I thought I read somewhere we could leave them at the hotel, I could be wrong!

Ship some tires to the hotel in El Paso. I'm driving in and will bring some tire irons and such, if nothing else we can spoon some on your bike in the hotel parking lot. For balance I would use some "Ride On" product. I use it in my FJR tires and it does a very good job in balancing the tire. I...

Hey Mark, looks like you got a good group of riders there, we couldnt find any takers for our little Arkansas jaunt! Those are some fun roads up there. Our most northern position wont be to far from your most southern (Alton MO) One word of warning!!!!!!! Watch out for this guy he's trouble...

WOW! Those are some awsome shots, I love to ride in areas like that! What peak is that with the snow still on it?

Your Po-Go stick action most likly needs increased preload on the forks to reduce or eliminate, once you get that done the compression and rebound adjustments will help fine tune the ride! For me at 6'3" 230, I had to have the forks resprung to correct that pogo action, I couldnt do it with the...

I can tell you how I do it, I carry a couple of tools with me, I think its a 14MM wrench, screwdriver and a 17MM for the fork preload. I have aftermarket suspension by GP Suspensions. A Penske shock with low and Hi speed comp adjustments and rebound. I will go out and find a short section of...

I guess nobody else is bringing one. I dont have one, so obviously I haven't been thinking about it much. I am bringing a cell phone, I know coverage is gonna be spotty but I guess spotty is better than no coverage. Hopefully we can all exchange numbers in case one of us goes astray from the...

Hey Don I've got a Sony CyberShot as well 12.1 pix. The shots I took in Colorado, the ride with Rushes and Chris in Arkansas were with the Sony camera. Its also the one I'm taking to Mexico with us. An 8GB card will hold about 1600 shots.

Good stuff!! So many times I see someone recommend to another rider suspension settings based on what their own settings are. I guess the reason they do this is that a lot of riders are nervous or intimidated about experimenting with their own suspensions for some reason. Spending a bit of...

Hey Lee B thanks for the info, I will check it out next time through. I've only stayed in Jasper a handful of times and usually stay at The Cliff House Inn. Its a neat place if you dont mind the coyotes howling, the sunrise over the Arkansas Grand Canyon is pretty neat! This shot is from the...

You do lose some peripheral vision with goggles, you also lose some just putting a helmet on, road or dirt. Dont know about all helmets, but most have adjustmwnts in the visor, I pull mine down when on the road or going at faster speeds. I know what you mean, at speed if you let the wind get...

Post 3 and 5 says nothing about riders on this forum. Why? I didnt check but "no stock in North America" That may be downtime for awile. You can get a couple machined in a day, or you can wait for the backorder, just an option! Supposedly? Not good enough. If the bearing did sieze up enough to...

No maintenance to be done on the dogbones, and good luck in spotting a stress cracks or signs of metal fatigue. Makes me want to change out my stock dogbones and have some machined out of a high alloy steel or something. It would be easy to do! This is the first I've heard of this problem, has...

Well that sucks! I hope we can get up to put a little time on 125, thats gotta be the best road in MO! I hope you get it worked out Mark! Its been 2 years now since you had that little get off on 27, man time flies!

There wont be a specific route as such, as you suggested earlier we will take off and wait at the next turn for all to catch up! There are several really good roads we will ride "Push" "123" "16" and others. As we ride one and find it "clear" we'll probably make multiple runs. Its hard to get...

Why thats the cutest little yellow M&M I've ever seen! :lol: Here's my 2 cents on your question: Riding Gear - Until it gets down to the low 50's and below, my riding gear is the same whether its 55 or 95. Thats in the dirt, on the street its different. 70 degrees or so can get chilly at 70...

As you know "Christopher" in Spanish means "one perverted by weak mind" Just "Chris" is short for "I'm just a pervert" So its a 50/50 chance that those lonly border guards will not like you or they will really really take a fancy to ya! With that bald head and all I'm thinking you better get...

No TBA certified ride, just the boys out for a ride weekend!

Heres a time and date for what will be a full out ride, so come on out! https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=132664

Myself and Mark (Glory Racing) will be out riding all the good Arkansas stuff Friday and Saturday and probably some Sunday AM. We will be centered close to the HUB (a few miles north of Jasper on Hwy 7) Hotels in Jasper and in Harrison. This will be our normal kind of ride, which means lots of...
