I just took a 2-day trip up to Arcata (low Covid rates in NorCal and 'surplus' of ICU beds meant it was a better option than SoCal). Took 101 to 128, then up through Fort Bragg, Leggett, Avenue of the Giants and so on. Coming back I was planning to take SR-36 over to Red Bluff (which I've never...

[UPDATE 11/9/2020: HWY 4 (EBBETTS PASS), HWY 108 (SONORA PASS), HWY 89 (MONITOR PASS) AND SR 120 (YOSEMITE) ARE NOW CLOSED. HWY 88 HAS CHAIN CONTROL] Just rode from SF to North Lake Tahoe on Friday (SF to Sac, 16 to Plymouth, Fiddletown Road and then Shake Ridge Road to Hwy 88, and then to SLT...

An interesting question for y'all. I currently have 3 bikes. On the newest bike, I have liability insurance and some other coverage. On the older two bikes, I just have liability, since they're not worth much. Since my liability coverage exists to pay for damage/injuries I cause to other...

I recently got hold of a 2001 Triumph Sprint ST, in order to get some bits and pieces for my 2000 ST. I actually used to own the bike, but I sold it to a friend, and it was then sold to someone else, before I bought it back for scrap value... Although it runs fine, it now has a junked title, so...

I've been riding for about 15 years (I'm fast approaching 50, so I started pretty late). I've had multiple bikes - cruisers, dual-sports, sport-tourers and now my main bike is an 'adventure bike' (Kawasaki Versys 1000 LT). I like doing long, multi-day solo rides out to the middle of nowhere, but...

So a close friend of mine who lives in Oregon contacted me about a friend of his who is selling a bike. I absolutely trust my friend and his judgement when it comes to his friends, so I'm gonna assume no ill-will on the seller's part. After getting my friend to check out the bike and test-ride...

A friend came down from Oregon over the MLK weekend to ride with me, and he forgot his helmet, so he bought one here from Cycle Gear - an AGV K3 SV. Sadly, he got a medium, when he should have gotten a large, but by the time he realized, he'd peeled the visor stickers off, so he just decided to...

Hey all, I have a pair of heated gloves (powered off the bike, not battery-operated), and I'm trying to find out if there's a solution to the problem of cable management. Basically, I'm running a single cable from the power outlet under the seat (via a quick-release connector) into the pocket...

SOLD - Nelson-Rigg sport-touring luggage SOLD FOR SALE - Nelson-Rigg soft saddlebags & tail bag. I'm selling a set of Nelson-Rigg sport-touring luggage. It's from 2007, but is basically as-new (they came with a used bike I recently bought, so I have no idea of their provenance). Still have...

Hey folks, Has anyone had any GOOD experiences with the cheap Chinese aftermarket brake/clutch levers you find on EBay? I'm trying to find OEM replacements for my 2000 Triumph Sprint ST, and they're hard to find and hella expensive. Or maybe I could get some high-end aftermarket ones (ASV or...

Hey all, This has almost certainly been answered, but searching these forums doesn't give me an answer... I just bought a used bike. Everything good - it's a 2000 Triumph Sprint ST, currently registered in CA. I have the title (signed by the seller and myself), and all that good stuff. I went...

I'm selling my Shad SH45 45-liter topcase. I've had it for about 18 months. No problems with it, but I've just upgraded to the color-matching fancy case for my bike, so I no longer need it. A little scratched here and there, but that's it - no serious 'damage'. Comes complete with Shad...

Hey folks, A fellow-BARFer and I are headed to Las Vegas at the end of April (ZZ Top :afm199:afm199:afm199 at the Venetian FTW!) and rather than fly, we thought "Why not bike?" :) Thinking of a 2-day trip there (5-6 hours per day): Day 1: 80 to Sac, then 50 to Meyers (South Lake Tahoe), then...

Barely-used AGV Sport Leather Willow pants, size 34. From RevZilla (https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/agv-sport-willow-perforated-leather-pants): The AGV Sport Willow are a premium sport bike pant, constructed from 1.2mm to 1.4mm thick cowhide leather with perforated panels for cooling...

I'm selling a nearly-new Corbin Canyon Dual Sport seat. I bought it in 2015 for my Triumph Sprint ST, but it's literally only been ridden about 10 times - it just didn't fit the shape of my butt, so I kept using the Triumph OEM seat. So you'll get the chance to break it in :) I chose the plain...

Has this happened to anyone else? I was riding through Stockton on Saturday (middle of the day), on my way back from a 1000+ mile ride through Yosemite and Nevada. All of a sudden, I see a red flash from a pickup truck coming the other direction, and SMACK - a half-empty Coke can hits my...

I'm planning a trip from SF through Yosemite into Nevada and back. Probably 4 days total. I've done several multi-day trips in the past, staying either in a tent or in cheap motels as I find them... Just need to get away from the wife and kid for a few days :) Anyone got any advice about a)...

I'm looking to buy a recent model (2015 or later) Versys 1000LT or similar upright/adventure bike - possibly an FJ-09 or a DL1000. Side cases are a big plus, top case is a must. Don't care too much about fancy speed-related add-ons, but heated grips are essential. ABS - meh. FWIW, I'm almost...

I've just sold one of my bikes (Ducati ST4s), and I'm looking for a replacement - ideally something more 'upright', to alleviate my back problems. Originally, I was looking at some BMW's (R12000GS, F800R), but then got sidetracked into looking at a Versys 1000 LT. I got the chance to sit on one...

SOLD to @Bowling4Bikes! Summer's coming, and that means you need to get out and ride the back roads! And what could be better to do that on, than a Ducati... Specifically, this gorgeous-looking 2002 Ducati ST4(S). Containing the Desmoquattro engine based on the Ducati 996 (but actually making...
