SOLD ON CRAIGSLIST SCREW YOU GUYS! It's time to sell this ol' girl, but I trust she'll find a fine home on teh BARFs. After all, that's where I found her! 44,000-ish miles, but you wouldn't know it from riding it! Well maintained (I have most records), in good shape, starts and runs well...

Yep, I bought a new 2014 1190SX. Well...we agreed on a price and I still have to do paperwork, but it’s a done deal. Huge mistake?

Well, have you? http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-losing-our-damn-minds.html Read there, post there, then come back here. I'm giving $10 to BARF. Maybe you can too?

John Burns Riding my SV650, June 2016 SOLD! Thanks BARF and Greg! A couple o' years ago, I bought Nekkid Ape's SV650: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=482459 It really has been a good bike. It needed some things, but it's a really sold ride. It's sitting at about...

I'd like the input of those who actually ride and appreciate scooters. The scooter market is kind of shriveling up here in the USA, but there is still some cool new stuff coming in. What's your take?

I've got an assignment about buying used motorcycle engines, and thought this would be of interest to the general peanut gallery here. So if you've bought (or sold) used engines, what are some best practices and potential hazards?

I'm thinking about writing a column about awesomeness/non-awesomeness of scooters. Why don't you want a scooter? Is it image? Performance? Safety concerns? Be wacky, be funny, be serious, whatever. Best answer gets a random item of press-launch swag that may or may not be of value to you. if...

Thought you guys would enjoy this. $1 to BARF for each comment posted to MO!!! http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-world-news-roundup-2.html

I sighted my first squid of spring yesterday, which means the riding season has officially begun. No pics, but it was a dude riding down Bancroft at 66th in Oaklamd. He was riding a much-crashed Ninja 650 and wearing shorts, garage-sale helmet and puffy vest for extra safety. As a bonus, last...

Can you separate the wheat from the chaff? http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-diagnosis-psychosis.html#comment-3193003211 I'll donate $1 to BARF for every BARFer who comments on the Motorcycle.com story.

Hey all, Waxed cotton is a hip new fabric I'm seeing in a lot of new riding apparel, but there are no scientific (or even quasi-scientific) testing results I could find online about how good this stuff is to protect from abrasion injuries. It looks and feels good, but is it protective? I'd like...

Anyone ever use this...

https://m-gymkhana.com/mission-college-m-gymkhana-mgx-event/ It's Feb 18-19 at City College, in the parking lot we use for CMSP. Who's going? ToQFa42-z4U This is the first serious motorcycle competition in SF proper for decades, as far as I know. Don't miss out!

Kudos to BARF's Ohio. http://www.bikeexif.com/alta-redshift-st-street-tracker-concept?omhide=true

Why do we do it? Injure and hurt ourselves? Does self-abuse make an activity better, somehow? http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-self-abuse.html Go there and post, then come back here and post!

Some custom bikes are just plain horrible: Some are interesting, but not for everybody: But some, I think, have universal appeal. I think almost every detail of this bike is just right, and a surprising result of safe choices resulting in something that looks fresh and edgy but still...

It's about guns, it's about motos, it's got something for everyone! Post here and there and give some money to BARF, like I just did. http://www.motorcycle.com/editorial-2/skidmarks-obsolescence.html

Is this BARF's first Festivus thread? Festivus for the restivus! So who's celebrating? Are you doing it Costanza or traditional? And any ideas on where to get a pole? The one on Amazon is crap, so shut up about that. "I've gotta lot of problems with you people, and you're gonna hear about it!"

After 31 years, they finally update the old turd! Pretty cool, too: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/honda/honda-rebel.html And the 300-hundy: The 2 bikes share everything but the engine. The 500 looks like it could be pretty fun. $5399 for the 500, $4399 for the 300.
