    AC separation

    What you've done is tore the ligaments that hold the outer end of you collar bone (clavicle) down to the acromion (outer tip of your shoulder blade). If it's a grade 3 the ends of the tear are no longer attached at all and so can't grow back together. That means that you always have a bump where...

    Gen I Spacer/tuning block mod. question

    I've read about the effectiveness of tuning blocks or spacers in windshelds and I would like to give it a try. I am hoping for some words of wisdom from those with experience in making this mod. Please comment if I am missing something here. I am riding a gen I (04) with a blue Cee Bailey flip...

    Vancouver Island roads

    Sounds great. You will have to come towards Victoria on your way to Port Renfrew. I don't have DH so not sure exactly what routes you are planning, but I should be able to find you. I am done with work about 11am on Wed. so could meet you enroute...maybe if you are stopping for lunch?

    REGISTRATION OPEN: 1st Annual Western Canadian Regional Ride

    Just after the call came in for Canucks....a buddy tossed me the keys to his '04a and asked me if I didn't mind riding it for a couple of months. Well Ok, I guess if you insist! So I'm in as the rep from Victoria, BC for Parksville. Looking forward to meeting all those attending. I'm also...

    First bike.

    I've never owned a MC, except a choppered minibike when I was 14yo. I've ridden a variety of friends bikes off road over the years in a very limited way and lived on bicycles when I was a kid. Three years ago my neigbour, a retired cop and MC safety instructor convinced me to get my license. I...

    To all BC'ers and PNW Types

    Oh Barb....look what you have started now. Looks like we will have some visiting FJRs on the Island next year. I will have to buy an FJR by then for sure! It is so much fun just lurking though, especially watching and reading dogpiles. Time to pull the trigger soon!

    To all BC'ers and PNW Types

    Great idea Barb. It sounds like a good enough reason to make me pull the trigger on an FJR in time for this event. Yes Beemerdons there are rentals available in Victoria...have a look at cyclebc.ca

    2007 Top Box Recall

    I seem to recall helping a friend deal with his....same problem. I think that he had to trim down the rubber pads on the bottom of the top box. Pretty sure, but it was last spring so memory a bit fuzzy?????

    Going to the Sun Road Opening Info

    Last year I was on a ride that went from Jasper down through Waterton and GNP to Boise. I have to tell you that the road construction on the GTSR was a major PITA. Several long delays put us way behind our planned ride for the day. It was the first week of July so a busier time of year but the...

    CFR 2009 Registration is Open!

    I am itching to sign up but I've get back on an FJR first. I've been following this since the beginning and am blown away by the reponse. It will be a great rally and I hope that if it is all sold out there will be alternate accomodations or cancellations available.

    Riding pain

    Last year on the first day of a 1 week ride I also developed pain in the same area after about 3-400 miles. I was riding a buddies FJR and we figured out that even though it was a Cee Baileys +2 flip it wasn't tall enough for me and I was getting some slight back pressure pushing the back my...

    Hockey Talk

    Only stupid until you lace 'em up, grab a stick and start mucking around with some buddies. That's when the speed of the players and the puck sinks in and you realize how good those guys are.......skating, shooting and hitting full out! Have pity on my Canucks and let us win a few this year!
