    The PNW Crew (Niehart, Panman, et al) in Yosemite - You're Famous!

    I liked the write up and the way it was expressed how we get connected. Keeping those connections over time is the blessing. I would have preferred that you guys were leaned over a little more, as it looks like you are enjoying the scenery too much and/or like you are about to ride off the...

    WTB RH side case

    Confirm this: Right side saddle bag base unit w/o lid. I have one of these, that I have been holding onto just in case someone needed one. It isn't new like the ones you are showing in the picture on a FJ-09, but it would work just fine. You will have to learn to mount the lid. It would...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    I put this together, just in case someone needs to lead. I like to lead by giving out "the ride guide", just in case some want to go at a little different pace. Allow all to meet up at certain points. Here is what I put together for the Mt. Evans Ride: 6:00 AM 0 Depart Fairfield...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    Laverdaguy, you and I think alike when it comes to rides. A ride through RMNP, for me would include maybe three stops. Two to check out the sights and one to do minor investigation or visit a lodge. Since I was just there in 2015, I could ride through the park with one stop at the Alpine...

    WA Dam Ride 2017

    I'm not sure what you are asking about the "motivation" regarding the pictures. My motivation was used on more than one site and it was easier to just copy and paste in the FJRForum site than to try and load all the pictures. I original wrote it for the FJ-09.org site. I also included the...

    EOM 2017 - Official "I will help out" thread

    Hi Wayne. I would love to sit at a table, or stand by, and hand out stuff as well as say Hi to the attendees as I may only have met a few of them in the past. This is a great idea. Open to help on Thurs. or Fri. I will be riding from Deals Gap on Thurs. Have no idea how long it will take...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    I personally think, (IMO) that it really doesn't matter whether the bike is still operating on the original engine or has got a replacement, with respect to this thread. The main reason Greg came up with this site is that we were racking up 100K on one bike. That in itself is the genius of...

    I vote for the Friday ride the RMNP-Walden on Friday and the Mt. Evans on Saturday with the RMNP-Fraser ride on Thursday or Sunday for those that want to do all three.

    WA Dam Ride 2017

    WA Dam Ride by Ken Hattan I do this event every year called the DamTour and usually do two 4-5 day rides picking up dams. This year I scheduled a Washington Dam ride in May and completed it May 21. It was a 4 day ride, approximately 365 miles each day and I picked up 15 dams of which one was...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    I think it had to do with not knowing how I would be after surgery. (which didn't happen) I'm feeling pretty great, just did a 600 mile day on Sat. and a 470 mile day on Sun. Felt great after both. Really looking forward to the ride out (all planned).

    Agree with the ride through these towns. Boulder is way worse than it was in 1970. I revised the Mt. Evans ride per your suggestions.

    I changed the Walden Ride, to have us coming back on Stove Prairie Rd., as I haven't done it before and would like to add it to my list of roads. It also cuts a few minutes off the ride and that is good if you want to do that. Thanks for the suggestion. Any other improvements would be...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    I just looked at leaving at 6am going south to Mt Evans. We wouldn't get there till 8-9am, so would have to pay at entrance gate. Nobody checks the cars in the parking lots during the day, as far as I know. Should not be a problem. I haven't ever had a problem, only that one time when we...

    BTW: A lot of NP allow a golden age pass holder to be accompanied by a companion. When going thru the check booth, we should line up in two, one with and one without. Just an idea. It makes it much faster.
