I have found that the shape of the FJR produces (for me) a huge amount of wind noise. As an experiment, I took off the windshield and although the wind force was stronger it was alot less noisy. Of couse there was no protection from the elements like rain, cold, snow etc. Even when the shield...

Okay guys and gals, Canadian FJR is travelling all the way from Nova Scotia to be part of the "Pirate Parade" in Port Dover on Friday May 13. It would be fun to have a bunch of FJR's show up for this. I would like to get there in the morning before it gets too crazy, so I was thinking of...

If you want to you could make one for around $5.00. I used a propane heater to put the curve in the lexan and it has held it's shape for 2 years now.

It was supposed to be a nice weekend so I visited family in Orillia about 2.5 hours from my place. The trip up was great, sunny and approx 9C(48F). Today I left to come home at about 4pm and it was sunny and 12C (54F). In the first hour the sun disappeared and it dropped down to 6C (43F)...

I just did this job too when I was installing my new rear shock. I just lifted the back of the bike up into the air using a come-along attached to the garage rafters. As far as the offending centre stand bolts I used a 1\4" carbide endmill on the end of my die grinder and cut through the bolt...

Please please please please please show up at an FJR rally sometime. I absolutely have to see this thing in real life and meet you in person. You are like an engineer, MacGyver, mechanic and autobody man all rolled up into one guy. Nice looking ride!

Count 2 more. I went last year and had a great time, so I am planning to attend this year as well. One of my son's buddies heard I was going, so he asked if he could tag along. He's been riding for 2 years, but has never gone on a long trip before. So of course I said no problem, the more the...

Happy Birthday MEM! Dar & I wish you the very best!

In answer to the WTF?, Hey why not. I had a a Virago a few years back and picked up a motorcycle alarm at a garage say for like $30. It also had a remote start built into it. So in order to get my moneys worth I hooked up the remote start. I was actually alot of fun. I could sit on the deck...

Hi MEM, You can count me it too. Haven't missed a CFR yet, so I don't want to break my winning streak. Make sure to let the Premier know that you are having a rally with people coming from all over the continent and that he only has 6 months to repave all the roads. The eyes of the world are...

All I can say is "B-B-B Bird bird bird, bird is the word" Or A bird in the face is worth 2 in the nuts.

If I go electric it will be with one of these electric motorcycle

I'm using the HF model with the nylon rim grippers and the Mojo bar. I put threaded inserts in the garage floor, so that it bolts down solid. When I'm not using it I just slip pan head screws in the threaded inserts to keep dirt out. Nice and rigid. My last tire change was 2 hours, both...

Yeah but we have metric trees up here and they only leak sap in litres, so I don't think it takes as much.

Oh now I get it! When it comes to his GPS, he's not incompetent, he's just old and can't see the screen anymore. Happy B'day old man.

"I'm looking forward to being shocked by the rebuild" That's some funny sh@t right there Steve!
