    NAFO 2021

    I don't really care what people think, I'm just getting to the point where being all cramped up for a long time is less enjoyable.  I can stretch out on the Africa Twin WAY more than on the FJR, hence the mini bike comment, lol.  I suppose I could also show up on the AT...

    NAFO 2021

    I just had to be curious and see if there were any more plans for a NAFO. :fool:   I bought an Africa Twin this spring and after riding on that thing (which fits me well being 6'-7") I feel like I'm riding a mini bike when I get back on the FJR.  I stripped the accessories off this weekend to...

    EOM 2019 Discussion

    I don't think I've even gotten on the forum since I posted I couldn't make it to EOM 2018 until last night. Life's been crazy.

    EOM 2019 Discussion

    I'm not able to read though the whole thread right now. Would someone be kind enough to point me to a post that states what the plan is for EOM this year? I don't see it at the beginning or end, so I'm guessing it's buried in the 80+ posts somewhere.

    CFO 2019 - Dates and place announcement

    My wife and I are expecting #3 next month, so I'll have to see if I have any vacation time left after that. Perhaps I can make a solo appearance this year.

    2016 for sale in WI

    Probably because in this part of the country pretty much all of the regular grade gas is 10% ethanol, whereas many gas stations have premium w/o.

    Cat's out of the bag... we need the background story to fully appreciate this jab.

    A new chapter

    I'm confused, so you're retiring but not retiring???

    Trailer Build - hopefully in improvement to my current one

    Nice. I would recommend doubling the weight in the cooler and tire rack and give it a hard shake down for as many miles as you can. Even with 1/8 wall tubing, that's a lot of leverage and you could see cracks develop at the welded joints over time; would suck to stop for gas and find your...

    Dedicated GPS vs Cell Phone

    I have used my Samsung S4 Active I use on the bike. I just use Google Maps. I need to figure out downloading map sections but when I went out to NAFO in '16 I created a custom route in my maps on the cumputer, saved it in my Google account and opened it up on the phone and it worked like a...

    Roadsmart 3 rebate

    I hate when companies feel they have to abuse boobs to sell their tires. That price should be good enough.

    left side idle tick

    I can try to get a sound clip when I get time to play with it. First valve check is 26.6K so it has not been done yet, but usually you need wide valve gaps for ticks.

    left side idle tick

    I'm trying to look around but all I'm finding are "ticker" and CCT threads. I've noticed a tick on the LEFT side of my engine this spring that either wasn't there before or I haven't noticed (I think the former). It's worst when the bike is cold, but I let it sit for about five minutes...

    Timerbsled CR500 DAYUUUUUUM!

    I had one of the AD Boivin Explorer conversion kits on my old WR400F. I actually had the first one imported into the US. It was a fun kit, but after the shoddy engineering broke the brake caliper mounts on two sets of forks I ditched it. I would love to try out one of the timber sled kits or...
