After doing some research, it looks like Yosemite and Kings Canyon areas may not be open for the season until the end of...

    Shipping a Motorcycle

    Some motorcycle shipping tips based on my experience: Make sure the bike is palettized and properly secured. Our shipper insisted on us driving the bike onto their pallet and holding the bike upright while they secured it to the pallet. Look over the bike for anything that protrudes, aerials...

    Aerostich Darien

    I bought a used Darien from a forum member and I, too, will attest that it is more than just a jacket and it's worth every penny. Good thing it came without tags attached or I might have pulled your trick.

    Cancelling Darwin's Law - Ignition Interlocks for Motorcycles

    This made me realize that two of the three Facebook Groups that I belong to are FJR 1300 Enthusiasts and Whiskey, Bourbon, and Scotch Enthusiasts. Oh well, if you are going to belong to something you might as well be enthusiastic. (BTW, while I enjoy both, it is never at the same time - never!)

    Utah/Arizona Trip Plan Help Please.....

    My friend and I just spent a week in that area on a much broader swath. I will ditto the Page, AZ. reference and the stop and short hike to Horseshoe Bend is well worth it. Earlier reference to 12 is a good one IF you have time. Panquitch is a nice place to stay if you go to Bryce Canyon...

    dropped my new fjr!

    Raider Bill, I've got you beat because it only took me three days before I learned the lesson. Fortunately I was at the EOM in Wytheville, VA. and quite a few FJR's had the same "Specialty" markings where they've been dropped as well. Like they say, you worry less after your first drop...
