surprised not to have seen this this come up yet. TLDR; car careens out of control on a straight road, crashes into house, leaves the scene. homeowner & police still looking for the car/driver. despite the article, i think it's an M-Coupe, not a "Z3 coupe"...

so...not quite a 'testing the waters' post, but turning to the collective knowledge of BARF for opinions. we're considering moving on from the 500's (probably keep the 250 as a backup). each has some issues, none terminal: ex500 - left fork leaking. coolant leak, mostly likely water pump...

received an unexpected login dialog box in this thread. looking at the page source, it looks related to something someone linked (or tried to link). only recurs on THAT thread. thoughts?

Just a few shots from a couple of the supermoto races Sunday at IMS.

from the book of Faces, since I know there's a few federal employees on here: (linky: http://www.facebook.com/montereybayaquarium

So it hit me to wonder today how DMV abbreviates the rest of the manufacturer names on titles. Between us, there's a couple of KAWKs, a SUZI, and a HOND in the househould, not counting the cars. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason do it, so how do they abbreviate Ducati? or...

Cross posting this from the "Riders on the Mend" forum, for a little more local exposure; the original thread is here. If you can help, post in that thread, or PM Happy Hornet.

Thought I'd throw this out there for anyone planning ahead (and for when the time comes); little bit of googling found a working discount code for IMS this year; for two 3 day adult passes, and 2 kids tix, it knocked $8 off. from...

Surprised to not have seen mention of this. Stumbled onto it via facebook. Figure I'll give it a month or so or the crowds to calm down, but I'm curious. apparently it's there through some time in january. Linky.

only suck is that it's on a monday... http://www.infineonraceway.com/media/news/606433.html side note: here's the thread from the previous test session they mention :teeth

(mods, feel free to move to moto photos if you think it goes better there) Did any of the BARF LEOs attend? I didn't catch much, but what I saw was pretty damn amazing. There did seem to be a number of CHP, both Fresno and Visalia traffic units had booths, and I saw officers from Folsom and...

So Triumph's website lists a demo day this coming friday/saturday at Ace Motorsports. Kind of surprised to not see anything about it on BARF if it is, and didn't get a chance to call them today to check. anyone know if this is actually happening?

First of all, bike is an 06 Ninja 500; mostly commute miles, some mountains, no track. At around 20k (maybe 21k), the front pads were done (they were on the bike when I bought it at 14k), so I replaced them with a set of Galfer pads from cycle gear..not sure on exactly WHICH ones, I just asked...

wandered into the art museum in SLO today, and found not much of it at the moment is actual art; much of it right now is engineering type stuff. they have a display of some craig vetter fairings, some various streamlining related stuff, both pedal power and motorized (mileage). also on display...

Looking for input on what traffic is like on Niles Canyon Rd on a Friday evening, between Fremont and 680. (heading to Lib'mo). Having run 680 from Fremont up to 84, wasn't much fun, hence an alternate route. (Hoping a Lib'mo meet will fall on the Friday I'm up there :Party)

So I was in Santa Barbara this weekend (sans moto), and I have to say I'm jealous of the weather :thumbup Didn't see a lot of bikes that weren't cruisers though; couple R6's, a CBR, a few Ducs (Hyper, Monster, a 999, and a 996), and one Aprilia Dorsoduro. Swarms of scooters though That is all...

so..2 motos in the bed is a little more than my truck can handle without upgrades (tie bar in the front of the bed, plus some helper springs, at minimum). instead, i chose to go the small trailer route, as i won't ALWAYS be carrying two. picked up a 4x8 (folding) harbor freight trailer for...

so i was poking around the gf's 250 last night, en route to installing a new headlight bulb. stumbled across a couple random loose wires near the headlight, in front of the steering head. one is 12v hot with the key off (white with black stripe), the other seems to be a ground (black with...

Stumbled across this on another forum; confirmed to work on 64bit Win7 Home Premium, and 32bit Vista Home Premium. Gives you a cool little control panel-esqe bunch list giving you access to all kind of settings. Still kind of wandering through it. linky
