    Bird strike

    My 2013 is a killer too. 4 so far. They have an unnerving tendency to get hammered right into the vent at the base of the windshield and end up in my lap as they get spit through the vent tunnel. I have relocated my GPS over the winter, it now sits in front of that vent between the...

    We will have to conduct a little GPS recon at NAFO and review the top speed recorded by participants GPS units that have said feature to identify the miscreants.

    GoPro *Is it worth it?*

    GoPro Hero 3+Black user here. I usually run mine on a chest mount. Love it and the video quality is awesome. Editing everything into something usable is the key. No matter what software you use it requires time...

    Broken down, needs help - spider problem?

    Sounds like you need to track down a Brodie harness or build one to put a permanent fix in place. Good luck!

    Valve Theory 101

    I checked the valves on my '05 at 30K and 60K. I traded it off with 82K. Between 30K and 60K I had 3 of the 8 exhaust valves that moved .02mm from the 30K values and 2 of the 8 intakes that moved .01mm. Radman couldn't detect a change in the others. He was a good mechanic. I took his word...

    NAFO Day Trips

    Depending on the routes you take you may have a chance to take it going north and south...either way is awesome. Going southbound you get to be "drop side" in some of the steepest areas...a slight glance to your right and you get to look straight down several hundred feet. Ouray to Red Mountain...

    You can stop in Telluride and have the locals take you part way up in a Jeep to see the falls from above. Great view of Telluride also... https://www.tellurideoutside.com/4wd-tour As for the pass...take a gander and decide... If you are going to do it on the FJR let me know! I will be there...

    NAFO Day Trips

    Those of us with slight OCD are already planning our July trip into a little slice of FJR heaven. I have had the luxury of riding many of Colorado's scenic routes over the years. Here are a few of my favorites that make for an easy day trip with stops for food porn and sight seeing in the...

    HD makes a "Sport Bike" well almost....

    I enjoyed Harley-Davidson© and their dance with Buell. They have done very well in NHRA Pro Stock Bike. The reason for that success is lost on most people. Back in the day when it was still truly Pro Stock, the competitors in the class were required to use parts readily available from the...

    HD makes a "Sport Bike" well almost....

    A gathering of those faithful to The Motor Company© bears a significant resemblance to any Star Trek or Stars Wars convention one may venture too. The only real difference being the costumes the participants are wearing. I would hazard a guess that many of the participants may very well be the...
