    Unusual view of the USAF Thunderbirds

    Not everyday someone can stand with their feet firmly on the ground and look down and see the USAF Thunderbirds in formation. I love CB and wish I'd been up there to see this.

    GixxerJasen does an FJR Trackday

    Anyone who says the FJR loses weight when moving hasn't been pushing the bike hard enough. Ever since getting my suspension upgraded I've wanted to get it properly set up and do a trackday on it. On Road/Off Road suspension has a good deal when they are set up as a vendor for RideSmart...

    Comp day, of course I rode for BBQ.

    The only slab seen today was ribs. Map link: https://goo.gl/maps/QYcrwEZ4PRH2 So I was supposed to go riding on Friday. I had a comp day from work and it was scheduled and I was jumping on a RTE for some BBQ with the Two Wheeled Texas meeting up between Houston and Dallas. But, it wasn't meant...

    Son's first motorcycle ride.

    First, no I haven't given him his CRF50F yet. That's coming next month. Yesterday his friend was over and they wanted to sit on the bike. As Jakob was sitting there in my spot I looked down at his feet. I made him scoot back to the passenger seat and bam, his feet rested on the passenger pegs...

    Long awaited trip, Colorado in September

    Prologue: In 2010, we took a family vacation to Colorado, which I've been to many times, but always in the winter, this time in August. We chose to visit my wife's uncle in Crested Butte and I brought along my Yamaha FZ1 on a trailer so that I could hit some twisties while I was there. I took...

    My weekend racing a Grom

    My FJR is a fat heavy overpowered pig. Words that were uttered Monday morning as I pulled out of my street. Where the eff is my clutch lever! Words that were uttered Monday morning as I tried to remember how to operate the YCC-S system on my bike. Introduction This all started back in...

    Question for those with Givi Top Boxes

    Next time you are out for a ride, reach back and feel the box and let me know how much movement you feel. After my subframe cracked with my Shad on it, I've added a Givi SR357 to my bike and am working with Gerauld on possibly making a plate to move the Shad forward on the 357 as the Shad sits...

    Perplexing situation

    Posted this pic this morning on facebook. 50K miles of smiles today. My wife responds very quickly with "Time for a new one!" Now, this bike is hardly used up, and we don't have the money really, but those 2014's sure are pretty, and I really shouldn't let her strange mood pass because who...

    GixxerJasen Does Georgia....kinda.

    What a crazy series of weeks Ive had. First I accepted a position at a new company, which meant a departure from my current company and from a lot of people I very much enjoy working with. As the sole network administrator at the company this left them in a difficult situation. I managed to...

    Autocom Super Pro Avi - Sold

    Selling my Autocom Super Pro Avi. $100 + shipping I bought this used off a member when I got the FJR, used it once on my SS1K and decided I didn't like it. Kept it around thinking I might use it again. Last week I picked up a set of Sena SMH10's so I now know this will NEVER get used, better...

    How I did my IBR videos

    During the last IBR I captured the spot trackers in a series of videos and posted them up. If you didn't see them, this is what they look like. I like free software and found the very useful software called Virtualdub. It does run on windows only so there's that consideration. There's a good...

    My free N-Line shelf install

    Quite a long while ago, Blassoff posted up about a free N-Line shelf. I snagged it up knowing it'd have a few issues. But it was free and I'm a cheap bastard, so who am I to complain. It took some time but I finally got it installed. First off, someone had hacked off the nose of the thing, so...

    WTB: Gen II Forks

    If you haven't been following my plight, I'm in need of a set of Gen II forks. If anyone has a set collecting dust in the garage that doesn't have a million miles or multiple deer strikes on them, I'd be interested.

    Fork maintenance failure

    I hate wrenching. Ugh. It never goes right. I sat through watching an experienced guy change out fork seals, I've watched a zillion youtube videos, read a zillion forum threads and figured I could tackle this and ordered all my parts and tools I should need. Everything was going along well and...
