    Do you always wear a helmet?

    Bringing this thread back from the dead... Do I wear my helmet all the time? well... mostly. There are ocasions when I don't feel like wearing it. Trips less that a mile long to get some groceries are helmet-less, hat-less and glass-less. I just squint my eyes and go for it. Then again...

    Tortilla Flat Video

    Thank you for the nice comments and advice. The paved road (about 15 miles of it) ends in Tortilla Flat and it becomes a gravel trail after that. It is also more twisted on the unpaved section, but it is a lot of fun with an off-road bike. Well, I finally got a few hours of spare time and was...

    Just a friendly warning

    I check my tire pressure every half hour or so. :detect: No changes that I can perceive. Running 36 on the front and 40 on the rear.

    Finally Picked Up FJR!!

    Hooray!!! You'll be delighted with your bike once you take it out for a ride. Oh, and don’t worry about the silly grin on your face after a ride, it doesn't go away, but there are no secondary effects. :D

    Tortilla Flat Video

    I know, it is a hair over 24 minutes... I will probably remove the straigt road section and compress it to MPEG-1. It will probably end up at a quarter of the current size, or eve less. Any tips on how to reduce this monster?

    Rear Power Slide

    OrangevaleFJR, I am glad you enjoy your rides, and that you get a thrill on those turns, but you only need to screwup once to mess things up really bad. Dude you might want to polish your technique a little. When the rear tire slides off in a turn due to a spin, you need to stay on the...

    Scraped exhaust today

    This smells a bit fishy, But in case you are not fishing here, it seems that you need to work on your technique just a tad bit. Leaning TOO MUCH may feel cool and give you a bit of a rush, but is not good technique. Specially when doing fast switchbacks; it is better to hang off the bike and...

    How do you like your Scorpion helmet?

    EXO 700 here. It is a great helmet, I never felt any push forward from wind drift with this helmet. It has very good aerodynamic penetration (it is quiter when the wind hits it square on than when the bike's wind screen is up). The liner can be machine washed without problems (I have two liners...

    Why I chose the FJR

    For the longest time I wanted a high performance motorcycle, suited for long distance touring. After years of nagging the ICU about it (a.k.a the wife), she said "fine, get your darn bike, just don't come home with your head under your arm". It was then that I started researching my options...
