    Black Hills Rendezvous FJR/DUAL SPORT/ADV Bike - "Non-Rally" in the Black Hills June 20-23 2024 Steak Dinner and Registration now open!

    Hey there Big John :) I'd love to join in - the last time I tried to join this trip my KTM chewed up its clutch in Moab on the way. But alas, my only niece is getting married on the 22nd and my sister would definitely throw a shoe if I missed it. Hope you all have a great time, and you avoid...

    Dave Higgins / Highlander

    Another of the many forum members I met on Wheatie’s ride back in 2011, I was lucky enough to see Dave and Diane several times over the years. He was a great guy, and I was lucky to have known him.

    Ray Slocomb, FjRay - Now on second honeymoon with Patti

    I’ve been away from the forum for awhile and was so upset to hear of Ray’s passing He was in the crew when I first met the FJR Forum crowd that assembled for Wheatie’s tour back in 2012(?). I know he helped so many people on the forum, and was always good for a laugh and a smile. He...

    Reuben Run #10

    Just a report on how things turned out re: smoke. Thursday night the air was terrible in LaPine.  You could barely see the fast food joint on the other side of the highway.  I think the AQI reported by Apple was over 300. Friday night we had a pretty good rain (thanks to FJRays orders) and it...

    My Track Day Summer Tour!

    Thanks Zilla - that's the kind of no-nonsense recommendation I need!   Yeah, I was thinking that if I want an RV for a trip I could always rent one - it eliminates all the carrying costs (registration, insurance and storage), and when I'm done with it, it goes back to the rental company and I go...

    My Track Day Summer Tour!

    I've got two dedicated track bikes - an '08 GSXR750, and an '06 ZX6R.  For this trip I towed a 14' trailer with 3 motorcycles inside - the two track bikes and my FJR for when we needed transportation.   There is one company out here on the west coast that rents track bikes - its called Feel...

    My Track Day Summer Tour!

    Some of you folks out there might know but last year I started ruminating (my big word of the post) on an idea to tour the US and attempt to get to as many new roadracing circuits as possible, with focus on the MotoAmerica stops.  My wife and I left on July 8th and got home last Wednesday...
