    I hate to be an internet bully and publicly one-up someone. But, I MISS YOU MORE

    Me thinks that rider is going (back?) to Homer to catch a boat home. Ideally cruise ship with open bar. NFW she gets to Greenville via bike in remaining time. Tough, anyone up there swung for the fence and they've got to be exhausted. Kudos to their bravado.

    On the streets of Reno, Eric Buskell (COEB) started out at the rally at 7/1 odds and the money continues to flow his way, currently down to 5/1 odds and many think it will fall even further. https://renojohn.com/bike/iba2019 (corrected typo) The COEB is making the bookmakers nervous. He's a...

    Total Knee Replacement - my experience might help you

    Wow. Phuck this getting old stuff sucks Don, but it does beat the alternative. At this hour my knees are good, but as you know it can change fast. When my time comes, I'll be taking your advice, I hope to avoid some of the cost and wondering if I can have first dibs on buying your old...

    COX Rad Guard

    I had a very-bummer radiator failure due to road-shrapnel putting a hole in my 2nd Fastest Generation FJR ...it is very likely that a radiator guard would have avoided the issue. Happened during a Cognoscente event, I was on the clock and having a great rally up until that point. I've since...

    Route Suggestions from Crater Lake--by Car

    This is a good base plan that has nice options that you could fine-tune into a GREAT scenic trip. You won't have a lot of dilly-dally time so you might as well get on good roads. It also depends on when you're leaving Crater Lake, and where you're spending the night before. If you're getting...

    Mr. Frick. Been watching these two closely, and it looks like they're going to keep me up all night. I've been running a lot of numbers, they're not sniffin' many flowers. They're also very close to each other. With the devices not pinging at the same time and a delay it gives some really...

    Interesting, but no bonus collecting while riding in a boat. At this stage I think riders want wheels in motion gathering points.

    At the end of Leg2, a Honda was beating *all* Gen3 riders ..yet that Honda was trailing multiple earlier gen FJRs And a Harley sportster was leading multiple gen3 FJR's while trailing just two. The Gen3 performance (lack of) continues. Bike has been out 5 years now, when the earlier...
