    The Hog Phenomenon

    Feeding the troll what he craves the most, attention and what he perceives as intellectual banter.

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    Being proud of being included in this group is like being proud of being the most virtuous working girl in a brothel.

    World SuperBike 2019

    In the post race interviews Rae has seemed resigned to the fact that the Ducati with Bautista on it is just better than he is on the Kawasaki. He has not shown any inkling of being a bad sport, but he seems a bit taken back that he is easily beating the field, as always, except Bautista is half...

    World SuperBike 2019

    Looks like the World Superbike series will no longer be the Jonathan Rae show. The four time consecutive champion was beaten convincingly in each of the first six races by newcomer Alvaro Bautista. Bautista is no rookie in racing. He came from MotoGP and is a past 125cc World Champion. Good to...

    Oil

    The question is..... is there an oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications that should be avoided? Will cause damage to an FJR's engine? Results in testicular shrinkage? If there is such an oil, then its over use by members of this forum may account for the behavior Abercrombie mentioned.

    One Gallon of Delo 15W-40 dino is $12.81 on Amazon. One gallon of Delo 15W-40 synthetic is $45 on Amazon.

    Oil

    Use an oil that meets the specifications in your Owners Manual. After that it is all opinion and anecdotal information. For heavens sake do not base your oil choice on what you read on a forum.

    2013 FJR for sale

    I just sold a 2013 for $6,750 with just under 42,000 miles. I think his asking price is reasonable.

    Matt Wise 45,000 Mile - 45 Day Ride

    It is the divorce lawyers and settlement that will get costly. In my case, I would need to pay for gas, food and other expenses for two bikes and two people. Having a wife that rides has its cost.

    Deer Strikes by State

    Well, maybe, but insurance companies live and die by properly computing odds. I think they pay people a tremendous amount of money to get it right because if they don't then they go under. I do not recall a major insurance company going bankrupt.

    Deer Strikes by State

    A friend from Alaska rode his bike down to Montana. He was stopped at a traffic light on Reserve Avenue in Missoula. Reserve is one of the busiest streets in one of Montana's largest cities. While sitting there waiting for the light to change he was hit by a deer that tried to jump over him...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Montana just endured one of the nation's most exceptional cold spells on record Ian Livingston, The Washington Post, Published 1:57 pm CDT, Monday, March 11, 2019 There's a kind of cold that's legitimately dangerous. It can causes frostbite in minutes to unexposed skin. In parts of the Lower...

    Damn right Bug. I never saw the deer that hit me. Spousal Unit was a few hundred yards behind me and said the critter came out of the brush in th air and landed a few feet before hitting me on the left side. I ride in a deer, elk, antelope, cow and buffalo infested region. I try my best to be...

    Deer Strikes by State

    Montana has consistently been #2 in the odds measure. Maybe they dont count elk, moose, antelope and buffalo strikes.

    The Parrot, She is Dead

    At dawn the telephone rings, "Hello, Señor Bob? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house in Palm Desert. "Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem? "Um, I am just calling to advise you, Señor Bob, that your parrot, he is dead. "My parrot? Dead? The one that won...

    03 DL1000 Vstrom

    These are good bikes that seem to go for very little. This is a good bike for very little. Much like the one Festar bought upon the demise of his FJR, and he will be riding to Alaska.
