I’m going to test a glove-repair idea, but I need some donor leather. If you have some dead gloves laying around, please let me know and send some pics. If they might work, I will be happy to pay for the shipping to get them out of your way. TIA!

I have had a set of Helimot Racer leather gloves for at least 8 years and it might be 10. Unfortunately, on my ride today, I noticed that the index and middle fingers on my left hand glove have holes in them. I guess these gloves are done! I already have a set of the Buffalo gloves, so I don’t...

I haven't posted one of these rides in, um...well, shit, it's been 5 years! :afm199 If you want to join me, meet at Big Rock Deli on LVR at 10am, KSU at 10:15am. There is NO gas at BRD, so be prepared with your tank full before you get there. It's your skin, but full gear is encouraged, whereas...

If there's enough interest, I'm going to host a Newbie Ride on some of my favorite roads in Napa. We'll meet at the Cordelia Starbucks - more details below. If you want to learn to ride (and enjoy) twisty, challenging roads in a way that isn't overwhelming, and you're able to control your...

Hey, buddy, cool bike. At the light, you said you were playing music so you couldn’t hear me. That’s fine; I just wanted to tell you that the reason you’re burning through rear brake pads at a ridiculous rate is that you are dragging the rear brake the entire time.

I went out for a quick ride today. Several bumpy roads, minor speedcrimes and flaccid wheelies later, I got back, went to open the trunk and realized that I didn't have the luggage keys. :wow I remembered opening the trunk, putting in my phone and closing the trunk, but I didn't remember...

For sale is my wonderful Sunset Yellow BMW F800s. For those unfamiliar with the model, the "S" version was imported for just ONE year: 2007. The F 800s is virtually the same as the F 800st in all respects. There are two differences that I know of: you get a top clamp with clip-ons rather than a...

My wife doesn’t ride, but she’s interested in learning. Unfortunately, she gets motion sickness. She can’t read in the car and twisty roads don’t work, even if she’s the driver. Do any of you get motion sickness in a car or on a carnival ride, but not when piloting a motorcycle? If so, can you...

Go get 'em touched up! Having just passed the half-century mark, I have two tattoos that are nearly 30 years old. Neither was especially well done, and as time's gone by, they've gotten faded. The one on my ankle was done with a heavy hand and got a bit...blobular. Anyway, I went to the best...

Great shape, other than some dust. Not even scuffed, just a little too small for me. Leather, amazing padding, oil-resistant sole, steel-capped toe. A mere $30, pick up in Fairfield, Benicia or Oakland (near Lake Merritt). :teeth

Will it work? Or would I be better off with a panel truck or something? I have one wheel chock and two bikes that need to be transported, so I need to be sure of tie-down points. What advice do you have for me?

My sweet wife got me a new BP that includes chest protection, so these need to go. Both are CE-certified. BP #1 is the "Sweep" model from Nextart, size Medium. Yeah, I don't know the brand either, but it's well-constructed. The shoulder strap elastic is good and the waist-belt should fit...

I'm trying to get work done on a new-to-me bike - another BMW F800s. It needs both service and suspension work, and I'd like to get those done in the same place. I had initial success communicating with a highly-recommended independent shop (which is an hour away), but now I can't get a...

I have an adjustable Pit Bull rear stand - the kind with both hooks and pads - in excellent condition. However, my current ride is a BMW F800s with a single-sided swingarm, so the stand does me little good. I would like to trade it for a SSS rear stand of equal quality, preferably a Pit Bull...

*Cash to BARF upon receipt of funds* I was going to start dirt-biking with my son and bought a ton of gear. Then my situation changed drastically and dirt was no longer in the cards. The Berik Ricky Carmichael Pro Boots are brand new. The informational tags are still attached! Size is US 10...

*Cash to BARF upon receipt of funds* I was going to start dirt-biking with my son and bought a ton of gear. Then my situation changed drastically and dirt was no longer in the cards. The EVS Vision Knee Braces are brand new in the box. The only issue is dust on the box - that's it. The...

I'm setting up a Central California ride with a buddy of mine. He doesn't ride much, so I try to drag him out for a multi-day ride every couple of years. He's okay with stretches of so-so pavement, but not (at all) down with riding dirt on his VFR. :rofl Here are the routes I've set up (so...

SOLD: Alpinestars SuperTech Boots, Black, 42 SOLD TL;DR - A* SuperTech Boots, Euro 42/American 9.5, really good shape (despite mild fading on white bits), perforated, never crashed. I think my track days are done, at least for the moment, but these boots will be great for you, whether you...
