This prompted me to (finally) set up a Paypal account which took a few days to fund. My own contribution has been sent. Sadly, I never got to know Andrew like many of you although did meet him once on one of those FJR forum north/south "meet 'n greet" lunch rides. We did exchange PMs a few...

My copy also arrived in my mailbox today upon returning from the Calfornia Meet 'n Greet at Avila. I too was quite surprised Motorcyclist chose a BMW R1200RT instead of K1200GT as representative Sport Touring weapon of choice. I now ride an RT, but not as sportier replacement for my former FJR...

I'm doing the road math and remembering the last time we did this. The SoCal group detoured (it was fun!) via Foxen Cyn et al and was very pressed for time to arrive at designated meeting point in time for the larger group lunch reservations. I recall with personal concern how the group moved up...

Thanks for permitting this ex-FJR rider to play today! My ride was probably shortest at just over 200 miles and I was wanting more, which is ironic given my gimpy throttle wrist and poor choice of mesh jacket during early morning I5 blustery cold winds! But after we backtracked from Pine Mtn...

Since MrBlue's personal Fat "Cat" is out of the bag that he is no longer FJR-mounted, I will plan on joining the meet-'n-greet and lunch with the gang too! Jeff

With friendly encouragement already provided, I'll be there in Castaic sporting a roundel badge for a romp through the woods! Jeff

An AP article in my local paper today had an intriquing photo, so I did a little internet surfing to find some pics taken yesterday during transfer of power to France's new President Nicolas Sarkozy. I believe the photos are protected, so I include links rather attach actual jpg images. (Note...

Another great vid, jdog! It was a fun riding day for sure! Shame neither of us had our shocks on "hard" when you were following and filming through those twisties on the eastern side of Hwy 58! After "flipp'n" it at the tree stop where the GS boyz had gathered (5:55 on video), what a difference...

Yes and now some of us know why your tag is "redtail"! ;)

Thanks you Armand for organizing our ride yesterday and to you and Tim for co-leading ("lead, follow or get out of the way" - I prefer to follow in group rides). It was a beautiful day for riding with evidence of Spring emerging everywhere. My ride was just 395 miles but I was ready to get off...

TWN, you and me both with pre-ride prep issues (except mine was less messy). I noticed FJR's radiator bottle was down to the "min" level, so proceeded to access and top off. Well, a simple thing led to loss of hardware (t-bushing insert) and misalignment on reassembly. It took far too long and...

Sage advice... there is fresh snow at Frazier and into Lockwood Valley, so Pine Mountain Summit likely has same at 6000' summit. Tomorrow AM could be d-icey! 9 AM update from CalTrans site: SR 33 [LOS ANGELES & VENTURA CO.'S] CHAINS OR SNOW TIRES ARE REQUIRED FROM PINE MOUNTAIN INN TO...

I qualify as Geezer. Decisions, decisions... 80* weather? beautious roads a-plenty? Do I be practical and do that fence repair project -or- join you guys for a romp in the woods? The FJR is still unwashed since Jalama, so a moderate amount of LVR debris is acceptable. Tim/Roy/Karla - are you...

Have you considered installing a swing-away (or removable) tongue to the trailer? That might provide enough clearance to store your FJR safely in the garage in front of the trailer.

WOW! Hot damn, that was fun! I rode that pass way back in 1981 on my brand new BMW R100RS (AKA "gummikuh" :rolleyes: ). I still have a Gr St Bernard pass pin (of many such collected). Folks, those Alpine roads are as narrow as they appear, having been built as cobblestone paths by the Romans!

Hey JDog, I told you "if you post, they would view"... Digi-pics are nice but to capture this type of action in full pucker mode from "birds eye view" is compelling.

A moto trip through the Alps is an experience never to be forgotten! Ist das richtig? Mine was way back in 1981 when I took delivery on a new R100RS in Munich (Bob Beach Tour) and rode the Alps for 3 weeks! Every day was a mind overload of vistas, narrow twisty roads, ancient history and...

Yeah, well my plate reads: (oh never mind unless you speak pig latin) But I call my 2004 FJR "Sparkle Plenty"... Maybe this shoots right over the head of younger riders, but shades of **** Tracy comics with "Sparkle" being the surprisingly beautious young thang born to B.O. Plenty. Another...

On our SoCal FJR ride Saturday, I wore my HJC Symax knowing it would be hot (it hit 104* :o ) and thinking Symax would flow more air. Well it did, but I wished I'd brought my Schuberth S1 instead. Why? With VStream/Schuberth combo, I find I can ride comfortably with the helmet visor fully up...

You old "Rogue", I knew you would git yerself one!
