I've been running Michelin Anakee 2s on my F650. They worked well for me in terms of both durability and performance. Love them. Michelin EOL'ed this product following the release of the Anakee 3. although I haven't tried a set of 3s, every person I've talked to who has hates them. I haven't...

If you're not into the Hallmark channel now would be a good time to find a new thread. Have neighbors three doors down who I've known for about 10 years. He and his wife are both Japanese, but have been in the US for between 25 and 30 years. They've been married for about 43 years. They're old...

So I've got this little HP Mini 1000 netbook I bought years ago. Only runs XP and we all know the story on that. Tried to install 7, but ... not enough processor or memory, so it crashed on install. Now what? How bout a Ubuntu? Went to Ubuntu's site; downloaded the 32 bit desktop version and...

- Backstory My son is 12 and has an Xbox. He wants an Xbox One. So, I told him at the beginning of the school year that this would be entirely up to him and grade dependent: Any Ds, he looses the Xbox entirely. Any Cs, things stay as they are, he keeps what he has, but no upgrade. All Bs or...

Leaving tomorrow morning heading to the Sierra's for 5 days of camping, wheeling, fishing, beer drinking and other illicit activities. Yeah, I know, so what's the problem? There's gonna be clouds, clouds, clouds, and more clouds e v e r y d a m n e d night. Don't mind camping in snow and rain...

There's going to be a total lunar eclipse the night of April 14th; morning of April 15th, 2014. You have two weeks to consult your astrologer, panic, sell off all you belongings, plan a party, or, like me, just enjoy the show! :thumbup Here's a neat video that explains the event very well; so...

The need to ride. Anyone riding tomorrow in the South Bay? Love to join. Moderate Pace for me. Not slow. Not too fast. F650. Lemme know. I can start early or mid morning. :dunno

Passenger side window on my RV was shattered over the weekend, so I've got to get it repaired. Anyone know of a reputable auto glass repair company in the South Bay? Cost is a factor, but not as important as finding someone who does quality work. I'd like to find someone who can correct the...

I have buddy who's acquired an '87 GSXR1100. The bike had been stolen, recovered, and he bought it from the owner. He's stripped it of all plastics since they'd been thoroughly trashed and it making it into a street fighter. Jon's a master fabricator and has already created a new tank and tail...

I'm an ol' dood, so I really don't know. Thought a hipster was associated the with Hip Hop scene, but I'm not so sure anymore. If I wanted to be a hipster, should I have a specific mind set? Dress a specific way? shop at specific stores? Eat at specific restaurants? Listen to specific music...

Well, maybe not officially since the rider I helped wasn't a BARFer. That and Alanrider7's gonna stick a spark plug up my ass when he reads what I did. So I'm on the way home tonight, diamond lane 87 to 85 south. I reach the meter light and see flashers on the left shoulder. It's a bike so I...

I was made aware of a scam aimed at separating us from our identity and our wallets. Thought I'd share with the BARF community. The notice is below. Here is the link: http://www.ic3.gov/media/2013/130530.aspx

My son and a few of his friends have asked to go Go Karting. They range in age from about 9 to 11. Do any of you have any experience with any businesses that cater to this age range? It appears that Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City requires drivers to be 16 with a valid drivers license. I...

Some of you may have seen my thread about our new dog, Jengo, the Basenji. He's so cool. I could bore you all till you hated me, so I'll spare you that. We got Jengo from Karen Jones who runs Medfly Brigade Basenji Rescue. She's been in operation for 25 years. Karen was a professional violinist...

Ray Harryhousen has passed. Bummer. He lived a good, long and productive 92 years. Loved his work as it inspired so many to improve his techniques to create some of the best cinematic special effects. His work allowed for so many outstanding Sci-Fi stories to be told. Thanks Harry! :thumbup Ray...

This made me smile. :) EzdefaZeJ7k

Been dogless for four years. Still miss my Aussie so very much. Anyway, the family revolted and decided my grief had gone on long enough, so we got this little guy last Sunday. Never had a Basenji before. Different. Very different. Strangely different. :laughing He climbs everything. Loves...

If you were to find yourself in Santa Barbara for a couple of days, what would you do? Where would you go? I may be down that way in the near future with my wife and son. I'm completely unfamiliar with the area.

This was a great post by Planegray in another thread, and I thought it deserved a thread of its own. He was able to put into words, much better than I, a thought that I'd been having all week. And his post has weighed on me all day. A bit of back story. My folks moved out of state a of couple...
