I already had the recall done that replaced the bracket that holds the actuator so I think I'm probably out of luck on that score

Yesterday I had my 06 AE strand me on the side of the road when I got a weird shift and a SH_51 code came up on the dash. I was stuck in gear and the bike would not restart. Fortunately I was still in town but the bike was not going anywhere. I pulled the side panel off and noticed that the...

For all you Prius Haters out there..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrtnvK8riiw

I'm working up a route that will take you over to Elephant Lake Rd and the Peterson Rd. This will definitely be a longer ride. What I'm not sure about is whether on the way back through Ompah if the Lavent Rd is paved or not. In its current revision it runs 641 km (398 miles). This one takes...

Finally got enough dirt bike stuff out of the way to actually start putting together routes for the gps. #1 - The Poutine / River Route The route takes you into the land of poutine and Labatts 50. We cross over the river into Quebec for a run along the river before crossing back into Ontario...

Sorry to put you through the effort and I appreciate the effort. I have not made contact with Yamaha since my contact with their marketing side of things has left the company so this is going to be a very low key affair.

From Pembroke work your way down to Calabogie and run the 511 down to Perth. From Perth head towards Smith Falls and I think you want to cross at Prescott / Ogdensburg if you are headed to New Hampshire. I put together this route in Basecamp to get you there. Prescott - Ogdensburg Route If...

Rolled in to Beautiful Downtown Bowmanville at 20:30. I forgot about the Victoria Day Holiday and everyone who lives in Toronto was on the QEW trying to go back to the cesspool that is Toronto. Traffic started backing up in Niagara Falls which is 100 km from Toronto. I bailed on the QEW and took...

It is FINALLY out of Bob's garage and the mirrors are not poking me in the back.

You people do realize that the Cabot Trail is IN the province of Nova Scotia yes? Watch the forecasts closely. If the weather is poor riding the Cabot Trail could be a disappointment since it can get socked in with clouds and fog. However saying that I have ridden the Cabot a number of times in...

Unfortunately I tight for time and have a small window to get through Toronto so I don't think we will be stopping in on this trip, sorry.

Hey Bob, that Master Criminal Element Ray was trying to use me as a mule to smuggle this across the border. Somehow it was in my sidebag and I know I didn't put it there unless I thought it was my card reader which it now appears I left on your bench..... That's a good story, go with it.

After Ray finally managed to get the blue FJR out of the garage we let him have some of Bob's award winning chile.... We didn't trust him with anything breakable so we put the chile in Bob's three year old grandson's Barney the Dinosaur bowl. While Ray was chowing down Bob showed us his...

Next best for revenue generators, New York just south of Buffalo. They had 4 cop cars trying to find Ray. If they are trying to save money I can help them. Lay off half the cops. Enough of the political content. Ray & I put that day behind us and had a nice ride today down to Bob's. We made a...

As soon as they saw the Ontario plates we got Donalded.

Just north of Springville on the old 219. Ray was the subject of a massive manhunt since Ray was ahead of me when I got tagged. We both got a performance award for being on the wrong side of a non -existent yellow line. It was strictly a revenue generating exercise.

I had a margarita in Pennsylvania that was better than any I ever had in Phoenix (BeemerDons is now rolling in his grave). Then again I don't remember ever being in Phoenix and from what I understand that is probably a good thing.... The chimichanga was also excellent... The performance...

Just so long as I don't get any water into my rye whiskey. That would be a crime.

I had a Thundercat (YZF600R) before the FJR but I consider myself a dirt biker because when I get in trouble my instincts always take me back to my dirt bike background plus I spend probably more hours on my WR450F than I do on the FJR.

As seen on a bumper sticker today...
