    Inconsiderate FJR Rider

    Earlier this year I was riding east towards Harlem ave on 159th street and I noticed this Harley rider on my tail. So as we are weaving thru the traffic I would position myself so he couldn't get next to me at the lights. Just as we got to Harlem ave he jumps in the left turn lane and guns...

    ear plug help

    I bought a pair of the custom fit earplugs. Worked great until I put my helmet on. Now I use E.A.R. TaperFit2. They are softer and more comfortable than the regular cut.

    what is the quietest helmet for the fjr?

    Saddlebag Reflector Removal Tip

    I removed mine because the left one was damaged in my get off. It just look better without it but I am looking for some kind of tape or something that I can put on that won't look so bad but still provide reflections at night.

    Saddlebag Reflector Removal Tip

    Man! I just pulled mine off after Garauld repaired my left bag. Looks cleaner without it. Hopefully I won't have any more accidents. I used dental floss and WD-40 and a plastic stick.

    Gen2 Iphone

    I am not really impressed with the iphone I have. And it really seems like they are trying to get every last nickle and dime from you because it will cost you $15 more a month for service. My phone screen is cracked from my fall down but before I replace it I want to see what the software...
