    It did fall down hard which is what they were working on. Stopped on side of raod, and the ground was soft. I ended up in the ditch with my bike on top.

    2015 FJR Headlight mount

    I got a call today from my Yamaha shop. They were doing some work on my bike and told me the 4 post headlight mounts were all broken. The part would be about $1400. Has anyone heard of this?

    Anyone use tank bags?

    I use a Givi ST602 tank bag which locks to the gas tank. They don't make it any more.

    Drone in Follow-Me-Mode

    The drone will hover where it lost track of you. Once the battery level gets too low it will "Return To Home" (RTH) returing to the last home point. Normally this is where it took off from.

    I rode my 2015 FJR1300 AE from Minnesota to Colorado and back this past June. I took videos of all of the fun roads in Colorado. I am still working on editing some. I am working on editing the climb up Mount Evans which is the highest peak you can drive to in the US. I have a couple of drone...

    Sharing rides and YouTube challenges

    I like the video editing and the way your wife added the maps. I think the 360 camera may have some visual aspects my GoPro's do not.

    Sharing rides and YouTube challenges

    I will throw in my two cents. When I first started using an action camera in 2016 I found the one I bought had no stabilization which made for shaky videos. I still wanted to add a map to show where the ride was so others could find the same location: Once I got a GoPro Hero 7 Black I found...

    Video Camera recommendations

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a Go Pro or other camera to mount on my FJR? I currently have a Review XP C300 Action Camera. It works well, and was inexpensive, but I am not happy with the image stabilizer. I do not want to mount the camera on my helmet, and prefer to mount it on the nose...

    Dropped it

    Yeah, pulled in to a parking lot last summer, and a car was pulling in heading towards me. I hit the brake and lost my balance. Very embarrassing to drop it in front of someone. Not the first, and probably will not be the last. I'm glad I put Canyon Cages on my bike.
