    Is the new Tom Tom Rider FINALLY here?

    I recently bought a TomTom Rider. Took it out twice and am extremely dissappointed. After the 1st time I thought I must've missed something in the manual for toggeling the map auto-zoom on/off but now I don't think so. Most of my riding is for pleasure, not necessarily having a destination or...

    Chaco Canyon

    I've only been out there once, just last year, but it was well maintained gravel at that time. Very interesting place - enjoy!

    Fork rebuild

    "I use the front brake" That is a good point, since moving to the city I do a lot more braking then I used to but... just whinin' - hate downtime for service.

    Fork rebuild

    My '06 made it 23k before I notice a fork seal leaking. I asked the svc. mgr. why this would happen with so few miles and I was shown the bushings which were plastic and damn near completely wore through. I don't get it. I've put 300k on 3 Hondas and never had seals/bushing fail this young...

    1) What year FJR?; 2006 2) How many miles?; 24,000 3) Failed to start after work 4) Type of failure: White plastic thingy appears to have melted around the legs of one of the contacts not allowing it to spring up from the full down position. 5) Ignition replaced by R&S West in Albuquerque...

    FJRF003.0: Ignition Failures on FJRs

    Well, 3 weeks later, I finally brought the FJR home with old ignition in hand and new ignition installed. I pulled the back off to first look and see that all wire connections were solid - they were. Everything looks fairly clean so I'm puzzled but now notice that 1 of the 4 spring loaded...

    FJRF003.0: Ignition Failures on FJRs

    I admit that I didn't read every post, but this sounds like it might be the problem with my '06 w/24k. Went to start it up after work last night and nothing... I didn't notice then, maybe because of traffic noise and bright sunlight but this a.m, after checking the battery, I heard a click and...

    AZ Highway 191

    I enjoyed this for the first time last fall during the week that SWFOG was scheduled to happen and didn't. Especially liked how long the stretch was without interuption of intersections/stops. Did y'all happen to notice the funky graveyard at the south end just above the mine? Caught it out...

    2007 SW-FOG 5/31-6/3 2007

    I enjoyed a break from I-40 last summer by continuing south through Elk City, OK (coming from Nebraska) to 203 west into TX, then 256 and 86 over to Clovis and 60 through NM over to Mtn. Air. North to I-40 or west to I-25 from Mtn. Air are both interesting but I'd say north is more fun to the...

    SWFOG Official Dates

    Thanks for passing on the unfortunate news Doc. I plan to be out and about exploring the SW the last week of Sept. by my lonesome, which is ok since I usually just enjoy my own company anyway, but was looking forward to meeting a few of the gang as I did at the '05 SWFOG. Will look forward to...

    Motorcycle Signal Mirror kits

    Definitely interested. I like both the idea of a driver just to the side and back of me seeing an extra signal and also to help me remember to cancel. Just got my '06 and man, are those indicators small!

    SWFOG

    I'm not much good at planning ahead for anything, so just about any weekend Spring, Summer, or Fall could probably work for me. Really enjoyed last years get-together that Doc Reid put together - wasn't able to do the whole thing, but being local I took in what I could. Sure would like to...

    FJR Sighting--Albuquerque

    I met a guy up here in Rio Rancho a couple months ago who had recently aquired his Silver '03 - lives somewhere near 528 and and just north of Northern, I believe. I'm in the same area with an '05, but just south of Northern. Briefly met another guy on an '03 (?) with IBA plate backer at a toy...
