Not even out of the box and it's already being abused.... Not to worry all is good but some assembly is required.... I go to the shop tomorrow to take delivery and then go get it all dirty.

Rain all day here but that is good because it will help wash away the sand and salt. I managed to find the FJR buried under some garbage cans in my garage yesterday and started it up and let it run for a while. Here's hoping it is clear enough tomorrow that I can get to go for a ride.

Placing a straightedge across the head will help you see if the alignment marks on the cams are in the correct position. It just helps reduce any parallax issues and a really good flashlight (or torch for our friends across the pond) is a good tool to have for this task.

I believe you are being haunted by the ghost of BeemerDons. I don't think Don ever mastered the skill set required to find the ON button for any GPS.

Be careful what you wish for.

Are you going to use your birthday as an excuse to spend some quality time in the garage today and get that valve check done?

The fact that the windscreen retracted on its own points to an electrical issue such as a faulty ignition switch or a spider bite. Both were issues addressed through recalls though the spider bite recall may or may not have totally solved the issue depending on the level of heat damage on some...

Beware! Chris might be bringing a big basket(case) with him.

Bad day in the Great White North today. Mother Nature like most women can't make up her mind and so far today it has gone from freezing rain to snow back to freezing rain and now just rain. I've got enough Forty Creek on hand that I can stay hunkered down and wait it out while the weather makes...

I saw a KTM X-Bow up close when I was at the Isle of Mann TT in 2014 and I saw the Polaris in the parking lot at the Barber Museum last year. Comparing the two just based on the personal preference I would definitely hold out for the KTM.... However this is an apples vs oranges argument since...

Owosso is the next stop past Petticoat Junction.

Have some ice cream.....

I will be going the the OFTR AGM in the early afternoon and then will be working the OFTR booth after the meeting on Saturday.

You are both correct. The 750 class back then was a mix of Triumphs, Nortons, XS Yamahas and XR Harleys. The races didn't sound anything like today. The smaller Expert class back then were still mostly 360 Bultaco Astros though people were starting to move over to the Rotax powered machines.

A number of folks on Facebook have been taking part in a 10 day dirt bike photo challange to get everyone through the winter. I got challenged to post up some stuff but rather than just post up recent stuff I decided to take the opportunity to drag out my old slides and start digitizing all my...

Last year when we were riding the Black Hills Rendezvous I saw a number of the trailheads and some of the ATV trails that ran along the road in a few spots and was really thinking about going back to the trailer and grabbing the WR450. From what I saw a DR650 with the proper tires would be a...

After we are there Pembroke will be wishing they were not on the map. Shirts re-ordered. Unlike those boneheads at SW-FOG we get things right.

I missed it too until that smartass Bungie noticed it.

When Wheatie moved to SC the desirability of retiring to that state went way down the list according to most of the people here. South Carolina has poor ice racing conditions too. A little more Global Climate Change and we will be able to ride year round on the roads in the Great White North...

Just a little dusting today but some white stuff in the forecast. We won't have to worry about enough ice for racing on the lake since it is going to a high of -20oC (-4oF) on Saturday. I got a new Blu-Ray player today that plays both PAL and NTSC formats. I have Closer to the Edge on DVD from...
