I just picked up this thread because I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would love feedback. I love, Love, LOVE my PR4 GTs and have gotten ~15k from the rear and ~20k from the front, but I don't tend to do a lot of slabbing. Fujin came with new Conti crap that in 3000 miles has already worn to the...

I'm mainly going through Moab, so I might or might not actually hit Arches or Canyonland, unless the urge overcomes me, which it often does. I figure this will be about a week-long trip, so some things might be bypassed in order to fit everything in!

So, I wrote a blog with the whole details, such as they are, but tomorrow morning, I'm on my way to Santa Fe, just ahead of the next wave of storms. I'm coming from Portland and would love to meet up with folks along the way. The goal is Winnemucca tomorrow night (Martin Hotel dinner FTW!), Moab...

Thanks for the feedback. That's interesting because, to my eye, dark background with light text is easier...go figure. I'm not a UX guy, but I know a bunch and tend to listen to 'em since most engineering is user antagonistic! I've reverted to black on white, though my design side kinda hates...

So, to be the contrarian here, I ordered a pair from Amazon a month ago. I'm on my 2007 Gen2. The liners from Bestem don't fit my saddlebags. They appear to be off by a little bit in each direction. I can cram the bags in, but lose volume and damage the piping. I'm returning them today and...

So after my question the other day and an exchange with Ignacio, I've been cleared to post these. My wild dream is to get to the point where my writing and such pays for my hobby. Feel free to comment. I'm happy to take any criticism. It's just what I've started doing...

Just wait for what's coming...it's POURING on the west side and they say from 4pm until 6am tomorrow with gusts to 50 in the valley and they're saying up to 75 in the passes?! Oregon Spring has most decidedly sprung...

Ignacio graciously PM'd me and after reviewing what I'm doing, said it was ok to post, so I'm going to do so in a separate thread. :-)

So, for many reasons, I've started vlogging and blogging on sport-touring. I'm just starting out, but I was wondering if there's a specific policy, written or unwritten, about posting links to my own blog. I know it's self-promotion, but I'm hoping the content is sufficiently interesting to be...

I got back into riding on an ST1100 that wasn't mine, but I was the chauffeur to the owner. My first bike of MY modern age was a Thundercat, too. I've owned two, in fact (1st and 2nd gen). I did buy another ST1100 for myself, but after two years, it became clear that the ST just wasn't capable...

I'm the ride leader and road captain of a nascent local riding club, The Collective. We host a ride out of See See's Motorcycles every Sunday at 11am with KSU at noon. On good days, we go all over from the Gorge to the West Hills to the Valley. Generally it's around 150 mile ride, medium pace so...

I've ridden ST1300s and that's actually why I've chosen the FJR. More sporty. The other thing is that Honda appears to be ignoring the ST line in the last decade. You just can't get the same equipment on an ST anymore. Where is the upgraded, electronic suspension? That's the most ugly example...

I posted this on the other board, but I thought someone might find this interesting... So, I set out this morning to ride from Portland area to Leavenworth, WA, Seattle, and Ocean City. Things went a little pear shaped and I ended up home. Here's my final route. I've been riding an ST1100...

I haven't used my motopump on Fūjin yet, but on Saoirse, my ST1100, I never had issues and I've used my motopump to rescue quite a few folks over the past two years. It just feels more solid to me than the compact alternatives. It's good to know that the glove box power is insufficient. Thanks!

I'm new and late to the party, but I've really fallen in love with my Icon Raiden DKR boots. They're not quite "technical", but they have more armor (even D30 in the tongue), are warm and very waterproof. I'm still in the process of crowbaring my sense of perfection so that I can post a video...

As the FNG around here, I doubt I'll need anything by then, but I'd love to meet other FJR owners and learn a bit about the bike. :-) I'm really interested in 'eye of god' lighting installs that won't cost 1/6 of the acquisition price.
