    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    Nothing else I can add, I only wanted to pitch in my hat for the thoughts and well wishes as I wipe the tears from my face.

    Self driving car hits motorcycle cop

    I appreciate you completely ignoring the link I provided, but your anecdote proves its point. More lanes = worse traffic. I'm not saying traffic is good, I'm saying...no, I'm not saying it, the civil engineers are saying...that adding more lanes is not the answer. More lanes simply mean even...

    Self driving car hits motorcycle cop

    Counter-intuitively, more lanes makes traffic worse https://www.wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-traffic-induced-demand/

    Recommend a Photo Hosting Site?

    Just remember that nothing is ever really "free." And even if it's no-cost, how long do you think they'll stick around, and be as good as you want them to be? Look what happened to photobucket....

    Do it yourself Bike Lift Project that Video

    This was the worst part! He could've added approximately 3792 times more value if he had made the video 20 minutes long instead of 2, and droned on the entire time! /sarcasm

    SW-FOG 2017?

    When I was organizing SW-FOG a few years ago, I looked at Gunnison, and the summer rates for hotels were pretty high. Which is how I settled on Salida, which was relatively close, but with cheaper hotel rates.

    Broken Penske Clevis.

    Hey Brodie, what's a "Penski?" I did go ahead and email Penske just to let them know that I'm aware of the issue, obviously concerned, and would like to encourage them to develop a fix. Got a reply from a gentleman named Eric, who told me they are also concerned, and looking into it with "high...

    Removing/disabling the ABS

    So, if ABS fails, the entire braking system fails? I thought it would mean that it simply reverts to being a non-ABS vehicle, where the operator would need to then manually modulate braking power to prevent wheel lock-up.

    Removing/disabling the ABS

    In case this comment wasn't quite clear enough, I'm fairly certain the implication is that if you're a skilled enough rider that you say you don't need ABS, and yet you say the front ABS engages sometimes with that same skilled riding, then without the ABS you very likely would've induced a...

    SW-FOG 2017?

    Even if he is smarter than he looks, there's still a LOOOONNG expanse between that and Actually Smart.

    2007 FJR for $6499?

    It's further away, but substantially less expensive than the one you found: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/169212-2006-fjr1300a-colorado-springs/ EDIT: I'm also happy to provide my honest and unbiased opinion if you'd like me to check it out in person (I'm only an hour away)

    Learning to turn properly

    One of the things that sometimes gets to me is thinking I don't have the clearance to make the turn and I'll start dragging hard parts. Or scarier yet, I feel good going into a turn, and all of a sudden, an evil highway engineer made a decreasing radius turn and all of a sudden I need to lean...

    Any discussion of the NAFO location in 2018?

    That would technically still be in North America, and therefore qualify as a NAFO...but barely

    How To Upgrade A Yamaha FJR1300 Clutch To 2016 Slipper With Easy Pull

    I'm confused as to the difference between these two descriptors

    Any discussion of the NAFO location in 2018?

    Some of these comments make me think some people don't know what the 50th state really is. And they're mistaking it for the 49th state

    Any discussion of the NAFO location in 2018?

    How about some little town in South Dakota? Maybe August 6th - 12th or so?
