    A camping Trip gone to Hell

    I really sorry to hear about your 'meet the asphalt' ride Wanderer but glad that you still have a sense of humor about it and didn't come out worse than you did. My take-away is that I am moving my phone into my jeans pocket - sounds like a good thing. Now if anything bad happens I have to...

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions :rolleyes: - I am in the process of making the calls (I want to get extra cheek pads at the same time). Its a done deal now :yahoo: I ordered from This Website BY FAR the least expensive place I could find. Free shipping like everyone else - free size...

    Best online source for Arai Helmets?

    My Quantum has just about seen its last mile :( The safety police will surely tell me I should have replaced it 150K miles ago. . . I have been looking at the new lineup of Arai (I really like their products) and the Corsair looks like a winner for me. However the best discounts I see on line...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    lol - you sound like my dad. He was into boating and his idea of a long weekend with the family on the boat was to leave on Wednesday and come back on Tuesday. I just turned 28K on my '08. It will be 2 years old next month.

    Bohn Adventure Pants - my review

    Prior to taking my recent cross country ride I purchased the Bohn Armor pants. I have ridden pretty much in jeans my whole riding life except for my 'rain pants' which are overpants I wear in the wet stuff or in below 40 degree temps. They are some sort of insulated, padded pants made up of the...

    Newbie with a 2009

    From my experience I wouldn't reccomend this :angry: Although the velcro they supply is pretty hefty, I was riding on RT 95 at 5 am when I crossed into NY and hit a pothole in the dark. The little bugger bounced off my tank then my leg and then onto 95 at 70 mph. I hesitated in deciding...

    My FJR Fell off its kickstand! Need Parts!

    Sorry to hear about the drop Ultra. . . I had a similar misadventure (I dropped mine in my basement garage out of sheer stupidiy). It was only a few months old and the right saddle bag and Givi top case were scratched nicely. I took it to a local body shop I know (too well because of my kids)...

    Critique - how I handled sand in a curve

    I did the same thing several years ago on a GL1800. My son & I were riding the badlands in South Dakota when I entered a turn only to discover tar snakes everywhere. I managed to cleverly get maneuvered right onto one. The back end did a kick out instantly and the bike started to lowside. I also...
