    Lake Okeechobee 1000 - November 18, 2017

    Ha. I bet you see some sights at that Pilot at night. My office is close by and I stop in the day time, but try to be clear by dark. I don't know anything about different radars, but the Pahokee police are PBC sheriffs. So I would think you could run into that K band radar anywhere in Palm...

    Lake Okeechobee 1000 - November 18, 2017

    Nice job guys. I do a lap around the lake every once in awhile, but I can't imagine doing 9. That's a lot of riding. At least the weather was nice. You guys sure didn't waste any time if you were done by sun up.

    Lake Okeechobee 1000 - November 18, 2017

    Oh, and watch your speed in Moore Haven. It's 35 over the bridge and all the way through town. Often HEAVILY enforced on the weekends.

    Lake Okeechobee 1000 - November 18, 2017

    Man, this is right in my back yard. My office is a couple hundred yards from the Pilot station. My house is right off SR80 in Belle Glade. I promised my wife I would do some "honey dos" around the house tomorrow. We are still doing hurricane repairs. However I might just have to sneak off and...

    Adventures in the Southeast US

    Excellent Road Report. I haven't had the privilege of meeting you Tyler, but I feel a connection to this report. I see several friends I really like to ride with - Vic, Rob, Marie. I see lots of places I have ridden and enjoyed. Thanks for the report and pictures.

    Florida RTE?

    RTE = Ride to eat. You know in the past we have always had the best success with someone throwing out a date and location. Someone want to step up to the plate?

    Gold Wing update....any news?

    One of the Honda dealers I frequent use to have a sign that said "Tires bought here installed free, except for on Goldwings." Thanks guys for the discussions on an FJR vs GW. I have always wondered about that. I have a Honda VT1300. I ride it around Florida some, but would never take it to the...

    Gold Wing update....any news?

    Never been on a gold wing. What kind of lean angle do they have? I am guessing somewhere between most cruisers and an FJR?

    Gold Wing update....any news?

    I like the looks of that bike. If I rode two up I would be interested. I don't ride two up.

    Florida RTE?

    Bumping this back up. I miss doing these Florida RTEs. We had a pretty good string going for awhile. Due to some health issues, hurricanes and a couple long trips I haven't been around. Now I am ready to ride again. Anyone up for a RTE?

    dropped my new fjr!

    Ok, second drop of the 2013 FJR for me. This one I have no excuse. It was not in the mountains, it was in Florida on a perfectly smooth, dry parking lot. Pulled up behind my wife who was stopped on her bike. Little too much front brake to stop. I was going very slow but just got crossed up. It...

    Cancelling Darwin's Law - Ignition Interlocks for Motorcycles

    I'll put one of those on my bike if they will put apps on cell phones that kills them if they are in a moving vehicle.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    I don't always have a big crowd on the same weekend I feel like smoking. And for me if I am going to take the time to cook long and slow I am going to fill the BBQ full. I have a small weber but I can put on a couple of boston butts. Why cook one when in the same amount of time and fuel you can...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Honestly I think my best pulled pork comes when I don't do a full smoke. 3-4 hours on the smoker. Then wrap in foil and put in a 225 oven till done. Nice and tender but still has a good bark and smoke flavor.

    Tip-over sensor

    I dropped mine once. It was shut off when I got up, but I think it actually stalled. It was just about a 0 mph fall over. I didn't get a code 30 or any kind of error warning? It started right back up. 2013A if that makes a difference.

    New Yamaha Touring Bike - Venture

    I was hoping it was going to be an FJ -07. Then maybe I could talk my wife into getting rid of one of her cruisers and getting a proper touring bike. I have no interest in an 800lb pirate ship. I got on a Vulcan one time. My first though was I might as well just take the car.

    I will NEVER buy a new FJR again

    Strange - I just went to the Yamaha website and did a inventory search on 2017FJRes. It showed 3 in the state of Florida! Can that be correct? The dealer I frequent is more of an off road and four wheeler dealer. Street bikes are not that big a part of their business. I am pretty sure the...

    dropped my new fjr!

    Oh, the worst thing about my drop is my wife has it on a GoPro video. She has not shown the video to anyone yet. Not sure if she is being nice or she is embarrassed by my language in the video.

    Florida RTE?

    Not going to be able to make this one. Some family duties call.
