    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    I went skiing today...the Hell with the rodent in Punsuxtauney! The high was 10 degrees,and conditions varied between sun and snow. If your weather is warm and dry, go ride. If you have snow and cold, go ski. WTF are you dong arguing about it on a forum?

    RAM ball on dash?

    That link by Mihalis is pretty slick. Another option is the RamBone mount that fits on the fuel tank bolts and holds the GPS just below the instrument cluster.

    Valve check... Should I leave well enough alone or dig in

    I have a technical question. When checking clearance for the valves, is it cheating to slightly adjust TOC for intake and exhaust valves? I find I have clearance, but only if I nudge the crankshaft a bit.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Bought a new Shoei Neotec helmet and got $110 off on close out ($550). I have wanted this helmet for a long time and never saw an affordable price. Nothing fancy in Black, but it fits well. Installed the Sena 20.Now I can finally talk at gas stops.

    Valve check... Should I leave well enough alone or dig in

    Best accessory ever! I have had a CCT bolt in my frame for years. Think of it like a Gremlin Bell for the FJR.

    Whoa! Sunny and 47. I might have to open the pool.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Warm weather meant a ride. Nothing special, but enough to get back into riding and to fill up the tank. I didn't winterize the bike, so changed the oil that was overdue, and parked it for the next cold-shot.

    Winterizing

    Weather hit about 60 today. Went for a short ride and filled the gas tank...winterized.

    Groundhog day is coming. Will you be in Punxsutawney?

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    While a daily streak is amazing, a weeks or months ridden is more than respectable. Even if your daily streak was broken last year, I suspect your weekly or monthly streak exceeds almost anyone here.

    Too bad the new tag isn't something frozen!

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Keep the streak alive Chuck! These bikes can run on a car battery, based on how we rigged Madmike2 when his stator failed in Death Valley. I have tucked the bike away in a corner of the garage so both cars fit, and I'm fondling the new Sena in anticipation of warmer days.

    Phantom Blue Matte Paint encounter

    Great looking bike, and better with the improvements (removals). I'm most thankful that Warchild has finally and authoritatively settled the argument that 2016+ is the undisputed Gen IV bike, even with matt paint. Great pics and updates of some of the finer details. I wish I was joining the...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    If you're not in a rush, get the YUASA, add the acid, put it on a low-amp absorption charge, and you will have the best battery possible.

    Snow in the Sierra Passes

    That's a favorite. Old Michael returning from a hard day of skiing at Kirkwood...Classic.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    I could use an Ohio Ruben! RTE?

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    I broke in the electric smoker on an 18 lb turkey. Worked great and timed perfectly. I followed the whole turkey recipe from Meatheads, but wet-brined instead of dry, then used a Simon and Garfunkel rub (sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano). I started the cook at 225, to a temperature of 150, then...
