wow. what a fine sleek machine. beautiful!

my hesitation to turn off the engine is that if I needed to get out of a jam right away cuz of a knucklehead move by a nearby cager, I would lose a few seconds fumbling around to start up the fjr. I would want to escape danger asap. what are those situations? it's hard to predict what the...

fyi guys....make sure your battery tender has a fuse in it! I ordered one off amazon and it had just one fuse that was in the battery cables and no fuse in the cord connecting the tender itself to the cables that are to be hooked to your battery. I couldn't figure that out why it didn't work...

I think flagg is right on. I've done wcp, but only in the summer. it's a long pass and risk the road being sanded. plus, piled high plowed snow could melt onto the highway. I would say "no". everything would have to go right, for you to really enjoy the ride. the road will be there in the...

good report I enjoyed reading here in Colorado. as you found out, a place where there a lots of fun roads. my hat is off to you logging all those miles. I trust it was fun for you.

that's good to know. have a safe trip "out west". honk if you're coming thru Colorado.

heck no, I ain't jealous at all.....not one bit......hardly at all.....barely.......maybe just a tad. congrats on the new ride!

enjoy Colorado.....it's a great state to travel about. lots of fun roads.

count your blessings! great news; awesome looking bike; hope you have a fun and safe summer riding.

I put my Nikon and my wide angle lens with cp and cokin filters in my well padded camera bag and put in top case. bungee my tripod on back seat area. works well and I can get most of the shots I want.

just in time for Christmas, too! you've obviously been a very good boy. great seasonal color! congrats on the new ride.

wow. that is cold/hard core des moines. clearly you are a tough cookie. cold here in Colorado for sure, but at least the sun is out. not much chance for melting. when the snow and ice are on the road, the rocket peacefully snoozes on the Launchpad in the garage with the battery tender...

what a great trip; you guys did it up right. great photos capturing the coastal beauty and fun!
