    New Website

    My dad and I rode over to Delmarva Bike week last year - I was the only FJR I saw in a sea of Harleys, Customs, and Cruisers, with an 'occasional' sport bike. I've never seen so many bikes in on place as I did @ the show grounds. I know what resturant you're talking about.. I think it might...

    Right, right - what indeed is a Delmarva.. :-) Delmarva is a peninsula along the Mid-Atlantic coast of the US that extends into the Cheapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, it contains portions of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Also referred to as the "Eastern Shore". It's a popular vacation...

    New Website

    As reported in another thread, I've been down with a broken ankle the past 3 weeks, with another 4-8 weeks to go, and since I've not been able to get out, I've been keeping busy. I've built a website @ https://www.delmarvamotorcycling.com with news about rides and such in my local area. If...

    Chrome/silver face shield?

    I have a blue-mirrored shield on my helmet that I wear sometimes, and keep a clear one in my bag. The main problem with the tinted one is that I forget to carry sunglasses when I have it lots of the time so when I get off the bike I'm blinded. I generally now just stick with the clear visor...

    Go Buy a REAL Motorcycle!!!

    When I was on a group ride to DC last year I was one of the only non Harley/Cruiser bikes on the run. Every time we'd get to a stop sign there was a lot of revving and popping. I finally got a little tweaked about it and started to rev the Feejer too - I got a few funny looks at first, but we...

    Fairing parts

    +1 for Gary @ University. I had to replace my right-side fairing and it came in no time for waaaay cheaper than my local shop. I've also ordered some Yamaha parts for my dad's Warrior from him - great all around.

    Stupid Avatar

    Hey, now that's an idea.... The only part I'm really bummed about is missing the ride to the LEO Memorial wall in DC coming up in April - I went last year and it was one of the best day trips I've ever had on a bike. I just don't think I'll be in riding shape by the time it comes up.

    Stupid Avatar

    One of the guys on the gaming forum I run asked me something like that - "Dude, we know you ride a mototcycle, and that's understandable, but walking down stairs? You need a bubble." I've not even been in the garage since I got home from the hospital - partly becuase it's down a flight of...

    Stupid Avatar

    So I switched to my cool "Do not fall down stairs" avatar a few weeks back, since my and TejasFJR were both using the same Batman logo. (You're a thief Tejas!) It seems I should have followed my own advice, since Wednesday a week ago I (can you feel it coming??) fell down the stairs. About 3...

    Curves, Canyons and Crashes

    I have one of those - I never was a big fan of it... It is super compact though.

    Go Buy a REAL Motorcycle!!!

    Size doesn't matter if you now how to use it.... One of the 2-3 officer-involved shootings that have happened since I got on the job was a local cop called to a disorderly crowd with a guy firing a gun. The officer showed up, ordered the guy to drop his gun twice, the suspect failed to comply...

    Slow Speed Video

    I don't think those are ST's tho - if I remember correctly, it's older model bimmer police bikes in some Asian country.

    Road Rage Killer Gets 10 years

    I think I posted about this incident when it happened last year, two Harley riders got into a pissing contest with a guy in a Suburban, and the guy in the truck ended up running one of them down and killing him. It happened west of Dover, De on roads I ride fairly frequently. He pled guilty to...

    Another Day

    That's not 60 miles from my house and I didn't hear a thing about it - I don't recall anything from the papers at all. Sad, horrible thing..

    Vacation 2006

    I'm going to Disneyworld!! The wife and I and the little one (she'll be almost 5) and my cousin and her family are all loading up for a week @ Disney in September. Not so much a 'bike' vacation. My dad and I are going to take a 3-4 trip down to Waynesboro, Va in the spring tho, riding Skyline...

    Yami Dealers

    Both Yamaha dealers close to me had FJR's 'on the floor', one an ABS, and one a non (which I bought). They were both ordered and backed out on. I'm more inclined to think the Dealer just ordered them for the floor.
