Since I am about to embark on Alaska Adventure #3, this time around affectionately called the "Trip Through the Frozen North" I decided I needed a better place to carry extra gas. This is a 16 day, 6500+ mile trip that departs from Seattle that will touch the Arctic Circle and will visit North...

The world is full of good people, this forum even has a couple as well. Today my Bushtec blew a tire at speed and once I got her whoa'd down and out of the line of fire - I had a bare rim on my hands. I looked around and it was me, the Mrs., and a bunch of sage brush. Oh yeah, and what...

I pulled my Starcom off and replaced it with J&M because my riding buddy uses CB. This kit was working fine, purchased everything through Bikeeffects. What I have: QTY 1 StarCom1 Advanced main unit 3 HSEX – 01 1 MUS -04 1 Zumo Cable 1...

As everyone knows, April Fool's Day only comes around every four years to mark that special day when the spring equinox lines up with the North Star. Whether or not this is a conincidence - this year April Fool's Day "conincides" with the brightest predicted display of the Northern Lights seen...

Colleen and I are going for an afternoon ride tomorrow. Destination Fremont Troll. Never been there, going to check it out. We look forward to seeing you if you can make it.

Really, I just wanted to beat Sportsguy to the punch. But here is the info just in case this was your only source of vital motorcycle show information: https://www.motorcycleshows.com/seattle or just click this clicky.

AuburnFJR just posted our route and spotwalla link on another post. I did not want to gum that one up with a route question. So: For those intrepid explorers out there, I need some advice. Our route has a stretch of gravel in it on a road called CR-1668. It looks to be roughly 12 miles...

That's it, just wanted to say I washed the bike. Never had really done that before, this one hasn't been washed since Marcus (Ahchiu) dropped it off for me 2 years ago. Here is my take: Pretty much a boring job. Tedious. Exhaust pipes are a bitch. Too many nooks and crannies. I should...

I found myself face to face with a Marion County sheriff who seemed to be an angry in general. I was doing 65 in a 65 zone (in the rain, two up, pulling a trailer) when I came up on a car in the fast lane doing like 63...there was room to pass on the right (wrong side) but I pulled up behind...

This is a Cee Bailey’s windscreen off of my 2008 FJR. It is tinted and is the reverse contour model. It is the mid-height model and measures as 23” tall and is 17” wide at the top which indicates it is a +2 model. I am selling only because I have used a Vstream in the past and liked it, so I...

I am about to purchase a JMCB-2003B-DU (rider and passenger unit) and the rest of the cables and accessories to take my FJR to its happy place. I am checking here first before I scrounge around other sites or end up with a new one. Any one looking to unload a system? Once I embark on this...

On Thursday, I decide to take the FJR to Portland for work and only find it won't start AFTER I get every bit of clothing on and side bags packed. I'm pissed now, change duds, take the car to PDX. So, now I remember that the weekend before my bike has trouble starting on my way out to one of...

I wanted to take the new new Kawi Ninja 1000 for a little three pass ride but I was conflicted because I had planned a scientific study around observing hogs in their natural surroundings. Opportunity presented itself though when a friend and Harley man offered to make the loop with me. An...

I am looking for someone who has a Bushtec hitch for their Gen 1 bike. I have a hitch in hand that I think may fit a gen 1, but need something to compare it to in order to know.

Well friends, next weekend is the one year anniversary of an accident that threatened to be a defining moment in my life and was close to being the ending moment. I find that certain topics become wearisome after a while and the topic of this accident is becoming one of them. I have not let...

Unexpectedly large picture: This is a brand new bike that has been released to the US market this year, built along side the Z1000. A capable touring bike but on the sportier side of things. Had to have it, sure didn't need it. I have owned it just for one day now and have 235 boring...

I know this isn't the best forum for addressing the thornier issues in life, and that a solid consensus is hard to come by in a group this disparate. Yea, I fear even bringing up a tire discussion, dino vs. synthetic, or the vagaries of the YCCS. But a couple of items have vexed me such that I...

Ladies, Gents, and Niehart, I am interested in dragging a trailer around on some trips and wanted to see if we had any forum denizens looking to get rid of one before I searched the wider market. Please send me a PM if you have one gathering dust and needs a new home. If you have any words of...
