Winter returned today. We were 99% snow free and hit 60+ a couple times this week. This picture is before the wind cranked up turning it into a blizzard for a few hours where I was unable to see the houses across the street.

In my best mocking whinny voice "Am I the only one riding these days"? This is Abercrombie this morning before the winds kicked it up to a full blown blizzard and I was unable to see the house across the street for a few hours. Tomorrow morning I can post up pictures of my snow blowing ride...

Before meeting the people here on the FJR forums and traveling East and South East on the FJR, I have to admit I've had misconceptions of the people in this area. 35 years ago I spent two years in Fayetteville NC and couldn't wait to get out of the South. In recent years after hitting a...

Looks like winter is giving us one last kick in the balls after two sunny 60 degree days in a rows. Winter storm and blizzard warnings Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday so I'm out as well. The silver lining is, I just got invited to ride dirt bike in Moab in two weeks so I do have...

It does apply to the GT version also. I received mine last week and blew it on a tank of gas and pickup wash.

Frank looks GREAT! He appears about 10 years younger with less weight and more hair than he did last winter in BAJA. I bet he doesn't advocate for his type of diet plan though.

Well you can't go wrong with the Yamaha FJR cover. Its a little expensive but it fits like it was made for the FJR because it was.

Sold!

I love my Tenere. When I hit a deer with my 2012 I was buying a replacement Tenere as soon as I was able to hobble into the show room. If and when the 700 Tenere arrives that may be tempting since I've really been trending over to more dirt based rides on the Tenere.

Holy farkle list!

Nice video Marcusorelius, but I thought you were pulling the old bait and switch on us when it took 58 seconds to get to the spring break girls.

Well I have a room booked at the Brass Door 11th - 14th but we have flooding predicted for our area. As Mayor of Abercrombie I would guess it would be frowned upon if I hopped on a motorcycle and took off letting others deal with it. Playing it by ear.

Yes, I did it the long way up and down Broadway from East to West and back again.

Nice ride Russ. Over the weekend I replaced battery in the DRZ that crapped out on me this winter and went for a short ride. To test it out, I rode all the way to the other end of Abercrombie and back. I don't think there were any wild flowers blooming under the massive snow banks so I didn't...

Since this is a rare occurrence and I've never heard it come up before, I have to ask. What is causing the need to raise the rear end? Are you experiencing a lack of ground clearance while cornering? If you're a heavier fellow, I assume you've installed the proper weight springs and had your...

I don't think we are witnessing the end of motorcycling but participation in Basic Rider Courses in North Dakota are down about 15 to 20% over the last few years. I would say that this is some real objective data. On line registration for my MSF Basic Rider Course and Experienced Rider Course...

I've just purchased a couple female coax panel mount cables to mount up for heated gear on the FJR and Tenere. Coax just seems to be the best, compact, all weather plug for heated gear in my opinion. I wish my battery maintainers had coax plugs on them instead of SAE. They plug and unplug...

I have a pair of Aerostitch Darien pants for sale size 36 long. They are in like new condition with no visible blemishes or signs of wear. I'm guessing I've wore them about 10 times. I bought them a few years ago with the intention of buying a matching Darien jacket but I started drinking the...

What the hell? Different weight oil for different countries. My owners manual lists other weights.

What I can't believe is how kind and gentle everyone has been to the new guy who started an oil thread. Maybe we're maturing around here. Since you asked, I use Mobile 1 T6 10W40. Its motorcycle specific, meets all Yamaha recommendations, and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing I've thrown...
