Check out the stock suspension adjustments before doling out the big bucks. The front end has a lot of them and quite often they are nowhere near where they ought to be if they haven't been reset since new or have a different owner/operator. You just might find improvement if not total satisfaction.

I've ridden my KTM dirtbike across our lake dozens of times but it's only about 90 ft. deep. Never saw or had any problem with it day or night. You just have to do it at the right time of year.

Likely damage the fuel tank paint if you tried that on a FJR.

Midrange all your suspension settings and use your head to go from there to your liking a couple clicks at a time. If they are badly mis-adjusted for your weight and/or the tires under-inflated it'll handle like a pig a low speed. Handling shouldn't be a concern at any speed but certainly...

I've raced that track more times than I can count and 'died' just about as many times. All on Trophy TT for Playstation fortunately. Massive credit and kudos to those with the balls and skills to do it for real.

Finding last minute motel rooms within a hundred mile radius of Sturgis at that time can be dicey what with all the people coming and going.

Before retirement I'd have a 109 mile commute every Friday and Monday. I liked the Monday ride in better than the Friday ride out, almost made it seem like I wasn't going to work at all.

I hope the biker lives to shake his head at himself somewhere down the road without hurting anyone.

Wow, did I ever have that wrong !

That bike is like an old dog with a new pup in the house, it knows it's being replaced but it's not going quietly or gracefully.

That kind of thing is all well and good when brand new. Looking 10 years down the road after constant exposure to UV light, exhaust heat, cleaning and lubrication chemicals together with the impact stresses of actual day to day operation and this may not be the bike you want to be the second or...

OK, I may be back in business. Did ionbeam's Test 2 on the ABS 5 or 6 times. Got a dimly lit 1hz flashing abs light while in test mode. Checked for codes and I had abs 11. Cleared it and went back to test mode, now brightly lit 1 hz flashing abs light. Both front and rear functioned as described...

Got to ride a few times this winter and all was fine. Took it out a few days ago, it was 80 degrees here, and the rear ABS didn't work when I started doing my spring braking exercise at the mostly abandoned Hanger Row at Coldwater airport. I was surprised how easily the rear locked up. Brought...

Was my thought too - looks really busy for no good reason, I doubt even white wheels could save it. Now the MV Dragster RR..

That was his cue to put it in 'Nothing crazy' mode. My '05 doesn't have modes but the wife insists it always be in that one every time she gets on.

I've got a 2006 ticket on my motorcycle map hanging on my bedroom wall right below the lyrics to "i've been everywhere,man". 95 bucks paid to the Sweetwater Circuit Court courtesy of Wyoming Highway Patrol. Pretty sure I was on my way to the Reno FJR meet. Was just thinking -before I could stop...

They likely pegged you for a cross dresser on a BMW. Don't worry about it, one day they'll probably find out what the three tuning forks represent. You're still a cross dresser though.

Ah, good old #102, heard it just yesterday although you tell it better.
