Hahahahahaha! You dropped you FJR in a parking lot? Welcome to the Forum, TooManyBikes. BTDT more times than you can count on one hand. See here: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/165369-low-speed-practice-range As for local riding, take off the bags, switch to S-mode, and...

Those videos are on dry level pavement. Wait until you drop your FJR on dirt or wet pavement, especially with the wheels uphill. Your attitude will change quickly. <edit, next day> Ask around. There are several FJR Forum members who have strained muscles/tendons/ligaments attempting...

Chapter 5d: Illinois Sunday morning in Hannibal, Missouri. The home of Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn, and Tom Sawyer. Legendary stop for Mississippi paddlewheel boats. I was having none of that. Today, we are going home. After checking the weather radar, our planned 7:00 am departure was...

Ally: PM me with links to your photos.

Chapter 5c: Minnesota and Missouri Saturday started at the Super 8 St Cloud after a solid, though short, sleep; overcast, but no big deal. Weather report said no rain. Saddled up at 7:00 am and started northwest. This was planned to be my longest day, and I was ready for it. Bike is...

CHAPTER 5b, May 2019: Michigan and Wisconsin Friday dawned clear and cold: it couldn't have been much over 50F, and it didn't get above 60F all day long. I put on two long-sleeve tees (all that I brought), my lightweight long pants (only long pants I brought), my thickest socks, and dug out...

CHAPTER 5, Memorial Day weekend, May 2019: Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Missouri This set of Atlantas was collected during a four-day ride over the Memorial Day weekend. If you’ve been reading along, you know I am stingy with my vacation days, so the plan was to leave Friday...

Nice, Mr Carver. Your posts make an attractive case for touring, Candy Butt style.

... and the 2019 edition is over. The winner? Griff, with 3,239.49 points, almost 20% more than the second place rider, and light years beyond the 144 points required to become a Finisher. Congratulations, buddy! See you at the banquet.

Try moving the Sena speakers around inside your helmet's ear holes. If they are misaligned with your ear canal, even by a few millimeters, they aren't loud at all.

Congrats, and welcome to Charlotte! If you see my son, his wife and their two kids, say hello for me, mmm-K?

Hey, sapest, did you ever find out why the bag wasn't closing properly? Bent hinge or latching tabs?

That is very cool, Pterodactyl! I'd love to see what they made for bikers. Here's something they made for shotgun hunters: https://vintagehaberdashers.com/tag/bird-jones-and-kenyon/

Yes, and thanks Pie Man. I got two phone calls this past weekend thanking me for my service. Nice, but a little misplaced.

Sorry I can't help you, McRide, although I do like your signature line. (Search for this issue and/or post up the question in Troubleshooting or Tech/Mech Problems.) As for the Palmetto State Craver: there is a drastic difference between S-mode and T-mode. So much so that I almost slid off...

. Made me laugh, too. Of course they're for Harley riders! Especially those that need 45 feet of pavement to make a U-turn. <edit> The training wheels, not the MotoBike Jack. I could have used the Jack on a few of my FJR drops.

It isn't 200,000 miles, but she started at zero in November 2014. Sunday, May 26, somewhere between Atlanta, IL, and Atlanta, GA: <edit, next day> See the rain spotting?

These things made a WORLD of difference for me.

Yeah. Those really long rides take their toll. Be aware of how your body is handling things, man: I'm looking forward to seeing you in Jemison.

Glad to hear you have no dog in this hunt. Would like another opportunity to ride with you, sir, since I arrived week early for the last one.
