    Check out my new Hotrod!!

    15-41, 1350 rpms top, what are you thinking the top speed will be? Did you change out the cam to a YZ cam? I have clocked my wr426f to around 104 with my fat ass on it in the dirt. Geared pretty much stock, YZ timed, stock YZ pipes, Dirt tires. You can now do parking lot triples off the front...

    Tiered License for Motor Cycles

    All this training comes out of whose pocket? The best driver out of all my kids was the one who received his learners permit at the age of 14. He then got his license at 16. The mentor was me, his father. The other two boys only had their permits for 5 months and then received their license...

    Tiered License for Motor Cycles

    I don't believe the Government should be involved in any way in the determination of what we buy. The next thing to happen is motorcycle company lobbyist will start paying politicians to push thier slow selling crap. I could care less if the neighbor goes out and buys a rocket bike. If he...

    Militaries, civilian MWR lodging?

    I forgot about the camping. Does the civilian MWR privileges extend to the off base recreational sites also? I will be getting the $4.00 construction vest, no problem taking it on and off. All good info. Thanks again.

    Hard to decide: FJR vs BMW K1200GT

    I went with the 06 FJR because I currently own a 04 BMW. The problem I have with BMWs are the quality of the material they use. I had a long conversation with the BMW parts manager. This guy is good and doesn't push BMW crap on anyone. He told me that Autozone radiator hoses will work better...

    RiverRoad

    All bets are off on the road conditions now. It snowed here also but just melted on the ground. I could see the snow sticking to the cliffs of the Mesa. Gunnison is a great location for anything out doors, all year long. Need a few different toys, and your good to go. I love the snow, but the...

    Militaries, civilian MWR lodging?

    I am not familiar with the regulation. Does the color matter, Orange or yellow? Does the passenger need one also?

    FAA Academy in OKC

    I knew someone in tech-support who wore his kilt to work. I really hated windy days, and I did all the ladder work. Imagine someone like that riding a motorcycle around.

    Why do so many people post in the wrong section?

    I would need eyes like the late Marty Feldman or Jack Elam, to navigate this site and not have a problem.

    FAA Academy in OKC

    Militaries, civilian MWR lodging?

    After camping, a shower and a cot is fine. I have not had any problem using the facilities before, just never as a civilian. I'll get the booklet whenI I'm near Luke. Thanks for the info.

    tire compound

    I am trying to find a happy medium between tire wear, road conditions and handling. In different parts of the country road crews use the materials available to surface roads. Here the DOT uses a chip seal process with a crushed granite type of rock. This makes the road extremely abrasive to...

    2008 FJR1300 - Dear Yamaha, this is what we want.

    With as many people riding these days. I would look at creating the most safe and dependable motorcycle line out there. With the best warranty on the market. Then have the factory reps, stand behind it 200% and never blame the customer on trumped up accusations. I like the idea of different...
