    4th of July snow ride

    Thanks for the pics, reminds me of my ride through there in Sept 08 although I do not recall any snow. I guess I have to start saving soon for my next USA odyssey.

    My Russell seat arrived today

    After taking a year to decide if a Day-Long seat was worth it I finally ordered one and it arrived today. Alas two weeks ago I threw the bike down the road and I'm still waiting for the insurers to authorise the repairs so I can't go out for a ride. Am I frustrated or what? But it looks good...

    Le Mans

    Watching it live on Eurosport - for the entire 24 hours! I'll probably see more on TV than when I've been to the circuit as a lot of time is spent in the bars. The Group C legends race was good, great to see Porsche 956 and 962's again

    Mayers or Russel

    I ordered mine last week with a production date of June 16. I should receive it back in the UK at the beginning of July so you should be ok for Taos. I will be contacting Rifle shortly about a new screen.

    Photos of Volcanic Eruption in Iceland

    My son and his girlfriend are on holiday in California, I'm just hoping the situation improves by Friday so they can get home ok. In the meantime I've been shuttling between the UK, Rome and Barcelona getting some of our employees home.

    The Who ROCKED halftime

    Just seen the recording, brought back many happy memories of "The Valley" in 1976. Rain, lasers, mirrors, flying beer cans and the loudest music I had ever heard. Pretty good back up acts as well, Little Feat, Sensational Alex Harvey Band and, IIRC The Outlaws

    Two UK bikers USA Tour 2010

    That's what I was told and I have no reason to disbelieve it, but due to heavy fog I could not see anything apart from the 10' in front of me. Another reason to visit the US again :lol:

    Death Valley Wildflower ride----Socal edition........

    I'm sure you'll see it (and me :rolleyes: ) again, although as it was such a hit I'll have to bring two bottles. As always there are too many places to visit, Scotland, Romania and Lithuania are on the list for the rest of this year but I'm sure I'll be able to fit in a visit next year, maybe...

    FJR Death Valley Daze: January 22-24 Great MC Ride!

    OK a poor choice of wording on my part, but that's why I'm a chauffeur and not a writer. What I meant to say is that the company can no longer afford the top range Lexus so we are looking at cheaper alternatives. For me, in my job, the Lexus is a better car. The last time I drove a A8, some...

    FJR Death Valley Daze: January 22-24 Great MC Ride!

    The snow is thawing here so I thought I'd check the forecasts for S Cal and NV. This is what I found TIMING... WHILE THE EXACT TIMING OF THESE SYSTEMS IS STILL UNCERTAIN IT APPEARS THAT THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA AS EARLY AS SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY BEFORE EXITING ON...

    FJR Forum European M/C Tour: June 25-July 10, 2011!

    I'll be visiting Scotland in June and Romania in August but I'm beginning to make tentative plans for 2012. Either New Zealand in February (not sure I can bear 24 hours on a plane) or another tour in the USA in August/September. Lots of money to be saved in the meantime
