Budman, or anyone else. Can you tell us how Barf ended up with the green two finger smiley face as a logo? Also have you ever thought about any other branding? I love BARF, but just can not bring myself to wear or fly anything with that logo. I've bought it, just not used it.

So what happens when you are knocked down and seriously hurt while riding your moto without any fault yourself? Like when someone just changes lanes into you and sends you flying and you are seriously injured. Assuming you are injured by someone with assets, owns a home etc, does your attorney...

I stopped and picked up a right side mirror for what appears to be a R1150RT, off the side of 101N in Petaluma. It is scratched up and the edge of the mirror is broken, but it will get you through while you find that perfect one on Ebay. Pickup in Rohnert Park. PM me if it is yours.

This is a PSA. A month ago I started to service the suspension on my 2002 XR400 in preparation for the Sheetiron. This was the first time it had been apart. I pulled the subframe and removed the shock and linkage and attempted to remove the swingarm pivot bolt to replace the swingarm bearings...

A friend was cycling up Highway 130 from the San Jose area on 5/1 at about 9:15 AM and came across this screen. As she understands it the bicyclist was coming down and a group of motorcyclists were going up when they collided. There was a group of people stopped attending to the cyclist and he...

Hey Barfers, I pulled the forks off of my XR400 and just found that the damper holder tool that I just purchased is wrong. Does anyone have the correct tool, that I can borrow or buy? It is Motion Pro # 08-0223 and it is used on the XR250, XR400, XR650R and the DRZ. I live in Rohnert Park and...

Years ago while sitting on Angel Island for a picnic, a friend gave me the following brain teaser. I just found it again, written on white paper from my deli sandwich from that day. The info I'll give you will allow you to solve the puzzle. Don't cheat by looking on the net, as the internet was...

Hello Barfers, I'm looking to buy a straight OEM or OEM style front rim for my 2002 XR400, or a super deal on a front wheel.

Mods, if this is uncool for posting here, please just delete it. I have a 1991 Seaswirl 208 Spyder for sale. It has a 5.8 liter V8 and a newer upper and lower outdrive. It comes with 3 props, a bunch of life jackets and ropes etc. Those are the good things. The bad is that the trailer is rusty...

I received an e-mail today from Ironman Dual Sport, stating that they have been operating in the red for 7 years and will cease operations immediately. I've never been on one of their rides but have always wanted to. I know Don Ivans has struggled for years as well. I used to ride with Don...
