    Sunday Ride

    So far, 3 of us are up for a long ride Sunday 11-2-08. The original plan was to take 128 over to hwy 1. Head south and come back via Skaggs Springs. The weather calls for 60 percent chance of rain. I'll watch the weather, and we'll ride somewhere that it isn't (hopefully). I'll be on my trusty...

    Does that mean the Flyers station is on the right side of the eastbound freeway?? What time do we leave the station?

    Anyone up for a ride Sunday June 8th?

    Sarah and I are on! Another option is to go west to Iowa Hill to Colfax to Nevada City to the covered bridge at Bridgeport. Whatever the ride, it's your gig and we'll follow !!

    Memorial Day Sunday

    It made me a little nervous. I don't drink period ( no judgement in that statement ) so I really kept the speeds down from there to Alice's. They were all on their own from there. Most are co-workers and a few of them are really into that bad-ass image thing. It confuses me though, because all...

    FJR Stock Seat

    I modified mine by purchasing a piece of hi density foam rubber from Delta Rubber. The stuff is one inch thick and REAL dense. I pulled about 3/4 of the staples out and cut and contoured the foam to fit UNDER the original foam. It's worked very well. There was plenty of material left to...
