https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvm4Wm_ZvuE Good stuff about bias as related to motorcycle riding! It may or may not help us remove our biases, but at least we are made aware of them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhYe7f0BQx8 Moto hooligans, Max Wrist and Two Wheel Jesus, are badly hurt on the San Gabriel Mountain road on 7/14/2020. P.S. the video is distressing to watch.

My 1992 BMW K75 engine stutters. It would miss, i.e. a split second cut-off like a click every 10 to 20 seconds. The problem got worse over time and the acceleration is affected. To spare you the rigmarole of troubleshooting the air, spark, coil, etc., the problem is a 28 year old...

Shad hard saddlebags owners, what is your experience with your Shad luggage? Is installation easy? Like no modification to the mounting hardware? Does the three point (3P) mounting system hold up in a parking lot bike drop, or will the 3 point plastic clipon break as soon as the saddlebag...

Ducati Scrambler Demo Day today and tomorrow at La Honda (just west of Alice's.) There are eight demo Ducati Scramblers there waiting for you. I rode the 800 and the new 400. The new cafe version with the number 54 on the side sure looks good. Go sit in their tent and meet the demo lead...

Any BMW shaft driver owner with a paralever 30mm with cutout tool you can either loan me or teach me how to make one? I am trying to remove the rear drive.

http://www.motorcycle.com/features/whatever-nature-nurture-cruiser.html John Burns, the writer of this article, gave five reasons comparing sportbikes and cruisers. I copied and pasted his reason #5. "#5 El sexo! If I was the opposite sex, I’d go for the flexible daredevil on the sportbike...

Anyone got the tools to help me add a quarter inch preload to my Wilbers rear shock? My Wilbers rear shock does not come with a remote preload adjuster. The shock is off the bike. The two rings won't budge with the spanner wrench supplied with the Wilbers shock.

Hello, Barfers, I left my lights on and drained my battery. After I ordered a new battery, I found a way to charge my battery, simply hook it up to the charger and to another battery in parallel. Now my battery is working fine. I rode it last weekend. My new battery arrived today. I thought...

Give me a tow? BARF rocks. The bike is home! I need a tow from Calmoto to home (about two miles.) A valve in the engine came off and damaged the piston. It is too much money to fix. I just want to get the bike home for now and then decide what to do later. If you have a tow and could...

Drove my 2001 BMW R1100RS to a burger joint. It won't start after lunch. I took the battery out. Charged it over night. Still will not start. Tried jump starting with my car battery, no. The lights are on. It makes a noise and the lights dim, just will not turn over. Any suggestions...

I got slapped by the motorcycle god this morning. It was rainy. I was just gonna fill up the tank because parking empty with the fuel lamp on (exposing the sensor to air) is bad. I decided to go around the block. Then the sun came out and I decided to ride around the neighborhood. Then I...

Travelling south, the riders rode staggered in the middle #2 lane on Hwy 85. There were so many riders that the line of bikes must be a mile long. What a sight.

Starting my bike in a cold morning resets my digital clock to zero. People in the bmw forum say it is either time to replace the battery or change to a lower weight motor oil. In the past, I have waited until the battery wouldn't take a charge before I replace them. Do you replace your...

I am trying to replace my 2001 BMW R1100RS poly V-belt. Loosened all three bolts but the belt does not slacken. Any oilhead mechanics out there know why? I bought the adjuster tool 12 3 551. Have not used it yet.

What is your solution for cold hands? My heated grips are not enough. Ebikeworld says Tourmaster Synergy heated gloves aren't warm and the wire connector a hassle. Not riding in the cold is not a solution. Anyone own the Aerostich lobster claws?
