    Hello from Ireland

    Hello from Canada. From our visit to Ireland I remember many great roads and vistas around every corner. The FJR is a very capable bike but it is a lot of bike for the roads you will be on. Ride safe my friend.

    Went for a ride today

    Hi Cyclepath, I'm in Sherwood and also have felt the urge to fire up the bike but unless you are going to give it a good warm up and ride it may not be the best plan. Due to health issues I have not ridden but a few kms in about 2 years but am ready to resume riding. Please keep in touch and...

    Going to be a white Christmas.

    We have had snow since November 1st so the issue of a white Xmas isn't in doubt. Todays current temperature is - 30 C or about - 18 F. It is cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table.

    My worst ride to date

    Sorry to hear that you had such an end to a horrible end to what should have been a fabulous trip. I have thinking about getting a high vis vest to wear over my all dark bike clothing. Does anybody wear this type of clothing and do you think it would help.

    Hi from Kelowna, British Columbia Canada

    Hi Bear, I'm in Sherwood Park outside Edmonton. Needing surgery has kept me off the FJR for over a year but looking forward to next year if I'm 100%.

    The Hog Phenomenon

    I love the rant and I listen to the opposition shots as well. Fridays are great when they show up and a little venting gets us primed for the week-end.

    Lunch in Winthrop May 17th

    Great spot for lunch, just a little too far for me to travel for lunch. Rode through there about 10 years ago and the roads make for a fun day.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Finished putting new shoes on the baby. Waiting for a warm day and less gravel on the road for a ride. It will be nice to know that I have some tread on the road.

    The Hog Phenomenon

    It is wonderful that someone can get the pot boiling with a little bit of opinion. Opinions are like assholes, we each get one. However after allowing a Harley owner to syphon a little fuel after he ran out in the Canadian Rockies, I asked that my payback would be his sharing the experience with...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Ok but only because you asked. We have warmed up to -29C or -20F, take you pick. This is without the wind chill. Bustanut joker I put on my insulated pants, hoody, and parka, not to mention two pairs of mitts. After returning from shoveling snow I removed some clothing and discovered 3 lumps on...

    We Have Been Hoodwinked!

    Do you know the difference between a French kiss and an Australian kiss. The Australian kiss is down under.

    Split: Off-topic about haircuts

    The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about a week.

    International seller of used cop shocks?

    I got all excited thinking someone was bootlegging cop tazers. What a great Xmas present they would make.

    FJR Naked Street project

    Looks like it would be a lot easier to service without all the Tupperware on it. Also the weight reduction should increase the performance. Have fun.

    Riding a Motorcycle counts as exercise?

    I also have a fitbit for about 3 years now. An active day usually shows somewhere around 20,000 steps for me but a day riding on my Canam utv will show up to 30,000 steps. The key here is to stay active.

    Cool video of B17 flying out of Renton, Wa over the Cascades

    Took a ride in a B-17 in Phoenix a few years ago. $450 got you a seat and a chance to roam around in the plane once it was off the ground. Not a cheap or long ride but unforgettable. We were on the first flight of the day and got to do the check out walk around with the crew. The flight gave you...

    It's a good day

    Great to hear that all went well with your wife. We take our health for granted until something like this happens, but luckily the health system has taken leaps in treating problems with out of this world methods. Good luck to all.
