    FJR on Pieowa

    Before I start this report, let me just say that this is the only group of people who will "get" the reason for this ride. I tried explaining it to "normal" people, and it just generates a lot of blank looks (or eye rolls, in the case of my wife). So for them, I just said I was taking a ride...

    '15 ES Shock Removal

    I'm trying to remove the rear shock on my '15 ES and have reached a hurdle. I'm having trouble removing the DC motor coupler and can't find the stepper motor coupler. As a picture is worth a thousand words, this video may save me a lot of typing. Second bit: The FSM doesn't say as much, but...

    CFO 2021 - Happy Birthday to me

    CFO returns this year to Dubuque, and this time it's personal. Because really the only reason I'm doing this is because I booked it for my birthday weekend, when I hit the big 6-0. So this time, CFO stands for Craig's Fuckin' Old. There will be no T-shirts. There will be a meal on Saturday...

    CFO 2020 - POSTPONED

    All: It seems to be in the best interest of everyone to postpone CFO until the COVID-19 threat levels out further. If/when it gets rescheduled you'll see it here. Stay away from everyone in the meantime. "I can see clearly now..." Then you weren't at CFO 2019. CFO 2020 returns to Dubuque...

    Reuben Run to YFO: What to do?

    So I assume more than a few folks will be hitting both events. I'm trying to put together a rough itinerary for the days in between, trying to figure what I might see, where I might go, and if there might be a couch, backyard, or floor to crash on, and who wants to tag along. My one goal is to...

    CFO Routes

    Find .gpx files here (I hope). There are six files with matching .png files showing the route, and with a brief description of each below in this post. The number in the file name is the route mileage. The remainder were offered by other forum members and riff-raff, so I make no warranty...

    CFO 2018? It's up to you.

    In addition to my commitments to attend CFR and EOM, two rallies I've yet to hit, maybe SFO, and other summer obligations, I'm stepping away from organizing CFO for this year. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have to happen. I wasn't granted magical powers to put on a rally...just goofy enough...

    CFO Spotwalla page

    A Spotwalla page has been setup. It's not "active" yet but you can join the page if you have a Spotwalla account and a device that works with it. I sent a request to adjust the start date today instead of tomorrow. When you see him at MOFO, thank Marty for helping set this up. For now, it's...

    IA to CA: A YFO ride report

    Well, I'd have had a RR earlier, but part of my arrangement for spending a week on the bike was to refurbish our deck upon my return. So with that (almost) done, I find time to sort photos, recollect, and write. My plan was 3 days getting from Des Moines to Mariposa with a couple of side trips...

    Garmin 595 install question: Wiring harness

    Just received my new Garmin 595. Was a bit surprised by all the wires extending from the harness connected to the mount: Power + and -, I get that. USB port is a nice feature, but the cable's longer than I need (5' from where the cables break from one to many). Will have to coil up some of...

    WTB: Gerbing Permanent Controller Switch

    Got a great deal on a permanent controller for my heated gear. During install, while attempting to remove the knob from the potentiometer, the shaft pulled out. So I'm looking for a replacement. Just the short cable assembly shown in the second photo. Can anyone help a brutha out? I bought...

    Lee Parks Deersport Gloves

    Just bought these at the Chicago Motorcycle show last month. LOVE the fit and feel, but the gauntlet is more than I need. I've ordered Lee Parks' Deer Tours to replace them. Wore these three times on short rides in cool weather, so some very light marks on the palm, and there was no sweating...

    CFO/MOFO needs graphics

    CFO/MOFO needs the assistance of someone with graphic talents to modify the rally logo (or create a new one!) for use on a rally trinket I hope to have for all registrants. I've got the following with some variations. I'm thinking of the letters CFO/MOFO in a style similar to the FJR logo, with...

    CFO 2017 Dates

    For 2017, the Central FJR Owners rally gets a refresh as it moves to a new region: Jefferson City, MO. And although the CFO acronym still applies, I'm tagging on a new co-acronym fitting our new host state: Midwest and Other FJR Owners or MOFO. And as the name says, those from all regions and...

    CFO '16 pics

    For a variety of reasons, several of them square on me, others just the way things go, this year's CFO was lightly attended. But I think all who showed would agree La Crosse in September provides great weather (most of the time) and great riding. I arrived Wednesday evening to get a jump on...
