    riding with high beams on

    My wife and I always have our high beams on when riding during the daytime. I want to be seen. When I am leading and she gets behind it is much easier to locate her bike with the high beams on because the bike stands out amongs other traffic. The Colorado Motorcycle Operators Handbook...

    November MotorCyclist has sport/touring camparo

    I don't mean to hijack your hijack, but can anyone tell me why the coolant overflow tank is on the right side of the bike in the picture of the naked FJR on page 90 of the Motorcyclist article?

    Corbin Canyon close Yeah or Nay

    When does a tank slapper become a head slapper?

    I was out riding last weekend and a guy on a bike with a pair of ape hangers went by in the other direction. Now of course he was not wearing a helmet which seemed to be doubly dangerous. If he ever got into a tank slapping situation, it could end up being a head slapper. Sometimes when I am...

    Can I still use my Craftsman motorcycle lift?

    I have a Craftsman motorcycle lift that I used on my previous bikes. Craftsman Motorcycle Jack Of course they were cruisers that had two nice frame rails that the jack used as lift points. I have looked under the FJR and I don't see an obvious place that the jack can use. I'm pretty good...
