So my '13 FJR is now paid off finally, and still loving it. Ive always had a lustful eye on the BMW 1200 RT. So I decided to poke around the BMW forums. Uh no thanks. It is filled with complaints and problems. Good Lord. Lust is gone.

Apparently I cant post img tags for this blech https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7757580288/h54826B82/

So, this morning, preparing for work, I go out to my garage like I always do...start the feejer like I always do...zip the jacket...put the helmet and gloves on...back it out...like I always do. Then something happened. Same routine Ive done for years, but today...somehow I felt like one with...

A co-worker and good friend of mine passed on Thursday in a bike accident. He leaves behind two beautiful daughters. He was always positive, joking, and could lift your spirits. Please keep Mike's family in your prayers. And no, he did not follow the ATGATT rule. It is unclear whether or not it...

So which riding mode do you use? I use Sport if solo and Touring if riding 2-up. Makes for a smoother ride for wifey :) So how do you ride? If you use both, what conditions change your riding mode?

Wifey and I are looking at riding pants. Me...no problem. But she is a tiny girl. 5'0 100 lbs soaking wet...size 0-1 with 29" inseam. Ive looked at Olympia, Scorpion, and Alpinestar...all of which smallest size is 4 with 31" inseam. Anyone have ideas what brand might work for her? I guess...

IN MY GARAGE! Very, very preliminary impressions....love the new display layout...suspension seems firmer, more accurate...noticibly smoother overall (less vibration). So far (again, very very preliminary impression) the biggest difference between touring and sport mode is on take off and...

One thing I dont have for my bike is a GPS. Ive always used my phone, but it can be a little tedious. WalMart has the Garmin Nuvi 50 for $69 for black friday...so far all my reading tells me this is a great deal. How does it look to you guys?

So. Heres the short story of my electrical ghosts. A couple weeks ago I was getting ready to go to work. Started the bike then realized I forgot to put my backpack in the hard case, so shut it down. When I went to start it up again, it just made a clicking noise. Not a clicking like when the...

So wifey and I are planning a ride up the coast via hwy 1. Its been on my bucket list for awhile. We're planning for end of this month or beginning of Nov. The tentative plan is Phoenix to Huntington Beach the first day (hoping to hook up with kaitsdad again while Im there :) ). Then second...

So, bike recently turned 10k and I should probably do a TB sync...dont have the tool though. I'd be more than willing to grill a nice ribeye, ribs, or both, plus some brews if you wanna come over and show me how its done :D Im in NW Phoenix near 67th Ave and Happy Valley. PM me if you can help!

So, Ive been riding a long time. Ive experienced tailgaters and such, but yesterday this guy was a complete ass. This particular exit off the freeway sweeps to the left and stops almost under the freeway, where a lights control the intersection. It feeds on to a 6 lane main road (3 lanes each...

So wifey and I had been planning this for a couple of months. We've talked about doing it for awhile and finally set our date. Got up at 3am this morning, and were out the door at 4:15. Put in $1.87 in gas, offical time start 4:35am. First planned stop Tucson (from NW Phoenix) about 2 hours 30...

I was reading through (again) all the rules etc and I had planned on getting my neighbor to certify my start and end; however, on the IBA site, it states: So my question is, should I not then fill up the night before I leave so I can have my neighbor sign and then just take off? Do I need both?

So, Im looking for a solution for hydration while riding two up. Systems like the Garauld Refreshment System wont work as they take up space in the wrong spot. What Im thinking is, I have one of THESE Coleman 1 gal jugs, but Im trying to find tubing for it. Ive looked at REI.com and dicks...

The IBA store doesnt seem to show any, so Im assuming no. Wifey and I are doing the SS1000 in a couple of weeks and she wants an IBA frame to put on her car...I think she may be outta luck. Anyone heard of such a thing? Google didnt really turn up anything.

So, I posted in the ride planning section already, but seeing if anyone here has done the SS1k 2up. Wifey is insistent that she wants to go, sooo. On the FJR we've done an 800 mile trip over 2 days, but that involved ALOT of traffic, and it really wasnt too bad of a ride. The route we're...

I'll admit, part of planning this frightens me a bit, but then the rational side takes over and I think...Ive got the perfect bike, with cruise control, should be good weather, whats not to love? Well, other than 1000 miles in 24 hours :P I will probably do this 2 up as wifey has expressed an...

Im curious how many members ride their feejer as their main transpo. I do. Im in Phoenix so its pretty nice :)

I remember a buddy of mine years ago (Ive lost touch with him) had a few pairs of leather riding pants that looked like denim. I googled without much luck. Anyone know of leather that doesnt look like leather?
