    Here I Go Again...

    Wow tempest, we have a lot in common. I was in Denver from '92 till 2002 when the bottom fell out (and I'd been out of work for 18 months). I had to move to Massachusetts and go back to work at Raytheon. Have wanted to go back ever sense but it's not in the cards. I'm an engineer as well...

    SE Ohio sighting (New Matamoras)

    Sorry I missed you - and sorry I misinterpreted The Wing. I didn't hear your beep with my music on. 380 miles is a fine ride. I only did around 270 butt was glad to miss the downpour. Let's hope tomorrow is even better. Have a great ride back. Mark

    SE Ohio sighting (New Matamoras)

    I was the blue '12 pulled over on Main St. (OH-260 & OH-7). I saw two FJRs (at least one Gen III - I barely saw the first rider) and a Harley (Andy?). I'd have turned back and followed you but I was bingo fuel to Marietta and ready to park it and have a beer. In hind sight I'm glad - we got...

    SIN_R (Southern Indiana Ramble, SIR) May 18-21, 2017

    As the Twilight Zone episode goes: "Room for one more, honey?" I can't stand this place anymore and need to get away. See you all at the Travelodge.

    Front vs Rear Tire Wear

    I burn the fronts faster, at least I did for my first 130K on FJRs. Oddly, I just changed out the Metzelers that I bought on Spud's special deal and the rear was worse off than the front. I have no explanation.

    Utah Valley Living

    I did about six years in SLC (06-12). It's beautiful country but I wouldn't go back if you put a gun to my head. It's like being a Yankee fan at Fenway.

    1973 Honda CB350four for sale

    My first ride. Southern California in the early 80's. Gary - you're killing me.

    Miles To Go

    Mr. Pants, We've not met nor corresponded but I already have a healthy dislike for you (jealousy is an evil thing!). I'm absolutely green with envy. What a magnificent ride report. You have a gift for words and storytelling. How wonderful to hear that Ms. Julie is still charming and that...

    Techmount Stem Mount for Garmin GPS

    Forgive me but doesn't a new replacement stem nut go for $40 plus shipping? I don't mean to be callous but I'm trying to upgrade my TechMount to accommodate the new 590 I just bought. Is this what you have or is the mounting "plate" included (and presumably not included in the link shown...

    Wanted: John Ryan fender sticker

    Damn Julie, you rock. I'd prefer 2 slightly over 3 but like them both. Sorry to hear about your ice skating adventure but as I told him - glad you weren't traveling at "Brandon Normal Speed." Mark

    Received - Zumo Car Mount, etc

    My 590 just arrived today and I'll be retiring my 8 (9?) year old 550 shortly. If it doesn't work out with 101stpathfinder send me a PM.

    I didn't fall down...

    Again, I'm glad you did so well against Bambi. As for USAA - I wish you good luck but don't expect them to cover your next bike. Unless Ohio is different, they've gotten out of the 2 wheeled business. Thank you again Wayne for EOM. It was a blast. Mark

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    Thanks so much Andy & Sooze! I had a wonderful time, ate like a King, met some wonderful folks, learned a few tricks AND was thoroughly humbled. I look forward to seeing you all again at EOM (and watching your tail lights fade away in the distance). Mark

    VERY Good Deal on Metzelers... $156.94 for a set.

    Rear arrived today. 39th week of 2014 from China. Credit card statement looks correct.

    VERY Good Deal on Metzelers... $156.94 for a set.

    My front arrived promptly (2-3 days?). Manufactured the 36th week of 2015 from China. I have a tracking number for the rear that I expect on Monday. Maybe not top shelf but after talking with an '05 owner today at Iron Pony who said he's paying $500 for Michelins front and back, I'm happy...

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    Hey Andy - thanks for the invite. I'll plan on stopping in. Not sure yet if I'll bring the Feej - I had a tupperware party a couple of weeks ago so I'm pretty up to date. If I bring the Jeep I'll haul some tools and throw a tent in there too in case I drink myself under the table. I've gotta...

    EOM 2016 - Registration and Info Update

    I'm in plus a tee shirt. Looking forward to meeting all of you crackpots FJR drivers. At least I've got some time to find a liver donor.

    PCIII or PCV for Gen 2

    PM sent. I've got one I took off my '06 and never put back on my '12. I don't really miss it. Anyone have a guess at what a fair price would be? (PC-III USB, circa '06)
