Well, it seems Laura and I have yet to learn our lesson, so we are again hosting a tech day this year on Saturday, June 1st. Hard for me to believe this will be our sixth one! I have confirmed that Ray (RayZerman, the real brain-trust of these shenanigans) will be here with tools and his usual...

So, after careful consideration (about 5 seconds…), Laura and I decided we are going to host another WNY Tech Day. Think this makes number 5? Anyway, due to Ray’s jam-packed schedule, we’re looking at doing this a little earlier this year. The two dates in consideration are May 19th or May 26th...

Just wanted to see what interest there may be in us hosting another tech day. I wanted to get on the calendar before everyone's summer riding plans solidified. We're thinking either the first or second weekend in June (6/3 or 6/10). I know there is SEOR and an Indiana Ramble in May, so I figured...

For those that attended EOM or followed the EOM thread, you may have read that I had a problem with my AE that necessitated a tow back to the hotel and a rental vehicle to get the bike home. Here's what went wrong. The shift actuator is located on the left side of the bike, under the side...

While dropping Laura off for her first day of the Basic Rider Course this morning (Yay!), I noted that the Givi top case seemed to have a bit of play in it. Didn't seem like it was going to fall off, but something wasn't right. I got it home and disassembled to find this... So now it's...

Well, I guess with all the other Tech Day announcements, I need to get another one out there. Laura and I will be offering up our humble abode once again for any and all who would like to add farkles, tweak their suspension, change tires, check valves...or just stand around with a drink in their...

Not much as far as RR’s go on this forum, but the way I look at it, I was on two wheels in the sun this afternoon, so it’s all good! I saw the weather forecast last night and was informed that today may be the last day with 60 degree temps until next spring. Given that fact and my current...

Since the weather is supposed to be perfect on Saturday (7/25), Laura suggested we go for a ride. We don't have a destination in mind yet, but we wanted to see if anyone was interested in joining us. Probably a ride-to-eat somewhere. We haven't been on the bike since our vacation (Wellsboro in...

***UPDATE 3/9/15*** The date is set as June 6th. Please take a minute to go to the WNY Tech Day II web site and register (fill out the required fields and look for Register link at bottom left of the page). Note that in addition to tent space in the yard, we DO have three beds and three sofa's...

I was downtown tonight for an event at Larkin Square (near the old Larkin Soap Factory in Buffalo) and I spotted an '05 with a factory top case parked on a side street. Anyone from here?

Laura and I rolled into the driveeway around 6:15pm after waving so long to Wineguy/Mike & Donna in East Aurora as they split off to head for the border at the Peace Bridge. This was after an afternoon tour through Letchworth State Park by KJ. It was an excellent weekend with great folks and I...

Didn't know Mama Yama was into this...

Think it was an '09 FJR, northbound on State Route 4 between exits 7 and 8 (West Warwick), around 7:40 this morning. Anyone around here?

OK, so I cheaped-out and bought a Harbor Fright wheel changer last week. I am now making mods to it so that it can actually be used. Yes, I know you get what you pay for and that there are much better options out there, but for the number of tire changes I do, this makes sense. I have been...

Went into the garage today and happened to look over at my baby, saw this: Seems the girl has developed a leaky fork seal. This must have started some time after I took her out for a brief spin last month (maybe 2-3 miles tops). She sat all winter (since October) with no leaks, and now...

I am not a mechanical guy, when it comes to vehicles. I can change the oil on my bike, but beyond that I get sketchy. I want to learn more, and to that end I attended a tech day at Bust's place. It was a hoot and a half! Unfortunately, for various reasons I have been unable to get back there for...

Laura and I are heading up for this on Saturday sometime. Anyone else going? https://www.motorcyclesupershow.ca/

I saw two FJRs roll through my town yesterday, which is fairly unusual. The first was an '03, single, solo rider with black ATGATT. The second was a '10 riding one-up with a couple other bikes . Yesterday was our big finale to the 50th annual Corn Festival, so the '03 snuck through before the...

So tonight I was working to get my Fuzeblock installed and also a power lead for my Garmin before I head up to Huntsville on Thursday. While removing Panel D over the battery, the spring nut fell off the tab where C, D and the outer fairing all meet. It dropped into the bowels of the cowling. I...

So this ride report has no pictures, and I didn't really go anywhere in particular. I did, however, go riding in 59 degree weather in January in Western New York. Not far mind you, maybe 50-60 miles, and it was all on boring two-lane highway with not a lot of twists or turns, but it was dry...
