    Eyjafjallajökull - A cool time lapse video

    The volcano in Iceland is of course still bubbling and gurgling its way along and we've all seen some cool photos (lightning in the ash clouds kind of stuff), but how about some cool video? I just saw this one today and had to share it here, enjoy (I hope). 11673745

    Baja Again: Another solo ride around northern Baja

    Roughly six months after my last visit to Baja (BARF photo thread, full ride report) it was time to head back. Unfortunately the planning of the trip went well, but the execution, notably first launch/departure, was botched up on my part. The end result of all that was that not only would the...

    It's official: Baja Bound Again!

    Hot damn tamale Ahab*, I'm excited today! I was quite confident things would fall into place but now just this week (late yesterday, final nod from a few other key players came in today) I'm confirmed good to go for a 2.5 week return to Baja in March! I'm still waiting to sort things out and...

    Gotta brag: new blingin' rims for the KTM!

    w00t! During my Baja trip I dinged up the notoriously soft from rim of my KTM 950, not enough to toss the rim out but enough to make me worry about another off-road adventure with it. So what's a guy to do but buy new rims! Thanks to the awesome folks at Woody's Wheel Works I now have a set of...

    Mainland Mexico? Tips? Advice? Ride reports?

    As some of you might know I'm already planning a return trip to Baja next spring and I'm going to make it a two week trip this time instead of one. The plan for now is to ride down to Cabo and back, but that's where the questions start... :) Plan 1: Ride to Cabo and back, all of that on the...

    Vimeo Embedding?

    Hey all, I know about YouTube video embedding here on BARF but I'm now wondering about Vimeo embedding. I use Vimeo for a number of reasons and it doesn't seem that you can embed Vimeo vids in posts here on BARF. My questions are: 1. Am I missing something, can you in fact embed Vimeo videos in...

    ¡Baja, te amo! - Pics from my ride to Mexico

    My first ride report was nuked in the recent hax0r on BARF so I'm posting it up once again. This past Saturday I returned home from a solo nine day, 2300 mile ride from here in San Francisco do to Baja California. It was an awesome trip and below you'll find the story of the trip in pictures...

    Great Italian Motorbike Display (no, not a Ducati thread)

    Just had this sent my way and don't recall seeing it here on BARF so I thought I'd share. It's from the 50's and it's a bunch of Italian moto cops putting on a show. kTYGmjgSMv8 Good times! :)

    Mounting My GPS on the Dash

    At long last I finally got off my ass today and had some fun upgrading my GPS set-up. I use a Garmin 276c GPS and have always had it in a Touratech bracket mounted to the top of my triple clamp. While that's worked well enough it kind of sucked as my tank bag couldn't expand up without blocking...

    Me and Baja 1000 Pre-Runners - how to avoid problems

    So I'm off to Baja for an eight day ride in November and during that time my planned ride route will overlap with the Baja 1000 race course a few times, all during the time when racers will be out pre-running. Naturally it would be cool to watch some of those cats do their thing, but I really...

    The Shasta, The Shame, The Pain - my overdue ride report

    I'm finally getting around to writing this ride report two weeks after the actual ride as it's time to actually share the story. No, I'm no Boney or WoodsChick, this isn't about some trek into the boonies with lions and tigers and bears oh my, it's a story about what was supposed to be a nice...

    Car battery issues - help/advice/info needed

    I'm not sure where else to post this, so as directed I'm posting it here! :) My GF has a 2001 Toyota Corolla, it's always been a champ of a car. For her birthday in February I bought her an in-car GPS at Best Buy in SF and had them wire it to run off the battery. A month or two later her car...

    Riding the Southwest

    Riding the Southwest With Dad I've been in lurk mode here on BARF as of late, but now I'm back to share some pics from a recent ride I took, most of it spent with my Dad. I spent eleven days on the road, riding through four states and numerous state and national parks all while covering just...

    Wolfman Magnetic Tank Bag - Free!

    Wolfman Magnetic Tank Bag - (GONE!) I'm cleaning house and have a magnetic tank bag from Wolfman, it's in decent shape in general but there is a hole in one of the side pockets (see the second pic). I used this for a while on my trusty Hawk but haven't used it for a few years so it's time to...

    Joe Rocket Jacket - Free!

    Joe Rocket Jacket - (gone!) Sorry folks, this jacket has been claimed! :) I have a Joe Rocket jacket that's a few years old but it's still in great shape (I've not worn it regularly for well over a year now). Given that I'm more interested in seeing it go to decent use than I am what money I'd...

    Christmas came early (sort of)

    I'm bursting with glee as I found a bit of a Christmas present for myself. Living in SF with motorcycles means I need garage space and for a while now I've had an apartment in Alamo Square/NOPA and a garage in the Richmond. Today I signed a new lease for a HUUUUGE garage (450 sq. ft.) around the...
