Now that I am firmly ensconced here on the Colorado Plateau, I am wondering where all of the local riders are in the area. I am in Moab, a very short hop from Grand Junction. I drew a 250 mile circle around my house and I am convinced I am smack dab in the middle of some of the greatest...

I got around to starting the service on my 2013 which I have neglected for over a year today. I know, my bad. Oil change went without a hitch. Filter cleaned and reinstalled, new oil, all good. Then I started on the brakes. I have the ABS coupler for performing the basic test to confirm the...

The reports of MNFJR05's demise are vastly lacking in fact and evidence. It's been quite a while since I have posted or even clicked around this place.

For $11,500 OBO this 6,200mile 14ES can find a place in your garage. I am so tempted to lowball it and see if he bites...I can find room for another FJR in the stable...and it ups my cylinder index!!! https://eauclaire.craigslist.org/mcy/5940568878.html

Looks like the FJR is not quite ready to take on 4 wheels just yet...I knew it was an FJR by the sound before I even looked at the gauges... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=609_1476656161

I have waited for this day for along time...I get to do a SS1000 with my 17 year old son, his first.

Those of us with slight OCD are already planning our July trip into a little slice of FJR heaven. I have had the luxury of riding many of Colorado's scenic routes over the years. Here are a few of my favorites that make for an easy day trip with stops for food porn and sight seeing in the...

Many of you may remember that a couple of weeks ago The Other Brian made us aware of an abandoned pair of Candy Red saddlebags in the Mpls/St Paul area. I was moved by his plea to rescue these lost saddlebags. I was able to get them before they ended up abandoned on a dusty shelf in a dark...
