I own more than one bike and only ride recreationally. Sometimes one of my bikes may go a month or so without use. Should I be using fuel stabilizers, keeping tanks full? Tips welcome. -Mark

This bike has been SOLD! Thanks for everyone's interest. Great entry level track bike or a great platform to create a SV killer priced to move at $2900. Selling because I am looking to upgrade. The Good -Leo Vince full exhaust (with insert so it will pass Laguna Seca's sound restriction)...

After dropping $2K on trackdays at Laguna this summer and spending a good chunk of those sessions in the pit waiting for the track to dry and watching my brake rotors rust and after developing an interest in dual sporting and dirt biking, I have decided to give up sport bikes and try supermoto...

I'm having trouble setting up for corners. Particulary with the sequence of events that I need to perform. I know that when braking I need to keep the weight off my arms. But I also understand that I need to get into position for the corner early on. Which one do I do first? Do I start...

Hey All, First track day of the season is coming up (May 20 at Sonoma) and I was thinking of trying the BT 003 RS over the Q2s I normally take to the track. Does anyone have experience shoeing these on at home? I hear the stiff carcass makes it a pain to get on the rim. Also, if anyone has...

The interwebs go on ad nauseum about whether a 450 is too much for a beginner...and now I'm adding to it. I've been riding street for a few years now and do several track days a year. My brother and I bought DR650s to do some dual purpose riding. I also joined a Sierra Nevada dual sporting...

For those that have posted maps with highlighted routes, how are you doing that? Google mapmaker? Thanks, TM

Or just dirt bike school. Are there any schools or classes/lessons held in the Bay Area to learn how to ride dirt (other than MSF, I hear it's way too basic)? I've heard about Rich Oliver's Mystery School, but was wondering if there is anything more local. I live right near Metcalf, so...

Hey all, Has any 2009+ Ninja 650r owners here on BARF installed a Hyperpro steering damper on their bike. If so, please contact me. I need your help!!! -Mark

Hey all, Looking for advice on bike progression. I currently ride a beater Ninja 650r as my track bike and plan on continuing to do so until I am at a solid B pace. At which point I am thinking of graduating to a beater 600 until further improvement is made and then finally a 1000 (something...

Hey all, I need help getting a Special Motorcycle Transportation Permit from the DMV. This is the permit that pertains to VCs 38088, 38022 and 38232. My permit application and fee has been returned to me from the Sacramento headquarters with instruction to take the bike and the title to a...

I'm a fairly new rider and I would like to hear from members any techniques, tips, or tricks that just clicked for you while riding. Anything from riding techniques to tricks on predicting traffic to whatever. To start, the other day I was riding some twisties and figured out that, along with...

Hey All, Back home in San Jose after 17 years, most recently from Vegas. Forgot how nice the twisties are around here. You can find me riding around South San Jose on weekdays after work or routes like 9 in the very early morning on weekends. If you catch me taking a rest somewhere stop and...

Greetings All, New to the forum, but I hate that this is my first post. I have a spot for the novice track school at Infineon on May 21 through Zoom Zoom for sale...$160 (originally $290). Must attend a funeral instead. PM me if you are interested. Moderator, please move this to Trackdays...
