    MotoBike Jack - pick your pig up off the ground!

    Not for me. Sometimes you just need to acknowledge defeat. You can either fall to the ground in the fetal position and whimper like a baby, or light the bike on fire and walk away.

    North to Alaska 2019 - Once there were Twenty now there are SIX

    I want to make one thing perfectly clear. If the trip gets canceled, then I get to keep the tires, filters, oil and all other items being shipped to me. The booze can be shipped even after cancellation.

    Hearing Aids

    I too was subjected to 27 years of converting your tax dollars into loud noises, smoke and occasional carnage. Spousal Unit and our daughter have claimed for years that I need hearing aids. When I retired I saw a Doctor of Audiology in lieu of the normal sit in a sound proof booth and push a...

    Growing up

    You know you are getting old when you have prescriptions that essentially say, take one pill each day until you are dead.

    I kissed a GSA...and I liked it

    I also have a GSA. 580 pounds wet but feels lighter. It is my 11th BMW (counting Spousal Units five) and we never had a final drive issue. BMW seems to have gotten a handle on their FD issues. It is a great long distance touring bike.

    Dumb Assery Rev2, dCarver style

    Well, Don, update is required. How did she do on the test run? All else is of little consequence.

    FJR heading for the Barber Museum

    I could make it in under a month...... it is mostly downhill going. Coming home would probably require an engine rebuild or two. There is a Ural Rally in Custer later this month. Watch out for trailers.

    FJR heading for the Barber Museum

    Spousal Unit and I plan on attending Vintage Days in early October. Hope to see your bike. Barber displays some bikes just as they were received; no cleaning or maintaining done. I suspect yours will be a candidate for that sort of display. They have thousands of bikes in storage at remote...

    Headlight Guards?

    I had a similar experience. After a ride I noticed one of the Cee Bailey protectors was shattered into three pieces. I contacted Cee Bailey to see if the would sell me just one side. They said no, but they would give me a new set for free, including postage. Sad day when Cee Bailey got out of...

    The Hog Phenomenon

    He likes being the center of attention. One of his threads has 57 posts, or there abouts, and he made over 25 of them. Anything that allows him to pontificate is to his liking, so ignoring him is the best solution.

    The Hog Phenomenon

    The Hog Phenomenon

    There was a fellow here who rode a Beemer. He was in the local club and wore ATGATT; seemed like a normal guy. One fine day he sold the Beemer and bought a HD. Gone was ATGATT, he no longer wished to ride with any of his Beemer buddies and became a Pirate in thought, word and deed. Not only did...

    '13 FJR1300 in Montana....

    I am the seller, I waited to respond so that the thread could develop. First, I will respond to the idea that I intended to deceive a potential buyer. I offered to facilitate a fly and ride for any buyer by providing local transportation and hosting him in my home for a few days. I assumed...

    The Hog Phenomenon

    I had a friend who was the BMW dealer in Fairbanks, AK for nearly 50 years. In his late 70s he bought a VRod. He had many bikes, but often rode the VRod. His was one of the relatively few made with a neutral foot peg position, which was a big plus in my opinion. The motor was fantastic and...
