Kaelaria, thanks for being the guinea pig on this mod! I'm not sure it's anything I'll do, but I still want to say thanks. Great video. Burns1

OK, registration complete. I'll see you all in July! Woohoo! Burns1

After the heat issues I had last Summer coming back from Spearfish, I'm looking into getting a mesh jacket for Summer/3-season riding. I've been looking at the Olympia Switchback. I really like the way it fits and the fact that the liner can be worn over or inside the jacket for rain...

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to reply! I'll be handing him a list of things to do on his new to him FJR. And yes, I am a bit concerned about his skill level. He's only been riding for a year or so. And not a lot of miles. This is...

So the son of a friend was just given - yes given - a 2005 FJR! It's definately not a pristine example but it runs and drives. My question is.... what should we do/check first on this thing. Like I said, it's not n terrible shape. It's got something like 79K on the odometer. It does appear...

So I'm curious, has anyone done a DIY light kit for this case? I'm a really cheap bastard (Scottish heritage) and I have a hard time pulling the trigger on another ~$150 for the Admore light kit and bike-specific cabling, after dropping this much just on the V47. It just seems like it would be...

This one probably has too few miles for you and might be a litter older than what you really want, but thought I'd at least advise you about it. https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/mcy/5485549177.html Burns1

I've been loving the weather here in Colorado lately. 200 miles last weekend, 200 the weekend before, 300 the weekend before that! I'll deal with a little cold now. I figure I got some good riding in so it's only fair. Besides, tomorrow will be in the 50's. just bundle up and ride. Just...

Ok this is really funny because I've been thinking of posting this exact thing. I saw these videos and thought the it was interesting to hear their opinions too. I'm not sure what they were riding before but the shock and enthusiasm was funny. Burns1

Well it wasn't today but over the weekend I got in a ride just before the snow started. We (myself and a buddy from work on his 'Wing) did about 425 miles. We went South to Pueble, then east to La Junta for lunch. After lunch we went a bit further East and then headed back North. The temps...

I thought this was an interesting article that kind of highlights something that a lot of us may take for granted. I doubt anyone here would give much of a second thought to a woman riding a motorcycle. More power to this brave young lady...

So has anyone else noticed that the Montrose County Fair and Rodeo is that same week? I bet "someone" from here could win the pie-eating contest. I noticed that on last year's schedule they had a "toilet seat tossing" contest. They also had a Moto Show that referenced big bikes. Sounds like...

I took her for a short 130 mile ride. After two months of not being able to get out of the neighborhood due to ice in the street, it felt Good! I did have to ride on the sidewalk half-way down the block to get past the ice, but it was well worth it. Temps today didn't drop below 45 so it was...

Well, my room is booked. This will be my second get-together with people from the forum. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you jokers and seeing some of the ones I met last year in Spearfish! I promise not to drop the bike this time! I will say, being from Colorado, it's interesting to...

Sorry Redfish, I didn't take many pictures. I was too busy riding. But the funny thing is, all you gotta do is check out some of Pant's pictures. I was on Independence Pass almost exactly a week before he was. I wish I had thought of meeting up. And HRZ, that's exactly the way I feel. I...

...is going to get me thrown in jail!!!! On my commute home I look down and I'm doing 90 on the 4 lane divided road. It's just too damn easy and fun. Want to go 45? Just twist your wrist. Need to pass this slowpoke? Just twist it a little further. Want to go 90? Just twist it a little...

I just had the same thing happen to me. Idled like crap, accelerated fine, had a miss at constant throttle. Check the battery connections. I thought for sure it couldn't be that because I never lost the clock or anything like that. Opened things up and sure enough the negative cable was just...

Well now, don't I feel like a idiot. Finally got around to checking the battery connections and, sure as sh*t, the negative screw had come completely loose and the cable end was basically just sitting on top of the terminal. Amazing how smoothly it runs when everything is tight. Could someone...
