    No Yamahas at Minneapolis International Motorcycle Show :(

    No Triumph at the Minneapolis show,either. Could have been due to the timing. Some of us were riding the previous weekend and then winter hit. It's hard to get excited about motorcycles when I'm shoveling and chopping off ice from the driveway. I still managed to go and met up with quite a few...

    Jimmy Buffet/Eagles concert June 30th 2018 Saturday at 7:00 pm

    Well, I got stupid and bought tickets for the Minneapolis show. I might have to get a part time job to pay them off. I'm not on the field and two $154.00 tickets cost me $386.00 after service charges. F*ck Ticketmaster. Their service charge was $29 a ticket! There are still some on the field...

    Brian, I'm staying in town for Thanksgiving, so I'll be at the tech session. Probably won't be doing any work, but I'm always happy to hang out with everyone.

    Older motorcyclists most likely to die in crashes

    Maybe us old farts are the largest group still riding. The MC industry is not attracting new riders. They would rather still on the couch and simulate riding through VR goggles. That way they can still drink fancy coffee drinks while on a simulated ride. I guess not many of them die falling off...

    MN Tech Day 4/22

    Mike, Thanks to both you and Joy for hosting the Tech session. Everything was great, as usual. The brats were great and the shrimp was amazing. I did forget to bring Brian Heiple's back rest home with me. I hope it's still on the chair on the East side of your workshop. Let's touch base so I...

    MN Tech Day 4/22

    OK, this is on the calendar and I will be there. I am back on the bike and have been riding for the last three weeks. Actually, I told my main doctor I'm not going to stop riding. Life on blood thinners is a drag, but it beats the alternative. I know the risks and my assume the responsibility...

    Well.... I have time now.

    That's really bad news. Sorry to hear about this. As much as work sucks sometimes, or most of the time, it sure is hard to go without a pay check. I hope you find something soon.

    MN Tech Day 4/22

    There's a good chance I'll stop by for a while. I may not be riding. Had a new medical situation that has me grounded for an undetermined amount of time. I have to get cleared by the doctors before I get back on the bike. Ski season for me is also over.

    Minneapolis Motorcycle Show 2/3-2/5?

    I'll be there Friday night for a while. Early in and early out is the plan. I'm heading North Friday night to go skiing for the weekend. Once again, too many things planned at the same time. Some guys never learn.

    Goodbye y'all and thanks

    I quit riding for 30 years. It was shortly after getting married and stayed that way until the kids grew up. I never did lose the itch for riding. It's a good thing I hung out with people that kept riding. I've been back riding for 12 years and enjoy every minute. I've ridden to place I never...

    Wrecks comes in threes?

    Glad you're ok. Bikes can be replaced. Human body parts aren't that easy to replace or repair. Hell of a way to upgrade. Good luck.

    Nowthen Tech Day 4/23

    Yes, I have a trailer sitting in my driveway. It's not entirely mine. I'm in a band that bought it years ago to haul / store equipment. Back when we were playing a couple weekends a month, we got tired of hauling expensive audio gear around in the elements. We also didn't like having to unload...

    Nowthen Tech Day 4/23

    Change of plans for me. I'm not going to be able to make the tech session this year. My middle son bought a house and that's the day he moves in. Sometimes I wish I didn't have a 4x4 truck and a 6x10 enclosed trailer. Have fun guys.

    CFO 2015 Registration Now Open

    Sorry, but I can't make it this year. I have a band gig on 9/12, so I have to go act like a rock star. We even get paid for playing. We haven't had many of those lately. Sounds like free beer, too. Just like it used to be. Have a great time and ride safe. It's a great area to on a motorcycle.

    Sturgis 2015 - Unbelievable

    I don't know how many times I've been asked "Do you go to Sturgis"? My standard answer is, "Yes, but never during the rally". I love riding in the Black Hills. It's a beautiful area and the roads are great. I know why the natives consider it sacred ground. I have to agree with them. I think the...

    Price drop on Klim gear!

    Alex, I have a Induction Jacket (Hi-Viz) and am looking for some pants. I commute to work 10 miles one way and am looking for something I can wear over dockers so I don't have to change at work. I know one shouldn't layer over non breathable jeans. I'm sure I would use a midlayer on longer...

    Nowthen, time for anudder Tech Day 4/25

    It's always great to spend time with the local FJR crew. I'm looking forward to it. I'll bring the parts and the fork oil. If I get to the forks rebuilt, great, if not, that's fine, too. I like doing things in my garage, too. Not sure what time I'll be there. I get to go to the Joe Bonamassa...

    Nowthen, time for anudder Tech Day 4/25

    No Arkansas trip for me this weekend, so I will be at the tech session. Work demands are over the top, so I can't take any time off. It's always fun to hang with the FJR crowd. I have seals, bushings and fork oil, but no the tools for replacing the seals. A friend has the tools, but he's in a...
