    North American Wild Card Moto-Tag Game

    Ok....looks like the airplane tag is still "it" so...I submit my entry.. I passed this one on my way to Iron Pony when I bought my FJR and decided that I'd make a return trip to snag a picture with it. From what I understand, it was a retired Naval plane that was bought by the VFW and turned...

    Discusssed this with the other half last night. Put me in the maybe category. If I can get the logistics all sorted out, I'll make it happen. I think I'm slowly becoming more insane than I was before....

    Say What? The MD 20/20

    That's awesome! I've often wondered how one gets into the Rally thing. I've considered it for awhile, may have to do some investigative work

    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    I don't remember how much I paid for my YES, but I know that they gave me the 48 months for the 24 months price since I had been at the dealership since noon waiting on my bike to get built from the crate. I ended up leaving around 730pm after it was all said and done.

    I was always in the case of needing a truck and not having one. I bought a '12 F150 Supercab 4WD last year with the Ecoboost V6. I average around 15mpg, but have gotten near 20 on the highway. I love having the full size, but do wish that they'd bring the Ranger line back...in bright screaming...

    It's Contagious

    I bought my first one, an 06, after just sitting on one. I came from a sportbike background and always wanted to ride farther and different roads than all the guys I rode with. Didn't want to go as far as a Goldwing, so I went with the FJR. Took me a few years to get another, but I'll never...
