    M4F Moto clothing for curvy women

    Asking for a friend. Any recommendations for jacket and pants that fit curvy women? So far, I've found that Olympia has Plus sizes ( i will refrain from commenting on how much I hate the ideals projected on women and their shape ), and Firstgear seem to be cut wider. Thanks, /Soren

    Ducati Skyhook Sachs Shock help

    I have a '13 Multistrada with the Skyhook suspension, and I have rebuilt the front forks; it was easy to get a rebuild kit for those, and despite the electronics, it was an easy rebuild. But I am failing to find a rebuild kit for the rear shock, not any information on how to rebuild them. I...

    Tone-deaf MV Augusta - NSFW

    I was surprised how out if touch the Superveloce advertisement is, given that the fastest growing demographic for new motorcycles is women. https://youtu.be/NupSCx4pnN8 /Soren Moderator Edit. NSFW material must be LINKED.

    Heart wrenching Ad

    Since I've spent more on lawyers than I have ever made, here are a couple of disclaimers: I have no connection to the ad. I am particular to Teutonic twins, and I am a big bag of feelings. I was browsing Craigslist, and came over the following ad, which made me think about how much passion and...

    Ducati Engine Rebuild Questions

    I would like to draw on the collective brain trust of BARF. I have a 2013 Multistrada 1200S GT with ~85k miles on it, and I expect that at some point the engine will need a refresh. I assume at some point to pull the engine and take cylinders and heads up to Performance Engine in Petaluma, but...

    Tires - Angel GT II

    I have put 2k miles on my Angel GT II's and I am very impressed, with one side note. Note that I ride heavier bikes, Beemers and in this case a Multistrada GT. The Angle GT IIs have better turn in than the Metzeler P01, which were my favorite tires until now, and they are very good in rain and...

    Lightning Strike e-bike

    https://electrek.co/2019/01/17/lightning-electric-motorcycle-strike/ Not much info and no pictures yet, but 150mph, 150mi range, and 35 minute charge time. I can only assume that it requires a supercharger 230V+ and that 35 minutes is charging from 20% to 85%. /Soren

    BMW New Retro R18 Engine

    Looks like BMW Motorrad is taking a leaf from Indians playbook and going full retro on a new version of their oilhead. Not a lot of information yet - and yes, I'm suffering from an irrational love for boxer beemers. /Soren Motorcycle News Article returnofthecaferacers zon-concept-r18

    Total BARF Miles?

    I'm constantly amazed by the collective knowledge on BARF, much of it from experienced riders :afm199 And I know some of the younger people here have ridden more miles than most people would drive in a lifetime, so I can't help but wonder: How many miles have the members of BARF ridden...

    CA Winter Gear

    California winter i.e. a dash of rain, had me renew my winter gear, and I can (for now, not knowing how long it will last) say that my D-dry jacket and pants, and Sidi Black Rain boots are all water proof and very nice in this weather. /Soren
