    hi from pa

    I'm exited for you to get the FJR. You sound like a good fit for it. I just ran across this thread and will make a couple late comments. The weight and balance of the FJR is something you have to be careful with as an "average height" person. I am 5-10 and as I get older sometimes the FJR...

    FJRForum Official 2023 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    Seems like the points for the bingo were not worth a large amount for the effort required. Kind of fun though? I also was curious on the rule execution for when people found a valid location of the restaurant that expanded into another state than was listed. I speak from experience because KY is...

    Hello from Tennessee

    I'm glad I checked before I typed. The only place listing brisket now is BBQ Shack. We ordered from there a couple weeks ago and the brisket was good. I thought the Woodshed had brisket but they don't. Woodshed has great food though. The other place I like shows permanently closed now. Since...

    I missed the rider in Maryland, I guess. They are going to be close to the final time. And the rider in Middlesex hasn’t moved since early this morning so something is up there.

    If I’m looking correctly, there may be no penalty points given for late finish. The New York and Tennessee riders will be DNF and everyone else should make it by 8:00 barring any surprises.

    FJRForum Official 2023 Iron Butt Rally Tracking/Analysis Thread

    ^ This... I've sent this same picture snapped from my phone to friends that ride and kind-of get it and friends that definitely don't get it. I think it's a great indication of the excellent puzzle created by the rally masters this year. If I remember right, Key West was often considered a...

    I'm enjoying following the rally again this year. How many days are Leg 2 and is it back to Tulsa or in Denver?

    SW Colorado with my nephew part 3

    ...continued More of Canyonlands If you go to Canyonlands, you need to stop at Deadhorse Point on the way out. Another really awesome view. We went over the La Sal mountains and up 141 to Grand Junction. This is a great road between the canyon bluffs. It's so fun on a motorcycle. We...

    SW Colorado with my nephew part 2

    ...Continued Leaving monument valley On the way to Moab we stopped at Goosenecks State Park just SW of Moki Dugway which is an interesting view. I didn't have my wife with me so I thought Moki Dugway would be easy going, but I found myself nervous on it. I was not as recovered mentally from...

    Southwest Colorado on the FJR with my nephew

    I planned this trip exactly a year after our wreck in May of 2022 where I totalled the Goldwing. My wife's right arm is over 90% recovered and her left wrist is in good shape again. She still can't move her ring and pinky fingers and they don't think she'll get those back. She's still not been...

    Is this a TPS problem?

    Yep, it's a 2007. I have not had ANY diag failure codes. I guess I got the TPS diag process from another site. Here it is: - hold select and reset while turning key on for 5-10 seconds. - release both buttons - press both again and after 2-3 seconds the display shows d1:01 and a two digit...

    Is this a TPS problem?

    I just got back from a trip on the FJR riding around CO, NM, AZ and UT with my nephew on his S10. It's the first long trip of any kind I've taken on the FJR in 3 or more years. My wife and I were riding the wing on all our long trips before our accident a year ago and the MT10 replaced the...

    Long-Distance Endurance MT10 Project

    This is great, Warchild! I think your Puig you installed is taller than mine but it still made a ton of difference. With a decent helmet the wind doesn't bug me at all even at "go to jail" speeds, which on that MT10 is a slight twist of the wrist. Now the distance per tank? That's gonna be fun...

    Rodents !! How to get rid of them

    I've thankfully not experienced this personally, but I remember reading about someone getting a garage cat just for this reason.

    Brother's done riding, need FMV for his bike

    So sorry about your brother. I tend to be sentimental but have been trying to learn to get better at getting rid of stuff. However, I think the advice here is spot on with keeping it if you can. I am very close to my nephew (he's more like a son to me) and his younger brother died a couple years...

    Choosing a Gen II Rifle windshield size (vs Gen I)

    I had to pull out my OEM windshield for a guy that may want it and the invoice for the Rifle was in the box. It is an FJR1300 '06 Tour +3" tall +4 wide

    My worst ride to date

    Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you are just sore. My brother and niece both live just north of there. It's a pretty area, but we hit lots of traffic when we rode there a couple years ago. My niece's husband had a bicycle accident right in that same area and still is recovering from...
