    Always a good idea...

    That was great!  Reminded me of Norsemen on Netflix which I really enjoyed.  Might have to go back and re-watch a few episodes now.

    1st cross country ride

    As CanadianFJR mentioned above, LDComfort.  Other athletic type shorts may or may not help also but similar to Russel seats, just do it once and done.  Buy two.  Wash them in the shower with a little shampoo after the day's ride.  Dry them out as per instructions and leave out overnight.  If...

    BTDT.  Shoulda mentioned it to the wife before she opened the box though.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Besides, bad timing.  One of my (now) local barbeque places was on the short list for a visit.  I've eaten their offerings a couple of times but someone else picked up the orders.  Was looking forward to making the trip myself soon but that's scrapped since Sunday morning.

    I'm hungry.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    I like chicken parts but every time I've tried in the smoker they came out rubbery.   Even throwing them on the grill for a few afterwards didn't seem to help.

    FREE Gen I OEM Shock

    Doing a little cleaning and came across the stock shock from my long gone '04.  Changed it out while doing forks et al and not because it was blown or anything.  Records show it has about 38k on it.  Free to anyone, just cover shipping.

    Name That Place Game

    I used to have family in SW PA (Fredericktown) and got to visit often growing up.  Fond memories of what seemed like a different culture.  Went back a few years ago for memory's sake but this time saw it through the eyes of a motorcyclist.  Wouldn't hesitate at all to go back on a bike if I had...

    Looking for advice on beginner sport bike

    I remember 'Pants documenting here his mentoring of a young rider awhile ago.  Good stuff. I would imagine at his age image has A LOT to do with his choice so it might be a hard sell to have him look at something else.  I'd keep harping on the fact that, like everyone else he sees riding...

    Givi V46 Affects Handling

    I sorta remember this being talked about once or twice before.  Try strapping a tailbag or something onto the passenger seat and see if you notice any difference.

    Name That Place Game

    Ah, that did it.  I thought I've seen that but could've been in a picture or something.  I was fortunate enough to join in on a detour to the Little Bighorn Battlefield coming back from Big John's Red Lodge gathering.  We spent several hours there and I still remember it vividly.  Very glad we...

    Name That Place Game

    Nope, northeast somewhere.  Taken from the rider in front of him as they crossed it.  He was wearing one of those all hi-viz Olympia jackets.

    FJRF011: Fast Starter Syndrome

    She was just pissed you brought her up north.  Bring her back to the southern climes and all will be good again.

    Manual Cruise-Control Needed 06 FJR

    Agree with the guys above but will also add another issue with the throttle rockers.  Many instances, mine personally included, of catching your cuff on it when moving your wrist, like maybe when reaching for the brake lever?  Not good.  Mine came off soon after that.
