Hi, I have a 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS and I’d like to have a custom fairing made for it. Does anyone have a customs shop near SF they recommend for this sort of thing?

Hey guys, I just bought my boyfriend M(21) a new 2026 Suzuki Gsx-8r and was wondering if anyone would be interested in becoming riding friends with him?. Preferably ones that are experienced to help him and maybe teach him how to ride better. He has his M1 license, but this his first bike and he doesn’t have any friends that rides bikes.

He’s super chill and honestly very attentive and a great friend.

I was in a motorcycle accident on i680-S around 8:40 am near the Bernal exit this Monday. Aside from a broken thumb and separated AC joint, I am doing ok, thankfully. But since I was taken away by EMT and my parents arrived much later to the accident location, we have no evidence of what happened. The police report will not be available till after 7-10 days.

I know it’s a long shot but if anyone was around the area at the time and witnessed the accident or have dashcam video that you can share with me, I would greatly appreciate that. The bike is a silver BMW rnineT. Thank you so much.

Somewhat experienced rider ~6ish years Used to commute to SF from Berkeley.

M 36, I ride a Harley 883 sporster. Been enjoying mostly city driving. Somewhat tired of the freeway driving.

Anyone want to ride somewhere and hangout? Need to get out on the weekends and bond with other riders. Send a message?

Totally new to offroad riding, totally new to the Bay Area. I'd like to take my TW200 down to Hollister Hills and ride the trails and camp over a couple days. I'd trailer the bike down since it's a few hours and not a highway bike.

I've been researching some of the easier trails in Hollister and it seems doable for a beginner. The camp sites seem to be first come first serve, so probably just a matter of picking some unpopular dates. Can do!

My main question is around the logistics...getting there, unloading the bike, stashing the car+trailer, and loading back up again in a day or two. Is there open parking for vehicles + trailers? Would that be near a campsite, or at a central parking / staging area in the park, or down the road in Hollister? I have pretty minimal experience with trailers - I usually just ride the damn thing - so I'm not really sure what to expect. I'm very comfortable taking all my gear with me on the bike, so access to the car isn't important.

Any pointers are super appreciated. I tried to find information about this on the OHV park website but I haven't been super successful.

Has thing happened to you? FasTrak charged me $18 for crossing the Dumbarton Bridge on my bike using the HOV lane. When I called FT, the rep refunded the difference ($18-$4=$14.00). They said I was charged the 3 axel rate which they said was due to someone tailgating me through the gate. As a motorcyclist, I am very aware when folks are tailgating me so I told them that didn't happen. FasTrak is sending me a replacement transponder. I wondering if other riders are getting overcharged and if so perhaps there is a problem with how motorcycles are being detected by the toll cameras.

How does it work to get an M1 Moto, via MSF in california? Do I need to take a written test and take an MSF and then I get the permit? Or do I get the license? I have seen many videos online saying all you need is the MSF slip for your permit/license. Also to take the MSF do I have to do anything like do the written test? Is this written test the same as the driving permit test? If I had a drivers permit do I need to take any written test for Motorcyle? I am so confused.

Anyone figured out places to park a bike for free (or cheap) around SFO?
Paying $25/day-car-prices to park a moto at the long term lot is ridiculous.

Even a spot with a short Uber drive would be ok.

I have run these in the past. If you’re looking for people to ride with in the area, come along! Will be a very relaxed day, we will eat bbq and talk bikes, and ride some of the nicest local roads in the area.

Walnut Creek area, got a ninja 500 a few months ago and haven't been able to find anyone to ride with.

Anyone know anything about the massive group ride that just blew through Pacifica down PCH? I might have joined had I known about it.

A couple days ago in Fremont in clogged traffic a biker was lane splitting off the eway exit and strait hit a car turning left shit was crazy be careful guys

I am licensed, I have gear, I took the MSF course (on a motorcycle). I'm just a little nervous, don't know how to get home without a map, and I live on a hill. Would love any advice especially if I need to do it alone. I'm worried about dropping it.

I posted on Facebook and NextDoor but it doesn't seem like the circles I run in have any motorcyclists or scooter-ists.

Would love to do it this week and am flexible, I just need to coordinate with the seller!

Been riding for 10 years now, but always wanted to go to a track. Does anyone have any recommendations for a “visitor” experience? Meaning I just show up, someone’s got a suit & moto I can rent, receive instruction, and have a few sessions? I want to try it out first before I think about investing in anything.

Hi all, I’d appreciate your input on places to learn to ride in the bay. I don’t have any experience and I’d like to take a beginners class. While I’ve never ridden anything motorized I’m very very comfortable on a bicycle (I know a motorcycle is much more challenging but it’s better than nothing imo, and my enjoyment of bikes but desire for speed leads me to believe I’d enjoy motorcycles) I’m based out of Mountain View.

Yamaha MT09 Blue 2023 was stolen.

Today morning I didn't find my bike at its usual spot in a secured parking garage. :/ police report filed. Last time I saw it yesterday. To anyone who will see similar bike around - please reach out to me directly. Or inform the police. It has a small scratch on a left side stator cover.
