Having sold off my FJR, it's time to clear out my stash of parts - the funds are going into my kid's savings account so when he gets out of the service he'll have some $$ to play with. Here's what's available (shipping extra) (pics to follow), Usual first serve rule applies, but I reserve the...

Posting for my pal Leo, who many know in the PNW. He’s selling a mint Corbin Smuggler, grey in color that matches the 2009 AE and may match later grey bikes. Wants $450. I snapped this pic of it but can post more if this doesn’t sell in the expected 60 min they usually last.

Posting for my friend and neighbor Leo. He’s got a mint 2009 AE with loads of upgrades and just 42k miles.  Bike is located just outside Seattle. It’s in mint condition with one scratch on the side bag that can probably be buffed out. Many Upgrades include: -Seth Laam seat -GP suspension and...

Rode the KTM 1190R today and one of our group had a 1200 GSA that he let me ride. This was seriously optioned out, probably $28k worth of bike, which this guy had bought reasonably cheaply as a used model. It had about 25k miles on it. Ive never owned a BMW motorcycle and shied away from test...

208 hp naked with a 13,600 rpm redline and a 190mph top end. Makes my 158 hp Brutale seem tame. Beautiful bike.

You have to watch this on the big screen. I co-produced a 15min mini documentary with the family that will air with the film. Two dates only, 10/7 and 10/9 in over 500 theaters. Visit Fathom events for tickets...

You may get the irony of my posting this in the "Other Bike" forum. (Hopefully that includes Iggy ). Explained a bit more below: I added a new bike to the herd - a Specialized Turbo Levo Comp. It is a pedal assisted mountain bike that sports an electric motor housed in the crankset, and powered...

I remember when I first got my FJR - the excitement, the farkling, the trips and miles. I did 10K miles my first year with the FJR, a figure I've not come close to this year. That FJR ignited a hunger and it wasn't too long before I added a dirt bike, then a vintage bike, then before I knew it...

" " - Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (also known as "The Rat") You might recall the Matchless Café. Many years ago, Niehart helped me drag it home from a lonely storage locker. A wash, a drink of oil, and three kicks later it gloriously woke from a 30 year nap. It was the offspring...

because the price of slightly used ones is just insane! Seriously, $9k for one with 18K miles? $5k for a fully loaded 06? $11K for a 2015? My 08 has 32K miles on it, just barely broken in, and I would guess it is worth no more than $6k despite all the goodies. At that price, cheaper to keep...

Hudson here. I've been a bit quiet on the forum of late, as my day job and other projects have taken up my riding time. Anyway, wanted to share a fun McQueen project and enlist your help. You may have read about the recent claim that a Bullitt Mustang was located in Mexico. Maybe so, maybe not...

So a year from now, I have a milestone birthday, and typically these involve inviting lots of people from your past to surprise you. Not for me - I want to take charge of making my milestone a memorable one. What I want to do is something I wished I'd done with Don Stanley when he was around -...

Phone rings from UK. It's my pal Gerry, owner of Metisse Motorcycles in the UK. I answer those calls on the first or second ring - it always leads to good things. If you don't know Metisse in the US, that's understandable. Probably the last of the British bike brands actually made, by hand, in...

“As the great modern philosopher, Gary Busey, once mused…” “The cast of Legally Blond, II – where are they now?” “Hudson and Sportsguy on a 1600 mile trip into NE Oregon, using routes suggested by the Internets. What could go wrong?” SAID NO ONE. EVER. Well, one of these was said. Guess which.

Well it ain't Alaska or even Canada, but looking to get 4 days of great riding done this coming weekend. SportsGuy is headed up and we'll take the KTM and FJR out for a grand tour. Here's the route plan so far: Day 1: John Day, 417 Miles: https://goo.gl/maps/APffC8aiSRQ2 Day 2: Ontario 481...

My work colleague was riding with his father and brother this past weekend when his dad had a nasty crash, on a grated bridge surface at relatively low speeds. All of the riders are experienced, and while the accident was avoidable, sometimes things happen to the best of riders - I know I've had...

It was that time of the month again - get each of the rarely ridden bikes out, get the engines warmed up and the oil flowing, and head down the hill to the ethanol-free gas station to fill the tanks. First up was the MV Augusta F4 312R. She's all pretty again after being put back together. Ten...

1. Not one, lots of them! One here, one there, wherever I found them! 2. Many are called, few are chosen. 3. How can I miss you if you don't go away? 4. Every gun makes it own tune. 5. If you do that, you'll always be poor. 6. One bastard goes in, another comes out. I'll explain tomorrow...

This one is a puzzler: 08 FJR, turn the key, no lights, no power to the bike, not a thing. More info below, but the "no power" aspect won't let me lower the windshield to remove the cowl to begin checking various spiders and relays. I've been poking around all winter with no success...

A number of us in the PNW crew won't be able to make Don Stanley's funeral service in Chandler AZ, but we are still with him in spirit. Or should I say, SPIRITS! As in Whiskey. If there is sufficient interest, I am thinking of convening a group at the Last Frontier Saloon in Fall City next...
