After riding across Newfoundland at night.. I doubt that the deer or occasional moose in the UP or Wisconsin would be much of a concern to any of them. Besides, the chances of hitting deer on I-69 or I-94 in Lower Michigan is vastly higher than the chance of hitting one in the Upper Peninsula...

If I were riding from Nova Scotia and I'm NOT!!!!! I'd stay on the Trans-Canada to Sault Ste Marie and cut 100 miles off of the direct route to the Finish. Wonder if there are more bonuses available in that part of Ontario and in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan than there are along the 401 and...

The Ferry sailed from Channel-Port Aux Basques at 6:30 ADT. That would be 4:30 CTD. If the crossing takes about 7 hours, I'm guessing that the bikes will be moving again by 1400 ADT or 1200 CDT. That should give them 44 hours to ride the 2,182 mile "Direct Route" and arrive at the Checkpoint...

Over the years, I've had Widder heated gloves, Original Gerbing's heated gloves, Gerbing's newer heated gloves, and Warm & Safe heated gloves. Nowadays, I use Warm & Safe heated glove liners with Olympia 3 season gloves. For my hands, the heated lines are warmer than ready-made heated gloves...

I’ve worn Aerostich Jackets since the beginning of the company, but recently decided to get a jacket that would provide SERIOUS airflow in Michigan’s summer heat and humidity. When I opened the box and saw the Dakar Jacket I really liked the way that it looked, and couldn’t wait to try it out...

When I picked up a spare set of lid panels for my Givi V35 side cases, I decided that it would be a very unique look to have them painted to match the bike. I never considered having anyone other than Gary paint them for me and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of his work and the...

If you're tired of not being seen by all of the distracted drivers on the road and want to be a lot more conspicuous, you should consider installing a modulator on your high beams. I've used modulators on every bike that I've owned since 1992 and they do exactly what they're supposed to do...

I stopped at the Iron Butt Memorial in Gerlach, NV today and read a fantastic note that was left on the bench by a FJR1300 rider. The note was dated June 25, 2014 and was not signed. If the person who left that note is on this forum and reads this, I'd enjoy getting a PM from them.

BUMP for new riding season.

Part # 10998M which is silver anodized unit with a 1 1/2" shaft. The stem nut needs to be polished a bit to look as good as new but, the unit worked flawlessly on my 2006 for almost 80,000 miles of use. $30 shipped CONUS. PM me for PayPal address. Here are the mounting instructions...

This was removed from my 2006 last summer and was originally modified for connection to an auxiliary fuse panel with fused, switched power that was located beneath the seat so the inline fuse was removed. If you want to connect this directly to your battery, you'll need to install an inline...

This entire system was removed from my 2006 last summer. JMCB-2003 Handlebar-Mounted CB Audio Amplifier System that’s waterproof, looks good and works flawlessly. It’s a 40-channel CB radio, has a NOAA weather band, and a rider headset connection. It’s a 6-pin system that requires the...

The Skyway Delrin Sliders have faded to gray in some places but that's somewhat normal for Delrin as it's exposed to the elements. The Leo Drolet Slider Highway Pegs show some wear but there are thousands and thousands of miles on them and many bugs died when hitting them. I don't really want...

The problem was completely fixed by replacing the left brake rotor. As little as it may have been bent, the rotor carrier caused the problem and it has now been fixed. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and suggestions.

I can't get to this again for a few days but the brake fluid is fairly new and I use Speedbleeders. I'll open the reservoir cap and tie the lever to the grip over night. If there's an air bubble in there, that should get rid of it. I still believe that an air bubble problem would exist if I...
