    Make 'im ride Bitch?

    In eight hours and forty minutes, I need to meet the new owner of my 2006 FJR1300 at the Greyhound Bus Depot. Should I pick him up in one of my four wheeled vehicles, or should I greet him with his new beauty and make him ride on the pillion seat to drop me off at my house? (He's been on the...

    2011 Twin Cities Defiance of Winter Get Together

    Tonight, I'm out in the back yard, firing up the Weber grill for our New Years steaks and I thought about you guys. (I would say '& Gals' but Minnesota and Wisconsin are a little short on female FJR owners, but we're more than willing to pick you up at the airport and provide lodging, right...

    Richfield, MN

    One of the forum group buys saved me a few bucks on tires, but the local shops were going to charge me a 'carry in' fee. I didn't feel like surrendering my savings, so I delayed. On a group ride with a bunch of forum members, Shane noticed my front tire and said 'It looks like you need a new...

    Belated SFO

    Rewind to last Fall. I'm over at my buddy's house for his birthday. Still feeling guilty for ditching him and my 'other bike' riding buddies so I could go to CFR, I ask "Where are we going next year?" His Dad replies "How about the Ozarks?" "Where are those?" "Missouri, Arkansas" *thinking...
