I dropped it. Thankfully I have frame sliders.

YAY!!! CHEER!!!

Same Cool 30F outside and still a nice ride to work.

If I'm on the FZ6 I can snap in and out of turns very easily; move to the FJR and it is big difference. I learned a long time ago to never worry about what the others of my group are doing and focus instead how I am going to attack the road, the turn, the traffic. If the group gets a far...

Let's see, 3 to 4 day trip from Flathead and some neat scenic roads. My recommendations would be HWY 93 South to Hamilton MT which is about 120 miles (from Polson). Then take off east on HWY 38 (Skalkaho Highway) and stop off in Philipsburg for the candy shoppe (if it is still open, have not...

A little over $20 in Oklahoma. And as for the untapped reserves, yes we have them but oil is selling for more $/bbl overseas so companies are exporting instead of keeping it here. There are a lot of reasons for this and a lot of solutions but those get into the political arena. But, as long...

I commute every day to work and I have not regretted the FJR purchase once. Ergonomically while it is different than both a racer and a cruiser it is still a very stable and comfortable riding position. As for two up my wife says that she is no man's decoration so I had to buy her a bike but...

During a nice snowy Butte Montana winter (sometime around January) when I was 17 I bought a 1978 500cc Yamaha street bike. Shoved it in the back of my friend's truck to take it home and when the snow was melted enough I brought it out into the street and learned how the clutch worked in...

Great find and nice deal :)
