My 2006 literbike needs a new clutch. Shopping parts left me with a minor dilemma. OEM parts will cost me about $70.00 more than the aftermarket. ($300/$230) This bike will most likely never see the track, sees what amounts to *light duty* and the $70.00 difference is of no concern. I just want...

:wave Enjoy your day! :Party:Party:Party (Too bad you gotta work) You are the love of my life. You enhance every aspect of my life.....including moorsickles :ride I can't begin to tell you how lucky I am to have found you. You were certainly worth the wait. :love

They were such a rage only a few months ago. There's no way they all caught fire. (or is there??:wtf) Seriously, shortly after Christmas there were countless sightings of them in the wild but at least where I am they have completely vanished. (...and don't get me started on the mis-use of the...

He will be missed. One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite shows. http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/television/article/Rockford-Files-star-Joe-Santos-dies-at-84-6922124.php

It's a 2 stroke, no gear box. Centrifugal clutch. It starts easily and revs and idles all day long. At the first sign of load the engine bogs, dies and is reluctant to restart. This is a new development, the bike gets used. I don't think it's white death/methanol poisoning. Once in a while it...

I'm walking out the door shortly, headed toward the *shity* on Black Friday with no plans of venturing in to any stores. I go every year, some years more voluntarily than others. For me, it's not unlike asking a mailman to go for a walk. I am surrounded by cars all day, every day. Why not kill a...

It was admittedly a bit of a shit hole but I have fond memories of waiting for the ferry after a day in the city and choking back greasy calamari and a few Coronas while sitting next to some uniquely odd San Francisco character. Each time I was there was exactly the same experience. I'm not...

Anyone know what trails are open/closed? I heard Los Osos was closed a few weeks ago but no rain recently may have changed things. I don't need much. Just towing a first timer around.

Leaving tonight for a 3 day camping trip. We usually do this at Carnegie, this will be my first time camping there. Anyone riding Hollister this weekend? :ride

I ride Carnegie a lot....I mean a lot and have never seen anything like this. There were several hand written warning signs at the main gate/ranger office. In big bold print they said "Snakes out!! Beware!! Snakes out!!" Obviously I have seen snakes out there before, they are a huge part of the...

It's official. I am an idiot. The headlamp bulb on my commuter 2005 EX500 expired. No problem. I removed the bulb, placed the retainer spring (bent paper clip) safely on my work bench and went out to buy a new bulb. When I returned, the retainer spring had somehow walked away from my bench. I...

As we headed out to Carnegie this morning we stopped to fill the fuel bottle at the 76 station right off 580 - last exit before Altimont Pass, not sure of the street name. Couldn't help notice wave after wave after wave of motos headed out toward east bound 580. There was easily over 200 bikes...

Discalimer: Potentially stupid fuel/oil mixture question here. Mods, I wasn't sure if this belongs here or in dirty barfing. Move as needed. I recently acquired an immaculate 1995 Honda CRF125. While I have ridden a lot of two strokes, I've never owned or had to care for one. The previous owner...

I recently acquired a 2002 Yamaha TTR225. The bike has been parked/inop for quite some time. After I replaced the battery and spun in a new spark plug it starts easily with the choke fully engaged, but stalls immediately once the choke is closed or the throttle is touched...regardless of engine...

DUI consequences are not nearly stiff enough in this country. The current system clearly is not working. It's a safe bet some friends and family of this latest offender in Freemont saw something like this coming, at least to some degree. It's a complex problem involving competing issues. Once...

Did the state give us enough rope to hang ourselves? It sure looks like that sometimes. With the recent recognition of lane sharing it appears some (or many) of us feel empowered. I ride in to work virtually every day and am often ashamed of what I see. Its bad enough that many of us treat this...

I drove my truck to work recently (not to avoid bad weather, I actually needed it). It's amazing how infrequently I drive that thing. Frankly, I should make a point of driving more often. It opens my eyes up to how much I take other peoples attention and ability for granted. I don't think we...

After being forced to hotbox under a moto cover at work on some recent warm days, my Stomp pads have allowed gravity to reposition themselves on my tank. Looks like absolute shit. I am not trying to save them (although perhaps that would be nice) but am curious about my future options. How much...

The title pretty much says it. This is a sudden development and poorly timed, as I have a moto camping trip coming up in a few weeks. The condition is intermittent at the moment, although I know it will rapidly become more predictable. It pops out of gear (only 2nd) under load, during engine...
