Happy Thanksgiving all. As usual, we again broke from tradition and this year, instead of turkey, I smoked a nice big salmon fillet. I...

Love it! I too couldn’t resist a bit of extra throttle on my ‘05 as I crossed a railroad track which also was at the crown of a hill...

The 03 didn't really need a crown. She'd hoist her wheel and wave goodbye in 1st or 2nd (and could keep it up for a bit in 3rd). Geared...

I understand. The crown was needed for the JUMP. Mine clearly wasn't of the caliber of the others being reported as mine made a nice...

Also no significant updates beyond '16 unless you count building the bike fresh from the factory with transmissions that do not need the...

Pretty much my same reply from one of the other sandboxes: 2nd gear recall was on all model year FJRs from 16-20. So starting with...

Made me smile a lot when I read the news. Thanks to Paul for stepping up.

Congratulations to Paul Tong for being selected as Rally Master for the 2025 Iron Butt Rally. Here's wishing Paul and his crew of...

Late for work one morning not long after getting the '03, a light turned yellow. I nailed it. I was on a cross street and the main (4 or...

Caught the other instructor (BRC) watching over her shoulder from where she was instructing the 250cc riders. Made me respect what the...

Heck ya. Love those drills. I got the cages so I could leave the bags on and not worry so much about dropping it. Having the cages gave...

Did that the last time I took an MSF:ERC class. Had the FJR (bags off) doing the S-boxes they usually reserved for the BRC 250cc bikes.

Ditto. I came from 3 different models of Gold Wings. GL1100, GL1200, and GL1500. The FJR was a featherweight at about 300# lighter.

I guess everything is relative. The FJR is lighter than most of the other bikes I've owned. And while riding it doesn't feel heavy to...
