    2013 ECU maps

    I've been following the discussions about the 2013 model and availability of different ECU maps. Yamaha previously updated FJR technology to design the Super Tenere and this is a feature of the Tenere that now seems to have come back to the FJR. I don't know if anybody feels whether there is...

    what's the deal with ladders?

    Ladders are definitely not an West Coast thing. They step up all over the DC area. Bouncing wheels & tires are another thrill now & then.

    The Muffintops are half the price & built to handle anything.

    Trade FJR for R1150Gs?

    Being in MD, you are somewhat in the DC market. A bike like yours on the DC Craigslist should bring top dollar. Trade straight across for a current generation FJR? <_<

    2012 fall Foliage Ride

    We rode Skyline Drive yesterday and it'll be at peak bloom for the next week or so, depending on where you are. PArts were like riding in a colorful tunnel. If you want to go, NOW is the time!

    Time for a new GPS

    I've had a Montana since Spring on the Super Tenere and hate the thing almost as much as using my Gummint issued Blackberry. The Montana's upside has been that screen size and legibility are fantastic. The waterproofing is good. BUT I've suffered through the dreaded white screen of death...

    2013 BMW R1200GS

    Thanks 34L & 41. Something usually not noticed is that MuffinTop is essentially a one-man show and Wendell will work with customers on new welded aluminum ideas & do so at a good price. Quick release SW-Motechs, bolted to the boxes. Just use the large fender washers inside of the boxes. Now...

    New Horse in the Stable

    Great find! We've got the same bike for Tim & the Tenere for me. Might as well order up new tires already. Tim got 4200 miles out of the Shinkos and that was mostly highway.

    2013 BMW R1200GS

    Then stay with the FJR, RT, C14, or other sport tourers and be happy. I do have to say that after a full season with the welded aluminum bags (https://muffintopindustries.com), I'll someday have trouble going back to plastic with compound curves, like on the FJR. Not only does the available...

    Sena SMH10B Review

    Be VERY careful with the plug, where it goes into the base of the helmet clamp. I've broken two and I was trying to be gentle. My son says taht the wind catches the cord and it flaps behind my shoulder, which I've never felt, so my guess is the plastic fatigues to death.

    Handguns

    Have the Pro extended barrel S&W M&P for IDPA and it does shoot sweet. But I actually trust my Kahr CW9 more. While single stack, it has less issues, plus it's smaller, thinner, and lighter than the compact M&P. The XD was the best comparo photo I saw online quick.

    Handguns

    Walthers are cool, but just like BMW vs Yamaha... Kahrs are reliable and function.
