My backseat driver for 34 years has decided she'd like to ride her own bike again. That's right, she started riding a Honda 360 in 1974 briefly, but had a close-call scare and hasn't driven since. She is going to enroll in a MSF course where they use Rebel 250's, but we're looking for...

I just read a test on the new Dunlop Roadsmart tires that replace the D220 at: https://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page...5934&Page=1 They got a favorable review. Has anybody tried them out yet? How do they compare to the Pirelli dual-compound tires in dry and wet performance as well as...

Anybody interested in doing the SFO meet in Eureka Springs, AR at the end of April?

Well, I made a deal with Ridingfar, from FZ1OA, for his 2002 FZ1. He brought it from St. Louis to his brother-in-law's house outside Kansas City so I could pick it up Saturday. I was back home in Wichita by 1:30 PM and the temp was 56 so I had a chance to take it out for a quick spin...

We went to the Long Beach convention center last night for the opening of the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show. My son is in the market for a nice mid-sized sporty bike with comfortable ergos and I wanted to see how I fit on some of the new models. He quickly honed in on the Suzuki...

:yahoo: YA-HOOOO!!! It's official. Yesterday I received a letter from Mr. Kneebone welcoming me to IBA's community of the world's toughest motorcycle riders. I have already modified my signature to proudly display my new IBA #, 30287, and first order of business before riding to breakfast...

The Beechcraft Drifters Motorcycle Club organized a little ride from Wichita, KS to Fayetteville, AR for the Bikes, Blues and BBQ rally last week. Nine people on Six bikes took Rt. 400 east, did a little jog on I-44 to Joplin, MO then dropped down 71 into Arkansas. Four of us stopped along the...

Hey guys, here's a link to some shots I took at CFO.

Bikes from all over the central region converge on Cassoday in central Kansas the first Sunday of the month, April through October. Today's meet promises to be huge given the perfect weather forecast. Hope to see fellow Feejer pilots there. I'll have my camera.

The local Triumph/Victory dealer had an open house yesterday so my better half and I stopped in to check out the new Victory Vision. They didn't have one. Their first one was sold sight unseen and the next one isn't due in until next month. I did take the opportunity to ride the Triumph...

I have doing the tach installation from hell on my 2002 Honda VTX 1800R. I bought a Drag Specialties tach because Honda didn't think they looked cool on a cruiser and who needs a stinkin tach when your friendly rev limiter will kick in at 5600 rpms and let you know when to shift. I bought a...

I went on a 4-day 1600-mile motorcycle trip last week through the mountains of CO and NM. I left Wichita, KS Wednesday evening after work and drove 3.5 hours to Garden City, KS, which turns out to be the Hog shit capital of the world. I resisted the temptation to send Debbie the Hogs and...

Well, I just completed my first IB ride. It was great! Four of us were in the group. I rode the FJR, Jim was on his Vulcan 1600, Kevin was on his Silverado 1700 and Mark was on his 1982 Yamaha 400. He had that thing WFO for most of the trip. We left Wichita, KS at 5:50AM in a dense, wet fog...

I was surprised by a significant front wheel wobble at about 40 mph the other day. I was decelerating moderately in town and had light pressure on the handgrips when it wagged back and forth about 4 times. Grabbing the grips firmly curred it. It happened again, but this time a little wiggle...

Looking for a stock seast for an 06 or 07 FJR. Will buy both or just passenger seat. I need to send back the passenger seat to Russell and need an alternative while they try to get it right this time. Please Pm me if you have a seat or know where I can find one. Thanks,

How does the plastic cover over the windshield mounting hardware come off? I snapped the two bottom tangs free, but the top ones are more stubborn and more fragile. Which direction should I apply pressure to disconnect it? Are there any tricks? I tried pulling it straight out and was afraid...

Being a Cleveland Browns fan, this Superbowl, and all previous Superbowls for that matter, is/are of little interest to me. But it is fun to root for one team. All things being equal, I usually root for the underdog. Sometimes I try to fool myself. The year after Art Model hijacked the...
