    FREE - Baby swing - needs work

    Fisher Price swing whose swing motor has crapped out. The music and mobile (spinny kid-distracter) are still functional. Sorry for the sideways photo. Swing is not actually wall-mounted as currently configured. YouTube has a few videos on how to replace the little electric motor that runs the...

    Nearly got backed into :/

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcGTK9Txppk This was @ Univ & 6th (Berkeley) this evening around 6:10 pm. I think my lane placement was a double-edged sword here. I had the bike in gear but didn't leave enough room or point my front tire toward a safe spot. I cut off most of the leading vid...

    Convertible trundle bed

    Howdy, folks. I'm looking for $120 for this here bed. It's in Orinda. Do you sleep, or know people who do? You might appreciate this mattress deployment system, which I am told was originally procured from Crate and/or Barrel. It is made of metal, it holds mattresses, and it is dope. So...

    Wanted: sawdust, approx. 2 cu ft

    Hello BARF wood particle generators, I need a couple cubic ft of sawdust for a backyard oven project. Anyone got some laying around that I can take? I keep coming up empty-handed for various reasons when I ask around at lumber places, etc. Maybe I'm on a watch list or something someplace. Matt

    Stolen Roadcrafter :(

    I was dumb enough to leave my roadcrafter visible enough in a vehicle to have a window spark-plugged out and my shit lifted. This was at the Pt Isabel dog park, the back lot (park-at-your-own-risk-land), today at about 7 pm. Along with my wallet. :| Which I nearly never leave in it. Except this...

    Emeryville BMW lights on

    If anyone knows/is the owner of a black late 80's/early 90's bimmer adventure touring bike in Emeryville (maybe an R100GS?), its lights are on. Don't wanna say exactly where out of web-induced paranoia. It's on a corner, parked in a yard. I knocked on the door of the place, no reply.

    XS Fieldsheer Textile Two-Piece

    These were billed as women's gear, but I'm a little skeptical (read on). In pretty damn good shape, due to my girlfriend not wanting to ride much. This was her gear for a handful of rides back in 05 or so. Pretty old, but have seen very little time in the saddle. No fading or funkiness beyond...

    Givi Monokey plate?

    Anyone have a spare Monokey mount plate? Even a busted-up one (hell, preferably a busted-up one)? I'd like to bolt it to something stationary to make a dock for my Givi box when it's not on the bike. I know, I know - it's like, "Anyone have a bike they're not riding? I want to hang my gym...

    Three dollar knife, y'all.

    I had an errand to run to 99 Ranch in glorious southern El Cerrito this afternoon. While wandering the aisles of the market, I happened upon a very fine $3 knife. The Shibaxi Utility Fruit Knife. It's an ultrachintzy folder: megabreakable pseudo-PET handle, one blade, one combination two-tine...

    Did you enjoy "Goodnight Moon?"

    My friend Rigel made the attached comical image, and has shirts and whatnot for sale here. (Zazzle dot com) Zazzle apparently makes you set your account settings to PG-13 to view their stuff, but you get the idea. I thought BARF might get a kick out of it.

    Fretless bass (Ibanez SR500)

    Hello BARF bassists. I've got a fretless '93 Ibanez SR500. Maple body, bolt-on neck. Active electronics. XP2 and XJ2 pickups, which I gather is Ibanez's way of saying two house-brand pickups (one P-bass style, one J-bass style). Never stunted or laid down. It may need to have its cable jack...

    Joe Rocket hemp jacket?

    So I see Joe Rocket has a hemp jacket. Here's some interesting back-and-forth between a blogger and a JR designer, who makes some bold claims for hemp's abrasion resistance: http://dealernewsblog.com/2009/08/27/roll-your-own-gear-joe-rockets-hemp-jacket/ The jacket looks fine, and as a...

    Stock Suzuki footrest? GSXR, SV, Volusia..?

    Hello BARFers, I broke a stupid little torsion spring on my shifter-side foot peg. It's the one that supplies the tension to return the peg to horizontal after it folds. It's a part that's shared across a number of models' peg assemblies, usually 03 and up as listed above. So, if anyone is...

    Rye whiskey

    The Sink has probably hosted a gazillion liquor threads, of which a good third must have been devoted to whisk(e)ys of various ilk. But I want rye recommendations. I've tried Old Overholt and a few other pretty widely available ryes. I'm currently sipping a 100-proof Rittenhouse. I find that...

    WTB: kid trailer for bicycle

    Greetings, BARF parents. Or neighbors of parents you don't like, who have nice stuff and leave it laying around unsupervised, and have it coming because they're bad people: I want one of those bicycle trailer things you stick your kids in. Do I want it for kids, you may ask...? No! Even...

    Bike knocked over, blah.

    Someone knocked over my bike last night while I was at a friend's. (edit: having ridden w/ gf in her car, left bike @ home) Parked on the street, next to my driveway. I guess is sorta comes with the territory. What's odd is that the driver pulled fwd across our drive to hit it - that is, it...
