Looks like I'm supposed to add some safety wire for this season's racing. I know the Nut Holer used to be a thing, but appears to be NLA. https://smile.amazon.com/MOTO4U-Safety-Lockwire-Drill-Metric/dp/B074J83Q2V/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=safety+wire+guide&qid=1556221915&s=automotive&sr=1-3 MOTO4U...

I recently picked up a 15 450XC-F in supermoto trim. Bike has 44 hours on it, 10 hours on the big bore. It was a very nicely set up bike, lots of money in parts on it (Excel rims, Talon hubs, Berringer 6pot, FMF full Ti exhaust, Hinson slipper, etc) and very clean, with maintenance records, so...

from time to time, the text box for PM replies isn't editable. I've had this happen on multiple computers, running chrome. see grey selection, rather than blue if you were editing any ideas?

Per FB, Dixon will be open to karts and moto this weekend. I'll be there Sunday. Gates open at 10. The next NorCal Moto Championship race is there, in 2 weeks, so it's a good time to get some practice for that... or for SMUSA next weekend without taking time off work.

I know that, in general, yellow signs are cautionary while white signs carry the force of law. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8409805,-122.2831804,3a,27.2y,278.15h,97.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sX4zxw6RROutEz-eF5oAiYg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 I saw a no turn on red sign that's a yellow background. In...

My new bike has Excel rims on Talon hubs and I'll be installing an Outex tubeless kit next time I have the tires off. I had great luck with the same kit on my Excel/Talons on my YZ so I figured I'd go for it again. I found a set of Marchesinis with some minor chain rash for a fairly good price...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/123675536201 anyone ever open up one of the newer style "Ohlins 2.1" knockoffs? I have friends who have had good luck with the Scotts knockoffs. I know, quality won't be the same as the $700 original. I'd be tempted to open it up and look for anything obviously...

I used to write directions down on paper and use that, but sometimes it can be convenient to let my phone give me directions through a Sena. If I map out directions from A to B to C to D on google maps, with alterations from the default route, and send them to my phone... the alterations don't...

for anyone looking at a Kendon Industries, LLC - Stand-Up Motorcycle Trailers and Lifts trailer... be VERY careful inspecting the welds mine's ancient (1999) but they blew holes in some of the tubes and powdercoated right over it. I inspected for damage when I bought it, but assumed that a...

Both Stockton and Dixon are open this weekend. Stockton is moto only Saturday, $40 for non members, $30 for members. Dixon is mixed both days, $40. I think I'll be at Dixon on Saturday testing the new bike... decided Bakersfield is awfully far for half an hour of track time on a bike I've...

The guy I bought my new racebike from suggested it, and I'd never considered it before. Seems like it could be very helpful on days when there isn't any sun to leave them in.

looking for a decent generator - prefer Honda or Yamaha, and quiet. small is good, just need to run warmers. PM me if you have one available.

This summer I plan on heading north on the NC700. I'll be going all the way north. Still undecided on Prudhoe Bay vs Tuk. Any thoughts on which? My understanding is that the road to Tuk is often a bit more treacherous, and I won't be on a particularly dirt friendly bike. Anywhere specific...

https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2019/vanishing-violence/ I'm surprised that the SF arrest rate continues to drop while other places have leveled off. I wonder if the crime rate is dropping or if it's the enforcement rate that's dropping.

I'm looking at picking up a newer supermoto to race. It's likely to be a KTM or Husky. I know most of the KTMs and Huskies are mostly the same bike, with some suspension differences. Where can I find info about the different engine families? I've read that, even for a given year, KTM has had...

Is it possible to get a bigger PM box so I don't have to delete to clear up space? I'm happy to donate more. I know 1000 isn't exactly small to begin with but I've had to clean it out before and only goes back 4 years.

Looking to replace my YZ426 with something a little less ancient. I'd like something already set up well for SM: 17s, serious brakes, resprung/revalved, etc. Prefer Yamaha but am open to others. Budget... idk, 6k? Not enough for an FS450. Let me know what you have.
