Back home after 250 miles of slab with Louis! Another fantastic EOM in the books...thanks to Wayne, Gerald, and the rest of the team!

For those who follow along in the Facebook FJR group, this is old news, but I wanted to share it to the collective here. This past weekend, I took my '15 back to the dealer I bought it from (Capital Powersports, Wake Forest) for its 600 mile initial service. I could have easily done the service...

Peer pressure (all of you ES owners, but mostly Bob ) finally pushed me over the edge; I pick up my new 2015ES in the morning. I'd been looking for quite awhile, who hasn't, and kept talking myself out of them until today, lol. This will be the first bike I've ever owned from mile zero. I'm...

After years of running with a rack, I think I'm going to take a step towards a top case...the only problem is that I'm a top case newb and I can't decide on whether I want the E52 or E55. Some comments at Revzilla seem to indicate the E55 may have a quality control issue, but it is a nice case...

So last week, my boss gave me a new GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition as a bonus, thinking it'd be great to film some rides (he's very supportive of my riding and appears to live vicariously through it). I've never spent any time filming anything apart from some technical screen cap movies explaining...

The "Long Way Round" ride series, with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, just appeared on Netflix instant yesterday if anyone's interested. The show is pretty entertaining and worth the watch. Can't help but think of some of the epic do-more-with-less ride reports I've read in ADV when...

If you ride in the Fayetteville, NC area, watch yourself...there may be a nutjob with a thing against motorcyclists on the loose: One rider shot dead - https://www.wral.com/motorcyclist-found-shot-in-fayetteville-street/12124017/ One rider hit by car...possibly related to the above -...

I had the opportunity to get back down to Florida over the Christmas holiday to visit with my mother and other family, some of whom I hadn't seen for years for one reason or another. The weather was chilly and the holiday traffic would be brutal...perfect riding conditions. Not so much a ride...

Spotted a 2up silver FJR heading west on River Road, north of Lake Gaston (NC) today while I was heading east; we passed at around 2-3pm. Both of us were stuck behind slow movers in the long no passing zone, lol. Friggin awesome day for riding today....70 degrees, partly cloudy. Tomorrow should...

From the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground Facebook page...occurred just south of their bridge crossing. Solo rider ok. No real explanation about what happened yet, but I think it's clear that thing is not built for water crossings... :D BRMC Facebook

Selling Brakeaway throttle lock, $140 shipped CONUS. Retail is $209. What you see in the photo is exactly what you'll get although there is a 1/2" bar extension piece for it that I didn't include in the photo for some reason (you'll get that as well). As reminded by Dr. Joe below, if you have...

I don't see a thread here in EOM for 2012 yet, so here's one... Home safe after around 6.5 hours. Left with Bob, Jay, Mike, and Heidi and took a nice twisty route up to I-40 and slabbed it. We split up at Greensboro. Apart from a freeway closure outside of Durham, it was a pretty fast sprint...

https://www.wral.com/news/local/wral_investigates/story/11225951/ - Drunken Mo-ped Drivers Dangerous Pretty interesting article and report. Mo-peds, in NC, are generally thought of as primary transportation for the drunks who lost their driving privileges since no license, registration, or...

Someone was grumbling about a general lack of EOM-related pics, so I'll post up mine from the other FJR home. :D I have the full set on my Google+ profile here: https://plus.google.com/photos/101050833804099223867/albums/5656631037834612465 Heading to EOM on Friday, stopped at the Veteran's...

https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/04/25/video-released-in-rear-end-tollway-crash/ The rider slowed up (smoked the rear) for stopping traffic, but the car behind him didn't...and rear-ended him. Sent him flying into the car in front then he bounced off and to the side of the lane...very lucky that...

Found this via STN, motorcycle taxi service is starting up at LAX and in NYC: https://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/dx/usa-lax-and-nyc---a-motorcycle-taxi-service-starts-up.htm Looks interesting; Gold Wings and Spyders with optional trailers. Bluetooth helmet setup for passenger and rain gear...

Dunno if anyone noticed (or mentioned it already, quick search turned up nothing specific...if so, please lock), but it looks like FJRGoodies.com has been completely revamped. The V-Strom guard kit is now listed as well.

You can break out the shorts for the daily commute to work and be comfortable doing it...yay! :tease: There'll perhaps be a few more 30 degree mornings, but they're quickly slipping away. You northerners haven't got far to go. ;) Hmm, I need to break out some boot polish or something...

Somebody flipped the switch or something; saw a mess of FJRs while out on my 400 mile cruise around central/eastern NC today (first time this year I've seen some while on a day run). Were you one of these? US98, around Bunn, 1 FJR heading east. US64, east of Ramseur, 2 FJRs heading east...
