The best thing about our '07, besides that color, is that sticker on the side. She has taken us places. Since that pic was taken AL, ND, MN, WI, and MI have been colored in. And the forums are a what inspired and enabled.

Just a couple things I’d sure like to know: If you have a Gen2, such as my 2007, that DOESN’T run very poorly at minimal throttle openings, what does these measurements look like? Bike on center stand, trans in neutral, engine running- At idle-vacuum in inches/hg? Vacuum at 3000 RPM steady...

Riding around makes national news events more interesting. We mentioned our close encounter with bison in our ride report from YFO in 2017. It went better than this girl’s By the time we left Reuben Run 7 in 2018 we had seen some barren countryside, but crossing the Oregon Outback was an...

Perfect weather (this time). Reasonable admission. Odd classes. Big purse. Could be interesting.

I know this was mentioned at the time but I just watched the Nat Geo movie "Free Solo" I can't believe he did this right in the middle of YFO 2017. We may have ridden past as this was going on.

I ran up to Johnson City to complete a forum based sales transaction yesterday. Crossing Roan Mountain was so interesting that I went back and did it again.

I don’t have bonafide stats, but the trend for far too long is decent weather during the work week and soggy gloom and despair on the weekends. I’ve not gotten but a single spectacular ride in so far this year There are bad thoughts passing through my head. Contemplations of drastic actions...

The 1911’s do Reuben Run 7, And find a little more adventure than sought First, some “before” pix The first 2 ½ to 3 days of this event are supposed to be uneventful. Eat up a lot of miles to get to the good stuff. The “extra”, minor though it may be, adventure starts right off the...

FJR with flat tire on Oregon 31 about 30 miles west of Paisley. Not mine. String plugs not working. Suggestions??? 864-871-9314

How to move this from Laurens to Travelers Rest?

Buy Gen2 stuff, feed the hungry. A few Gen2 items for sale. Proceeds go toward the 1911’s Reuben sandwich fund (Reuben Run 2018-not a real charity) All items excellent to as new except where as noted. Prices plus actual shipping costs. Paypal ok (send as gift or add 3%). This may be posted in...

Well, Hungry Mother spring 2018 didn’t go exactly as planned. Washed out roads, mudslides, two man u-turns, an ex-cop among us doing a dine-and-dash (maybe he hasn’t been retired long enough to get used to not eating for free in exchange for “keeping an eye on the place"?) and one of the...

When we got back from last year’s YFO, we had a LOT of pics and video. In pretty short order we used the stills to post an account of our adventure in our ride report “The 1911s do YFO”. It took nearly a year, and a Christmas gift of editing software from the kids, to figure out how to do...

Leaving upstate SC the morning of Saturday May19. We'll ride some great roads getting to Hungry Mother State Park, Virginia. Camp Satuday night. Ride around Jefferson National Forest Sunday. Ride home Sunday evening. I've reserved one of the three tent sites still available for the date so If...

Be careful folks! About who you are talking to when you’re recounting your FJR adventures. It’s rare for any of us at work to take more than one week of vacation at a time. I’ve never seen it happen in the building I work in now until I took over three weeks worth in one chunk for our trip to...
