Very nicely worded, as always, Hans. I like the analogy of a locker room. I've read a lot of things here that I have found to be childish, offensive or just plain rude. And often very, very funny. If I don't like it, I keep scrolling until I find something I do like. It appears that the...

My very first ride on the FJR was with a sofa pillow and duct tape instead of the seat. I came from a big V-Twin cruiser so I knew about heavy bikes but not about fast or fuel injected bikes. On the cruiser, I had the balls of my feet almost down on the ground. During that first ride, I ran out...

Great photo. Richard. I had no idea the bike was #35. After all the good wishes posted, how could I possibly leave this group? Besides, our room for GOTC in Goleta is booked. In answer to the questions posted, my bike had Kouba links on the back then Andy did something with the front, to...

Thanks Niehart. For some strange reason, I'm rather fond of some of the folks I've met here..

I like that concept, Mr Redfish. We have a lot of 'unreal' friends here. What greater joy than to convert those names and avatars into real friends?

Believe me, it wasn't an easy decision. Like most everyone here, I'm addicted to that throttle that just keeps on giving. But realistically the bike is too tall and too heavy for me. I can have a lot more fun with a lot more confidence on a smaller bike. And I can take it ff road. And it...

May. Goleta. Do we have a date? Coffee, brunch, bike ride, serious drinking session. You name it, my friend.

It is with mixed feelings that I bid my beloved 2003 FJR goodbye. With help from Fairlaner, the bike is going to make Julie (Mrs DJ Bill) very happy. Over the last 35k miles, my FJR and I have have had some great times. We've seen most of the Western US in most weather conditions. I've ridden...

I'm delighted to hear it. I can hardly wait to see you guys again. Richard said the hotels are pretty close together.

We are booked into the Holiday Inn. My new bike should be here in time to have the first service out of the way before this trip. Thanks for making the arrangements, Richard. I know that Andy appreciates his older brother's help. ;-)

Keep us posted, Richard. I hope to have the new bike and its first service in the bag by then. Of course, I won't be able to keep up with the FJRs with a mere 75HP but can still come out and have fun.

Definitely! We are bringing the Yamaha, KTM, Honda, GS and F350. Both Jeeps are staying home this trip. And the Jag and the FJR!

Cool. The more you distract me, the more you get to ride the Yamaha. That is such a fun bike. Of course, I'm looking forward to some two wheel time with the Honda. Fran will enjoy it too. It's a nice little bike.

Gotta get that quad running nicely, John. You give a girl some wheels for the weekend and you can ride my WR250. This is a Iimited time offer however. Next trip, I will be stronger and not be so keen on riding the Honda. Counting the days though. This is going to be a fun trip.

Enjoy your retirement Don. Make the most of every minute, since you're counting in it minutes rather than years.

Take the 22 to SR-86 and turn left. There is an Arco station on the corner. Go about two miles, to the end of the housing. After you pass N Marina Drive, take the next left turn lane and turn onto the dirt. We will look for a spot about a mile from there, but our exact location will depend...

Let's see...... closest five star hotel is probably in Palm Springs. With a fast Audi, you could commute to the campsite real quick but then getting back after an evening's entertainment would be a problem.

Wish you could be with us Joseph but I can see the attraction of Colorado in January if you're a skier. Have fun.

El Professor and I are taking the dogs for a weekend by the Salton Sea, close to Ocotillo Wells OHV park. Rumor has it that we will enjoy the company of several esteemed members of the FJR forum. We are bringing three dirt bikes which we are willing to share with friends. I'm excited to make my...

Great pictures Tyler. Thanks for sharing.
