    Worst State for PoPo and tickets?

    It's not about "safety". Never has been. It's a revenue source, nothing less. Case in point, my last ticket (while passing thru California) was for the heinous crime of travelling at ~19 miles over the posted speed limit (84/65). In order to pull me over, the cop (coming from the opposite...

    Accelerator Module by Solid Solutions

    The slightly lower exchange rate this morning (favorable to U$) was all I needed to spring for one of these. (76 Euros / $102.50 shipped.) Should receive it in a week or so.

    Dead Zone - 3-3.5K RPM

    OK, hang on a minute here... Am I missing something? I know I'm a FNG to this bike and all, but really? Huh... I find myself around there most of the time, unless I'm passing (or speeding.) Like I said, this is a new bike for me, so maybe I'm babying it or something, but according to this...

    It's time for the NW Winter get together again!

    Yeah, earlier would work better for me, too. It's about 350 miles each way from here, so I won't be trying it in one day. Plan to spend the night then head home on Sunday after a good hearty brunch somewhere. (All this is assuming the pass [over Hwy 58] is clear, of course.)

    It's time for the NW Winter get together again!

    I'm gonna try to get there, too, assuming the mt. passes are clear. I need to get some miles on her... I did two short runs this month (Jan) - one down to Redding, Calif (just under 200 miles each way) to get my new Laam seat, then another quick run over to Myrtle Creek (~255 each way) for a...

    I have an odd issue with my center stand

    If you have $60 to spare, these would probably help: https://www.amazon.com/Venom-Motorcycle-Swingarm-Paddock-Kawasaki/dp/B0036QZ8VQ/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    10 Motorcycle Myths

    A CHP once told me many years ago (as he was writing me a speeding ticket): "There are two kinds of motorcycle riders; those that have been in an accident and those that are going to be." Not sure I agree (although I've had my share in 50+ years of riding.)

    Western FJR Riders Roundup

    Just booked a room for Wed. - Sun nights (7/9-7/14). Looks like there's plenty to explore in the area to justify an extra day or two, plus I need to get some miles on this bike - she just had her first (600 mile) service done 2 weeks ago and temps have dropped beow zero ever since then...
