Now that I am firmly ensconced here on the Colorado Plateau, I am wondering where all of the local riders are in the area. I am in Moab, a very short hop from Grand Junction. I drew a 250 mile circle around my house and I am convinced I am smack dab in the middle of some of the greatest...

It took a few hours of work but the FJR is ready to go again. Oil changed, fork oil changed, brakes purged, new shoes, seat mink oiled, and an hour of hot soapy water to get the crude off it. I completed the front brake switch recall myself. That was the worst task of all. Now I need to get past...

PapaUtah's 2013.5 FJR. First Gen III FJR with documented ECU transplant from the 2014 model year to overcome the cruise control limits imposed on the early Gen III bikes. Mildly farkled with a Russell Day Long, OEM footguards, OEM touring screen, mirror extenders, air wings, Motorrad bar riser...

I cannot speak to the post Gen 3 bikes, but your resident aero management pioneer suggests you try and secure a set of these or repurpose a similar unit from Baker Air Wings and take control of both the temperature and turbulence in your cockpit. I remember the day after I created the mounts and...

I got around to starting the service on my 2013 which I have neglected for over a year today. I know, my bad. Oil change went without a hitch. Filter cleaned and reinstalled, new oil, all good. Then I started on the brakes. I have the ABS coupler for performing the basic test to confirm the...

Absolutely perfect...until the next grand kid comes along and accuses "Papa" of playing favorites...but...Oliver calls me "PapaUtah"...so...can we make it "PapaUtah"?

The reports of MNFJR05's demise are vastly lacking in fact and evidence. It's been quite a while since I have posted or even clicked around this place. Just like coming back home from a long trip away. Hopefully I will have something useful to contribute here in the future. I am going to have to...

The latest video from BrassBully! A 17 year old SS1000 rider and an inventor in the field of firearms. The boy turned his patent into an internship already this coming summer as a freshman...I think he is on the way...

Congrats! I assume a BBG is on the docket next???

Because this my friends is the world within one more generation provided we don't engage in a civil culling of the heard... The last election provided us with the choice between communism and President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. I am not picking either side but I have been...

Good luck on your Father & Son SS1000. Jack and I had a great time when we did ours a couple years ago. He was a tad luckier... was on our pretty well kitted out FJ-09. We thought we had everything handled....but the seat position was a tad off relative to handlebars for him. At 800 miles he was...

Apparently a swamp cooler for your helmet... https://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/02/01/are-hothead-this-motorcycle-helmet-air-conditioner-might-help.html

I think the boy will be preparing his residence for his internship this summer in Iowa. He scored a paid internship as a freshman engineering student. I think his invention and patent got his foot in the door as a freshman. Normally they give the paid internships to sophmores and juniors. So...

MNFJR05 will be there on the Metallic Monster...again...

I remember this from back in 2010...

Next time...

So much for "However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will...

This my friends is the future...

Used to be 16 of these shows nationally....down to the last 7. I went Saturday here in Minneapolis and the show managed to underperform my already low, low expectations. With motorcycle sales crashing (-14%YoY) in almost all niches, it is not going to be pretty in the next few years. The virtual...
