Long story short.. I have a MTS 1000 DS with a dead starter motor and PNO Ully that I need to move from Campbell to Blossom Valley before the 31st and my original transport buddy is a no go because of possible Covid exposure. Slightly longer story. Unexpectedly moved, no trailer hitch and...

I'm posting this from work, I'll post up some photos later this week. This is the older, non-IS version. I have all the caps, the hood, the case, tripod collar and probably even the original box. Nothing particularly special about this, if you know Canon's SLR lenses you know this is a good...

SOLD Totally stealing the original add from Lunch Box because I keep forgetting to write one which has been stopping me from posting this bike up for sale for about a month and I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep thanks to the heat. Notes: I added some cheap mirrors so I could ride it to...

So about two weeks ago my late 2008 macbook pro finally died. For the last couple of years I was running it in boot camp with it booting primarily in to Windows 7. Last week I ordered a Razer Blade 14" and got it on Friday. So far it's been a fantastic laptop and the only thing I dislike is the...

So a tiny bit of context. My 2013 First Gear H/T Overpants have been a huge disappointment. They leaked at several of the major panel seams long the legs. On my way to work the crotch seam blew out. I will probably send them back to First Gear since they are still under warranty but that means...

The Uly has decided to start idling really low and there is a soft slap/clack sound coming from the exhaust. This has also led to occasional, short bursts of power loss when holding the throttle steady above 5k rpm. I'm not sure where to start with addressing this but since the Multistrada is...

So I was originally planning on picking up a Tavor SAR with my '13 tax return but since it SB-374 looks like it will pass that is kinda out the window. With the wait time and cost on CA legal Tavors I doubt I'd be able to get it by Dec 31. So new plan. I'd like to get a few AR lowers before the...

So the last time I looked into this Jim at ACS said between 1800-2500 and they couldn't actually do the valve guides themselves. A while a go I looked around and found a shop in Atlanta that would replace and tolerance valve guides for $90 a piece if you sent them the bare heads. I briefly...

So I'm having to put off my plans to buy a Multistrada 1200 until next spring at the earliest, which is not all that bad because the Capanord and 1290 Adventure will be available for comparison shopping by then. In the meantime I am going to actually sort my Multistrada 1000 DS's valve guide...

FFFFF.. I figured I should at least sit on the Multistrada's leading competitor before buying one. About 15 minutes after I set foot in a nearby BMW dealership I was being handed keys and told "See you about 2 hours." So.. and then I rode a lot. My elbows are sore.. weird.. holy shit that...

Where would you take a pair of textile riding pants for zipper repair? A piece of the storm flap got caught in the crotch zipper and while working it loose the zipper and 3 teeth broke off. In San Jose is preferable. :(

So I'm not sure if this is the right place or not but I figure some BARFers seem to be pretty up on the whole guns thing. A bit of background, when I moved to CA in 2008 I left a very nice Soviet SKS back home in GA with my father because I didn't want to deal with converting it to make it CA...

So this has been a very busy week that has completely ruined my sleep schedule; however, I got a lot done and learned a whole hell of a lot. 2012 Multistrada ABS Holy hell, let me sum my feelings on the new Multi up succinctly. It is a faster, more refined, better thought out version of my...

Seems like a simple question. After some heavy thought and hard looking at my finances I've decided to buy my first new vehicle ever. I'm looking to buy either a 2013 Multistrada base + side cases and centerstand. (Maybe low seat. We'll see after testing riding it next week.) or a S Touring. I'm...

So I have a bit of a dilemma, my much beloved Multistrada has bad exhaust valve guides and no matter how I approach addressing the issue it will require at the bare minimum several weeks of it not being ride able. The problem is that it's my form of transportation. There are a few other issues...

So.. toward the end of my trip home from the aerostitch store the oil check light came on on my Multistrada and then as soon as the bike was in gear and moving it went away. This happened over and over on the half mile ish from 280 exit ramp to home. I'd start braking, light would come up then...

So I have another stupid question. I'm about to replace the bars on my Multistrada (got 3 options in mind) and it seems no matter what I do I'll need longer brake lines. The question I'm trying to investigate is basically this. There is a roughly 10 inch line from the master cylinder down to a...

So my Multistrada handlebars are bent pretty bad from falling over in the mud last month. I feel like an idiot because I've been riding with them like this since it happened like 3 weeks ago and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get my right mirror adjusted properly. So I'm rapidly learning...

So last night I pulled apart my AST2 and cleaned it thoroughly since I was loaning out the TPG Rainer I've been wearing for a while to a friend to see if he liked it. While taking apart and cleaning the armor I noticed that the shoulder and elbow pad on the side I went tumbling across gravel on...

So coming up on rain season and I was wondering what people use to touch up water proof/resistance in things like textile riding gear. In this case it's an Olympia AST2. I'm worried about some leaking around the vets. I've heard something about Nikiwax but I don't know which product would work...
