    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I finished my traditional first-day-of-the-new-season SS1K at 12:30am this morning. (This was my seventh!) Even in Southern California, the first day of Winter can be damn cold. My route was from the Pasadena area down to San Diego, then east past Glamis to Blythe and up to Needles, then...

    Planning a ride up hwy 1

    My youngest son moved up the Bay Area back in June, and the last time I rode up to visit him he took me riding in the City, and I have to agree with Richard -- riding there is a blast. He took me on a tour up and down the hills, through the neighborhoods -- Castro, North Beach, Russian Hill...

    Planning a ride up hwy 1

    On your way back to Phoenix, avoid downtown Los Angeles by using I-210 from it's start at I-5 (just south of Santa Clarita) all the way to the I-10 junction in Redlands. While the 210 eastbound does get it's share of heavy traffic on weekday afternoons, it is almost always better than the 10...

    Boot Options

    After my seven-year-old pair of Alpinestar's got too worn to wear anymore, I found it almost impossible to find a boot wide enough to fit my 11.5(46) EE feet at anything close to a reasonable price. I found nothing at the local dealers, and then ordered and returned three different pairs of...

    85 Octane in The FJR

    I got a tank-full of 85 in Tonopah, Nevada yesterday -- a town Skooter is familiar with, at 6,000 feet -- and had no problems running at "central Nevada pace" down into Baker.

    Garmin GXM 30 / 40 antenna

    Mine is mounted on the clutch reservoir, using a bracket sold by an old Forum member who isn't active anymore (either on the Forum or as a fabricator). It's a round aluminum disk, about 2mm (1/8") deep, and perfectly sized for the bottom of the GXM-30. You remove the screws from the clutch...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    It was yesterday, but I rode home to Southern California from a visit with my son, who moved up to San Francisco in late June. (He has a Triumph Speed Triple, and on Saturday he took me around the City and the surrounding area -- a great day of riding!) On my way back, I met up by chance with...

    Isn't the record for consecutive months with an IBA certified ride something like 16 or 18? You're on your way!

    Best Radar Detector?

    I got a Valentine 1 within months of getting my FJR back in 2005, and with 77,000 miles on the clock, so far I have not been cited, and not for lack of opportunities. As Iggie says, the directional arrows really make a big difference. No matter what device you use, they will always be a...

    dCarver's next bike?

    My son got a new Triumph Speed Triple earlier this year, and loves it. He's up to 10,000 trouble-free miles so far. Nearest dealer to you looks to be Santa Maria -- is that too far to be practical?

    US Riders need Canadian proof of Insurance

    Since CFO in Nakusp a few years back, I always ask for the Canadian form when I renew my insurance. I make two laminated copies of the yearly documents, with the registration card on one side, and my California insurance card and my Canadian form on the back. One copy goes under the seat (so...
