A couple of things on this topice from the lovely state of Oregon. I am sort of an expert on these since I currently am going to court on the 26th of May for my fourth camera ticket in 24 months. Yes, when you drive 35K-40K miles a year in Oregon and pretty much every town now uses these things...

Ok guys, just a little FYI. A friend and I did this ride about 3 weeks ago and the road was BAD!!! Really Bad!!! I'm talking flatten the pipe's on the bottom of my buddies Ducati ST3 bad. Kidney beating, suspension testing, nut busting bumps and dips in the road. In addition, the road to Windy...

It looks like there is a fair chance that we won't see any liquid sunshine on Saturday. Anybody interested in riding? I'm thinking Clackamas river highway, breitenbush over to Detroit... Thoughts?? Ray

I don't post on a regular basis, but always read whats the latest "going on's" in the FJR world. I don't know what it is, but this year it seems I have heard of so many crashes on and off the site. Not only involving FJR's but other riders. It seems like every weekend I hear of a motorcycle...

Have you checked out Brake-a-way cruise control? Its the best on the market..made in Tigard, Oregon. I love mine!!

Carl, First and foremost, I hope you heal up quick!!! Thank God it wasn't worse!! Second, I'll give you a little info that can or can't help you. My sister was in a very simular accident but in a car. She was in the position of the car that hit you. Even though my sister and the cops could...

Here's the deal....This has happened twice now. I got back from a four day, 1600 mile ride three weeks ago. The FJR ran great the entire trip. When I arrived home, the bike went in the garage and has been sitting every since. It needed new tires, so I took them off and had the tires mounted. The...

Hey BlueFJr, I've been wanting to ride that route for some time...Any way you can do it Friday instead of Thursday? Ray

Check this out...

Prior to having a seat made for me by Rich's Custom seats in Seattle, I used a gel ped. No sheepskin. The gel ad was an improvement. However, if you are planning to ride all day I would recommend having a seat made for you. It was the best money I've ever spent on my bike. Ray

I actually already have a Rich's Custom that I wouldn't trade for anything. I couldn't imagine that ride without it. Even with it, just sitting in the saddle that long is tough

No pics, had to put the video camera away due to the rain in the first half, and then it was just go time to get home...no stops except for gas.

My ass HURTS!!!!!! Hit some great roads though. We left Coure D'lane, Idaho at 6:30am. Gas and go stops only, no lunch (just snacks at the gas stops). We went south on 95 to Palouse over to Colfax, south @ Dusty to Walla Walla, 84 to Arlington, then the famous Condon, Fossil, Antelope, Madras...

I'm looking to purchase a J&M Integratr IV system. Please contact me if you are looking to sell one. Thanks Ray

I guess I'll get in on this mix. What I find interesting is that if you read any books on expert riding, for street or track, you will quickly find that after line choice in the corner, the next most important part of the equation is body position on the bike. Starting with your head, then your...
