    ANNUAL PNW Tech meet #20 July 7th, 2018

    Can I bring my forks and have somebody help me with changing the fork oil? And if there is anything else I need to change/replace in my forks let me know? That would be great

    Iphone not charging from glove box outlet

    First let me say that I'm not dissing your phone :) but.....you're running google maps and the phone is in the glove compartment? How's that working out for you? Second...there is no SpotWalla app. Yes there are apps that upload your GPS data to SpotWalla but that's not quite the same...

    Positioning to check tire pressures

    I have had the FOBO installed for over a year now. You will either need the phone visible or connected to your bluethooth helmet speakers. I have my iPhone mounted to my left handlebar. I also have a Sena that I use to stream my music. When there is a warning I get both an audible warning in my...

    FJRForum Official 2015 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis thread

    To clarify, what I suggested is if you're going to be promoting a product on this forum I'd encourage you to be involved in the forum as an FJR owner and forum participant. We really appreciate FJR owners first and foremost. Enjoy the best open seat on the internet. Iggy - I meant no...

    FJRForum Official 2015 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis thread

    Oh I totally get that. But read the thread...not everybody is really quiet about the personal SPOT threads they have access to. I just think that there is a happy medium to showing what they are doing and giving too much information. The reason for not showing total SPOT info was so that the...

    FJRForum Official 2015 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis thread

    I'm sure this might be a contraversial post but........why not open the spot feed to everybody so we know who is who. Not only do members on this forum have 'private spot feeds' but from the daily reports its not too hard to tell who most of the riders are. What needs to be done is NOT post...

    Spotwalla iOS Tracking App

    Here is a link to one of my latest rides using my app. Posting this just in case there are some people that aren't all that familair with SpotWalla. https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=d7c25574591e18ff9

    Spotwalla iOS Tracking App

    About a year and a half ago I started working on an iOS app that would track your location and upload it to SpotWalla. I already owned a SPOT but a couple of friends that I rode with didn't so i decided to try and write an app that would do it for them. I have had them help test my app and...

    Time to come out of the closet

    No more "borrowed" gnomes for any of my future trips. I had a lot of fun doing it and I am so glad the owners got so much enjoyment out of it but I spent too much time making sure that I got pics with their gnome instead of taking pics with my gnome. I look back at the pics I took for both...

    Time to come out of the closet

    Well....since you guys asked nicely...... I had spent the night in Reno and was going to ride to Vegas so I got up around 8:00 am and headed out. I decided to stop at The Mustang Ranch to see if I could get a girl to pose with my bike (I actually got the idea from a post on this forum). So I...

    Time to come out of the closet

    Blu by you would be correct. My first motorcycle was a 1988 Honda VTR 250 Intercepter. The baby blue and white model. I came up with my username for two reasons, my bike had blue in it and whenever I could I would pass people and blow right by them. Young and dumb back then. Hopefully I've...

    Time to come out of the closet

    Thanks everybody for the kind words. On my long trips I have always taken my Steelers gnome and taken pics with it. It is pretty easy to get people to pose with it. Most of them just look at you funny and go along with it. I have only had one person tell me no. A female bartender at Casa...

    Time to come out of the closet

    This could probably go in the Ride Report section but it has a tie to the PNW so I thought I would post it here. Quick bit about myself. I have owned my 2007 FJR since 2012. Every year since I have taken it on a one week trip. 2012 - Grand Canyon. 2013 - Mount Rushmoore. This story will be...
