What are you grateful for, moto-wise? http://www.motorcycle.com/features/featuresskidmarks-gratitude-html.html Please post hither and yon, but especially yon so I can keep my job. Yes, I gave money to BARF so I could spam guilt-free. You can too, you know.

Yep, now THIS is a baby adventure bike, for reals. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0265624EN/the-new-bmw-g-310-gs

That's the headline, but that's city range, not highway. At a steady 70 mph, you can go 102 miles with the 13-kWh battery and $2500 powertank upgrade. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/motorcycles/ But electric motorcycles will never be a thing because I need to go 1000 miles on a charge and they...

Is motorcycle training worse than nothing? http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-worse-than-nothing.html Flame away!

Maybe there was a thread about this in May, when the Governor's Assocviation report (http://www.ghsa.org/html/files/pubs/spotlights/motorcycles_2014.pdf) hit the airwaves, but there were 5010 moto-deaths in 2015, up a lot from 2014. However, here in Cali, deaths were down about 7%. The one big...

Holy Soft Pretzels Batman! https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0264634EN/the-new-bmw-k-1600-b

My latest on Motorcycle.com: http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-dollars-per-power.html My horribly unscientific chart: How does your ride measure up? Please post both here and there, so the management at MO thinks somebody reads my columns. Thanks BARF!

If you're not in F&I, or haven't done this exact thing, please STFU, because you don't know WTF you're talking about. I seek the wisdom of those who know! My question, if you work/have worked F&I at a GM dealer, is this: if I lease an EV, taking advantage of the $7500 federal tax credit, can I...

Because why not kick a dead horse when it's down? http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-start-me-up.html

So I have a gig writing these buyer's guides for eBay, and while it pays pretty good, the work sucks at my soul like a Zika mosquito at a blood bank. I have one due today, and while it's half done, the thought of writing the rest of it makes me want to kill myself, for real, if only a little...

I hope you enjoy my latest column: http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-superpowers.html

I rode my SV down to LA to help Motorcycle.com with a shootout story: PNgOMOmbzCI A good read if you're interested in the new SV, which is a peach and a killer deal. http://www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/suzukis-sv650-takes-on-the-competition

I wrote they offer some protection, but maybe not as much as you expect--or want. http://www.motorcycle.com/features/featuresskidmarks-whos-got-your-back-html.html Discuss...

Not quite a cruiser, not quite retro, not quite cafe...still a pretty cool-looking bike. HAs some new handling chops to make it (possibly) more fun and comfortable to ride than your average Sportster. MSRP starts at $11,199. H-D press release text: HARLEY-DAVIDSON UNVEILS NEW STRIPPED-DOWN...

I'm curious about what would be a good choice for a semi-auto rifle to keep for home defense and target shooting? I'd like it to be light, durable, inexpensive and have a detachable magazine. I'm not a gun fetishist, so it doesn't have to be "tactical" looking. But I'm confused--you can have a...

Written by some D-Bag here on BARF...with great photography by Bob Stokstad. Post there, post here, post everywhere. http://www.motorcycle.com/features/dirtbag-challenge.html

The new Tesla Model 3 was whipped out yesterday...beautiful car, $35,000 ($25,000 after incentives), 215-mile range and Tesla already has 135,000 $1000 deposits. Crazy. It won't be out in significant numbers for a couple of years, but I'm looking at this car and wondering why anybody would want...

http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-i-am-this-motorcycle.html Post some comments here, but also on the MO site as well...it helps me out. Thanks BARFers!

What are some of your favorite eBay searches? I like looking for Corbin seats and Vanson jackets.

I'm writing about organ donation this week, and was wondering how many folks on teh BARF were organ donors. Please answer honestly! You won't be judged. At least, not by me...
