    Gen II ground spider discussion (bench racing)

    Well I attacked this problem a little differently. I pulled off the black cap, pulled out the spider and filled the plug with dielectric grease. The plug and the spider showed no signs of corrosion(2006 with 100000km). Then I put it back together, wrapped the whole spider plug with electrical...

    What the hell do I do with this?

    It's a hard pill to swallow, but just thank the lucky stars above that they didn't pull you over when you doing ......hehem.....slightly more than 28 over. Know what I mean? nudge nudge wink wink say no more.

    Gen II ground spider discussion (bench racing)

    Ok, so the way I understand this whole spider thingy is that the connection builds resistance over time because it gets corroded from water and goo getting at the contacts. This resistance creates heat which creates more resistance until it finally melts and leaves you stranded in BF nowhere...

    First ever tire change

    the PR2's are Very well balanced. I was taking the weights off for the first few changes until I noticed they were going back on in the same place. Now I just leave the weights in place and just check it after install. They haven't moved more than 1/4" over 4 changes.

    2010 Appalacian Camping Meet

    I had a great time. I really liked the campground, the location and the people that attended. Having coolers and ice was a real bonus. I really like the camping meet idea in general. You get to ride fun roads, meet other riders, have fun, do some camping etc. It's like a rally without being...

    JT and I meet up

    I spent my whole time down there looking for that right piece of jewelry that says "Honey I love you this much". I drove up and down the mountains, checking every curve for that elusive gem. Alas, I came to the realization that no gem can express the true feelings of love I have for my wife...

    Tom & I made it back to Canuckistan, 864 miles, Phew! Tom took us off the interstate for a final bit of twisties on 19 and then the final long slab back. I will post up some pics when I get a chance. It's a little cooler up here, about 45f. I had a GREAT time. Thanks Wheattie for setting...

    wheatonFJR's Inaugural Appalacian FJR Camping Meet

    That's only strike 1 Pierre, you still have 2 more. Glad to hear you landed safely. Fixing a tire on the shoulder of the 401 in the rain would be very interesting to say the least. I'm all packed and ready to roll tomorrow morning. Looks like it will be a cool wet ride for the first day...

    CFR - Darkside

    C'mon Scott don't be a chicken. Just mount one of those bad boys on the back and let er rip. Think of the better traction you'll get for doing wheelies.

    J&M CB2003 Installation Pictures?

    Sorry but I don't have any pics of the install. It went fairly easily. The system works great and is well worth the money. Here is a link to mounting the speakers in your helmet helmet install I'm not sure I did that right, how about this...

    wheatonFJR's Inaugural Appalacian FJR Camping Meet

    Hey Mark, Is it too late to get in on this gig? My "BIG" 6 week trip has been cancelled for this year, so I have have an opening in my tourtime. (My bro-in-law is off work with a back injury and may require surgery, so we have postponed our trip for a year.) I like camping, I like NC roads...

    James Bay after CFR??

    I don't need no stinkin' tires or gas...............I just need good friends who happen to have both. I have the perfect solution. Go to the "Darkside" to prevent the flats and buy one of Joe's fancy aux gas tanks to prevent running out of gas. You can make it between gas stops with a small...
