    Target Fixation?

    What, all two of them? I don't disagree with your assessment, but never underestimate the *********gedness of the stereotypical road rider. (I'm convinced those "Share the road" signs are meant for them and not motorists)

    3 new tires... in two days --- UGH!

    Yep, and I no longer even carry them on the bike. Tried it on two occasions, and while both times it was enough to get home, I still had to stop every 30-60 minutes to check the air pressure and top up.

    Tires

    mine will (down in Colorado Springs). Something around $25/wheel if I bring it in already off the bike. There will be a $3 tire disposal fee...can't remember if that's included in the $25 price or not. Sadly, it's been a while since I've needed a new tire.

    If all else fails, there's a liquor store right across the street

    Less than two months to go! We have five rooms left in our reserved block. Get them while you can and before they release them! I just spoke with them, and they said if you're still thinking about it, they would prefer you go ahead and reserve and you can always cancel later without penalty.

    Chasing down the Penigale with the FJR

    If you take the wheels off yourself, Rocky Mountain Cycle Plaza spoons new rubber on for ~$25/tire. At that price, I can't justify a No-Mar, even with two bikes/riders in this household.

    Stepping down as SW-FOG rallymaster for 2014

    Hi all, I wanted to give ample notice (and an opportunity) that after this year, I will be stepping down as SW-FOG rallymaster. I've started a new position at work several months ago, and it's keeping me a lot busier, not to mention the increased travel. I simply don't have the time anymore...

    F/S 2008 FJR1300ae w/<9700 miles - $8900

    It's a common mod so you don't have to push the button every ride in order to use the handlebar shifting controls

    I'm sure we'll all be crude, but it'll have nothing to do with the Spyder

    Rear shock linkage maintenance

    I'm guessing it happened because the front wheel turned. Be sure to chock the front end next time.

    Sport Touring Shootout

    Wait, you mean a US Canadian based motorcycle rag said the (only) new-for-2013 motorcycle was the best of the bunch!?!?! No way!!!

    nope, reading comprehension is fine (at least this time ) Restaurants weren't ready to discuss details of the meals, ergo, I don't have a price yet. I updated the website to temporarily remove the paypal instruction section to reduce confusion (you're not the first to ask)

    160 days and counting! So I just got a call from the Gateway Inn. Turns out there's two more events happening that same weekend (a wedding and some sort of local Salida event) which equates to a limited number of rooms available! Since we're a returning group, they've offered to block off some...

    Who has the biggest ears?

    Didn't know this was an outstanding question....it's pretty clear who our reigning champion is

    Rolling Colorado Rockies FJR Ride July 22-26, 2013; bag the high passes; Estes Park, Leadville, Gunnison & Silverton overnights; no rally fees - FUN!

    I didn't say it was a complete list, just one with some good options ;) I don't ride too much north of I-70, so I'm not sure what that section would be like
