:newbie and to the madness & the addiction Menandro / BusaRydah ! Howdy & good to have you active among us on BARF, finally !! Been riding 14 years, eh ? LOL I don't have ESP but saw your other post ! :teeth The fun and passion must have set in long ago... AND got you hooked HARD, no ? What are your favorite local twisties ?
Check out :Group Rides >>> MGR (mellow group ride) <<< no :bs :ride's and Social Gatherings to meet lotsa CHILL peeps on BARF. :cool
Speaking of Social Gatherings... mark your calendar for this year two biggest events, i.e., Barf Bash 2014 -- August 24 Sunday -- J&M Motorsports in Mtn Vw -- 11am - 5pm PLEASE NOTE a location change : J&M Motorsports in Mtn Vw AND 2014 BARF RydTher Rally to ... Enrohtwah (Hawthorne) !!! :teeth
So mark your calendar for the weekend of Sept 12 -14 for this big social BARF event !!!! << One of this year biggest local event to meet BARFers, old and new and put a face to those usernames !!
Twisties around the B.A. ? There's Alice (84 & 35), one big bikers' landmark and Hwy 9 & 1, 84, 35 ! Lots more other twisties : Mt Ham(ilton) Rd, Mt. Tam(alpais) Rd, Beryessa, RWR (Red Wood Road), and "The Wall" << another Riders' landmark above Berkeley & Oakland Hills with great view of the Bay, looking West? ... and the list goes on....
There are quite a few BARFers in the South Bay, me included : I am in South SJ, so you will be able to hook up with us for a small few BARFers or an MGR (above mentioned) .... SOON !! Hit me up if you wanna ride !
Post up a pic of your busa cuz you KNOW that peeps WILL ask, right?
Don't know how familiar you already are with the forum layout, various sub-forums but... here's a "road map" for yer tank bag that ( the same welcoming schpiel I give to ALL ) :
Check out the Vintage Cafe sub forum ! I betcha you'll love it ! If you wrench or wanna learn to wrench, Moto Shop (used to be in South City -- I talked to Wilder and met Aleks there) is a great place for you to hang out. They are a BARF sponsor and they just moved to Potrero Hill in the City. You can bring your bike there to work on with their tools, etc.
Also check out : 1Rider, Training, Garage, Trackdays, Trackdays for sale, Parts for Sale, Parts Wanted, ... and the stickies on top of this sub-thread 'Newbies' as well >> will save ya lots of time and energy and make sure you start / continue riding ATGATT ! At times, free gear could be had under Riding Gear , else they are very reasonably priced!!! >>> jacket, riding pants, gloves, boots, lids, 1pc, 2pc .... <<< You can start collecting or continue to amass more .... gear !!!! :laughing
As to gear, take advantage of all the moto gear shops in SF and all over the BA to go in to try on for size and comfort (jackets, riding pants & lids). To name a few : the D-store (Dainese store) & Scuderia West in the city; CG (Cycle Gear) all over the BA; Road Rider in SJ and Santa Clara Cycle in Sunnyvale. Nobody minds if you walk around the store with a lid on to get a feel for comfort and fit. Ask lots of questions to the staff about gear. :afm199 <<< LOL I just added this paragraph to this greeting. :cool
I like General ( Anything and everything to do with motorcycles. ) >>> good stuffs and Kitchen Sink ( If you're not sure where to post, post here ) >>> entertaining stuffs :teeth
If and when you are in the market to get a ride, you might benefit from a fellow BARFer's bike : Moto for Sale. CL (Craig List) has lots of bikes for sale, just be careful of scams on there : NEVER pay with a money order and it would be good to check out your bike with someone in the know, a BARFer or a friend !
Read up some posts, be active, join a ride, even create your own ride (with time and route) and post it up in Group Rides. :afm199
IMPORTANT: If you need help on the road >>> post in 'General' and BARF Roadside Angels will come to your rescue !! RT Russ was referring to this as Connie is our BARF Roadside Angel Leader.
