Venus over the sun!

samatye — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:31:19 GMT

Venus will be eclipsing the sun for about 5 hours, in a synchronized orbital on June 5th, from 3:06pm to sundown.

To see it, you can project the image via a pinhole, onto a screen or use a welder's mask to look directly.

I figured you guys might have a welder's mask, and maybe I could borrow one... Anyone wanna give theirs up for a couple days after the rally?

Kinda geeky, I know. :-P

Wanted/Need ~Heli Bar(s)

Mel — Thu, 10 May 2012 20:52:17 GMT

Anyone know where I can get a heli bar for cheap. Retail is around $279 for the set, but I only need the RH bar for my '99 VTR 1K.
I've looked on eBay, bike bandit and general google search. Cycle Gear no longer deals with Heli direct, pretty sure they sell direct to the public but I'm trying avoid full retail and having to buy a set,... cos I'm broke!!
Suggestions of where to look would be very apriciated!!

dinner tomorrow night? 5-10

moto4fun — Thu, 10 May 2012 01:48:19 GMT

Anyone want to grab a bite to eat tomorrow night? I will be working in the mountains North of Santa Cruz and then in Fremont on Friday. I havent decided where I will be staying yet, so the dinner location doesn't much matter to me. Let me know. Text or emai is best, but I will check the thread.

'01 DRZ being parted out

Justin's cousin Jim is parting out a plated 01 DRZ 400.
Motor just got sold.
Wheels and Forks are spoken for

Everything else is being going over. I was thinking about grabbing the radiators and controls. Carbs are the CR stock on the '01 series, not the restricted CA abominations. Ping me for details

Abandoned Highway Run

Cool vid. Looks like it's been abandoned for a few years

Man sues BMW and Corbin for giving him a 2 year erection.

seric — Wed, 02 May 2012 02:02:22 GMT

http://blog.sfgate.com/stew/2012/04/...year-erection/

Viagra and Cialis apparently have nothing on a BMW motorcycle seat. According to a lawsuit filed last week in San Francisco Superior Court, the seat left its driver with a two-year erection.

Henry Wolf filed suit against BMW North America and Corbin-Pacific, Inc. He claimed in the lawsuit that the “ridged seat” of his 1993 BMW motorcycle caused him mental and emotional anguish after it left him with a severe case of priapism, aka a long-lasting erection.

Wolf said he rode the motorcycle in San Francisco on a four-hour round trip on May 1, 2010 and developed the priapism soon after.

Wolf “has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride,” his attorney, Vernon Bradley of Sausalito wrote in the lawsuit. “He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish.”

The motorcycle seat was manufactured by Corbin-Pacific, Inc., the suit said. Wolf suffered wage loss, hospital expenses, general damage and emotional distress from his condition, and he is seeking an unstated amount of compensation, the suit said.

I'm tempted to see if I can use one of the large format printers at MBARI to make a giant one.

Priceless...

Rotten — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:04:51 GMT

Used '95 Ducati 900 SS. $3000.
Protective motorcycle gear. $2200.
Motor oil. $20.

Trying not to shit your pants after loosing the rear end in a hard right corner after $20 worth of motor oil ended up all over the rear tire...

Fucking PRICELESS!!

On the plus side, my right boot is now completely waterproof. On the down side, the pathetic rear brake is now totally useless and my dry clutch is now a wet clutch.

Personally I blame the fucking cat. He *says* he's out "fighting crime" all night but I think he's really out there loosening peoples oil drain plugs, putting pin holes in brake lines, toilet papering the trees at the local junior high and writing my cell number above the glory hole in the wall of "cruisey" public mens rooms.

God Damn punk!

P.S. I have now lowered the selling price of my Ducati from $3000 to $2980. Thanks for looking...
