boots. $345 shipped! :wtf :wow I'm so stoked to try them out!

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD :Party This bike is a funky little thing, but is an absolute hoot. It was built by Drew (seavoyage) and is an absolute blast of a bike. It is a DR350 frame with the wider ratio DR250 motor in it. The STREET LEGAL registration considers it to be a DR350. The forks...
