    Hello fellow FJRers from NE SK!

    Welcome from the Okanagan Valley!  I bought my first FJR a 2004ABS while I was living in Regina, a deer ate that one near Indian Head.  Now on my third - a 2016ES.

    Rendezvous at Red Lodge 2020 June 25th - 28th, 2020 - It's a Wrap!

    Sadly the wizards (lizzards?) leading our two countries announced today the extension of the US Canada border closure to at least July 21st. Will catch all y'all next time - maybe try to work in the Reuben this Fall.  There will be a King room at the Chateau freed up later today.  😟

    Rendezvous at Red Lodge 2020 June 25th - 28th, 2020 - It's a Wrap!

    The Canada/US border is now closed to non-essential travel through June 21st - they have been pushing that date out one month at a time, At BigJohn's suggestion I will hang onto my room for now and see what develops, but I am not optimistic... If I don't make it, have fun y'all!

    I have a Zumo 396 coming and will need a new shade. Happy to pay Pterodactyl to build me one and happy to promote him on the FJR Canada FB site too - if he wishes...

    YFO 2019 - Sept. 12-14

    FastJoyRiders are finally back home.  We had a wonderful week in Gold Country after YFO, lunch in Roseville with the NorCal faithful last Saturday and spent a night with the Bluestreeks before heading home (no - Steve did not let my fly his drone - wise decision!) Thanks all - till next time we...

    PNW Tech meet #21 July 20, 2019

    Let me add my sincere thanks to Bryan and Marissa and the whole PNW crew! Great to see you again and nice to get my steering head bearings regreased and retorqued. Bryan: Did you buy that special socket for the castellated nut or did you make it? What is its size in mm? I have a buddy with...

    PNW Tech meet #21 July 20, 2019

    OK - new tapered bearings instal seemed like a bridge too far right now, not least of which is that I can't source the bearings. I did watch Brian Glynn's video on TWO and now I am thinking that it would be worthwhile to do a bearing repack and re-torque first and see if that helps my issue...

    PNW Tech meet #21 July 20, 2019

    Don thanks for the links. That process looks very intimidating to me and well beyond my personal skill set. Are you thinking of coming up for the tech day? If so, and if you're willing to help/lead on this project I will source the bearings and come on down - but otherwise I think I would be...

    PNW Tech meet #21 July 20, 2019

    If say a crazy Canuck was to head down for Tech Day is there sufficient skill and experience within the collective to install tapered steering head bearings in a 2016 ES? If so, where would such a fellow source some quality (Timken or similar) bearings? Asking for a friend

    Wyn Pro Custom MC Products

    Does anyone have a sidestand foot that they would be prepared to part with? I put my last one on my 2006 using red locktite so it has gone with the bike!

    X-creen windshield extender

    Just added one last month to my 2016ES with a Puig windshield. Still in experimenting stage (best positions for different speeds and winds) but it's easy to adjust and very effective. I like a quiet air pocket if using my communicator with SWMBO and this gives me that.

    The FastJoyRiders are in! We booked a "sleeper" queen room at the Willow Springs Motel across the street ($95/night). Wanting to continue our long-standing marriage, I was hesitant to book Sylvia into accommodations that are unheated at the Settlement! See y'all in a couple of months.
