    Anyone want a scooter

    I opened my side case and noticed a key sticking out of the scooter next to me. I guess that means it is up for grabs. This was about an hour ago and it is located in SOMA. Let the race begin!

    Melted brake light contact?

    I have noticed a brake light warning light come on sporadically for the past month. Just for a little while then it fixes itself. The last two days it has stayed on. The bulb is on when the ignition is on but does not get brighter when I push the brake levers. So I took the cover off and I...

I am trying to figure out whether I need to have them on an independent circuit, on the high beam only or on at all times. According to the DMV, if aimed correctly, fog lights can be...

    1500 lb. Craftsman Motorcycle / ATV Lift - $40

    SOLD I have used this jack about a dozen times over 5 years. I don't use it anymore since my bike has a center stand and my wife doesn't ride much anymore. I paid $100 for it.

    Submitting video evidence to contest a speeding ticket

    I got a speeding ticket (unsafe speed) on the Bay Bridge yesterday. Busted, I was over the speed limit, I knew it, but the question is by how much. Moto officer was more peeved than normal and gave me a lecture about aggressive lanesplitting. He wrote 80 in a 50, which I was concerned with since...
