    Dealing with Breakup & Potential Infidelity

    I met her about three years ago after I returned from a year abroad in Japan. She'd been over there at the same time, but neither of us knew each other at the time. We only met after we'd both returned, by coincidence at that. We had both come out of poor situations at that time and had a...

    One Piece Suits on a Budget

    Barf, I'm making a couple purchases for the upcoming riding year. The SV has just been treated to a set of pitbulls, steel lines, and woodcraft clipons. Traxxion drop ins to come later this year along with springs. Rear shock is a swapped 636 job which will suffice for now.* I plan on doing as...

    Late Fall on the Blue Ridge Parkway

    I work a lot. As luck would have it, I ended up with a three day weekend (Sun/Mon/Tues) and decided to reward myself with a Fall overnighter on the BRP. For those not familiar with what is probably the single longest best stretch of pavement on the planet, the parkway runs from northern...

    Tokyo Motor Show --> CBR800RR Photo

    http://world.honda.com/Tokyo2009/HondaBooth/photo/pages/38.html On the left. Click that link and look at the label of the photo. On a Honda corporate website. Is that a typo? It can't be. So what the hell is it? What is this bike and why have we never heard of it? Lame. It is a typo...

    Replacing a Chain on the Cheap w/ Motion Pro Mini Tool

    Alrighty... You guys may have seen that I posted a thread about a week or two back in regards to the somewhat outrageous costs for chain tools... Well, the chain and sprockets are on the bike and I've got a very cost effective solution for those looking to save a buck. You need to be able to...

    Chain Tools That DONT Suck

    What are they? Who makes them? I've heard way too many shit stories about Motion Pro to trust 'em... From threads stripping to pins snapping. Sure, some of this is no doubt negligence, but if it smells like shit, it probably is... and I'd rather not take my chances coughing up a hundred...

    Honda V4 Article (request)

    Bit of a request... I'm trying to dig up a Honda V4 article.. White/lighter text on a black background. The title page was black with a picture of the bike and in giant letters V4 - Best motorcycle engine etc.. But why aren't we all riding one? Explained the background and development of...

    New V4 / VFR... No - Seriously

    Pulled from a link... Well I suppose that it is official. Not exactly holding my breath, but it is interesting to see that they're halfway committed to bringing the V4 back into the spotlight. More power to big red if they can pull it off... Even so, I'm not holding my breath for this one ;)

    I salute you, Mr. Police Officer

    Coming down the hill, I gradually applied the binders and brought the 250 to a rest at the stop sign... Through the chain link construction fence and stacked wooden pallets, I wasn't able to see you on my right... You had no stop sign and had the right of way... and could have easily rolled...

    Goodbye, Ninja 250 - Hello..... ?

    Good evening, BARF. Could use a hand here. Although I never thought I'd be saying this.... I think it's time to sell the 250. We've got a lot of history together. Set lap records on 9 (unbroken to this day...) Cured cancer... Killed Chuck Norris... She's been a helluva bike and I...

    Closer to her than I would have ever liked to have been...

    Evening BARF, I went out for a ride earlier today... I'm currently doing a stint in the Atlanta area out back east (T-Minus 2.5 weeks and counting...) I'm not personally a fan of most of Georgia but the northwest portion where the Appalachian Mountains end is truly beautiful. There is so...

    FS: Cortech Coaster Air (Men's Small)

    Hey there everyone, I purchased a Cortech Coaster Air size Small men's jacket in hopes that it would fit but... it turned out to be a little bit too big for me. Would work pretty decently I'd imagine for somebody with a size 40 chest. Jacket is brand new and has never been worn aside from me...

    Road Trip - Bay Area to ?

    Good evening everybody, I plan on making a visit to the Bay Area sometime around in a couple weeks - early March - and I'll be bringing a couple japanese exchange students in tow to show them a little bit more of the United States that they wouldn't normally have a chance to see. Unfortunately...
