Anybody own an ocean faring boat? I'm looking in the 20-30' range I've never owned a boat before, so school me on the basics. Is boat ownership a totally bad idea that i should purge from my mind? Am I legally required to insure the boat and trailer? I assume i register it with the DMV...

Asking $1500. Located in Walnut Creek Clean title and well maintained. I've had her since 06' and she has been my garage queen. No juvenile BS with this bike. Currently sitting on stands at ~22k mi. I enjoy working on the bike more than riding it. Has just about every upgrade available. Really...

loooong gone! jees, almost forgot to update. Loooong gone!

Hi Folks, My buddy own's an automotive shop in Sacramento, CA and is looking for a journeyman grade mechanic. Needs someone that can quickly and accurately diagnose, then repair cars. Works on all makes, but there's definitely a gravity towards Volvo. Drop me a PM if interested or if ya know...

First off, does anybody know where to find all of the rules/regs that smog techs are trained to follow??? If i knew all of the laws on what can/cannot be done for cat converters, that'd be a huge help. I just bought a 98' Cherokee, which is a 49 state model. It came with a CARB compliant cat...

First off, I just want to say thanks for the advice. The folks here on BARF have been unbelievably kind and generous to me over the years. So, i was in Dublin a couple months ago and got a ticket for an "Unsafe Start", CVC22106. I was driving to Kragen autoparts on Dublin blvd and Regional and...

My bro recently purchased an old Mercedes 85' 300D turbo. He got it for cheap and needs to fix it for cheap - Its function is simply to be his spare car. All of the blinkers work fine when the headlights are off. However, once you turn the headlights on, the front pass side blinker won't work...

Any of yal know anything about transporting cars? I'm thinkin about buying a non running project car that's in Seattle. Dunno how the heck i'd get it down here. Driving it down here is definitely NOT an option. I've found a few online quotes and they're around $500. It'd pretty much cost me...

Without knowing his prices or current offerings, any of you guys interested in vinyl decals? Just looking to see if there is any general interest or not here. I'm certainly not trying to selling anything, but my buddy has offered up his decal/sticker services. He does this kinda thing for a...

SOLD! Man, not too many folks around here are interested in these kinda things eh? 300d's are incredibly well built and over engineered.

Hi law enforcement folks, i dunno if this is the right place to ask this, but i guess it's worth a try. I just sold a bike and it broke down while the buyer was riding home. About 90 mi into his journey, the bike stalled out b/c the battery died (starter was probably spinning the entire way)...

Hi yal... So, i sold my 929rr yesterday. The bike broke down on the buyer on his way home. He lives up in Sacramento, i live around Walnut Creek. He got up to Sac, but the bike died about 2 mi away from his house. I'm certainly not a crook or a peddler of broken crap. I've offered to refund...

Just sold my 929rr and on the way home the bike stalled out on the buyer! Elskippy does all of the service on it and i've never had any probs, especially probs that'd leave me on the side of the road. So, the story is he got off the highway after a 90 mi ride, stopped at a light and bike dies...

Anybody have any recs on a decent machine shop that's not gonna totally wallet rape me in the East Bay? As in... loosely the Oakland-Concord area? I need to get the head for my Volvo decked/resurfaced. Removal of a broken exhaust bolt and rethreading of a sparkplug hole would be nice too.

I'm a complete nooob to welding. However, i have been reading around and it seems that a TIG is the tool to use. I want to be able to fabricate gas tanks, sand blasting cabinets, exhaust pipes etc. Basically i want to be able to nicely and cleanly weld thin metal, sometimes stainless steel. It's...

Ok, so i've been reading around. What is the cheapest way to paint a car, besides via the $.99 Krylon/Rustoleum/hardware store aerosol can crap? I want something that's better than aerosol can graffiti, but cheaper than 300 buck Earl Sheib or Maaco. I need to get my car painted (it's now...

2000 Honda CBR 929 Clean title with pinks in hand. A bit under 32k on the clock. She ain't a prom queen, but she ain't ugly either. See last post for final pricing options. Maintenance: Valves adjusted about 200mi ago by Elskipador. Fork seals and bushings done at same time by Elskippy...

Hi folks, I'm completely bamboozled by this one. I've been hunting around for a while now. I'm looking for a brake line for my car and i have absolutely no idea where everyone buys autoparts around here in the East Bay. Where do you guys buy your car parts at? Besides Kragen, Napa, and...

2000 Honda CBR 929rr --- $3950 2000 Honda CBR 929rr. Hi Folks, It's time to sell my 929. It's just too much for me and it just doesn't give me the same fun factor as my Seca. As much as i love CBR's, there's just no way i can really use this bike to its full potential on the street. It's...
