    WTB: Center stand for Suzuki GSX650F

    WTB: Center stand for Suzuki GSX650F- no longer needed, using r-stand. Surely someone bought this model and took that heavy piece of erector set contraption off their bike. I happen to use my center stands all the time.

    Deadhead trailer from Mountain View or Moss landing.

    I'm coming back from Mountainview tomorrow mid afternoon empty and from Moss Landing on Saturday midday. I have a ramp trailer with a good capacity (about any bike except long dragsters). Trailer being pulled by a 1/2 ton pickup. I can pack back a bike on the way back. Please, nothing 100 turns...

    The Bill of Sale - why you want it.

    A Bill of Sale doesn't take the place of the title nor should the title be the only proof of sale or purchase. Sometimes you sell or buy a bike and its more than a cash and carry sale. There might be accessories or extras that aren't part of the bike but are part of the transaction. For...

    Ventilating a garage for exhaust gases

    The rain will stop but before then, its a great time to work in the garage. I'd like to install some kind of exhaust gas venting solution so I can run the bikes in those situations that call for it. Opening the garage door doesn't work, even with the exhaust at the door and directed outwards...

    Being seen is more than the lights on your bike.

    On the way home today (I was driving my truck) it was dark, traffic was flowing close 55 mph and I saw a ride on a DP style bike in the emergency lane left of the #1 lane on US101. Some distance (approx 30') ahead of the rider was a stopped pickup, also in that lane. Neither had emergency...

    Don't forget to buy local

    It happens, your click through Amazon or some of the on-line bike parts megasites and a few days later a nice package arrives and put a grin on your face. Nice. Don't forget, you can have that same grin on your face and put one on the business owners selling the same items local (they too can...

    That soft touch plastic that turns gooey

    Many manufacturers of things with plastic cases from cell phones to GPS devices turned to putting a soft touch finish on them. You know, the plastic feels sort of velvety (for lack of a better term). After some time, this surface treatment can become sticky or gooey and then it also looks bad...

    Idea for not quite a group ride

    I make several runs from the North Bay to Ceour d'Alene every year on different bikes as I get them. Even when I take the same roads since the bikes are different so is the ride experience. The idea is to have a group of riders on various styles of bikes - cruiser, ST , ADV, sport bike...

    Don't risk it-

    There are flash flood warnings and flooding is already taking place all over. Yet, we will hear about and see people thinking its no big deal or that it's somehow an adventure to drive or ride during the worst weather or how crossing that gentle dip in the road covered by water should be easy...

    http://lanesplitter.jalopnik.com/this-collarbone-saving-inflatable-motorcycle-jacket-is-1790916612 Pricey. What price for safety? Compared to a bad result from a crash its cheap. On the other hand, put $2000 into some serious training and you might stop that crash from happening in the first...

    Was disabling the Galaxy Note 7 legal?

    Today, carriers in coordination with Samsung sent out a software update that disabled all remaining Galaxy Note 7 smartphones still in the possession of owners. What do you think about this given that there was no law saying possession was illegal, Samsung and the carriers (AT&T, Verizon etc)...

    Cycle Gear Neck Guard

    I just bought a few of these wrap around Freeze-Out neck guards. I usually wear a turtle neck even on warm days as they wick away moisture but also let me unzip the top of my jackets and bit get the bug slams. Cycle gear has two types, one also goes up to cover the chin, this is the one that...

    Don't crowd the rider in front of you- lane splitting

    It seems to happen quite often, lane splitting within 10 mph of traffic and suddenly there is another rider sitting on your six so close you know they'll run into you if you need to react to a danger. Watching the rear views isn't #1 on the list when the long lines of cars stretch on for what...

    New but "seasoned" member from the North Bay

    Hello, just checking in. The rains have stopped and the sun is bright so its time for a ride. Its not the weekend when things get crazy out there so time to empty a full tank. I've been riding since 1971, on roads since 1973. These days I ride most days just for pleasure so the tough like rain...
