I’ve had a few experiences in politely passing Harley trains where they speed up to block, or worse, move into opposing lanes to block. Always grateful for the FJR’s thrust. 

Panman looks like he dropped some pounds! No worries, the Sultan Bakery will have him back to fighting weight soon.

Patti was someone I always looked for at the Rueben Run. I got to know her earlier at CFR when I seated next to her. She was quiet and reserved with people she didn't know well, but by the end of that evening, we were chatting and then suddenly I wasn't a stranger. She was a true friend to the...

Bounce, it's not as bulky as the Ruckus, and I think has a larger engine (125cc) but not crazy HP (maybe 8-10hp).

Don’t worry - my last street bike was a Honda Monkey. Because... camp bike, neighborhood errand bike, didn’t get one when I was little so now I had to get one bike. Race ya....

On the house remodel we popped for a 20kw Nat Gas generac, even though we didn’t have too many power outages. But in the last 3 years they’ve been more regular and last 2-3 days sometimes. The last storm, it was awesome being able to run most of the house and have a furnace and TV as well as all...

You guys are thinking too small. Put ramps on either side - jump it like Bo and Luke Duke. Or Great Escape.

Don, been looking at scopes myself, for my kid. @audiowizeis the guy to ask - he’s an electronics guru who helped chase down some electrical gremlins in my Husky (pinched wire) and just restored my gramps tube tester and diagnosed a faulty subwoofer. He recommended the much less expensive (like...

Fontana speaks the truth. As pretty as Rainer is, the roads in Oregon around John Day and north are undeniably the best in the PNW. Plus unlikely to get stuck in weather or behind slow tourists. 

Congrats on the new bike. You’ll likely pile miles on it the first year and the FJR will get dusty, and just when you think you should sell it, you’ll look at the prices and shake your head about why you should let it go for such little amounts. Then one day you’ll head out for a ride on it to...

Mmmmmm. SAG residuals......

I’m a diesel fan. The mileage is better for certain, but the range and power is why you choose one, as the maintenance costs and DEF fluid eats into the savings. My gas mileage on my 2013 RAM mirrors Bug’s, towing a 28 ft 7500lb trailer. Love going up passes that tax the smaller gassers. You...

Sorry I missed everyone- I had a last minute chance to show a friend around WA on dirt bikes and road bikes and not enough time to get there and back. Hope the weather and air were tolerable- it is pretty ugly in the Seattle area right now until Monday

I road tested this gear sliding 400-500 ft after slamming down hard on the highway at 65mph. I had the basic armor, not the tri-layer. No serious injuries other than some heat rash on my knees, as I was wearing shorts underneath and the heat from sliding that far had to go somewhere (would not...

Room booked!

Dave, sorry you had to experience that. Tanya and I talk about how we hope our dog stays with us a long while - amazing how these furry creatures work their way into our hearts. 

Great route Don. I loved 133 which I last did with my son when we brought the 914 back from Palm Desert.

I once sold a CD transport (If you’re an audiophile you’ll know what this is) to a collector in Korea, who offered to pay the shipping cost, which was an additional $200. Between extra paperwork, customs forms, and additional fees plus extra packing, i ended up eating $50 of that shipping cost...

Pains me to see how far the prices of these have fallen. Feels like someone could part this out and have a nice profit.

Mmmm. shaniko. That hotel had tasty sammiches, too bad they’ve been closed for so long.
