    What Generation are 2016 and 2017 FJRs? (Run-Off)

    I must go with voting gen 4 due to all the changes/upgrades done to our FJR. I owned the '03 and '07 FJRs and saw the advances over the gen 3s, so I held out to score on getting the '17 FJR. I can justify paying the higher $$$ for the '17 because of all advances. If I wanted to add all these...

    Senior Nat'l Park Passes rises to $80

    I never knew they were ever free. I picked up mine 6 years ago for $10 and thought that was one hell of a great deal and now they will at $80 next month. I hate to think what they will cost for the next price hike and when it happens. I feel for the generation following us and the ones after...

    Senior Nat'l Park Passes rises to $80

    This is not meant for the kids who have to carry the load now for the boomers but for the procrastinators who sit on the fence and let a chance go by. You know who you are.

    Senior Nat'l Park Passes rises to $80

    Yep, us 62+ aged folks get a 800% increase in the Life-time Nat'l Park pass effective August 28 unless you already have one. So you have about 5 weeks from now to own your $10 Life-time Nat'l Park pass if you don't have one by now. This is just another way of sticking it to the baby-boomers so...

    Good point. I haven't heard about anyone's preferences but I'm assuming it is mostly about the RIDE with an occasional stop to stretch at a particularly awesome viewpoint or anywhere you might deem worthy.

    Only 2 weeks to go for the 2017 SW-FOG meetup in Loveland, CO. As discussed here, there are many possible rides that can be had and the scenery is endless in all directions. For Friday, I plan on the Walden ride and on Saturday, the Mt. Evans (top of the world) ride. I am counting on...

    How to add RAM stem mount to 2017 FJR

    I have that spot covered already. Thx I just might go with the motorcyclelarry option if all it takes is removing the 36mm bolt cap and replacing it with his "triple tree RAM ball nut"

    How to add RAM stem mount to 2017 FJR

    Okay Dave, I checked (the late) Larry's site and found the "triple tree ram ball nut" and the "ball" had to be ordered separately. Are you saying all I need to do is remove the existing 36mm nut on the bike and this "tree ram" replaces my nut? It sounds too easy if that's the case.

    How to add RAM stem mount to 2017 FJR

    I ordered the RAM (RAM-B-342U) stem mount so I could attach my smart phone. I took my 2017 to the local Yamaha dealer so they could remove the 36mm nut cap and he said the rubber RAM mount sleeve will not fit into the hole because there is a metal something there and it can't be removed. I...

    I was just informed that this hotel is booked up now! But the Hampton Inn still has rooms available at $202, so you might want to share room cost with someone else there (970) 593-1400. The hotels share the same parking lot. If you want to cancel at the Fairfield Inn, please announce first...

    Because of the Mt. Evans higher elevation, would a Walden Friday ride be advised to get acclimated before tackling Mt. Evans on Saturday?

    I must be getting older than I fell because I've never heard of any of these groups. The group that has any resemblance in name only is The Grateful Ball. philellis123, I bet you're glad you already booked your room.

    AJ, what is eating at you besides the TOAS spelling? We know you were having a great time and so was our Miss Dolly. She was all over that hot sausage sandwich you and scoot were serving up. She even came back for seconds. Where is our Miss Dolly? The last I heard, she was on her way to...
