    Trip to: Moonshiner28 - TOTD - Cherohala Skyway - Blueridge Pkwy...

    LOL!!! Florida drivers are not slow.... we bitch all the time about snow birds who turn on the blinkers and go to a crawl when it stars to drizzle, while we are hitting 85 in heavy thunderous downpours, Northeners from GA and up don't know how to drive in the rain! I must admit that the best...

    Trip to: Moonshiner28 - TOTD - Cherohala Skyway - Blueridge Pkwy...

    Excellent advise everyone! Thank you so much! I am revising my flight plan to include some of the suggested roads, however, I am trying to not do the same road more than once, so it is a bit tricky to do it all in one sweep without repeating. I'll post an updated route when I figure it out. The...

    Another Dragon wreck and death

    Very sad story. As I am planing my first solo long distance ride, I am looking to do the dragon, and this story makes me feel the reality of the danger out there. The cruiser guy was being cautious and applied the brakes before the curve, but that caused him to be hit from behind, he is now dead...

    Trip to: Moonshiner28 - TOTD - Cherohala Skyway - Blueridge Pkwy...

    Hey there! I am planing a multi-day trip on my FJR (my first one!) from the FL space coast to the Tail of the Dragon, passing through some of the must-ride roads around the area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    FJR on gravel and fire roads

    I watched the whole video with a sickening feeling, all I could think was "why?" "Why would anyone put a state of the art machine like an FJR to such torture... Intentionally?" Those were freaking goat trails at best! That's like mud-bugging in a Ferrari. Oh well, at least he washed it.

    So That's What My FJR Sounds Like On The Highway

    Installed the VStream last night and rode the bike to work today. The noise and buffeting reduction is significant, this shield is much bigger than the stock on length and width; but the top edge raises to just cover my line of sight smack in the middle of the road. I still have to take it on...
