    Kids bikes - Strider Sport Ducati, Specialized Hotrock 12"

    Ducati-branded Strider Sport $80 I started both my kids on this when they were 18 months. Super low seat height (11") makes it easy for them to toddle around on. 12" foam tires, foot brake kit add-on, two seats (padded saddle + small plastic low seat), quick-release adjusters for seat and...

    How to fight boldness?

    I find that as I get into middle-agedness, I'm starting to take dumber risks than I used to as a young man. It started with racing motorcycles, then getting into mountain bikes, and now I've started sometimes going to sleep without brushing my teeth. I'm afraid that this might have a negative...

    More search weirdness

    I just got a Grom, whooo! I'm gonna search on BARF for interesting threads to peruse, whooo! There are only ten threads on all of BARF that reference "grom," mostly from over 15 years ago, whoooo! - wait, what?

    SMIDSY'd by a left-turner

    Aw man, another sckego contribution to this forum. Dammit. This is the first time I've ever been in a crash involving another vehicle (over 14 years of riding). Last street crash of any kind was 6 years ago. I was riding my Honda CB500f westbound on Penitencia Creek Road, having just left my...

    Lowside at Sonoma Supermoto Track

    Pretty straightforward crash, but interesting circumstances that led to it, so might as well share... Saturday afternoon practice for SupermotoUSA races, on my WR250X-SM (street tires, no warmers). This race weekend had two different track layouts: one all asphalt, and one mainly asphalt with a...

    Kegan Connick #895 Race Report (AFM 2019 Round 5, Sonoma)

    Whooo, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written one of these. After my Blank-Trophy Round 1, I skipped Rounds 2 and 4, and had a largely uneventful Round 3 at Thunderhill. I’ve had Sonoma Round 5 circled in pen, though - it’s one of my favorite tracks, and a few of my coworkers were committed...

    RV rental at the track?

    I remember a while ago seeing a post - maybe on here, maybe FB(?) - of someone who had an RV that you could rent at the track. I recall that he would deliver it there, all the renter had to do was show up. Anyone remember this, or have any leads?

    RIDE ALL THE GOATS (Santa Cruz Hills, Sat 8/17/19)

    So you like tight, twisty, no-centerline-bombed-out-dirt-covered-goodness? Let's go. Perfect for supermoto, still damn fun on sport standard or ADV, feel free to bring an R6 but don't bitch at me when your nuts get smashed. Pace will be quick-ish and roads will be technical, NOT a...

    Legal to ride bike in the blocked-off area of road construction zone?

    In areas where road construction blocks off the bike lane/shoulder, is it legal for me to ride in the inside of the cones/barriers, in the blocked off areas? Or do I legally have to merge out into traffic? Speed limit on the below road is 50mph, and I'm definitely not doing anything close to that...

    Classes for Aprilia RS250?

    Can anyone confirm what classes an Aprilia RS250 is legal for? This is a 249cc, street-based, water-cooled, 2-stroke twin. From my reading of the rulebook, it could go in: Formula 4 (201-250 cc ....... Street based, 2-stroke, twin-cylinder) Formula 2 (201-250 cc ....... 2-stroke) 350 Superbike...

    Season point standings

    I wanted to check roughly where I'd be gridded for races at Round 3, since grids are organized by season point standings (right?) - can anyone point me to where the season standings are posted? Speedhive only has results for individual races, nothing about points or season totals. Can't find...

    Tire sizes

    My Oset 12.5 came with tires labeled "12 x 2.4". Searching around for a replacement online, I found a "2.50 - 12" --that should work, only a tenth of an inch off on the width, right? Nope. Thing is twice as big! Is there a handy guide to sizing these types of tires to make sure I'm getting the...

    Electrics / Bicycles at Metcalf?

    Alright, Metcalf Rangers, two questions: 1) I just got my daughter an Oset 12.5 electric bike. Doesn't have a VIN, doesn't have any title or MSO. I think under California law it actually classifies as a motorized bicycle: 406. (a) A “motorized bicycle” or “moped” is a two-wheeled or...

    The Blank Trophy Round: Kegan Connick #895 (AFM 2019 Round 1, Buttonwillow)

    Mid-way through January, with the chaos of the Christmas season behind us, I broached the topic of going racing a few rounds this season with She Who Holds The Purse Strings. Wifey knew this was coming ever since I took NRS last year at Sonoma Round 6, and my promises of bringing her home a...

    Yet another racing class thread

    OK, so I'm on Motorsport Reg wanting to sign up for Round 1. There's a handy "Need help determining your classing?" button which takes you to a handy .pdf guide: https://dl.motorsportreg.com/bbe93311-d62a-4c4e-b882-04e0216b987f/ (also attached below in case the link doesn't work).
