    Russperry, those look like atv trails...and atvs might struggle...beautiful vistas though...a "road" too primative for me though...

    Depends on what side of the aisle you are on...one side and that little bugger is just a skin tag...the other side and you are correct...-6 months will really help lower the average...

    I think we determined that Jack was easily the youngest at 17 and the next closest were 28...yes, they were definitely outliers in the age distribution.

    NAFO - Get Home Safe peeps!

    Jack and I are home as of 4:30pm Monday. 70 miles of pea soup fog out of North Platte and then 70 more miles of rain from just outside Omaha almost all the way to Des Moines. The boy got a good dose of the ugly side of the ride today. I can't say thank you enough to all of you who made Jack...

    Father & Son SS1000

    The Father & Son SS1000 - The Review We got started fairly early, 5:06am on Monday, and headed out from the gas station were the manager wouldn't witness for us, but the 50-something lady clerk said, "I will. I have done a couple of these." Apparently Ankeny Iowa is a regular launching pad for...

    Father & Son SS1000

    Bikes are prepped, bags are packed...we move into our launch position tomorrow afternoon. We have made a slight change in plans and are leaving out of Ankeny instead of Clear Lake Iowa. Shortens Monday by about 100 miles but should help get us through Denver in the early afternoon instead of...

    Anyone changed fork oil on a Gen III yet?

    Every winter it gets changed. Goes in crystal clear, came out a silver gray the first time...the last two times it came out with just a little haze...easy job. Have stuck with the stock Yamaha recommended fork oil.

    Father & Son SS1000

    I have waited for this day for along time...I get to do a SS1000 with my 17 year old son, his first. We will make the attempt on our outward bound leg heading to Utah as we make our way eventually to NAFO. The planned route is a tad over 1100 miles, from Clear Lake, IA to Moab, UT. Our scheduled...

    NAFO 2016 Official Thread

    Just dropped a few bucks on a set of new PR4s for the FJ-09 and PR4-GTs for the FJR...installation this weekend...gives us a week to scuff them in before we leave the 24th. BTO had a deal online for sets of PR4s...took them up on it. The rear on the FJ-09 was down to 4mm after only 1800...

    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    Best helmet is the one you will wear. You can buy the absolute best rated helmet but if it fits like crap you will not be wearing nor enjoying the ride. While I enjoy the star rating I would rather see a distribution of the scores for all of the helmets. I think in reality they will all cluster...

    Any lawyers out there? Maybe trade a farkle for advice?

    We now live in an age where nothing is one's own fault and someone else must pay. Sad, sad, sad....

    Update on black bike week in Myrtle Beach

    I tried to watch the video, but lacking subtitles, I was unable to discern the language or dialect being spoken. Whatever it was they appeared to be enthusiastic over their participation in whatever they are pursuing.

    McCruise Control

    I recently installed an MCCruise unit on my '15 FJ-0. You can read all about it here... https://fj-09.org/thread/3310/cruise-control-installation I think it will be a tad easier for you if you are using their controls. I went all out and used their patch harness so I could use the SuperTen...
