Also late to the conversation, but found a new rain suit called Ride Tribe at AIMExpo in Orlando in October. (Google: Ride Tribe rain gear). A one-piece suit of breathable ripstock nylon that goes on quick, over boots, with two zippers. They had a show special and the booth was busy with lots...

I had indicated that I would attend (camping), but my daughter just informed me that I have a conflicting engagement. Hope all goes well!

I'm in, and camping. Look forward to meeting everyone! Coming from Macon GA, an easy trip. Thanks for organizing this!

This Forum has been so helpful in preparing for my trip that I wanted to share my recent experience riding from Macon GA to the foot of the Dalton Highway in Alaska on my 2013 FJR. For pictures and travel notes, please check out my Facebook account (public: Rick Maier). These notes are more...

I visited the Revzilla store in South Philly while on a recent trip. The store is as amazing as the website – knowledgeable, experienced, enthusiastic sales people, and best in class products. The website warns that the store is a boutique and not a warehouse with deep inventory, but it’s...

Really appreciate the feedback! Just took a 1700 mile trip and didn't have any problem, but I took it real easy in 2nd. With long trips planned for spring and summer (CA, AK), part of me wants to trade up to the 2016 as soon as they're available. But with 65K miles, minor scuffs, and trans...

First glitch after 62,000 carefree miles on my 2013 FJR. 2nd gear has a momentary slip at about 4500 rpm, but only if you really open the throttle. Feels like you've hit an ice patch, then recovers. Stays in gear, doesn't occur in other gears or if you accelerate moderately. Found some...

I ride through the Northeast 3-4 times per year and am considering an E-ZPass. I live in GA, so I could get one from any of 15 states. DE looks good (no ongoing fees), but is there a better state? Do you have to mount the device on your screen, just keep it in your pocket or tank bag, or...

Really like Icon Twenty Niner gloves in hot weather. No longer $29, but not much more at Revzilla.

Bought the backrest last year. Pricey but worth it for both passenger and anchoring rear luggage.

Think I'm the only one in Central GA. Saw 1 FJR last year south of Macon. Almost all H-D and sport bikes, with more BMWs as I near ATL.

Really enjoy my Pirate's Lair backrest, for passenger support and securing luggage. Pricey but great design and well made.
