    Handgun on a bike

    I carry a small .45ACP in the storage box. 7 shots available but if I need more than that then I was in a situation I should have foreseen and avoided. I feel that having it closer to hand than you describe is important. I have CCWs from 3 states and those get me through nearly all states that...

    NWS - Only In Twisp Washington?

    "The kids at least could spell and are very creative! We should celebrate for in the year 2000 the school system was working." Could spell? No spelling bees champs out that night in Twisp!

    Bicyclists warned to stay away from NW North Dakota

    I posted about this area once before, here: https://www.fjrforum....ndpost&p=924735, after someone asked about travelling through ND. It has only gotten worse since then. While it has been great for our economy, the west side of the state has been in some ways devastated. Others may have...

    Bicyclists warned to stay away from NW North Dakota

    Cyclists warned to steer clear of ND's oil patch BISMARCK, N.D. — Touring bicyclists wanting to retrace the journey of explorers Lewis and Clark or pedal through the northern tier of the U.S. are being warned to steer clear of northwest North Dakota because of heavy oil traffic. The Adventure...

    Super Tech 7317 outsourced to different vendor?

    I just changed oil and filter and I was not able to find ANY SuperTech oil filters at a local Walmart on Mar 16, 2012. A store associate told me the ST products had been replaced by Purolator products. The 6017A was listed as the filter for most of the Yamaha bikes, but not specifically the...

    United and Continental Airline merger

    I've had good flights and staff with United. Delta truly sucks however. I wouldn't want my corpse shipped home with Delta if I died overseas.

    Has your healthcare ins. provider asked you about motorcycles yet?

    Here's an example of the questions we ask...   Abuse and Neglect:   Any risk factors/warning signs of abuse or neglect observed or reported? Have you been hit, slapped, kicked, or otherwise physically hurt by someone? Has anyone put you down, called you names, or made you feel bad about...

    FJR Tech Day

    Count me in! Mine is running great also, but I'd like to meet FJR folk and talk tech also. But not in the next month or two, OK?

    Cold weather rider

    My younger brother, a V-Star rider in Minneapolis MN, spotted a Ural rider yesterday afternoon. Temp was 2F, but had been -15F that morning. Good grief these guys are hardcore.

    Has your healthcare ins. provider asked you about motorcycles yet?

    At this point those questions are more important when looking for life or disability insurance. You could be rated or denied for these if you engage in "hazardous" occupations or hobbies. In my clinic the number of questions about seat belt use, motorcycle riding and helmet use, high risk...

    Cold weather rider

    Thie bike looked like the Ural but the "sidecar" looked like a box about 18 inches in height and of the width of the axle, painted a darker green. Perhaps it's a homemade unit or optional way to do it?

    Cold weather rider

    Driving to work in Fargo, ND, this morning. Temp -2F (-19C). WOW! I see a rider on a cycle with a low green sidecar, fully geared up of course. I've not seen this bike in town before so he may be is doing a crosscountry ride. Man, it must take some prep of gear and bike to do this. I...

    Found on CL: 2007 AE 1497 miles Kerrville, TX for $6400 (not mine!)

    This is a steal! Especially if the topcase is included. So many interesting shades of gray too.

    Handlebar end weights

    I got a set from Manic Salamander for my 07 AE and have been very happy with them. RL

    Waving at other motorcyclists

    We aircooled VW owners ALWAYS wave to each other. You never know when you're going need some help on the side of the road. Usually soon. We try to beep also, but when the other Bug or Bus doesn't "Meep-Meep" back we understand. It's the corroded exposed wiring to the horn, not uppity-ness.

    Summer '12 Tour

    Avoid northwestern ND. There is a huge oil boom and the roads are full of oil field vehicles 24/7. It's like the Old West up there, with tanker trucks in place of horse carts.. I recommend the Badlands of both western SD and southwestern ND, and even the tourist town of Medora. I think their...

    2006 vs 2009

    I wonder if Yamaha went from "dry weight" to "wet weight" then? You know, fluids full and ready to ride...
