    Going to See the Eclipse?

    I caught the 2017 eclipse in Rexburg, ID in 2017 just by happenstance. We were on a fly fishing trip and the day we had to get from West Yellowstone to Reno was the day of the eclipse. We stopped in Rexburg and went to a nice little park in town with lots of other folks and watched the event...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Hello all: I think I’m going to do a pork shoulder and some chicken breasts tomorrow in the OK Joe as it’s been a spell since we had pulled pork, and it will be a nice day to be outside in Central Cal tending the fire. Been thinking about getting a pellet smoker at some point for when you just...

    Another long journey

    Thanks for sharing these thoughts! I love taking off on the FJR with a map and a credit card for gas and just wandering where I please…… We are of a similar age (I just turned 64) so I get what you are saying, but still a working stiff.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Must be too hot for peeps to be out smoking….. I ran the smoker 2 weeks ago to bring the meat along camping.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Picked up my wheels yesterday with the new Michelins mounted up, and also picked up 4qrts of Yamalube GPspec 10w-40 synthetic oil. My tranny really likes that stuff for some reason….. Work will be done on Saturday…….

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Well, still waiting to get the new tires mounted on the wheels. The week at work was hectic and my 2015 Chev Tahoe with 225,000 miles decided to finally munch the original transmission….. Nobody in my hometown mounts M/C tires, so they have to go to Fresno or Visalia to be mounted. Biknflyfisher

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Pulled off the front and rear wheels as I have new Michelin PR4GT tires ready to be installed next week. Got over 11,000 miles on the current set of tires riding a mixture of curvy backroads and highway droning on trips.

    Incriments On The Fjr Temp Gauge

    Well, there you go - I was not aware there was a temp readout on Gen 3+. Very cool feature….. Biknflyfisher

    Incriments On The Fjr Temp Gauge

    Yes, I’m referring to coolant temp. How are you determining that temp reading? Perhaps you have something mounted on your bike besides the factory temp scale.

    Incriments On The Fjr Temp Gauge

    So you are claiming that on a 90 degree NC summer day your bike runs at 160 fully warmed up?
