    SF Scooter Centre on American Pickers

    woo hoo! Mike and Frank made it out to SF with an old Lambretta scooter (with truck back) for appraisal. If you haven't seen the show, it's one of the coolest things on TV. It will be rebroadcast at 10pm on History. They are vintage motorcycle and bicycle guys (especially Mike), so they dig up...

    ATGATT for "ride and hike"

    under the spell of barf's omnipresent messages on safety and ATGATT, I got into a higher gear this spring as far as, well, gear. I've recently upgraded the back and chest armor in my A* jacket to CE, and finally starting wearing the knee/shin guards I bought a year or so ago. But I've been...

    Bell Apex - visor change

    hate to start a thread for this, but I can not get my visor off, and can't find any instructions in my owner's manual, or on the web (tried google & youtube). Jeez, I even went to sportbiketrackgear.com hoping they still had an old helmet review video. I've got the visor in the full up...

    weirdest forum access problem ever?

    Hard to even describe but here goes. Was responding to a post in general the other day and when I replied, the OP's post and mine were interchanged. All the sudden, my post on page 5 of the thread showed up as the #1 post of the thread (the OPs). And her original post showed up on page 5. If I...

    Four Corners Blues

    damn. cold outside, I've got a cold, and haven't been on the bike in a week. So I wrote you barfers/barfettes a blues song. If blues is a foreign language to you, you might want to read the notes (at bottom) first. It silly I know. It's supposed to be. Four Corners Blues rode down to four...

    best house/car/moto insurance bundle?

    try not to jump my ass for starting another insurance thread. Just did a search. #1 result - Dani's embezzlement thread. Not kidding. Tenth on the search list - How old are barfers. Search usually (but not always) sucks. So anyway, my ins co is seriously fucking with me (over the liability of...

    explain/defend your avatar

    Another cold day so I'm bored. What's up with your avatars people? Mine's obvious: my avatar is a photo of my favorite (electric) guitar. my screen name is my favorite amp. Some of your avatars are motorcycles, which I can understand, but some not so obvious. And what's up with guys using sexy...

    Spain - 2010

    Don't know if this has been covered yet but Spain had a hellavu year: MotoGP/Moto 2/Moto 125 Tour de France World Cup French Open/Wimbleton/US Open Of these, tennis and cycling are my favorite sports, and Rafa Nadal my favorite champion (an amazing athlete, full of drive, talent and humility)...

    you guys/girls know what TSA is?

    It's a post 9/11 cluster-fuck of a gov'ment bureaucracy to keep us safe (in the skies, etc). Someone over there has got a sense of humor though. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2194037

    "Do not share lanes with motorcycles"

    this is right out of the "AARP Driver Safety Program" handbook, p55. I'm taking the course for a car insurance discount. I just about fell out of my chair when I read this. Instructor doesn't know diddly about motorcycles or bicycles, and both topics got people fired up (as much as a group of...

    hardly strictly bluegrass fest

    ... this weekend in gg park, speedway meadow. This is possibly the best music festival I've ever attended, and even though I wasn't a bluegrass fan before I went to my 1st hardly strictly, I am now. Search out one of the smaller stages (e.g. Porch) and try to get close to those guys (and girls)...

    another fookin' beautiful day on the bike

    Last year this time I had to give up cycling (hip injury). That was a very very big deal to me - didn't know how I was gonna face another summer without cycling - so this year I started looking around for something to replace it. Getting a m/c was a total roll-of-the-dice. Didn't know if I'd...

    weird week

    1) was locking up my bicycle in front of TJ's when a guy comes out to talk to me about motorized bicycles (a topic I happen to be interested in). Within minutes he had quoted multiple passages from the bible, evidently to inspire me (in some way). I showed more patience than I should have, but...

    Gist Road - best to avoid it

    Was cruising down Skyline from Alice's sunday and wanted to see where it ended. Decided to take Gist Rd (Los Gatos) down to the reservoir. Jeeezus - worst road I've ever been on in my life! It was an absolute bitch getting my V Star down that road. Clutch-slipping/front brake/back brake/1st gear...

    ural on gg

    Saw the coolest motorcycle on the bridge yesterday. I just discovered these bikes on another website, then I see one in person. I was acting like a little kid, trying to get my camera out the window. Couldn't get a great photo given the traffic, but here's something. The light green is from...

    next book for me?

    what I mean, is for a cruiser (rather than sport) rider. I'm not going to be tearing it up (on the street, on the track, or anywhere!). Got both Proficient Motorcycling books (2nd one seemed somewhat redundant), and wondering if there's another book that would be good for my education. I did the...
