My daughters started Junior High this week and with that approaching I've had this growing sense of dread that my little girls were about to really grow up. I decided there was only one thing I could do. Buy them gear, suit them up and hopefully let them catch the two-wheeled bug. I figured...

I'll be headed down to the Hill Country next Friday and haven't made any arrangments yet. I usually stay in Bandera but think I'd like to stay closer to Kerrville this time around. Any suggestions?

I'm planning a trip to Greenville SC in about a month. My first priority is making good time but I really hate the idea of superslab the entire way. I'm thinking about 600-700 miles the first day and then a lighter 2nd day. Does anyone have any suggestions that might fit the bill?

Does anyone know what the latest is on construction or road improvements down there?

I know I've been MIA for a while, but wondering what June looks like.

So umm... yeah, badda bing, badda boom and next thing you know the FJR has a stable mate.

So I test road a Daytona this last December and pretty much fell in lust with the thing right off the bat. Having sold my Yamaha YZF600R last summer, I knew it was only a matter of time before I picked up a track toy. I suppose if anyone wants more narrative, I've got it on my blog. Now, on...

I'm sitting here so antsy wishing I could have made this weekend work out, but hopefully next time. I hope everyone gets there and back safely. Take lots of pics!

I was wondering if someone with a bagster wouldn't mind posting a pic of how you secured the strap that sits closest to the rider. I've got mine attached but not sure it's the right way to do it. Thanks.

I figure it might be a good idea to start a thread of some of our favorites roads. Be as descriptive as possible, where you started, ended, trip length, places to eat, leo presense, good places for photo ops etc. If you can additionally add a https://google.maps.com route that would be a bonus.

So looks like it's time to firm up plans for our first "First Sat/Sun Meet & Ride" Based on earlier consensus, the agreement was to meet on the first saturday in January and do it in Euless. I suggest we meet at the Starbuck's located here...

Forecast looks good and I've been itching to scrub that new tire stuff off the new bike. I know it's late notice, but I'm planning on heading out of the mid-cities area around 9 or 9:30 and make my way up to Muester for a lunch and then take the backroads back. Not a long day really. Hoping...

I was about to order a set of sliders for my '08, but in the description saw the statement: Yamaha FJR1300 Frame Sliders and Accessories 2006-2007 Will not fit the 2008 bikes. https://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/Scrip...p?idproduct=180 I really don't see why this would be the case. Think...

I'm going to order a bagster in a couple of days to hopefully have on hand pretty soon after I pick up my '08. It seems that the tank is exactly the same as the '06 and '07, but I thought I'd check with this group and see if anyone who has seen the bike in person noted any differences. Thanks.

So I decided to check on the NBC site to see one of the few shows I actually try to watch was going to be airing next season, Friday Night Lights. (probably has something to do with growing up in Odessa, TX and attending Permian High School) Anyway, I clicked the link for the Finale Blog and...

I picked up tires this winter and am now at a point where it's about time to get them mounted. Since I've got crap for time I'm hoping to find a place that's not too far from the HEB area to mount them. Any suggestions or experience with shops in this area? Dang it.. I put this in the wrong...

Overall I'm really glad I went and would do it again in a heartbeat. That being said there were a couple of less than stellar parts of the day. 1. The night before was really cold and the day of it never got very warm so the track temps made it hard to build up much heat at all in the tires...

Looks like I'm going to have all day Friday from about 7:15am till about 2:45pm to break in the new tire on the little 600. Anyone want to grab lunch in Muenster and then ???

I know that the idea of a trailer and an FJR is blasphemous, but hear me out first. I'm doing my first track day this coming Monday and decided to pick up a trailer to take my yzf600r out there and back in case something happens to the bike. Since I'm going to spring for the trailer, I thought...
