Sorry to hear about your first drop, tdw, but it certainly resonates with so many of us. During its first summer, I rode my new 2015 FJR From the SF Bay Area to a family wedding in Pennsylvania. After a long, hot ride, I landed 4 days later at my cousin's place in Ohio. "Here. I'll help you...

Aw, come on, Ray. Cut him some slack. Carver's retired now. That's bound to cause some "Dumb ***" syndrome!

Weather forecasts are looking up! Pizza, pizza, pizza...

Not all mesh gear! This two piece keeps me cool in the summer and saved my hide during a nasty high side. I came out of the encounter with no road rash and the jacket suffered only minor cosmetic damage. And it's still going strong after 12 years. (click)

Cruise control is a wonderful tool to help reduce driver fatigue. But it's apparently morphed in the past several years... The cager I bought new 20 years before refused to die, which had been my usual incentive to get another car, and I was beginning to wonder which of us would go out first...

I have 2 Queen Beds in 2nd building, 1st floor. A room mate who tolerates snoring (or is hard of hearing) could work out.

Like Sir Carver, I also had a CCS100 unit installed by Sir Smitty. Enjoyed it for many years with nary a hitch (after I installed an appropriate check valve between the vacuum source and the reservoir). The McCruise offering used to be a CCS100 customized to the FJR in both throttle linkage and...

Shameless plug for Jeff and SmarTire (and actually against my own interest). I've been running the SmarTire system on my FJRs for the past 13 years, and I agree with Jeff. IMHO, this is by far the most sophisticated TMPS ever for this application. With the sensors mounted internally, it has no...

Helps offset the ride's pucker factor!

Sounds like something MadMike could have said in BC at one time, after having just slid across a wet wooden bridge on his back, "chasing" the bike he'd low-sided!

Now there's a thought! Ok... I'm IN. Booked at Bell's.

Right after the WCR on Vancouver Island (and into the third week in September), a few of us rode from Jasper to Banff on the Icefields Parkway, overnighting at Sunwapta Falls. While the weather was clear and sunny, dawn temps hovered just at freezing, so we waited a couple hours for things to...

Good memory, Rich! The date on the photo was June 24, 2006, and it was indeed the stop in Markleeville. My son, Sean, and I had just sat down at that table when Andrew came and joined us. I snapped the photo without much thought at the time, but after he left us the next year, I realized it was...

Good to again read your barbs, Barb! Here? Just as for each of us, it's a wonderful life... No matter what!

Meh. Just order the Raven colored one. It'll match the trim on your gas tank! ;)

I'm IN, and looking forward to seeing some of you folks again! Rally website suggestion: Perhaps add accommodation contact info to Lodging Page. Their name-change-in-progress makes it confusing for us feeble minded folks. Then again, that may help weed out rift raft! ;)

Geeze, the natives are getting restless! This goes live tomorrow. Where the heck is Nightshine? And why didn't he bring me anything? Cheers!

Okay. The big boss man says I can escape for the long weekend! I should be arriving sometime Thursday afternoon and staying until Sunday morning. Spare bed to let to the snoring tolerant (or hard of hearing) . PM me if interested, and we can sort details. Cheers...

I'll letcha know.
