    World Record Attempt For Miles Ridden in 24 Hours.

    Concerned that he's riding a BMW out of warranty? I sure hope Guiness puts it the in the "closed course "record category, much different than IBR records, (which I feel are the "real" records).

    YFO 2017 - Yosemite and Beyond - June 1-3, 2017

    Here's a clip I shot awhile back on my 05' as a refresher for some or primer for the newbys that'll be visiting our fine state in June. Not to rub it in, but Old Priest Grade and the Little Dragon are 20 minutes from my place. Tours of a couple other "special" local roads can be had for a cold...

    YFO 2017 Yosemite Group Ride Planning Thread

    Pants, follow Airboss' advice, do not miss Hwy 191 (the old 666). It is a great twisty road, but top off before starting out, it's a ways between fuel stations.

    Black Hills Roundup II 27 June -1 July 2018

    With this much notice, I'll bet Exskibum can get his KLR running for some SD dirt duty. After checking the trail maps John linked, the hook was set. Looks like the Mrs. and I will be there with our truck camper, Jeep and Beta dual sport. Looks to be an epic place to trail ride!

    Too Much Personal Information

    Thanks for this AJ. A search for me and the Mrs. came up empty, but the site had way too much detail on my kids. I put the kibosh on that info post haste.

    Crunched by a Semi

    Glad you're physically unscathed from this. Had a vehicle been up your butt, you'd most likely had to bail off and have a very "short" bike left.

    PCH to South then North thru central California

    I totally agree, Hwy 1 south of Leggett must be ridden on 2 wheels to really appreciate what a fine bit of roadway it really is. Yes, filtering and lane splitting help temper the many other frustrating laws our fine state legislators feel they must impose on us.Regarding CHP running constant...

    PCH to South then North thru central California

    Regarding your return northbound, central Ca in the valley is flat and for the most part, straight and boring on a bike. Depending on your exit from SoCal, you could pickup Hwy 178 to Lake Isabella, north on mountan Hwy 99 past Kernville to Hwy 190 to Porterville. If closed by snow, after Lake...

    Mike, are you that old to have actually rented mules, or did you overhear guys chatting at the bar? :P

    This forum was a happier place with his irreverent humor. Really miss that guy.

    Are helmets bulletproof ?

    Riding dual sports in the 70's at Kettleman hills, we decided to leave our helmets at camp and go putting around (living dangerously) with naked domes. When we returned, we found my buddies full coverage Shoei had a .22 bullet hole in it. Pretty freaked out, we didn't wait around for any follow...

    Motorcycle Production Line Video

    The 2:00 mark is what I'm sure my Doc saw during my last colonoscopy, clean as a whistle!

    Hostage of Photobucket

    This! I've been trying for the past couple of days trying to use Photobucket, with multiple attempts to log on (both PC and ipad), finally getting to my Library, only to get kicked back out to the login page when I try to upload something. Glad I'm not the only one. Switching to Flicker or...

    Ahchiu Aerostich "model" ?

    I received my Aerostich 2016 supplement catalog today and smack dab in the middle of the cover looks to be a picture of our very own Ahchiu. Or could it be his twin brother? Very studly pose, against a block wall, naw, probably not him.

    Bigger, Faster, safer bikes.

    HRZ, new avatar is a winner!👍 On topic, Lighter is better to a point. My 279 lb. dual sport is a hoot to throw around in the tight twisties (and of course the dirt) , but I miss the stability of the FJR above about 50 mph or when the wind comes up. My Gen I was nearly 100 lbs. lighter than the...

    07 FJR started feeling "Mushy"

    Penske 8983. Largest single investment I put into my FJR and the most dramatic improvement. You will not be disappointed!
