    Off road playing in the dirt...

    Well, I have a Gen 1 KLR. While, it isn't the ideal offroad bike, it will do almost anything you like, with the exception of extremes. With a small investment in some upgraded suspension, you might be quite surprised what it can do.

    WANTED: FJR riders who like GUNS!

    As long as it's unloaded and the ammo/magazines are locked in your sidecase, you will be fine.

    Texas Registration of a D & H - bought FJR

    For our conversation, I am only referring to used bikes brought in from out of CA, private party or dealer it doesn't really matter. With that said, I will also say I know you are an LEO, so what I say here you will already know, but some others might not. So forgive me I'm not trying to...

    Texas Registration of a D & H - bought FJR

    Sorry, I didn't answer the second part. You have to have the VIN verified by a policeman, and they also check to see what the smog sticker says. It has to comply with CA emissions. Straight Federal is no bueno.

    Avoid a tire changer (Am I out of my mind ?)

    I've been reading this thread. Along with another poster, I had an HF tire changer. I had the Mojo blocks on it too. I could never got it to work right. I ended up getting rid of it, after being excited that I could do my own tire changes. I watched the videos too, but I was never able to...

    Screwing up a coolant change

    Yes. After you fill the radiator, start the bike and let it run. Once it gets up to operating temp, the fluid will start to bubble. Leave the radiator cap off during this procedure! This will allow the air to escape. The fluid will bubble out some. Once it has done this, then you can shut...

    California Lane Splitting Guidelines Now Being Developed--UPDATED 5/18

    I have done it a few times on the freeway during bumper to bumper. Yes, there is always some person that sees a hole open up and they move over to get five feet ahead. Usually this is done w/o a blinker in my part of the world, SoCal. I went pretty slowly. In fact, I was going too slow for a...

    Everyone's always talking ATGATT

    To add more fuel to this, I was at my local m/c shop getting a new tire. We were talking about gear. He, the owner, said he always gives his $.25 lecture to new people that come in. He tells them to take their index finger and lightly run it along the parking lot asphalt for 25'. When they...

    Everyone's always talking ATGATT

    That's hilarious!!! Maybe I was a bit out of line calling the man and idiot, so my apologies for that. However, as noted in this humorous, but rather somewhat true scenario above, imagine the policeman that comes to your m/c accident and sees how lucky you are not to be terribly injured...
