    Bike is having a few issues...

    Repost from the Ninjette Forum: "My bike is getting on in miles (he wasn't maintained well by previous owners and I have admittedly run short on money to do it in a timely fashion myself). Recently I did the valves but the issues I'm talking about happened before that and keep getting worse...

    Airbrushing!

    Slowly easing back into barf after some crazy life changes. I've started my own airbrushing business (and am the airbrush supervisor at Six Flags). Figure that airbrushing and bikes have gone hand in hand for so long, may as well make a thread and try to update it along with my other social...

    WTB HD Computer Monitor

    One of my monitors took it's final shit on itself today after 10 years and I'm looking for a new one. Needs to be Full HD, 20 inches or more. Trying to keep it under $100. I can pick up anywhere in the East Bay.

    No Horn, Brake Light or Fan

    So, my ninja 250 has no blown fuses and no horn, brake lights for either brake and as far as I know, no fan because he almost overheats after a good highway stint. Everything else works fine. I thought it happened after I bled the brakes but I had suspected the fan before that. I only checked...

    WTB/Take Old Fridge Compressor

    So I need a silent compressor for my airbrushing but don't have the $400 to spare so I'm gonna DIY myself one. Figure barf is as good a place as any to ask if anyone has an old drained fridge I could pull one out of. Unfortunately I don't have a vehicle that could support a fridge to drain the...

    WTB Pre-Gen ninja 250 rotors

    I at least need the rear one in a pretty bad way. I'm pretty poor right now but if you have a front at a good price as well, I'll take it. On a related note, if anyone is doing part-outs, I need clutch friction plates as well.

    Painted my Bike (and I'll do yours, too!)

    Well, I painted on the bike last year this year I painted him on a shirt at work on a slow day: I want to do a better one so bad already. xP Of course I only see the fuck-ups. And the fact that it was done on a damaged shirt sideways... If anyone has pretty bikes (sport, cruiser, motard...

    Will take old/unusable helmets

    So I want to paint up helmets and whatnot but need practice and all that. If you have old or beat up (but not too scuffed up) helmets I'll take them off your hands. I won't sell them or use them to ride, I just need the canvas to experiment with. They don't need face shields or anything. I'm...

    Will Work for Anything

    Really I just need a job right now, preferably within the next month or I will have to sell my bike and move back to NJ. My business went under after the studio I was running it out of closed and my current art contract is giving me no assignments. If anyone knows of a place taking entry-level...

    Small-Bike Touring Advice

    Unsure if this would be better in the touring section, move if you like. To preface the whole thing, as a rider I am lame. Not in that I'm particularly terrible or do stupid shit but I am just not a cool person on a motorcycle about 95% of the time. I don't give a shit, the thing gets me...

    Extreme Supply.com

    After searching for a specific pair of boots I fell in love with (as always with gear and me they are out of stock in my size on every big site or closeout so also hard to find) I stumbled up on Extreme Supply.com, or more specifically, their ebay store that was selling them in my size. I read...

    Under the Sun Studios Re-Launch Party (10/27)

    Don't know if this is entirely appropriate for this forum? Only other one I could really see is maybe the KS. Move it to wherever applicable if not. However, my friend who owns the place would get a kick out of the lot being filled with bikes! And it should happen after any morning rides...

    Question for Prius owners

    So right now I work at a car wash and we get a lot of priuses (priui?) because hey, bay area. Also, 70% of their drivers have no idea what or how to put their car in neutral is. Anyway, my coworkers and I have come upon something really peculiar. On a lot of the "newer" models (whenever they...

    May Need Maintainence Help

    So my ninja hit 21k on the odo and this means maintenance because I may be broke but I know where I need to spend. Unfortunately it is my only vehicle and the place I usually take it to is all the way in Hayward and always has a backlog so they won't be able to get to it anywhere near the time...

    Someone to weld in a catalytic converter

    If I can't pay my boyfriend to do it because he hates exhaust work and close quarters so much, I need someone to put in my new cat (and cut out the old). It's pretty basic straight pipe to straight pipe but my car is pretty nasty underneath. I'm going to try to clean it up some for whomever's...

    Looking for studio/1 bdrm anywhere between Pleasant Hill and Livermore

    Title says it all. The catch is that I likely can't pay over 700-800 a month because of "income requirements" because you know, if I made 3 times the rent, I'd live at these shitholes. And this is still all assuming that they'll accept the fact that 50%+ of my income is in tips that I have no...

    Guess it's about time...

    Painted my bike. Some people would call it a waste but considering a stock new fairing is 400-600 dollars, spending the same on making him mine is worth every dime. Also, the experience was neat. I fucked up a lot but was determined not to rattle-can it. I want to put another few coats of clear...
