    Bottom line is road charge will replace gas tax in the future. Studies are underway. This will hopefully begin to even the playing field.....except motorcycles aren't even a consideration. :mad The impact motorcycles have on the degradation of the highway system is a percentage that isn't...

Im 51 yrs old and at this point it seems stupid to be wanting a gsxr to rail on and put myself at this much risk but I love to go fast!

    Hayward neighbor cars and trucks parked everywhere

    I need some ideas. I've been back and forth with the City of Hayward for three years over this asshole neighbor. He owns 6 light duty trucks and an old junked out DeVille that is non-op. The trucks all have debris from his "LANDSCAPING" (read :trash hauling) business. He parks the trucks on an...

    going homeless - 1/02/17

    4 months ago I pre-qualified for a VA, no money down home loan. This was my subsequent loan and I would have to pay a 3.3% funding fee. I work for the state of California, three years in. I could not save for a down payment of 5-10% due to cost of living and monthly expenses vs. wages. I...

    Towing a scrap vehicle? Referral help

    I've called every cash for junk place and they wont even come and get it for free. :( The car is on blocks in the garage. It's a 2004 Hyundai Sonata that's totaled. Has no wheels. My guess is it's worth less in scrap than a tow fee. Any ideas?

    V-Strom DL1000 or the XT225? Sell one, both or........

    My inner Buddha is calling. Life after 50 isn't about the collection of things, but the shedding of the past and renewing life. My "situation" has downsized substantially both in terms of finances, space, and the desire for simplicity. Motorcycles have played a part in every stage/evolution of...

    Barf Harley owners - why?

    So I just got my girlfriends Sporty spiffed up and I took it for a spin. I have ridden now for 34 years and NEVER rode one. My first impression was hugely underwhelming. I dont know if it was the loping feel of the engine or the rubbery feel of the chassis but it just feels big and clunky like...
