--sighting at 8:45 AM on Lake Cook Road in Deerfield headed west. Dark Silver FJR - thanks for braving the cold morning rides to get the cages used to seeing bikes out again despite this springs -15 degree below normal days.

Hey fellow FJR riders, once again the High Road Riders of Barrington IL are hosting a bike blessing. All makes, models welcome of course. Each year there is 150 - 300 bikes and a great ride which ends at Woodstock Harely for free food, prizes, and music. Details are below. PM me if you have...

Update: Road Captain says that 143 people have signed up for this great ride. The breakfast stop restaurant is providing private room to hold everyone and offering all you can eat buffet for $10.00 Amazing what a little good weather forecast can do!

One of my riding groups, the High Road Riders, is having their first group ride of the year and have nicknamed it the river rat run. This group is open for all riders to come on rides but for this particular ride they ask for an RSVP since there are restaurant stops involved. Please RSVP to...

If you must know.....I have a givi top case that mounts to a rack that uses the stock seat handle and rack below it. Took the givi off and mounting rack but didn't put the screws back in seat handle/rack. Ran to gas station to fill up and went to pull up on tne bike using the seat handle to...

All taken care of.....Thanks to those that stepped up with spares! I'm looking to replace the seat handle for my 08 FJR1300. Color Black Metallic. Mine cracked. Anyone got a bike they are parting out? Please send PM and pictures if available. Thanks!

Silver FJR with extra lights on the front seen riding in the rain on 80/94 through Indiana on Saturday April 3rd. Hope you got home soon that rain lasted all day for my drive.

Hey Everyone. I put this one out there every year and this year is no exception. This spring has been great riding weather so hopefully this will be another great bike blessing. Please join us for the annual high road riders bike blessing at Willow Creek Church in South Barrington, IL located...

Will be there Saturday morning a little after 10. Not too many new models I'm excited about but always nice to see lots of clean bikes to get excited about the return of the riding season.

I have an 08 and it often does the clunk when starting cold. I did the Barbarian Mod just 2 months ago and increased all cylinders by 7 as recommended. Still clunks, but not going to worry about it. Bike has 6000 miles. Good luck in figuring this whole thing out but it doesn't sound like it...

Dave thanks for posting the pics of the event. It was a great time and a great turn out. I was glad to see a couple of bikes from the Chicago Group and hope next year we can see even more. You should have posted a pic of your Raven 08 too :) Ken

Bummer Murph, but looks like the weather is going to be great. If any of the other Chicago guys do make it, come by and let me know your there. I'm usually leading the 2nd group to the right of the Road Captain. So look for the 2008 Black FJR in the front row.

If anyone is interested in attending this early year ride, see details below. Last year was fun, but very cold (39 degrees). Hopefully this year the weather will be as blessed as the bikes. Good time, free food, music and prizes. If the weather is nice we expect over 300 riders. Last year...

I would say definately do it in a smaller group, but I just did my first SS1000 on Saturday (7/19). We rode Chicago to Indy to Louisville to Nashville to Mt Vernon back to Chicago. If any Midwest guys want the route, I'd be happy to send it to you if you have a garmin. We had 9 total guys the...

Sighted a blue leaving Pepsico in Barrington IL yesterday about 4:45. Hope you made it home safe as just 10 minutes earlier I was freaking out in my cage from the hail and downpour that was passing through. Rain - tolerable. Hail = dangerous.

This is the second year I'm organizing a little ride through the Willow Creek Church High Road Riders group up to Elkhart Lake, WI for the AMA races. I call the ride the under 40's ride because it was my attempt to get some younger guys in the high road riders group to get together for at least...

Just had my 08 come back from the 600 mile service. I called the mechanic afterwards, (he was gone when I picked up the bike) and asked, but he didn't know what the wires were either. He said they might be for powering aux stuff, but couldn't confirm. To my knowledge from searching this...

Thanks, that's what I had thought. Since I don't plan on ever getting heated grips, could I tie in my Zumo 550 power cord into those?

Okay, totally new guy question, but I noticed tonight in my new 08 that there are two wires that terminate, one in a blue connector and the other in a white connector just below the front storage box near the front left fork. They look like one should be plugged into the other, but they are...

Well, I tested out my new Cal Sci medium +2.5 today. I liked it quite a bit so far. I am 5'10'' or maybe slightly taller. I rode without the helmet to get a real feel for the wind difference over stock. I can say with the Cal Sci shield fully down there is less wind than the stock. Fully...
