    How did you learn to ride?

    Once upon a time many years ago: I had a high school buddy who owned a Honda 90. After school we would take it for 150 mile adventure rides, two up, into the Sierra wilderness. What a couple of geeks . . . . One day he said it was time for me to learn. He put me in the front and said he...

    Orangevale Memorial Ride

    What a great get together and ride. I can't think of a better way to spend a day then to spend it with such a great group of friends. Kudos to the ride leaders and photogs for making it such a great experience! :clapping:

    When are the proposed dates for WFO8?

    Doesn't Oregon have proverbial 55 mph speed limits every where? I trip plan around Oregon where possible.

    Zumo 550...XM Radio capability

    I run the Zumo with XM radio and love it. It was worth the expense to me because my FJR is my primary transportation. It has proven to be a very reliable. I use it multiple times daily. The mount for the Zumo is fantastic and easy to install and use. I installed the XM antennae in my glove...

    got the FJR - quit my job today...

    Hey hotdog! Let us know when you might be coming down into the midsection of California. Some of us may be able to join up with you and act a guides on some of our great roads here. There are way too many to mention. I DO recommend Hwy 36 from Fortuna to Red bluff as long as weather...

    cracked speedo glass

    Interesting. My 05 glass was similarly cracked by Capitol Yamaha when it was in their shop. At first they said they would fix it but they later reneged. I took it to Roseville Yamaha and found out why -- the entire top dash panel had to be replaced as one unit! [$750.00!!!!]. Yamaha took...

    Dumbsh*t award

    I did this years ago in a CJ-5 and it worked for me! I had a fuel pump failure near the top of Donner Pass. It was in the winter and it was snowing profusely. So, my buddy drove the jeep while I leaned out over the engine (we took the top down and strapped the hood up) and poured gas down the...

    Ready to donate but the link was not working for me. Perhaps my outdated MAC and software is a factor?

    Heard something new about the tick fix yesterday

    TC - If you don't trust the local dealer to do the repair then Zac at Roseville Yamaha is as far as you need to go. He has done a number of tic fixes (including mine) and is very experienced at it.

    NikWax Rocks!

    GAWD - Is this the twilight zone? I feel like I stepped into the middle of a commercial . . . Any suggestions on what Scooter can use to help him smell nice too? :D
