    Shuttle launch!

    We were lucky enough to receive an invitation to the launch of Discovery, STS-131. Here are my photos from the launch, taken from 3.5 miles away. Hope you like them. It was the most spectacular, awe-inspiring, patriotic event of my life. Yes, it was a huge pain to get there and back, but it...

    FJR Backgrounds

    Uhmmmmm, well, the ride in the snow wasn't planned, and as such I was riding on the OEM Bridgstones that the FJR came with. We were attempting to ride up a mountain pass, the temps were in the high 30's when we started. When they got to 34, we turned around and went back down the mountain, to...

    feeger's trip across North America

    Very nice ride report. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to post. Love your insights and your "interviews" with small town folk. Be safe!

    Mauricie National Parc - Quebec

    Cool ride report. Can you believe this Texan has been to most of the places you went to? Including Mt. Tremblant. I only wish it had been on a motorcycle instead of a car. That is a gorgeous part of Canada and I am happy you got to ride it. Let me know if you ever head this way.

    Thoughts on Premier sport touring rack

    Good stuff, highly recommended. Plus, your tail trunk will sit as flat as possible, which helps with center of gravity, aerodynamics and in my opinion, looks much better. Get the Givi mounting kit, it is around $16 and includes the hardware to mount a Givi (or JC Whitney clone ;) ) directly...

    2009 KLR650 on the showroom floor

    Yep, you can lower a KLR quite a bit, and as you can see from the picture of us two-up, the suspension sags quite a bit when you climb on, so you lose at least two inches from just sitting on it. My passenger is Yolanda, my son's mom. She really liked going for a ride on the KLR (her first...

    Cheap ass farkles.

    Way to go! Great penny-tech farkles. You should see what guys in the KLR-650 community do to their bikes. And they take pride in out-doing each other and coming up with the most clever and *cheap* solutions. One example, for a top trunk, the Rubbermaid Action Packer. $18.00 at Wal-Mart.

    2009 KLR650 on the showroom floor

    +1 on Happy Trails gear. Well made and nice folks to deal with. Made proudly in the USA. Change your doo-hickey (I've yet to do mine) and farkle away. You really don't have to change much to make this a capable dual sport ride. Here's my KLR. I love that thing! The fun factor and value just...

    Yamaha FJR Touring Windshield

    Hair dryer and Goo-Gone adhesive remover. You can get Goo-Gone in many grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. Mine took me about 10 minutes of peeling the little pieces.

    Michael Jackson is dead!

    I am glad he is gone. Seems like the media has forgotten that he was investigated and charged with sexual abuse of children. He paid millions to the kids parents to hush them up. More than once. He was a sick phuck and I'm glad he is dead.
