...so is the shock actually gone?

I was a bit disappointed with the video, because I thought it didn't show enough of how steep and twisty it actually is! On one of my other runs over, I caught up to a young guy in a souped up VW going at a decent rate, his rear tires were off the ground a few times! It took me a little while...

Hey man! I did see a couple of FJR's there, I was parked down toward the pier, the bike got quite a bit of attention, to the dismay of my Harley riding friends ;-) The Wharf Rat Rally is a good time, finding a hotel might be a chore, but worth doing. My friends and I aren't going this year...

Yeah, that would have been fun too, but we did fit in a lot of great riding, plus a big bike rally in southern Ontario (Canada) Friday 13th Rally in Port Dover, see here. We had an amazing time!

Hey guys, check out the video I did riding my FJR through Hurricane Mountain Road in North Conway, New Hampshire. The bike actually leaves the ground a few times, plus multiple wheelies cresting hills! Video Here! This was one stop of a 5000+ kilometer tour starting from Halifax, Nova Scotia...

What type of hitch are most single wheel guys using?

Where do you live?

Hey, I was just wondering about other people's experiences with single-wheeled trailers. I recently picked one up which was made by Third Wheel Trailers it looks like a great rig, and as advertised tested at high speeds. Anyway, there are two types of hitch-ups for these rigs, one they call...

Well, I usually just lurk around here and don't say too much, but I have some experience with this area. I own a 2004 FJR1300S (non-ABS), and used to work at a Yamaha/Kawasaki dealer, actually I un-crated the first Concours in Nova Scotia! Anyway, I have had the opportunity to ride a Concours...

Here in Nova Scotia, there is a beach near Bridgewater called Crescent Beach. The sand is fairly hard packed for some reason and is quite stable to ride on, and you're allowed!! Makes me imagine that I'm running on the Bonneville Salt Flats, I wish, anyway, enjoy the video, the sound is shitty...

Are you touching down the foot-peg feelers, kick-stand or center-stand arm? Other than that mine is smooth and quiet.

I have personally dragged the right exhaust pipe and rear brake pivot on a race-track, without bags on, I would assume the bag would have been getting close, but doubt it would hit. Not something I recommend coming anywhere near on the street.

F*ck that, I'm going to have to get sponsorship if I keep up activities like that. I just about have my rear Avon Storm cooked with only about 8000 kms on it!

It was actually in Yarmouth! It was a part of the "Sou' Wester" Bike rally, we rode down Saturday morning just for the drag races. It was cool to see some people asking where we were coming from, while un-clipping the bags after a 3 hour commute. A perfect way to run the FJR in drag races, 3...

If you blow it up to full-screen it isn't too bad, youtube reduced the image quality a bit, I think. Maybe it's you computer that isn't showing it well (lol). The spectators were not permitted close enough for a good shot and she (my wife) didn't want to zoom too much, in case it made things...

Check out my (crappy apparently) little drag video from last weekend!

Check out my video on Youtube, a little distant but you'll get the idea!

"Now the questions (recognizing that you were running at a track outside of the US) -- Did you use straps? Were you required to have a kill lanyard? Were you required to have leather or prove your riding gear was Kevlar? And finally, when are you going back to do it again?" Well, as advised, I...

Bit of an update here Ion, I ran the dragstrip yesterday, what a rush! My best time of the day was 11.17 @ 122 mph, not bad for a rookie I guess. First couple of runs, I ran with my buddy on his V-Max, he couldn't touch me, even with a piss poor reaction time (at first). I also ran against a...
