My bike had been in the garage, not run for a month (winter) plugged into a trickle battery charger. I rolled it out and fired it up, the low beam headlights flashed on, then were off. The high beams work fine when I toggle the switch, but the low's stay off. I checked the headlight fuse, it...

Hello Canadian brothers and sisters. Thought it was about time to start getting an idea who was coming from Canada or intending to come. There was some thought of meeting up prior to entering Reno and make our presence known. Making this a truly international rally. So have at 'er and let's...

Just saw this thanks to Liquidsilver over on the FJRowners board. It is a must see and I would encourage everyone to lobby their local riding groups to push for its airing during Motorcycle Awareness Month. Here it is https://media.putfile.com/Look-Longer-For-Bikes
