Please recommend a shop (or independent) that will work on a modern four-stroke scooter in Santa Cruz. Asking for a friend* who is considering taking it to SF for service. *seriously

I was the happy recipient of a GoPro 5 for Christmas. I plan to mount it on my moto as well as using it to do video interviews of my 75-year-old mother so that family history can be preserved and so my son can have a way to remember her. Along with the camera, I got a triple-suction-cup mount...

I'm planning to do (at least) two track weekends this upcoming. The wife and I are setting our schedules for time off and want to get the time blocked out so I don't get pre-empted by in-laws. :laughing

I'm strongly considering going back to the SV1000s, which I had from new for 35k miles. It was a wonderful combination of reasonable weight, solid power and comfortable ergos. I rode it to the track on a Saturday, took off the luggage and mirrors, did a track day and rode it home again...

Okay, BARF gurus, I need well informed (and well formed) opinions. Here's a select, relevant list of what I've owned in the recent past: SV1000s - Loved the torque and the decent power-to-weight. The seat was reasonably comfortable, and soft luggage worked fine, including a magnetic tank bag...

My lovely (new) wife is buying me a track day with PTT for my birthday. :teeth It's been a number of years since I've been on a track and I wouldn't mind seeing some familiar/friendly faces. Who's going? I'm waffling about C-group (it's been a while and I'm on a BMW 800 - not the quickest...

Hey all, Some will recognize me, most won't - I've been off BARF for the most part since I stopped coaching MSF (which isn't even MSF anymore). Anyhoo... I have a plated '94 XR600r in supermoto trim. It was a bit on the rough side when I got it, so several years ago I enlisted a bunch of...

This ride is organized on behalf of Group Rides Forum. I'm trying to keep the group to eight riders (including me) or less. You can check out the route and sign up here: http://www.meetup.com/GroupRides/events/222180940/ Details: KSU: 9am at Cordelia Starbucks Pace: Spirited (B-ish) with No...

I'm about to dive into this world and figured that some of my motorized brothers (and sisters) were already there. I'm spending (far too much) time on Badger and Blade, Shaving 101 and Amazon. This rabbit hole is deep, just like motorcycling...so why not enjoy them both? I know that I'm...

*** It's all like, totally SOLD...and stuff. *** It's time to sell my 2001 SV650s, as it's been replaced with something a bit more worthy of touring. That doesn't mean you can't go distance on this bike - I did 550 miles of twisties in 14 hours of riding over Labor Day weekend, and it was...

My 9-year-old son received a Wii U as a present, but would prefer an iPad (Mini or not) or iPod Touch with wifi. The Wii U hasn't been opened - the plastic on the box is intact. He can put some cash on top (from his meager allowance) depending on the condition and configuration of your iPad or...

>> SOLD << This has been a great truck for the 18k miles that I've owned it. Hop in, turn the key, drive off. It isn't a show truck, it's a work truck, so the body is scratched, scraped and bumped, in case you care about that sort of thing. What you should care about, though, is that this...

Just like the title says... I have less than 8 hours to get from Bend to Portland next Sunday and I want to hit the best roads possible. What have you got for me, O BARF Elders? :teeth

*** Update: 162 is NOT paved all the way through. It's a great road all the way to and through Covelo, though. :) *** Wish me luck - I'm going to go celebrate my independence with 1300 (s)miles over four days. :teeth Here is the route, in case you're interested. Leaving Vallejo around...

This is a short one, but I've got shit to do. I won't be offended if you keep riding when I cut out to head home. :teeth If you want to join me, meet at Big Rock Deli on LVR at 11:30am, KSU at 11:45am. There is NO gas at BRD, so be prepared with your tank full before you get there. It's your...

Late notice, but I don't care. :teeth Going for a ride later. I can meet someone somewhere between 3 and 4pm today. I can ride Napa, Marin (at the coast) or Wildcat/Redwood. If you don't want to do any of those, propose something else. If there's no post by 3:30pm, I'm out on my own. :ride

I've tried following the instructions on a number of sites (all of which are cut-and-paste, it seems) and can't get this to work: http://www.ehow.com/how_6925693_use-bluetooth-xbox-360-headset.html It seems to me that if the Xbox 360 has Bluetooth, and I have a Bluetooth earpiece, I should be...
