    FJR1300 Eastern Owners Meet - EOM - 2024 - Update

    EOM 2024. I wanted to share where I am with getting things sorted out for EOM this year. Venue hunting continues to be a challenge for this event; and the facility and staff at Flatwoods have set a bar that will be difficult for any other venue to come close to - the behind the scenes aspect...

    RIP ionbeam - 10/7/23

    Sad news indeed - he was a kind and giving soul. His passion and wealth of knowledge here were second only to his willingness to share and to be helpful. Wayne

    Welcome. I'm on the east side, just north of Detroit. Designflaw06 is on the west side though. We will likely have a "Tech Day" in the fall near Columbus.

    I dropped her again.

    Those u-turns will surprise you every time! Something I do fairly often is take some time and practice them. This goes back to when I was teaching MSF. I used my FJR and my HD softtail to demo the exercises (taught on base, no MSF trainer bikes provided for that scenario). In an empty...

    FJR1300 Eastern Owners Meeting - 2022 - Flatwoods, WV - September 15-18th, 2022

    Raven17 - good catch; I am able to leave the registration open for the banquet until Monday - Monday is when I need to provide the headcount guarantee to the hotel for the meal. That said, most of the time, I can add guests to the meal count until the day before the banquet on a case by case...

    EOM 2022 - Flatwoods, WV - September 15th-18th, 2022 - Registration is open!

    I know I'm going to spend more $$ this year on gas for this trip. I've prepared for that by trimming here and there, and know that it is going to be the best return on investment I see all year in the miles I ride and the smiles, laughs, and good times shared with the group at EOM. My LZ is...

    Dan, Jim - Spklbuk on this forum as well as the other FJR community board and ADVrider is a local WV native and provided that route as an addition to the route package from last year. EOM was in Flatwoods last year (2021). Jim provided an indepth review of the that route over on the other...

    FJR1300 Eastern Owners Meeting - 2022 - Flatwoods, WV - September 15-18th, 2022

    Great Question - I'll try to explain. The single zip file that can be downloaded from the EOM website (here) contains a single compressed GPX file. A GPX file is the commonly used map / route format by Garmin GPS products (Garmin Zumo, etc). That single GPX file contains the 6 routes that...
