Ok...enough of this April fools crap. You miserable northerners really just need to go ride, your all effed in the head. lol. I figured try I'd to lighten the mood around this miserable morgue that's a supposed front for an actual motorcycle forum. I picked some of the more popular Sitcoms of...

Wanderlust: a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world. Guilty as charged. What occurred to me recently is this...I'm a very pragmatic, usually play it safe, planning type. I've also always had a very structured & predictable work & life schedule/routine. For the...

So me & Streetbetty were enjoying a nice ride yesterday, going out to lunch, enjoying some cappuchino & cheescake on a outdoor patio in the town that films a lot of "The Walking Dead" tv series here in GA in 70 degree temps. After lunch I looped us down south to ride across the spine of the Pine...

I have a question about Seafoam since I've never used it before. I'm having no issues with the bike but for preventative maintenance I wanted to run some sort of FI cleaner through the bike. I found this video on Youtube with a guy seamfoaming a 2006 Gixxer 1000 FI bike. Is this the correct way...

The calendar says Spring is still a couple of weeks away...but this weekend in Georgia you'd of thought otherwise. The winter from hell may be starting to finally loosen it's grip somewhat on the eastern U.S., at least here in the deep south. For you miserable bastards in the Midwest, Northeast...

A man and his mule - by G.R. A man was riding his mule down a country road into town and passerby’s looked at the man and stated “That poor mule! It’s back must be hurting with him riding it. This is animal abuse! How could anyone be so cruel”. Upon hearing this the man got off the mule and...

I just thought it would be interesting to see how different we all might be, even though we all love the FJR for our own personal reasons.

A non RR...RR. In my constant pursuit of life simplicity and escaping the relentless insanity of modern life stresses and societal idiocy me & my wife took a 3-day trip to the mountains over Thanksgiving. Our kids were on vacation and with their other "part time" parents so we took leave to get...

Different kind of RR for me today. No pictures of mountains, lakes, streams or waterfalls. I took my own advice for searching out new & interesting POI in my local riding territory and took work off today and headed out on the Feej to Cartersville, GA and stopped at "Old Car USA" which bills...

Escalation pull back “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated” – Confucius Bigger is always better…right? Typically we think that it is. We can be very hard to satisfy, if we’re ever really satisfied at all. We always want more. That’s not always a bad thing I would...

Me & Earthrooster (Jesse) did a 2-day ride & tent camping trip. Since our wives couldn't make it this time we decided to just do a guys trip and tent camp for the night. We camped at the Mile High Campground in NC on top of the Blue Ridge @ 5,400'. It's right on the edge of the Cherokee Indian...

A suspension expert...I am not. I've owned several motorcycles & ridden for many years but I've never messed with front fork suspension before. I've upgraded a rear shock once but that's about it. I learned about Traxxion Dynamics a few years ago and heard good reviews from others on this forum...

So I'm coming home from work the other day when a fellow taxpayer pulls up next to me. I do a quick take...then a more rapid double take ensues in his direction...concurrently I find myself mindlessly reaching for my cell phone with my right hand and snapping a quick photo whilst not being able...

It struck me this morning after me, my wife and my 11yr old son took off early on a ride together for breakfast and some country 2-lane riding that I really don't ever see many RR that include kids / grandkids? I've seen a few but 98% of them don't have pictures of kids riding. With the amount...

After being closed for several years Two Wheels of Suches Georgia motorcycle campground & Lodge is back open. Rode by there today and saw it full of motorcycles along with a big "We're Open" sign out front. Nice to see them back in business.

Typically Atlanta, GA in June-July-August is hot & dry. Most years it's 90-95 everyday with bright sunshine and not much rain during the summer months...not this year! While I've appreciated the below normal temps all summer and the nice green grass, the copious amounts of rain putting us some...
