    This you in SF Chronicle?

    I saw this (terrible) article about how great it is to take the bus to work from East Bay. Wouldn't recommend wasting your time reading it.

    Motorcycle Camping Trip up CA-1 this Week

    I had the week off, so decided to take a couple days and go up the CA-1 N. Despite having lived in the bay area all my life, I've never drive north on the one past Point Reyes. It didn't disappoint. Weather was gorgeous and roads were perfect. I met lots of other bikers on the road. All good...

    Hi!

    Hello BARF! I'm about a year into riding, live in Alameda, and ride a 2004 Ninja 250. I'm looking for a slightly bigger bike (600 range) to get into sport bikes. Looks like this is a great place to learn and and questions!
