    Why I decided to Start Doing the Work Myself

    I love stories like this. I know there are many good mechanics out there at dealerships, and there are many honest dealerships. But, I have a hard time turning my bike over to someone else and hoping they are the right combination of the two. Most people are more than capable of doing at...

    Hazard lights constant on

    I would have to believe someone pushed your hazard switch in, and it is stuck.

    2013 Iron Butt Rally - The Inside View

    If only he had carefully read the Bin 'O Facts....... Just kidding! My helmet is off to all of the riders, behind the scene, and in front of the scene support people. My butt hurts just sitting here watching. I hope the FJR riders kick butt. Go Wendy!

    Left Side Bag Liner

    If you aren't picky, I have a spare L.H. bag. I just got a new set to replace my torn R.H. bag. Bad: It needs to be washed; It has one small hole at the front. Good: Zippers work; Seams aren't split; It's an original vintage 2003. Best: Free; PM me with your address.

    running bad (feeling blessed)...limped home (walking on air)

    Good job, Fred! While I give my share to charity, there is nothing more gratifying than helping a fellow rider. I hope Mike gets MANY more miles of riding and PG missions with Isabella. I also hope he has funds left over to do something for/with AIW. She deserves something for putting up with...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Changed oil and filter; Changed pumpkin oil, then went to record it and realized I changed rear-end oil about 5000 miles ago-whoops; changed brake and clutch fluid; greased pivots. Looked at the calender and pulled out the maps and dreamed for a while.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Installed my GP re-worked forks today, after working all night. Temp. got up to 50 F, with no rain, so I took a little spin to try it out. I didn't work them hard, but I think I'm going to like this. They were a little harsher on bumps than I expected; could be the new seals causing a bit of...

    Duke has passed RIP

    I'm sorry to hear this, Marcus. It's always hard to lose a best friend. Take comfort in the fact that Duke traveled more miles, had more adventures, and had more friends than most people ever will. I just wanted to add that I'm glad I got to meet you both at Lapine.

    How My Risk Equation Has Changed

    Hans, Eat a "big 'ol bag of ******* M&M's" and call me in the morning. Seriously, quit using the FJR as a commuting weapon and stick to riding for fun. I hope you stick around. We need all of the classy people we can get. (I'm looking at you, Carver!)

    This is what happens when you let a friend ride...

    I did my waiting too, Wheaton. I sold my Yamaha Vision in '91 when the kids were small and the house payment was big. I bought a Bandit 600 in '99 to see if I was still interested in riding-I definitely was. After my wife died, I decided I was going to get the bike I always wanted; I just had...
