    What did you learn from/about motorcycling this year?

    My first broken bone, although I should have had many. The people I waved to was my wife and daughter. They better not have laughed!!! :) They were videoing me going up these pretty sick hill climbs and after coming back down and past them they captured the entire stupid incident for years of...

    What is your favorite folding knife?

    Just picked up one of these Smith and Wesson extreme ops knives. I like it, it has a great feel and balance to it.

    What did you learn from/about motorcycling this year?

    Learned not to ride past people waving in whoops yesterday without looking a head, or I may again hit a large rock, that may kick out the rear wheel, could launch me, resulting in a broken scapula and then have to ride 10 miles through the desert back to camp while the bones keep shifting.

    Inexpensive HID's

    They may be to big for the FJR, you deciede, or you may have another use for them. Guys from another site are using them for off road instead of shelling out big bucks for the Fuego's. They are @ Checker Auto Parts, Schuck's Auto Supply, Kragen Auto Parts or here's the link to the HID's

    This Sucks So Bad!

    Bummer I know, but could have been much worse outcome if a vehicle was coming the other way like someone said. The mountain roads around here can hide danger after a good rain too. Your sliders had their work cut out for them if the bike filpped end over end. Glad to hear it wasn't more serious.

    Motorcycle design research

    I've done quite a few of these in the past. Kinda fun and different. I called Lynn to OK posting her e mail. They are looking for owners of nothing I own, so I thought I'd pass this along: "A while back you were invited to participate in a market research study for the motorcycle industry. We...

    Passing of an Icon: Evel Knievel

    When I was a little kid I remember watching him on tv and being so intrigued with it all. Breaking all those bones and still comes back to do it again. He was one nutz man and I think deserves some respect. They call Mike Metzger "the Godfather", but to me the title belongs to Evel. RIP Evel.

    Scare today

    Was riding home from work today and kept exchanging lead with a unknown rider. We were splitting lanes, I was leading now @ about 25mph and suddenly without warning or a signal, a guy in a PT cruiser cuts fast into the next lane. I was passing with my front wheel about even with his rear wheel...

    Considering a KTM 450EXC

    I bought the 530 exc earlier this month and love it. I only ride it on the street to riding spots or to connect trails and once on the dirt it is poetry in motion...

    08' KTM 530 EXC

    You won't be disappointed E/H. When I first got it home I rode it down the street I felt ill. It was really plugged up and geared way too high. Now that I've had it 4 days, I've rejetted,o ring modded,de-smogged,regeared (I would do way over 100 easy in stock form), replaced the crappy d.o.t...

    Spline grease alternative

    With some looking you may be able to buy a single cartridge. If that doesn't pan out I'll get you some. PM me if you can't find any.

    Spline grease alternative

    Been a GM line tech for years and was using the GM stuff. Was at the GM training center in Burbank and they were recommending 488-1 Red Crown lube for slip yoke splines. Been using it ever since. The stuff is awesome.

    FJRF004: The 2006/7 Altitude Fix

    Recieved the"letter" too. I regularly commute through Cajon pass and have vin: 0000005, but don't feel the surge. I wonder if I should get it anyways. I don't want it if it makes my bike slower :)

    Locked Up Abroad: "Colombia" on Nat. Geo. TV

    I caught it now being shown on National Geographic TV. He's a well known adventure rider and the story is of a ride he was on to the tip of South America. National Geographic listing---I'm sure it will also be shown in Oct., as it premiered @ the end of this month. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!
