Good old fashion North Dakota Blizzard today with about a foot of snow, 50 mph winds, and temp dropping to 0 tonight. Saturday morning we will be in the deep freeze with a low of 21 below F. I haven't rode a bike in two months. I hate this thread.

Well this was going to be the year to finally hit the Reuben Run but i'm foiled again. At least I'll be in the NW. The wife and kids planned an Alaskan cruise headed out of Seattle from Aug 27th - September 3rd. I could be riding motorcycle but instead I'll be sitting on damn boat a looking...

Catalogs and shipping are expensive and Aerostich only sends out free catalogs with orders of $500.00 or more. I usually swing through Duluth once a year and pick one up at the factory / warehouse / store for free when I'm buying **** I don't really need. Aerostich will sell and ship you one...

Well I don' t know when I'll get down there to ride black top again but I'm pretty sure I'll be back down there from June 13th - 16th riding dirt with the Dakota Dual Sport Riders. The spring rally will be held at the Fish N Fry Campground again this year just South of Deadwood on 385. For those...

The mini compressor and wheel weights that will prevent the rim locks from causing the Beta 500 from hopping down the road arrived today. Only four more months till riding season arrives.

190 MPH on a naked bike?

Looking forward to Frank's speedy recovery and our next ride together. Some of my favorite shots of Frank from Baja California. Frank with a slightly damaged inner tube. Frank hitching a ride after his flat tire. The whole Baja California crew. Franky and I chomping at the bit...

Happy Birthday, what is this Facebook? Ah what the hell, I'll wish him a Happy Birthday also since he's a good **** and everyone loves a good ****.

Thanks for helping me spend my money Niehart. I already have one but now I won't have to remember to move it from the FJR to the Tenere all the time.

Shoei shows 47 current variations of the RF 1200 so I'm guessing the discounts are on the discontinued color schemes. I've owned the X-11, X-12, Hornet DS, Hornet X2, RF 1000, RF 1100, and currently wearing a RF 1200. The RF 1200 is a great helmet with a lot of improvements over the RF 1100...

Thanks for the notice. I think I'll wait a few months to have my recall done and let the dealer learn on someones else's bike.

WOW! Sexy, I'd ride that.

Damn it! Looks like I've waited too long to go see Glacial Park. Its been on my list of things to do.

Mail away, Pterodactyl. I'm sorry for being clumsily awkward stepping on your generous offer at 1:40 in the morning.

I also have one I'll never use. I'll be down in your neighborhood Saturday / Sunday and likely stopping by Memphis Shades to say hi. Let me know if you want me to throw it on the Tenere and haul it down there before Saturday morning.

Make sure you bring two phone chargers! JSNS

The Blue Beast in Spanish I'm guessing. But Bestia as an adjective is Stupid, thick, ignorant, clumsy, careless. or it could mean Amazing or incredible. I'm guessing in this picture when it was running and John was smiling it was the Blue Beast In this picture with his head under the seat...

The front tire has noticeable scalloping after 6000 miles but I don't remember any vibration coming from the front tire. The recommended front tire pressure for the Tenere is 33 PSI. I suspect the cupping or scalloping would be drastically reduced by not cornering or braking so aggressively...

I'm guessing your just joking around but yes it does matter. I used to be that guy that always had to put a little extra in. if you turn the tire counter clockwise (forward) the correct amount will come out the fill hole and you will wind up short. If you turn the tire clockwise ( backwards)...

I also put the Shinko 705 804 / 805 on the Tenere before Baja in February. The rear is pretty roasted after 2600 miles and I'm guessing it will have to come off with another 500. The front 804 isn't doing that bad and I might expect 4000 of usable tread out of the front, which is amazing for...
