I made it down to rally central this morning to meet a few of the riders and wish them luck in their upcoming adventure. There are a few of our FJR brethren already on site. One of our esteemed riders showed up to the rally on an FJR with a less than optimal rear shock residing in the rear...

Well, it is about time The Motor Company gets around to delivering motorcycles...as the eminent former CEO of The Motor Company Jeff Bluenstein once said, "Sir, at Harley-Davidson we do not sell motorcycles. We sell a lifestyle and an image. The motorcycle is secondary in the transaction."...

From the referenced article comes this comment... "Harley-Davidson is miles behind Ducati in technology terms," he added. Thank you Captain Obvious....

Well, I assume it will be a match made in heaven. The Motor Company has had a great track record with acquisitions in the past. Buell, MV Augusta acquisitions have been nothing less than stellar smash hits...Based on that experience, if you want a Duc you better get one now...

There is one rider who lives just around the corner from me...WOOHOO!!!!

If any of our FJR brethren and sisters need any technical support prior to or during the rally in the Minneapolis area my garage is available and is stocked with most of the tools needed to extricate the FJR from most bad predicaments. My home is located 20 minutes south of the rally hotel in...

I may bring up my fork oil level tool and get my fork oil change out of the way...that will be a new maintenance item most have never seen up there...

Even going gonzo requires a break or two in there...take the time...don't fret...hydrate, pass on the greasy, starchy, sugary foods. Have some entertainment cued up, audio books even. Play mental games on the road...yep, anything to keep your mind active and alert. Track something then do all...

He needed to be a darksider to really do anything impressive...sorry. Closed course...yawn...support staff....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

When I was in the market for the FJ-09 for my son in late 2015 I went to the local dealer 2 miles from my house. I gave them 2 print outs from 2 other local dealers showing them a price of $8900 for the 2015 model I wanted, the same one they had on the floor. I told them to match the price and I...

My best is 1,880 in 23 hours 45 minutes. I was a tick over 79mph total average and a wee bit over 88mph moving average. I did that on interstates between Reno and the MSP area in 2006. I think he should have no problem carrying 15 gallons of fuel and a complete support team at his disposal on a...

This is just from the recent rains...the snowmelt hasn't started in earnest yet...this will be an ongoing issue for some time to come.
