Thank you so much for letting all of us here on the forum know of his passing. I never met him but I did swap some PMs with him concerning axes and blade steels. He was a wealth of knowledge but humble about sharing it.

So far my BMW ownership experiences have been a lot like Prison ***. I didn't like it but I could not see any way to prevent it. YMMV. I like the Super Tenere a lot. Pop and I have been discussing this pretty heavily lately. We just cannot see getting rid of the FJRs at this point in his...

There should be some sort of Accident Report. Every incident/accident I ever heard of the insurance company required a copy of the Official Police Report. I would assume (that word again) that this is common anywhere in this country. Get a copy of that. Make sure your doofus, lying, dumb@@@...

Dammit, do ANY two people EVER agree on the proper way to maintain a motorcycle chain? I have not heard or read the same advice twice on any forum or from anyone. Now I get yet another method from the smartest man on any of the forums I frequent. I Give Up. I HATE this damned chain. Sorry...

I am afraid that if one more box is delivered here with "Procycle" on the label Mrs. Redfish is going to Get Upset. I have installed a Bajaworx tinted windshield: To this level I have fallen, cleaning a damned chain: Suzuki provides two separate power sources that work off the ignition...

Pop and I had the old Cardo Scalarider for years and we liked them but they were not perfect. We upgraded to the Cardo Freecom 4 after his crash. We really like these.

I now have 680 miles on Big Suzy and I have spent a lot of money on modifications with no sign of being done anytime soon. Yesterday I received a slightly used Sargent Low seat from an awesome fellow FJR rider and forum member. Of course I took some pics: The Sargent is definitely...

I know about the tailbag on the Honda XR 650. It's a little pink clutch purse with enough room for mascara, lipstick and nail polish. When I get home and have access to my Photobucket account I will post some updates and some pics.

Everyone has given good information and I do agree with most of what has been said. I will submit that some '06/'07 FJRs run better than others. My grouchy friend HotRodZilla has an '07 and reports no issues with his throttle. My Pop had an '07 and his was TERRIBLE. Lean surging at steady...

Sorry, I never actually go anywhere anymore.

I just had to revive this Dinosaur Thread since it was a factor in my recent DR650 purchase. Yes, I remembered it from several years ago and I have been debating the XR650 vs DR650 in my mind ever since.

I am so damned jealous. But I am getting there... I bet your DOT knobbies are better than the Bridgestone Trail (Death) Wings that originally came on your bike. Mine seem to grip pavement okay but nothing else really. I am INTERESTED in that Sargent Seat. I will need something to use if I...

So, I rode Big Suzy yesterday evening and did get her dirty. I had my First Drop! It was so liberating to know that I did not scratch and destroy my fairing, my mirrors, the fairing stay, and my side cases. I laughed like an ***** as I lifted her back up. A helluva lot lighter than the FJR I can...

I don't really think so. Pop really liked it but he keeps asking questions about KLRs and CRF250Ls. We are some confused folks down here. But I am Very Happy with Big Suzy. I just have to spend some more money on her.

SHHH! Don't give him any goofy ideas. I am trying to get him to donate it to Redfish! Redfish will take Very Good Care of it.

A couple things I have learned so far: 1. Regarding Dual Sport Bikes, the Best Bike opinions vary widely and the opinions are STRONG! 2. Everything I ride that is not an FJR makes me respect and admire my FJR even more. 3. Even a few miles off-road is a work out. 4. Wind blast against wide...

So I have been researching Dual Sport motorcycles for a while. A long while. The first one I really lusted after was the Yamaha 500 Enduro… So I am about due for one. Today I drove to Satan's Armpit (New Orleans) with Pop and picked up a brand new, off the showroom floor, 2018 Suzuki...

+1 and Me Too.

I say buy one of each and make the trip twice. Then tell us which one you liked better. If you cared about us at all you would do it.

I hate to disappoint you but you better start reading some spec sheets. You won't find too many sub 300 pound options.
