    BMW R1200GS Adventure Question

    I only use regular in my BMW during the winter, It knocks like hell if you try to use it in warm weather. As for German over engineering I beg to differ. They are using WWII technology, just a lot of BULL SHIT marketing. Bob

    My solution to cabin fever, the elephant ride

    I couldn't tell what the temp was at night but I had to scrape the inside of the trucks windows from ice. The bottled water on the dash froze. At about 9:00 am, another camper told my son and I it was -1. I have never had a problem with winter camping, next year I am bringing a tent though. My...

    My solution to cabin fever, the elephant ride

    I like many, have been stuck in the house because of snow, and cold. So what is my solution. Camp out on Guanella Pass tonight, in freezing weather and then attempt to cross this high mountain pass to George Town, about 24 miles to get lunch and ride back. I can feel my sanity returning, or...

    An Additional Hobby Started

    I just test fired my DPMS LR 's new fluted barrel, with muzzle brake. What a sweet shooting gun this is. I have a M1A that I really like but this new SASS is so much easier to maintain. No grease on the face when you fire it. A friend just offered to sell me his Garand (not sure if this is his...

    Rain Riding

    I came up with this Idea on my ride up in BC during one of the cold downpours. I took my shield off the helmet, and stretched some electrical tape over the top outside of the shield. I only covered about 1/4"- of the plastic face shield. The tape laid inward. Then I carefully put the tape on...

    Code One Cockpit Issue

    369.9 was decommissioned shortly after the SR71 was. At the time I was told it was it's dedicated frequency. Never saw one fly though. Last I read was that NASA was using them to test the external combustion theory. We did have a U-2 stationed where I lived in the late 80's and that was fun...

    FJR vs Cruiser

    Is there any stats that show the single bike accidents, doesn't have to be death, between sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, and Enduro style bikes? I have read the Hurt study and heard there was another being done, but know of no other. Every year we have many MC accidents on the roads...

    FJR vs Cruiser

    I have both. But my cruiser isn't a Harley, or Japanese, it's a Beemer. All are right when it comes to handling, and power. But I disagree to the comments on comfort, and safety. Also both my bikes weigh about the same. I have really bad knees and the arthritis in them and my shoulders only...

    8 News reports UFOs

    I had a good laugh last night watching the idiots on the news. Grand Junction Breaking news! The reporter said they have a video off strange lights in the sky around us. UFO's were videoed to the south and it appeared 3 flying craft were following each other in a tight formation. (Yea about...

    Alaska possible on FJR?

    What ever way you go you will have fun just taking it all in. As said by others before get the "Mile Post". Not all gas stations up North in Bc, Yukon, are open 24 hrs. Early June I hit snow on Teton Pass and a bunch of rain in Montana, and parts of BC. A good antifog shield is nice. I am...

    Alaska possible on FJR?

    If you take the ferry you will miss out on some beautiful Canadian riding. I loved the views and riding up the Alcan. I am planning to do it again in 09. This time I told the wife we will only do 500 mile days max. Probably the worst riding you will encounter will be in Nebraska. Bob

    Yup. Just put enduro tires on the FJR and you could go any where, at least once. :yahoo: Bob

    Alaska possible on FJR?

    No one has asked but everyone is assuming. Are you planning on going up the Haul Road, or even to Chicken? If so then I would think of a DL 650. I prefer a twin over a single, and the larger fuel tank is nice. If you are hitting the main towns, on the paved roads you would most likely enjoy...
