Saw this guy at the base of Heavenly Valley today, packing up and getting ready to ride home. That’s a first. (Mods - feel free to move to Kitchen Sink if this belongs there - figured since there was a two-wheeler involved it could go here... :laughing).

My 2012 BMW R1200GS is the newest vehicle we own. Our main driver is a Lexus SUV, 2011. Two other cars are more for fun/play, and both are old: a 1988 and a 2003. And I am just now realizing that my bike is already almost 9 years old - I bought it almost new in 2012 with 800 miles on it. Now...

This may be a repost - just showed up in my FB feed and is pretty funny. 4IAeFDU99Hs

I was surprised to see this item in the latest issue of The Enthusiast magazine (Harley's mag for its HOG members). Yeah, because, you know - it's been almost a year since the last annual event, and people are going nuts...:rolleyes Plus, if you missed your chance to get COVID at Sturgis...

Interesting article talking about an analysis of all 745 F1 drivers and all the races they've been in. Was Schummie the greatest driver of all time just because he won the most races? Or was a big part of his success due to the awesome cars he was given to drive? This analysis attempts to...

A buddy is looking for a VP source. Thanks.

Given some of the recent threads elsewhere on BARF, thought it would be interesting to find out where everyone stands on COVID-19. Seems like within the BARF community there is as much diversity of thinking and opinions about this as there is in the US in general. This poll is set up so you can...

After nearly three decades of running it, Steve Page is retiring from Sonoma Raceway. https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/sonoma-raceway-president-steve-page-retiring/ Wonder what might change as a result.

At the end of the 2009 AFM season, I hung up my leathers and sold my SV. I'd had several years of racing and tons of great memories to savor. Then last fall something about turning 60 made me start feeling like I wanted to give it another go - get out on the track and see if I could still have...

BOLO for dark red or maroon Chevy pickup with black lumber rack and side tool boxes with heavy left side damage. Hope they find this dirtbag. https://patch.com/california/sanrafael/s/h5bxp/2-injured-pickup-driver-sought-in-hit-and-run-near-petaluma-chp

Was up there yesterday, heading up to Cobb Mtn, when we came upon road work on 175 just out of town. Completely torn up and dirt as far as we could see. Group I was with didn’t want to do the dirt, so we bailed. Anyone know how far it extends? Can you bypass it via 113? Thanks.

Short version: Last night after riding for an hour in extreme cold in the mountains I got some Chinese food and when I tried to use chop sticks I got a stabbing pain in the center back of my hand like I’ve never felt before. This morning I can still feel a bit of that pain, and I’m noticing that...

...on the hills in San Francisco. Anyone have any?

This is a great idea. https://www.facebook.com/SylvainGuintoliOfficialPage/photos/a.217860221671720/1618084841649244/?type=3&theater Wonder if anyone is doing it here in the US? @z2??

I recently washed my bike, removing a heavy layer of bugs and grime that had been accumulating since last fall's camping trips. It was long overdue, but winter weather kept me off the road, so a clean bike was not top of mind. After a bucket wash and wheel scrub I always like to take my bike...

Figure now is a good time to be thinking about this, rather than waiting for the first power safety shutdown to be announced. Looking for something on small side. Leaning toward quiet models that run on dual fuel - gasoline or propane. Something between 2200W and 3500W. Also would prefer one...

This was from last March, so probably a repost - did a quick search and didn't find anything. So if it is, watch it again - it's funny. :teeth If this really was an organized race, where the hell is the flagman and the caution flag??? Crazy. t3HQeLO9xTI (Thanks @295566!).

Just caught this last night. Pretty well done. Didn’t care for a lot of Colin Edwards’s macho commentary (“when I line up on the grid I’m thinking I wanna tear off your head and crap down your neck.” Really? Umm... no). Did like the comments from the psychologists, though. Wish there was even...

[NOTE: if the mods don't think this belongs here feel free to take it down or move to the appropriate forum. Thanks.] On a group ride to Baja last year, one of the guys in a group ride with my brother died in a crash with a car on a road an hour north of La Paz. Since then my brother has been...

Looking at some route options to 395, and wondering if you have to pay the Yosemite NP fee if you’re only going to ride through on 120/Tioga Pass road. Anyone know? Thanks.
