    Seat cover for Russell?

    If it is likely to rain while I'm at work, or camping, or whatever, I throw a cover on the bike. Get yerself a waterproof MC cover and it will protect the seat and everything else.

    NERDS 2013 Poll

    I didn't vote on this one, because I don't feel strongly when choosing between Stowe and the White Mountains. I'm going to attend again next year, whether it's in VT or NH. And the bride and I plan on doing THaPS this time. Either location would be a blast, as long as we can get a base of...

    Twisties in the Rain

    HRZ makes a great point. Even dry roads can give us nasty surprises. Imagine that oil patch on a freshly-moistened curve.

    This is what happens when you let a friend ride...

    Hah! Not the outcome I had expected, but completely understandable. It only took one test-ride for me to be sold.

    FJR vs 1198

    An 1198 is like a hot but crazy woman. Riding once or twice would be a blast, but a relationship is out of the question. YMMV on both accounts.

    Covered Bridge Ride

    I can't remember the last time I saw that much dirt on one ST ride. Perhaps a Nova Scotia-type logging road could have helped the ambiance. Good times.

    I don't give a damn if that story's true or not, it's funny as hell.

    Who says Harley riders are uptight?

    Regarding the OP, how'd you resist the temptation to blare the horn?

    That looks like a horrid, aweful time. You have my sympathy.

    '06 AE: Key Sticks in Ignition

    I used a WD-40 type lube, which helps keep water off of the surfaces inside the switch, about a year or so ago. I think it helped significantly. The bent-key thing has happened to me twice, but other than that, no problems removing the key from the switch after lubing it.

    FJR has no character?

    Or sexual orientation. But seriously - soul? Who gives a ****? The FJR is very good at what it does. Reliable, flickable (for a 650 lbs bike), carries two and camping gear with no complaint, and looks ******' great. What the hell does soul mean when you need to do a valve adjustment every...
