Losing your dog is a terrible thing, I've had to experience the same. Much worse than crashing your bike ... My sympathy.

I installed the Vibronators to my bar ends. I am not sure they helped a lot, but at least they came with a simple tool to remove the inner rubbermount. Below the pics show the original bar end and rubbermount on the right and the removing tool on the left. I am sure you'll get the mechanics...

For us it worked like this. Me in January: I need a new bike (13 grand), February: I need a new bike, March: I need a new bike April: I need a new bike May: OK, I could compromise on Öhlins for 1,2 g Wife: alright, alright, just leave me alone It always works !

Thanks for feedback, guys. How much and often do you adjust it? I guess the preload is the main thing to dial while loading up the bike? How many turns do you normally do if you load your saddlebags and top box full and occasionally add the pillon? I have to admit that mostly I felt the OEM...

Guess what was my this year's home improvement investment? Yep, its seating improvement. I did have (and still have) a heavy urge to buy the new 2016 FJR, but the offer for trade in of my current 2008 AS meant I should pay some 14 k € extra to get the same version (automatic clutch) with...

I am fortunate to have W Strom 650 for city commute. Much more nimble and lighter to split the lanes. Also fuel consumption much lower. But when it comes to trips, FJR is the one.

I do own both Wee '14 and FJR' 08. The Wee is for city commute and unpaved roads while I do my long trips on Feejer. This is a perfect combination, very happy with that. If I had to choose between them, it could be, that the winner is Wee. It is just so much more versatile, very easy to ride...

Use your index finger and the upper part of the switch for both up and down shifting. Then you never hit the horn again We have all gone through this

Very good idea. Which V- strom forum is as good as this one here?

Super cool photos all around here. I admire all yours' patience to play with the settings and hunt the moments. I wish I had the same

pics or it did not happen. By the way, how's the new model? Give us some feedback.

Great looking bike, congrats! Now every time you go riding you'll have a dilemma, which of the 2 fine bikes to pick. But do not worry, which ever you take, it is a right choice.

I've also been a happy owner of the 2014 DL650 and it is simply fantastic to ride around in town or gravel roads, alone or 2 -up. And enough power/wind protection to cruise around 80 mph on motorway. I still do my longer trips on FJR, but the daily commute is just on Vstrom. Very smooth engine...

Scary video, most of the scenes from Russia. You saw many people flying out of the cars. They have a habit of not using the safety belts: "a real man does not need that ****...." They fix the seatbelt behind their back to avoid the belt signal. I used to go there often for work, none of my...

Great write-up, thanks for sharing. I've been touring many times in Central-Eastern Europe, but not in those countries yet. Will be on my to-do list for the future!

Thanks for asking, Steve. Well, we've bought flight tickets all the way to Sydney and back and rented a car for the whole stay (15 days) in Australia. That's it for the moment. All the rest is still pretty much open. We are thinking of driving from Sydney to Brisbane, then down to Melbourne...

Already many years ago we've agreed among adults that we do not make any gifts, takes a lot of stress away from christmas preps. But of course we have them for our children. And they arrange something also for us. So I got a ski waxing stand. The only small problem: there is no snow in sight for...

yap, Merry Christmas!

Although I am not an active poster here, I do follow the forum daily. Don was really part of the soul of this forum, perhaps the greatest one. Made it a fun place to be and always had something positive to say about your post. Will miss him greatly. R.I.P.

arrrh.... I want to see it all!
