    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    I *think* the high that moved the remnants of Harvey thru cleared out the humidity as well - it was mid-80's here (North Metro-ATL) and at highway speed it almost felt cool! Sun was brutal, but as soon as you moved into the shade, it felt great. Same today, might go out on bike again later...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Good man! I was considering smoking something but I'm solo this evening so decided instead to braise another lamb shank. The brinkman was my first smoke - I think I paid $5 from a yard sale. It was enough to convince me to get a "real" smoker. HEAVY side-box style, then an electric which I've...

    Feels like my FJR is jumping a cog in 2nd gear

    Exactly.. just a moment of loss of power, almost like something killing the ignition for a fraction of a second..

    ABS light continuously flashing

    This is exactly why I will never have less than TWO bikes, and ensure one is always operable! That's how I justified my 2nd to my (ex-)wife, now I don't have to justify to anyone!

    Feels like my FJR is jumping a cog in 2nd gear

    re: the video, I'm pretty sure that's what mine does as well, just a momentary cut in power, only in second, and only when WFO (or near). It happened once, so I immediately decided I should not let it happen again. Since then, I think it's happened one more time - I've been riding "around" the...

    Feels like my FJR is jumping a cog in 2nd gear

    Yeah, probably previous owner didn't make solid shifts into second, causing the wear. Like I said, I can force mine to slip, regardless of how solidly I put it into 2nd, by giving it the beans. So I just avoid that..

    Feels like my FJR is jumping a cog in 2nd gear

    Yup! Mine has it too.. just learn to not give it WFO. I reckon it's caused by "poor shifting habits", you have to be firm with ol' blue gearboxes, but it's not terminal if you work around it.

    Eclipse 2017

    Many people I know commented that they expected more, wasn't that impressive. I know some that went North but stopped short of the path of totality. Even my totally-not-a-geek girlfriend and her daughter said they can believe how most people that stayed home weren't impressed, because the...

    Eclipse 2017

    Took the day off work and trekked a couple of hours North into the path of totality, got to experience two minutes. I planned ahead, had a gorgeous spot all to ourselves, and had virtually no issues with traffic (thanks to my knowledge of the area on two wheels.) Took my girl and her two kids...
