    North-Central New Mexico road suggestions

    I am not a local or very familiar with the area (traveled the area in a cage a couple of time) but check out https://www.motorcycleroads.us/regions/nm_mountains.html. Click on any of the Hwys listed on the right of the map for greater details. For input on roads across the nation the home...

    %#&*&@ Rain

    (Just down the road from FJRay) Middle of March and we woke up to a ton of snow and it snowed all day here in Central OR.......... Rain sucks, but I am having difficulty feeling with your pain.......

    First scratches..................

    My no brainer was a couple of years ago when I was moving my bike away from the pumps at a gas station. My friend was behind me waiting to fill up so I was pulling forward to clear access to the pump for him; I banged my hard right bag against a guard post at about 2 miles an hour, which was...

    If the Cagers Weren't Bad Enough...

    Now there is a ROAD HAZARD I had never considered worrying about before......... This guy needs some up close and personal time with a couple dozen Hells Angle type that are aware of what he is doing……..

    Back Seat Luggage

    Now that you have brought up the subject, there have been those few times I have gone for walks in scenic areas (State/National Parks) where I did leave it for half an hour or so and have so far just been lucky. Your post has me rethinking the wisdom of that. I think you are right, a...

    New Pur One PL14610 Oil Filter

    GREAT Idea with the highly textured paint…… MAJOR BAD CHOICE on the color selection…… (eye of the bolder thing I guess…..)

    No-Cal Rider Killed last night

    I am not sure what significance the difference between “hit and run” vs “leaving the scene” has under CA law, but I would have though hit and run to be a more substantial charge (just a guess on my part). BB2, you are right on target that the lives three families will be significantly changed by...

    Another squid bites the dust

    Functional word being “IF”……. {largest two letter word in the dictionary……} And +1 on what JimV said about scaring myself more than once…. And good reminders that our beloved sport usually has very low tolerances for screw-ups.

    Reflective Stickers

    My laser detector has only gone off half a dozen times in the +/-4 years I have owned it. (Terwilliger curves on I-5 in PDX twice, Salem I-5 and I-84 near Pendleton…. All in cage) And to date only one performance award and detector didn’t go off…… EEERRRRRR!!!! As for radar…. I can’t count the...

    "stick-on" equalizer

    Not sure how true the story line is but it goes something like below.... SEE PHOTOS before you rule out knifes..... (but IMHO don't bring a knife to a gun fight....) The photos are of an officer trained in hand-to-hand combat. The officer figured that due to his size and fighting skills...

    "stick-on" equalizer

    I have successful in evading direct confrontation for many many years, but IMHO there is no substitute for a good bullet launcher and regular practice…..when that extremely rare situation might arise where mo throttle is not an option…… Sad that is the state of the world in which we now live. A...

    Reflective Stickers

    How prevalent are LIDAR detectors now? Are they use in a few states, most states, all states????? I assume the reflectors would also enhance LASER returns from the rear also….
