    My First NEW FJR!

    Just want to announce the arrival of my FIFTH FJR! This one a leftover 2023 that had a very nice markdown at Roseville Yamaha (yeah, Roseville Motorsports now, but it's still Yamaha to me). I was having some grief from the low-milage 2009 I bought last year and wanted to be able to depend on...

    Hi there, I need help and am new

    I had that mysterious Fast Starter Syndrome happen too and it was a real WTF moment--it was exactly as RossKean described. Started it after several days of sitting idle and for whatever reason I shut it down within seconds--might have even been by accident, I don't remember. By now you've had...

    Tire sealant? Roadside flat fix

    I never heard of this stuff, so I googled it. After I got past the first few hits about a Jackie Chan movie, I found their website, which begins: "Ride-On Tire Protection is a line of gel-like tire sealants . . . " Thanks for the heads-up. Guess I'll pass.

    Going to See the Eclipse?

    We all know about the eclipse coming in April, right? A LOT of us will be right in the path of it, or within a very reasonable distance. You do NOT want to blow it off; it will be one of the most amazing and memorable sights you will EVER see! Don't believe me? Just watch this short TED...

    More luggage options

    I happen to have the same bag(s) RossKean linked to, and they're perfect. Cost is very reasonable, easy to access all the contents, and absolutely waterproof. The smaller one doesn't block my mirror view, the larger one does somewhat. I just have to lean a little farther when checking the...

    Florida's tallest waterfall

    The oil well thing reminded me of something I recently learned: for those who've been around the Lost Coast in Cali, you could recall seeing the community of Petrolia in Humboldt County. Happens to be the site of the first producing underground oil well in America. Hence the name. And nearby...
