    Need advice: hit in head by parking gate while entering parking garage on bike

    I'm not going to put up too many specific details, as this is technically an "accident" but wanted to see if anyone has thoughts on this. Entering a parking garage this morning, I got my ticket and pulled forward. As I went under the gate, it smacked me in the head. Hard. I was stunned, took...

    Moto parking 'round SJ Convention Center

    Going to a conference (SMX West in case any of y'all are internet marketing geeks like me) in San Jose tomorrow through Thursday. Found this which gives me some locations, but that's about it. Can anyone can give me tips on moto parking in the area? Cost? Can I pay with a card or do I need...

    Left switch (signal, high/low) for 5th gen Honda VFR800 (98-01)

    Looking for a left bar (turn signal, high/low beams/horn) switch assembly for a 2000 VFR800, 98-01 will work. #15 in this diagram here. According to a quick run-through of other Hondas from 2000, the same assembly isn't used on any other models. I actually just need the high/low rocker switch...

    Front turn signals for '05 Ninja 250

    Picking up a Ninjette for my fiancé tonight, and it's missing the front signals. I figure with all the 250 track bikers around here, maybe someone's got a set of stock stalks they'd like to part with. Also, if you've got anything cool for this bike that you wanna clear out for cheap, lemme...

    Anyone wear (or even tried on) a Tour Master Transition Series 2 textile jacket?

    I've been riding in a FirstGear Rainier jacket for a year or so, and overall, I like it. But one thing has always kinda bugged me - it doesn't have sleeve straps to tighten things up and keep the armor in place on my arms. I've been thinking of getting another jacket because of this specific...

    What the hell? (bike not splitting lanes on bay bridge)

    Filtering across the Bay Bridge back into SF on my way home around 6:30 PM on my trusty Old Yella I came upon a guy on a Speed Triple NOT splitting lanes. Unbelievable. It defies comprehension. I used to have a Speed Triple, and I can't imagine sitting in traffic on that thing. Hell, I can...

    Craigslist's not-so-subtle opinion of cruisers?

    Noticed this in an ad today. Not even sure why I clicked this ad, was on the phone, just randomly clicking ads in the motorbike section.

    Backrest for Givi E50 top case

    Givi doesn't make the E50 any more. I'd love to find a backrest for it, but nothing has turned up on eBay or CL in a while. If you've got one, let me know. I wouldn't mind picking up an internal bag for it, as well. If you have information on what current backrests might fit, I'd appreciate...

    Webpass internet service?

    Anyone using Webpass? It's apparently available at my building in SOMA. I'm guessing it's fiber. I hate AT&T and their stupid slow speeds and crappy service, and would love to kick them to the curb, but don't want act purely out of spite without a good solid connection in place. (I'm an online...

    Chrome Buran laptop messenger bag-black/red, 2 weeks old

    SOLD Hey all, I commute by bike/train, was looking for a sturdy, reasonably weatherproof bag with built-in laptop protection, and ended up with this. Rode with it for a couple weeks, and have decided it's not right for me. It's a very capacious, and provides pretty good protection for a...

    SOLD I know there are a buncha guys on here who play guitar, so maybe one of you will be interested in this thing. (as I was) I play guitar, and bought this a year or so ago, thinking I'd get around to figuring it out at some point. Since then, I've barely had time to plug it in. Everything...

    Free Cortech Saddlebags

    I have a set of Cortech full size saddlebags that I got with a recent bike purchase. They're a little dirty, basically been used a fair amount, and then sat in someone's garage. They're bitchin' saddlebags, pretty sure they're the TriBag saddlebags, these here. Like I said, kinda dirty, and not...

    Waiting for tow truck-best place for tire this morning in SF/Oakland area?

    Got a flat on the rear tire on my VFR this morning on 880 heading into Oakland. Waiting for roadside assistance now. Shops aren't open yet, but who's my best bet for a Pilot Power or some other decent dual compound tire in stock in a 180/55 17? I commute from Sac to Redwood City, hoping I can...

    Lowering girlfriend's starter bike? ('94 Seca II)

    My girlfriend has recently acquired a 1994 Yamaha Seca II as her first bike. (already done MSF, has decent gear, etc) The problem is, she's not real tall, and she's kinda tippy-toeing the Seca. Because she's completely new to riding, she doesn't have super-great balance when bringing the bike to...
