My friend is looking for a skilled rider who has bike big enough to haul a photographer. It's for the http://www.sfenduro.com/ -- a mountain bike event near Mt. Diablo, this Saturday (11/20/10). will pay expenses and full on dinner for them. free camping if they are interested too! Contact...

Anyone know anything about the candidates? We have Kamala Harris, SF DA. Steve Cooley, LA DA. The little notes I see are 'soft on crime' vs 'war on drugs' as defining stereotypes for each of them.

alright, i've been meaning to do a sierra loop all summer but it looks like tomorrow is the last chance... but is it doable? according to google maps, sf-4-coleville-108 is about 260 miles and 9 hours. seems pretty long for a day trip, esp since it means not stopping for much at that rate. does...

Recently I had the rear wheel bearings replaced on my subaru (common problem :( ). But on the trip I am on they suddenly started making lots of noise again.i doubt anyone is open tommorow to take a look, so what is the worst case driving back from tahoe to sf? Seizure or just los of wear?

i just signed up for the msf class tomorrow--hopefully not too beginnerish for me. anyone heading out there? still trying to figure out where to stay, prob. in fresno so i don't have to ride after dark.

Likely a common question... but I'm thinking of heading up to Seattle and back after Memorial Day weekend--starting point ~Eureka, to Seattle, back to San Francisco. Trying to think of routes there and back. I-5 is boring and busy north of Eugene and really not all that interesting north of...

Last minute but it's supposed to snow tonight... may head up tomorrow to Alpine from SF if anyone wants to go. 5-6am departure.

Saw this last night while I was walking by as they closed down roads for the marathon. Cones were set up like a construction zone, and cars responded that way: they followed the line of cones to the open lane. An angry cop was yelling at them all to turn left instead. I have no idea if the cop...

In San Francisco--a chain club in my office building wants something like $65/hr for the new guy, more for others. I've seen $45/hr on craigslist for a freelancer. So I'm not sure how much to try and negotiate with the club, given that they're typically rather negotiable rates.

My car has been turning the Check Engine light on and off for a while recently, and I don't know why. Anyone have a scanner to borrow to pull the code? Autozone won't let you borrow them any more, never mind that there aren't any in San Francisco anyway.

Is there a classic Sierra weekend ride from the SF area? Two options I've thought of : Day1 ???->Wentworth Springs/Ice House/SLT/stop. (Or maybe go to Markleeville? Is there cheap lodging? I don't feel like camping.) ??? might be 80/50 or it might be more interesting like 12/something...

Yet another "my bike won't start" thread. Well not exactly--it starts just fine most of the time, but sometimes won't crank at all. Any thoughts on what to look for? The basic behavior is this: When I push the 'start' button, nothing happens. Rechecking all the switches etc and try again...

Thinking of heading up to Arcata early Saturday (so early I'll prob. leave Friday night) then somewhere in Nor Cal--36?96? Who knows. Anyone interested?

Whee... 6 initiatives about taxation and spending and stuff. Vote yes like the Governor wants and revamp some random things (including the current increased taxes), or no and lead to more gridlock but maybe a better outcome?

maybe this belongs in the training forum... but i've not yet managed to do a stoppie. well, i haven't really been trying, but i have managed to make the front wheel skid, both practicing braking and when traffic situations call for a rather immediate reduction in speed. why is this? just the...

what's the current rec? feanor reccomended the joe rocket speedmaster 5.0s, but they don't seem to exist any more. are the speedmaster 7.0 gloves similar? does anyone around here carrry them? i suppose i could order 2 pair from newenough & send one back, but that seems like a pain. their web...

so what's going to happen wednesday? particularly, are the chinese guards going to show up? there are some interesting stories about them being irritating to everyone--protesters (duh), torch runners (do as i say), local police (eh, who's in charge here?)...

Maybe the LEO forum's not the best place to post this, but I figure it's a good start. A few months ago, a friend moved houses using a rental truck. Along the way he bumped someone's fender in a gas station, who in turn decided to get insurance involved. Well it turns out that even though car...

i need a few feet of #40 chain tomorrow... is this something most motorcycle shops carry in stock? i think it's a standard motorcycle size but am not sure. if not, who is likely to have it in stock in the south or easy bay?

i'm thinking of buying a beater truck off of craigslist. the owner said its registration lapsed in februrary... how do I figure out the costs? DMV site doesn't say much other than so many months late = such a percentage added; i want to know the base amount, and what other fun things might come...
