Are any of you guys using the same bike for Dirt and swapping wheels to do days at the Kart tracks? How well does that work with the suspension needs being so different? I have 2 older dirt bikes and I've been holding off on upgrading to a newer dirt bike because I've been doing less and less...

I’m thinking about getting a cage as a part-time commuter. I’m looking for a coupe or hatchback that is comfortable, fun, sporty, and semi-quick while still being able to be a daily driver and gets over 30 MPG on the freeway per the government testing. The over 30 MPG is a compromise that I’ve...

I had a getoff in T2 at Thill a little while ago and I've been trying to get an idea of why it happened. I have some data logging info using Trackmaster for Android and an external GPS receiver (pretty cool stuff btw) The crash was caused when I lost the front end early into T2. Data logging...

Thanks for being a BARF sponsor and I hope your shop does well with so many other shops closing down but what's up with flooding the classifieds with your ads? We get it, you have helmets but did you really need to create 13 new topics today advertising helmets? Could you imagine if Cycle Gear...

I have FCR's with the single pull cable on my SV and have been having a hell of a time getting the carbs sync'd correctly. I pulled the throttle cable off of the bike to take a closer look at it. If I lay the cable out straight, pushing and pulling the throttle end moves both cables the same...

I've got an SV650 track bike with slicks. I'd like to get some good tires that I can run when it's going to be wet. I was thinking of trying some Pilot Pures. Does anyone have any feedback or other recommendations on what they like to run in the wet that comes in a 160?

A coworker just rolled by the scene and said it looked like everybody was ok but the motorcycle (Harley?) still had the guy pinned. :wtf I hope he's alright! http://www.ktvu.com/news/25100145/detail.html

I’m surprised that I haven’t seen this posted yet. We went to the AMA races at Infineon on Sunday and had awesome seats in one of the suites. We had a great view of T9, T10, start/finish, and T1. They have a fan parade lap where riders can pay $20 to do 2 slow laps around the track before the...

I rode in to work today and came across a fricken nightmare. It looked like there were about 10 cars involved in an accident that took up all 4 lanes. Some of the cars were seriously smashed up and on the ground next to one of the badly smashed cars was a red sportbike (maybe Yamaha). There was...

Does anyone know what kind of bike that was and what size it is? I know those things corner great but I was impressed with how much power it had on the straights. Can an Aprilia RS250 pull like that?

My wife just received a citation for her registration being expired. The fees were all paid on time but she was late getting the smog cert (cage, not a bike). DMV never sent her the registration and she didn't follow up on it so she has been driving with expired tags. The officer tried to verify...

I’m looking for some new everyday riding boots, something with a toe slider for track days. I already have some Gore-Tex boots that I wear year-round so I’m thinking that I’d like the new ones to be perforated. I commute year-round, about what temp do you find perforated boots to be cold? I...

I work in SF and park my bike right in front of the building. Today when I came out of work I saw some dorky looking guy on a bicycle taking a close-up picture of my bike ... like really close-up ~18". I'm thinking WTF is this guy doing? I walk up and he seems a little nervous that I'm...

Well, I know how tonight’s commute is going to go. As usual I’ll be splitting heavy Friday evening commute traffic only tonight I will come up to a slower rider on a cruiser … maybe even 2 or 3 that will not pull over to allow a faster rider through. I’ll be stuck behind this rider for a little...

This is my first post here at BARF and I had a few questions about mini racing that I’d like to throw out to you guys. I ride both street and dirt and am looking to get a “family” bike. It originally started out that this bike would be mainly for my son with occasional use by my wife on...
