    Feej always runs perfect. Until recently.

    Upon arriving home one day last week I took a shortcut through the yard because a visitor was blocking the approach to my garage door. At the driveway/yard transition I hit an unseen rut. Due to the fact the yard is sloped there and my leg was about 12 inches too short to catch it, down we went...

    Electronic interference?

    I have noticed at times while driving my 2008  Jeep that when in close proximity to a semi truck, my TPM system goes out. It eventually comes back after distancing myself from trucks. This has happened several times. Only while interstate driving. My 2015 Challenger never does that. I'm guessing...

    Feej and the pirates

    First of all, I don't care what anybody rides. I rode a Harley 40 years ago, That's just not me. And I never push another rider to their limits. I wear a helmet and protective clothing. Even at today's 86 degrees. Anyway, every so often it happens that I come up  behind one of the local...

    Latest utility vehicles

    Tried the search function to see if this was being discussed somewhere and no hits. What kind of UTV do you own and for what purpose? How reliable is it? The equipment dealer I work for carries 3 lines of UTV's. Cub Cadet (China) Cushman (A lot better made) and the new Hustler MDV is coming...

    Sorry Boss, I'm going...

    While I have only met a few Forum members, I really appreciate this forum for the wealth of knowledge and the members of it. I recently took off a Saturday for the Moonshine Lunch Run. This was my fourth time attending and really enjoy the ride, the food and the thousands of friends that...

    Searching out a meeting spot for FJR's after Moonshine

    I saw recently where Cav47 (Josh I believe) posted about him and some local guys were gonna do some scouting. At the last minute I decided to join in. I met Alan C, RJAMT, Cav47 and Blackandwhite at the Casey, Illinois wind chimes. Some chatting and we went for lunch. 5 different color FJR's...

    AME grips, positive service.

    When I bought the FJR it had a set of these heated grips installed. They have the pushbutton on the grip and not remotely mounted in the wiring like the new version. The left one failed. I checked Ebay and called different dealers trying to find just the left grip. I did not really want to buy a...

    Skully helmet. Anyone seen these yet?

    Ran across a revolutionary helmet. Heads up display and 180 degree rear view camera. Anyone have one of these or checked them out yet? There is potential in this. I gotta try one.

    Venture Royale

    Been contemplating purchasing a late 80's model Venture Royale. Just because, 1, It's a Yamaha. 2. The V4 intrigues me. And 3. I want one. Who out there still rides one of these jewels? Other than making sure the air compressor system is working correctly, what else should I look for? There are...

    New riders and road hazards

    I truly believe those of us that have ridden for years are much more vigilant about objects ahead in the road. The object of this hopefully will be to enlighten a newer rider to things they have not worried about before. Gravel on the inside of a corner can put you down. In farming operations...

    Dealer warranty re-work?

    I was just wondering if the motorcycle dealers are better at warranty work than the car dealers. Do you have to take it back again because they did not fix it, or are they pretty good about getting it right the first time. Part of the problem with car dealers is that the mechanics getting paid...
