    I am thinking that giant fruits / vegetables seem to be targets for bonii. Several stopped at Corn Henge in Dublin, OH, Given the image of the peach water tower is an indicator.. Here is a website to several across the country. https://www.roadarch.com/food/main.html

    Sold Corbin Smuggler for sale Cerulean Silver

    Not actually sold - I reconsidered because these smugglers are awesome. For sale Cerulean Silver Corbin. I had it on my '06 blue and I thought it made a nice blend between the blue and the silver on the bike. It has as small rub mark on one side just above the grab rail. The plate that locks...

    Yosemite FJR Owners (YFO) Gathering - Sept. 2-5, 2021

    I can confirm that the smoke North of Gardenerville has bad. We have had several weeks now where the Air Quality is over 100 and often times over 150. Yesterday we caught a break and could actually see the mountains 4 miles from the house. It was taken away this morning as the AQI was 194. Right...

    Yosemite FJR Owners (YFO) Gathering - Sept. 2-5, 2021

    I am going bow out for the weekend. I do still plan on driving down on Friday night to sit around the fire and talk smart. There are too many of you that I know and would like to see. I am also looking forward to meeting some rider friends. I am trying to convince my better half to make the...

    Tail luggage Rack

    I have a SW Moto Tech steel mounting plate for the back luggage rack that I have used in the past to mount a pelican case. I even have the aluminum tail rack painted black. Let me know if you are interested. I am east of Carson City. If you are going to YFO I can bring it along. Joe

    Foot Guards

    Thank you!!! I just realized last night that I couldn't easily get to my oil filter and the sight glass is also a bit harder to see. The jury is out. These might be coming off.

    Foot Guards

    I have a new to me 2013. It has been through two previous owners. The last guy put a nice Givi Dolomite top box on it along with the SR357 rack. Now I need to do some soul searching - this is a nice top box really roomy - not helmet roomy but it can carry lots of stuff. I can't use my smuggler...

    Charging Voltage Droop with Elevated Ambient Temps?

    My new to me 2013 has a Shorai. I feel the dark cloud over head. Just a matter of time. I have a pigtail for a jump starter. I believe I will install that and make sure the jump pack is ready for prime time all the time. Then I can self rescue. Joe

    Bluetooth w/dual GPS’s

    Where are you finding a great deal on the XT? I see the same $499 price everywhere. 4 months ago there was a deal for $399 still kicking myself for not pulling the trigger then. On my 595 which has the large connection cable one of those ports is Audio in. I wonder if you could route and audio...

    FJRForum Official 2021 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    I spotted several riders today going through the metropolis of Dayton, NV. It is the site of the first gold strike in Nevada not sure if that is the bonus though. Probably the monument to the Grave of the unknown Prospector which is at the intersection of 50 and 439 (US parkway) just guessing...

    Considering a move - Reno

    I work from home everyday. The only commute will be to the airport when I need to travel to the places I won't drive in my territory. The plan is to drive when I need to visit Sacramento, Redding, SF and San Jose and fly to LA and SD. Generally there aren't any restrictions on flying if you are...

    Considering a move - Reno

    I have to live in my territory - California / Nevada. Yes the PNW is a great location just not in the cards for me at this time.

    Considering a move - Reno

    Bug - it is really not a commute per say I need to travel into territory a couple of times a month. So it is not a daily commute. On of our current vehicles is a 4WD. Thanks for the response.  Joe

    Considering a move - Reno

    I am considering a move west. I am covering California and Nevada (everything except Vegas) in my job now. The person that had that territory is taking a new job. I have been asked to cover it until they find a replacement. I can throw my hat in the ring for that role. Being a Texan I am...

    Mysterious RAM X-Mount Failure

    I am impressed that the lightning connector held that securely. I use a Quad-Lock now. You have to put your phone in a special case that won't allow it to lie flat. They are expensive but performance is excellent.
