Post Covid much of my winter trips to more foreign beach locals has been curtailed and I’ve ended up in Mesa AZ this winter. Brought one of my bikes down with me hoping to do some work on her and get some riding in.

I have been AWOL for quite a while. Surprised to see Regional Rally threads ‘demoted’ to the regional discussions sub-forum. Those rallies were always the best thing about being a part of the FJRForum community.

In preliminary planning for a ride to the Black Hills of SD in May. Looking for Recommendations/Advice on accomodations, eateries, roads not to miss, etc.. ‘Thanks in advance for your input!

If you are a Canadian like me, you like to have the option to buy bikes out of the US, but all these travel restrictions are making that a lot less attractive than it used to be. That will change, but if you want to buy a bike for this spring, I may have an opportunity for you... I am currently...

Pulled a fork off of my ‘Parts’ FJR to send the inner cylinder to MEM so she can have her fork repaired. Thought I cracked the torque on the lower bolt before starting to disassemble, but now it just spins the internals as I try and remove it. I had turned off the cap and drained the oil so...

Heading that way in less than a month. Girlfriend got a "really good deal" on a barge trip (i'm not big into Cruises) from Auckland, NZ to Sydney, AU. I told her I would rent a bike and meet her at each port of call, but she's insistent that I ride on the boat... and riding from NZ to Australia...

Touching down in Phoenix from the 9th to the 16th. Interested in getting a bike for at least a couple days while I'm there. Looking for recommendations for bike rentals and "must do" day rides. Meeting up with some other forum members for a ride would be cool.

Jeez, it seems like just yesterday that I shovelled my beloved "Cherise" out of the snow for the first ride of the season. Although we were negligent in hosting a Spring Tech Day this year, I think a good Fall Tech Day might redeem us. How does the third Satuday of October sound?

We kinda made a spur of the moment decision to rent a motorcycle in Vermont after my pillion does some business in Ottawa. Renting a car to drive down to South Burlington where we will pick up a bike from MotoVermont for 3 days. Dates are October 3rd to 6th. Have nothing planned beyond the...

I have a Gen II Corbin Saddle that I don't need anymore. Rider only, no pillion seat. Not Heated, appears to be leather seating surface, no rips or tears. A little bit dusty, but I'll fix that before it ships. 😊 Thinking $150 + Shipping is appropriate. Heading down to Montana on the 20th...

in the recent tradition of "Set a location and a date and they will come." the location has been set since CFR last year and the date decided and confirmed months ago. Nelson is not a big town. Everything is basically within walking distance of everything else. Pick a hotel, the closer to...

While I'd like to do this from home, and while current weather might actually make that possible, I just don't have the time available right now. Fortunately, there is a BMW with my name on it sitting in West Palm Beach. Unfortunately, my schedule is directed by forces outside of my control, so...

Well... I got roped into taking a cruise out of Ft Lauderdale and am staying a few days after the cruise to catch a cheaper flight home. Thinking a quick ride down to the keys or somewhere around FL would be great if I could rent a bike. The cruise arrives back in port early Sunday morning...

In the spring I picked up a barely used Honda Ruckus Scooter for my daughter. Having always enjoyed reading stories of the Mad Bastard Scooter Rally and musing that "I'll do that someday," I immediately started making plans to 'borrow' the ruckus from her, farkle it up and take it to the next...

CFR 2015 Location was chosen to be NELSON, BC by a small panel of devote CFR attendees and announced in Newfoundland at CFR 2014. The timing was to be "the usual time." The usual timing varies depending on whom you talk to, but is usually the last weekend of June or Father's day weekend. Usually...

I always prefer to minimize the cutting/splicing/puncturing of the stock wiring by buying or making plug-n-play mini harnesses for my applications. I'm currently working on an alternate ignition switch but i'm a noob at this harness building stuff. So... I'd like to create a reference for...

Bent the rear rim on my '07 FJR. It appears to be holding some air as I made it the rest of the day without noticing, but the tire lost air while sitting for a day and I didn't bother to check the pressures before I left. Now sitting at the side of the road pondering my options. Anyone have any...

I bent my rim and am wondering what my options are. In Blaine, WA (Peace Arch Border Crossing) and found a BMW guy who has straightened many BMW rims, but says they are 'soft'. Anyone have experience fixing bent rims? Does anyone close by have a spare rim I can borrow/rent to get me home. (I do...

A neighbour has a Bushtec Turbo that he's going to get rid of before he buys a new Bushtec at Sturgis. He was thinking of trading it in but asked if I knew anyone that wanted to buy one. I said I'd pass the word around. It's a 199x year in pretty decent shape and he's asking $1800. Let me know...

I didn't see another thread on this yet, but I just heard that our good friend Ian (Shakin) was taken down by a Dumb Fooking Cager on the weekend. Early information coming from Cindy says he's in good humour but has a long recovery ahead of him. (Original email from Cindy removed, Jeff's post...
