    WFO : Where are you now?

    I'm packed and ready to go. Think I'll head out Tuesday Morning so I'll have plenty of time. Going east over to Deming, NM then up AZ 191 and loop around east of SLC approaching northern I. D. Ho from the east hitting Lolo Pass on the way. Got lucky as there is a cold front approaching and it...

    Buy an Ignition Relay Harness at WFO...

    I think I may need that. My 05 has been acting a little strange lately. Had the clock reset once. Save me one.

    Deer Season

    Guess I've been real lucky. In 45 years of riding I've come close a couple dozen time but haven't hit one. Last time was two weeks ago while riding my drz back from a dinner ride. Four dear crossed in front of me and I managed to get down to about 5 mph as a trailing fawn came within inches...

    Another reason to check your helmet before ridi9ng

    I haven't had any problems with bugs crawling into my helmet BUTT the 1st ride on my new 929 a yellow jacket (sting hurts WAY more then a honey bee) flew in under my visor and bothered me for a bit. Luckily I got it to leave w/o doing any damage. Funny thing is the next day I was at the same...

    2010 VFR1200 Details Leaked

    "Am I missing summfin'? I dont see an adjustable windshield, nor do I see any hard bag mounting set up. And are those clip- ons or just low handlebars? Looks to me more like a sport bike than a sport-tourer." That will be on the ST version. :)

    Please choose your helmet (edit) fastener carefully

    I have a clasp identical to the one in the picture installed in my SHOEI RF1000. Properly fastened it is metal to metal. The plastic encloses the fastener but the strength comes from the steel fasteners enclosed by the plastic. I've been using this product for a few years. Never had it...

    MotoFizz Camping Seat Bags

    You replied to a thread that's a year old. I think the backorders have been filled. ... I've had a large Motofizz bag for seven years. It's a great bag.

    DS options

    I have a klx250s and a drz400sm. Both fun bikes. With a 29" inseam I've had to slide my butt to the left on most the bikes I've ridden. Not a big deal. The klx250s seat is pretty tall but I have more trouble getting off of it then riding it. ;)

    Safety Tip

    The lesson here is ... if you are following other cars onto freeway don't assume they will merge as expected for a minute. Do your head check of approaching traffic that are on the freeway well before you have to worry about what the drive in front of you will or will not do. We've got many...

    modulating headlight story

    My FJR will be 4 years old next week. First thing I put on that bike while it was still being put together at the dealer was Kisan HMs. Got headlight modulators on the CBR929 & DL1000 as well. Works for me.

    High mileage recommendation

    A stock klx250s will get 70+ mpg. Used ones are normally souped up a bit (exhaust, rejetting, etc.) My 06 gets 54 mpg with a Muzzy full exhaust and all that entails. :)

    The Secret SV-650/1000 Suzuki Owners Society

    +1 on your beautiful SV Scooby. Got a question about the 2009 Mars rover. I didn't see any solar panels. What's the power source?

    My ZX-14 Ninja with Bling Plus

    What's your gas mileage on that beast? I'm getting 44 mpg around here on the FJR and get 48-50+ in the mountains.

    stranded in Austin

    I normally have a useable rear tire laying around so if anyone gets stranded near Abilene give me a holler.

    Got My new 07AE

    Hi Spook. Welcome aboard. Those new FJRs have a mpg gauge? Sweet. Is it accurate? I understand the mpg gauge on the ST1300 is a bit suspect.
