    Team Lyle Alamo Express - This weekend

    Didn't notice stickers and never got close enough to see your back tire! Amazing time, and, congrats to all. Wow.

    Team Lyle Alamo Express - This weekend

    So - I was topping off in Mina, and along comes a rider going North on FJR! Gen II, Solteks(I think), and Pelican case on the back. I wave, he acknowledges, and I pull out, heading North also. We get out of town and he just flat LEAVES!!! I turned up 361, grabbed a to go burger at Middlegate...

    How old were you?

    1972-16 years. Hot wired a friend's DT-175(?) at high school in Cedar Rapids, rode up to visit a girl in the MHI (Nut House) at Independence, 65 miles away, blew out a spark plug, begged one from a farmer, then returned the bike with a full tank of gas. Then I started buying bikes. '73 RD250...

    Motus

    This machine may be for the guy who can afford an Indian, but wants to have some Fun too. If it's stinky expensive, fine, I'm not affected. If it's affordable, hopefully they sell a raft full of 'em. Engine promises to be a torque monster, not a 'Busa challenger. Big deal. I just hope they can...

    Weekly Harley Rant

    I just love these threads! We go from pissed off and impassioned, to reasonable and well-thought-out. I tend to go through both extremes while on the same stretch of road, following the same bunch of ********s. All I know for sure is, they may not see the smile, but they damn sure see me wave as...

    The BEST Motorcycle Commercial EVER!

    What you got against the Amish??? I walked away from the Domestic brand 20 years ago and have never looked back. Rode a dresser last weekend and was reminded why. BTW, my wife prefers the FJR, saying "It's got more passenger room".

    Do You Use A Tank Bag When Riding Locally?

    Chase-Harper magnetic. Have a Battery Tender plug so I can quick disconnect the Autocomm inside the bag, and it holds a ton 'o stuff. I can switch the bag between the FJR and the Super Hawk in a second. Neat! Magnets are really strong too. I put the bag on my workbench just for a second, put it...

    Going to the sandbox for a while

    Yeah, Feejers are like that. I get back to CONUS first week in March, so it'll be "Tech inspect, see if she starts, climb in the 'stich, and head for a parking lot to practice" time. Next day, lie to the wife that it's not so cold out, I'll be right back, and run out the door!. Ahhh - that's...

    Going to the sandbox for a while

    Have a safe trip! I've been deploying since late '03, on my 5th deployment, and I've been doing all the stuff you have listed, except I just hook up the Battery Tender with the batt still in the bike. I have the wife move the Batt Tender from bike to bike once or twice a month(I remind her when...

    Further proof the FJR is a LD workhorse

    Judging from the camera angle, plus the fact that the photo was shot from IN FRONT of the other bikes, I'd say that the photo was shot from the back end of a Gen 1 bike, brobably an '04. Just sent in my subscription. Merry Christmas from Iraq!!(again)

    Time for a new jacket

    I'll throw in with Shane on this one. I have run the Tourmaster stuff for years, and it's worked fine for me, BUT, I started reading about Rev'it!, and started lurking around on e-bay. Long story short, I now have the Rev'it! Air and Lab jackets, my wife and I both wear the Tribe pants. The wife...

    How far do you think an FJR could go in one hour?

    Based on previous experiences, I would estimate that it would get me all the way to the Impound yard. No Amsoil, with Avon Storms Your results may vary....

    It's not really Harley envy...

    Strength in numbers for a Feejer is ------ 1 Don't forget to wave like mad when you strafe - err, pass.

    Oh My God This has turned into a friggin AlAnon meeting!

    So I Think I'm About To Know A Dead Guy

    Ever try to sober up a drunk? It may be best to distance yourself from the kid. Who knows, he may just get curious as to why. One can only hope. And the alleged parents will moan and wail, and blame "Those horrible motorcycles!" Don't let these fools and their offspring tear you up. Raise your...

    Today I left the BMW club and joined the FJR Club....

    Welcome to the collective - resistance is futile.... I've been running a Vstream barn door for a couple of years, and it's a great addition, especially when it gets cold out. Love it on the longer rides, though. FYI my wilfe loves the Yamaha top box, especially when droning along making miles...
