Friends were doing the Alaska trip thing about 40 miles N. of Whitehorse, Yukon territory, four bikes in the group, 2 lane blacktop, beautiful weather, first two bikes passed a semi heading N. (this was Sat. morn. around 1100hrs) as the 2nd pair of bikes (my friends) began to pass, the trucker...

I believe I caught a quick glimpse on the noon news that a stretch of hwy 18 going toward Auburn from I-90 will be closed with a lengthy detour through Issaquah.

Anyone out there familiar with this bike? Makes sense thought wise for a lightweight local ride, but could not stand a gutless wonder. Like to hear from someone that has one, or has ridden one for a while. I like sitting on one but have not ridden one. Not in to DCT trans., back in the day...

Just thought I would let folks know. Still snow, Heather lake is under a couple of feet across the middle. Took a putt up that way to ride Mosquito lake road and found out at the store at the N. end of the road that the Pt. had been opened just this last weekend so got my yearly fix. Talking to...

This Sat. 1000hrs to 1600hrs, Food, prizes, demo rides etc. Far as I know, no pie.

It is here again, May 19th Snohomish, city of, all day. Hey, I beat Niehart with a posting, he will probably be along with a full color posting. I am technologically void.

Age, hip etc. and grandma not riding caused the wing to go away for a 1000 V-strom, and still have the FJR. Did the local 3 pass route yesterday (stevens, blewitt and snoqualimie here in Wa.) and coming back for 90 miles over I-90 I was immersed in 75-80mph groups of traffic and boy I would not...

Doldrum day, have ridden by the Acme cafe on highway 9 more times than I can count, never stopped because it was always out of my break cycle so I headed N. out of Everett for a short day putt to evaluate the cafe. Not a lot of time so I freewayed it to the N. side of Sedro W. and cut over to...

Noticeably cheaper, used to be yokohamas. Thinking of a set for the V-Strom. Comments.

Anyone ever done this before and after using K&N air filters?

Just rolling the bike out and I noticed on the Strom I put red valve stems on black wheels, I cannot remember why, instead of the usual black, must have been a whim of some sort. Wonder how many other folks have done something connected to their rides on a whim?

Northwest Washington fairgrounds, Lynden Wa. Haggen Expo. Building, 1000 to 1500 hours. Looks like a swap meet among other things for classic bikes Maybe someone else knows more about these guys I just saw a poster.

Self explanatory

Something to do on a Sat. in early season, demo rides (probably on the new wings), free food,prize giveaways, seminars @ 10am and 12pm, topics unknown at this time. Located in Everett Wa. They floor hondas, suzukis (bought my V-Strom there) and Huskies, some amazing prices on used bikes these...

Worst non-call I have ever seen in playoffs.

New years day weather is looking fair at this time, sooooo I am planning on rolling out in the morning for a couple of hours of local Snohomish, Skagit roads, no specific destination as of yet, but somewhere for brunch, Sylvana, Willow and Jims, Skagit Airfield cafe, not exactly a RTE but sort...

Currently my 2nd bike is a 2014 1000 V-strom, I know many FJR riders have 2nd, 3rd or more rides. My 2013 FJR is my main ride and usually the primary choice,however, I am always looking down the road due to aging, aches and pains. Lighter has become more important ( wing is gone and the wife no...

1400hrs, Tues Nov 13. High bridge was clear and dry, little mulch strips between tire tracks in a few spots but no maple leaves, teensy bit of muddy gravel where dirt driveways entered in a couple of spots. (same on Ben Howard) Ben Howard was very nice and clear, fewer brownish strips and a...

Read this somewhere and it stuck. Someone referring to motorcycling just as a hobby does not understand.

Its that time of year, Iron Skillet in Sedro Wooley is rumored to be gone, found the FLYERS cafe at the Skagit county airport on airport road, opens at 1100hrs, no breakfast, nice atmosphere and it is in my winter rides area, 59er diner is well on its way back at Coles corner, alleged to be...
