Last week I was returning from South Dakota on my BMW F650 GS. I took my little bike and not the FJR so I could enjoy some dirt roads along the way and do some back country camping. I was in Wyoming, traveling westbound on I-80, in the #1 lane (fast lane), at approximately 70 mph. A big rig...

So I did a little tire maintenance today and replaced the front PR2. I have been running Dyna Beads in the tire since it was new and changed it at 8700 miles. They seem to do a good job with balance and tire wear and overall I'm happy with the results. The tire looks like it wore well, at...

So we finally got my wife a new / used bike. :yahoo: She is a new rider and I think she chose the perfect bike. She took the Basic Rider Course last month and now has her motorcycle license. She has some dirt riding experience but not much road time. She's been having a blast riding...

I was looking for a place to buy some ROK Straps for a trip I'll be taking this month and I ran into this website. It has some good write-ups on all sorts of motorcycle gear. I don't know about their prices, and I haven't done business with them, but the reading is interesting. Checkout the...

Anyone planning to ride Sonora Pass Thursday 6-17-2010 needs to find another route. The road will be closed sun up to sun down for recovery of an 18 wheeler and load that went over the side just east of Kennedy Meadows. The driver and passenger are ok. Read all about it below. Sonora Pass update

Tioga Pass is scheduled to open this Saturday 06-05-10 at 8 AM. :yahoo: Now there all open. Clicky for the good news Even better news. Yosemite will waive all entrance fees this Saturday and Sunday June 5 and 6. No entrance fees clicky

I got my new Cycleport gear today. :yahoo: I chose the Ultra 2 Air Mesh Kevlar jacket and pants. I looked into the high-vis stuff but am partial for black. :aarock: I talked to Wayne, the owner, and he believes the black with the 3" 3M reflective strips has just as much eye...

SEE UPDATE BELOW. So I took a little drive up to Sonora Pass yesterday in the cage :angry: . They won't let me ride the bike at work. The winter closure is at Kennedy Meadows where the gate is still locked. SR 108 is clear with very little sand or water on the roadway up to Eagle Meadows...

Glas1/2ful and I did our first SS1K last Saturday. The weather was perfect as was the ride. My Russell seat was the bomb and after 21 hours and 1142 miles I didn't have any hot spots. I left Sonora at 0400 and drove back into the driveway at 0130 hours. I highly recommend riding a SS1K to...

I'm looking at this route as my first SS1K. If weather holds out I'm thinking of leaving Sonora at 0400 on Sat. May 1st and going in a counter clockwise direction. I'm looking for input if the route looks good. I plan on using Ignacio's info. from a previous thread about getting gas receipts...

I'll try this again because I got rained out last week. The weather guesser says it going to be 75 and clear in Napa tomorrow, so that’s where I’m going. I’ll be departing Sonora 0600-0700 depending on if anyone else wants to ride that way as well. I’m planning on taking SR 108 to Obyrnes...

I just realized that I have a prior engagement on Monday so I need to change this ride to Tuesday April the 20th. :dribble: Sorry!! I hope the rain stays away. The water falls are starting to flow nicely, so I'm told. I'm in Sonora and would want to leave around 7:00 AM ish. No hard...

So I'm on my way back from Death Valley yesterday enjoying the last 45 minutes of a great ride. I rode up HWY 395 then over HWY 88. All is good and I'm traveling south on SR 49, north of San Andreas. Ahead of me I see a large wild turkey walking on the right shoulder. I'd guess the thing...

I called Hot Grips and asked about using a Heat Troller. I know the setup works but wanted to know if they sell the Heat Troller. Hot Grips said that they do not sell the Heat Troller. They told me to try www.Lockitt.com because they offer a Hot Grips and Heat Troller deal when you buy them...

I had a few extra hours so I took a little ride in the Sierra Foothills around Sonora, CA. It was clear, warm, and showing 66 degrees on the dash. I started in Sonora off SR 108 and turned north onto Rawhide Rd. I hope the photos get attached correctly. Don't drop the hammer too bad. It's my...

I needed some 2.5 inch passenger footpeg risers so my son could enjoy the FJR too. Here is what I came up with. The blocks are solid aluminum. Kind of rough but they work great and my son is now a happy rider as well.

I've read posts about mounting the Whelen Lin3 on the FJR. I mounted one below the license plate with good results. I have the Whelen Lin 3 set to steady and am using a 3rdBrakeFlasher for the strobe. It seems to work well in this location. I hope the video works. This is my first attempt...
