Welcome to tire life with an FJR. If you are even slightly aggressive with engine braking, aggressive with the throttle, ride spirited through the twisties, or ride at high speeds on warm days, your tire wear is about equal to what a lot of people would expect. You must have been particularly...

Well don't be jealous. I'll have an empty spot in the trailer for your adventure bike and we'll be coming right through Phoenix. We'll slow it down to 10 mph while you jump in.

No luck on a Friday night ZARS session as the first Friday night at ZARS is May 18th. They just released their schedule this week. I need to get back there and rebuild some cornering confidence since I didn't see enough curves last year. https://www.ridezars.com

I know I threaten to come every year and I've only made it once with the 999 in the back of the pickup but I'm going to say I'm going to try to make it again this year. The FJR could use a TBS and some lessons on how to use my new Carbtune pro 4, block off plates installed, and some new...

Well how about that. I've been trying to learn a few phrases in Spanish for an up coming trip to mexico but I never knew I had it on my key board. Tilde an accent (~) placed over Spanish n when pronounced ny (as in señor ) or Portuguese a or o when nasalized (as in São Paulo ), or over a...

What the hell is that little thingamajig in between jpg and original?

There has been no discussion on a 2018 NAFO that I'm aware of. The only reference that I'm aware is on FJRiders. Someone mentioned NAFO, but only because he was proposing an unofficial CO ride and didn't want to mess with a possible NAFO date.

I know Clearwater knows what they are doing but having different lights mounted on both sides of my bike may trigger some OCD in me. So the Erica is mounted on the right for better road side illumination with the Krista on the left?

Bring it Joe! I can handle four El Toro Joes.

I'm just worried we're going to end up with four El Toro Joes in Spearfish.

Well I think I have all the I's crossed, T's dotted, a new set of TCK70s for the Tenere on the way, and I'm in! Looks like I'll be swinging through Spearfish to join up with you John.

Not even on a bet. She's going through an ugly divorce right now. I'll keep my distance.

I ran this ride past the war department last night. I have a couple more things to check on but this ride is looking very favorable and Ill give you the thumbs up or down tomorrow. I'll also have to come up with excuses why I didn't swing by to see my sister in Ladera Ranch 107 miles North of...

I spent seven weeks in Italy in the early 80s chasing those sinful Italian girls.

Just to attempt to prevent confusion & highjacking of the main thread or sign up thread I started a new thread on this DakAL/FODS event in ride planning and regional information exchange near Johns other Black Hills Roundup II threads. Black Hills Roundup II DakAL/FODS Planning and discussion...

I just thought I would open up an auxiliary thread to plan and discuss the dual sport riding portion of bigjohnsd's Black HIlls Roundup II without highjacking the main Black Hills Roundup and signup pages with dirty talk. It sounds like MR Bill and Russperry are interested in riding the whole...

Well, I'm in and booked at Bells Motor Lodge for the 26th though the 1st with a double room and no room mate yet. I wasn't expecting people to want to ride the whole DakAL but if you guys want to ride the whole DakAL I could be persuaded into changing my plans or I could stick with my original...

Ride planning. That's funny. I just go where ever someone plans an FJR event. I don't have the motivation, brains, mapping, or organizational skills to plan my own trips. With that I am considering SEO, Trying to make CFR in Nakusp work but that would be a stretch, Black Hills Roundup II...

I've never ridden in Oregon, Idaho, or or Washington. Is there any good riding or things to see there? The Motorcycle school will be slowed down to a crawl by the last week in August and I've been trying to squeeze in a trip out to the North West for years. I'll be giving this some serious...
