    Aerostich Darien Jacket on eBay

    Dang, too small for me. I bought a pair of Darin pants 6 years ago but never bought the matching jacket. I have a 44" chest and weigh 215 so Aerostich charts show this would be too small for me. https://www.aerostich.com/media/pdf/2017_Sizing_Charts.pdf

    No Yamahas at Minneapolis International Motorcycle Show :(

    Yep, the show was ok and got me out of the house Friday, but it sucked balls that Yamaha, KTM, and Ducati weren't there. Ducati always has the hottest girls of the show prancing around their display. I was disappointed because I have some crazy idea of down sizing by two bikes getting rid of...

    Gen III clearance under LHS panel behind glove box?

    That's alright Don. But you did make me go out into my freezing cold garage last night to double check if I was crazy or not. Turns out I'm crazy as **** living in this god forsaken Northern country that has me parking motorcycles for months. I'm not sure if there is much difference under...

    Gen III clearance under LHS panel behind glove box?

    Hmmm? I installed a Clearwater Darla rheostat dimmer on the back part of the left hand glove box panel and thought that was a tight fit but I'm not very creative. I'm sort of confused though because you say you want to mount it "under this Panel, below the glove box", and then you show a...

    Yamaha OEM Slider Rip-Off

    So true Pegscraper. Yamaha should sell replacement covers for the OEM sliders since a parking lot tip over is inevitable although I think I've dropped nearly every bike I've ever owned with the exception of my four FJRs.

    2014 FJR1300 ES $8,500

    Wow, what a deal, but it makes me cringe to think of what my 2014 ES with twice the miles is worth.

    Yamaha OEM Slider Rip-Off

    Yep I have the OEM sliders and it was obvious when I installed them that the plastic cover was only decorative and not intended to function like a real Delrin slider. The bottom line is both types of protection are sacrificial and likely need to be replaced after a tip over.

    SEO Ramble 2018

    I haven't hit a SEO Ramble since 2011 so I'm over due. This will be the opening weekend of the motorcycle school but if I have a couple of rider coaches available to cover the classes I will give this some serious thought.

    Looking for 2015 ES model

    Dang, your a little late to the party. Last winter after the 2016 had been out for a year, dealerships were blowing out left over 2015s for $10,000 for the A model and $11,000 for the ES models but if your patient, with cash or financing in hand, and ready to pounce a good deal will be by soon...

    EOM 2018 Location Poll - Vote Now!

    I thought it was about driving half way across the country to drink beer in the parking lot with a bunch of the strangest of strangers.

    I must be stingy with the likes as I didn't even know there was a daily limit.

    2008 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S

    No problem. northsouth brought the thread back to life from a 13 month dirt nap and there isn't a damn thing wrong with that. I'm sure the new hypermotards are better, but be careful to have both hands on the bars when you first started out. I brought the bike home, unloaded it from the...

    2008 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S

    Well thanks. I purchased the Hypermotard a year ago in September. The post was sort of brought back from the dead, and yes it is a very fun machine but it's not in its element here on the flat planes of ND. This bike would be much more enjoyable in the mountains or canyons but I do have fun...

    Gen II: Yamaha Comfort gel seats

    Ahh, an apology and a happy ending for everyone. Isn't this a great place?

    CFR 2018 - WooHoo! Registration is going LIVE November 1st!

    Since I've never ridden Glacial or Banft National Parks and they are right on the way to Nakusp this sounds like a definite 2018 trip. The only problem is I don't see me making this because its one week before the Bigjohnsd Black Hills Roundup II dual sport / FJR event and being gone for two...

    SFO 2017 - Official Thread

    Well things aren't going so well with the project I'm helping some buddies with. I haven't been able to commit to attending and it isn't looking good but still playing it by ear.

    An FJR displayed at a tattoo and custom bike show? WTF?

    I hope none of those guys gets behind the ropes and gets within three feet of my bikes.

    An FJR displayed at a tattoo and custom bike show? WTF?

    This wasn't my idea, and I need to learn to say no. I don't even like to wash one bike never mind three dirty daily riders. The organizers wanted to display different types of bikes and somehow they got my name for a sport touring bike. The Ducatis are going because I can't shut my mouth when...
