    Short Notice Fishing

    I hope this is OK to put here - it's not FJR specific, but this is the most relevant area since it's NW related. My wife planned a charter fishing trip on Sunday the 12th for me for my birthday. I had a friend of mine bail just now due to sickness, so we're looking for someone to fill the seat...

    BBQ Run on Saturday

    Anybody in Portland or Vancouver interested in a slab run up I-5 to Famous Dave's in Tacoma on Saturday? Weather's looking like it will be pretty nice (60ish and sunny). I think they open for lunch at 11am, so we could bolt here around 9:30ish.... Jeff

    Heated Grips

    I solicited some feedback prior to Christmas regarding the Dual Stars vs. heated gloves. I elected to go with the heated grips. Got them installed, and have been held off from riding for various reasons until today. I really like them so far. Good way to spend $35, plus the HeatTroller. It...

    Why are people so rude?

    Is it because there's more of us? Is it because it's becoming acceptable to be nasty to people - almost expected? I'm driving in today, pass by this bicyclist over on the right of my lane, with plenty of room. I stop at a light, and I hear this screaming. I look over, and he's next to my car. I...

    Heated gloves vs. heated grips

    Hopefully not a duplicate topic. Getting ready to make a list for Santa, and trying to decide between heated gloves or heated grips. The gloves are more or less plug n' play, but are more costly than the generic heated grips posted on the forum in the past... *Mostly* for commuting, but if I...

    Dear Abby

    Dear Abby; I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the...

    Hell's Canyon Ride

    Official placeholder for a Hell's Canyon ride in September. Was mulling over making it a 3 day ride (Friday or Monday to be added to the weekend). One day out, one day to leisurely ride the canyon, one day back. I am currently leaning towards doing it in two days since it's not THAT far away...

    PNW Cheap Gear

    Stopped by my local stealer the other day for an air filter. Action Motorsports in Fairview, Oregon. They had their end of season clearance going on. Saw some Joe Rocket and Field Sheer mesh for $99 or less.... looked like some good deals. If you happen to be in the NW, may be worth swinging...

    Saturday Ride

    I have a riding buddy/coworker/friend moving away from the Northwest to the East Coast, and he's doing his last PNW ride this upcoming Saturday. He rides a Valk, so there's likely to be several members of the Valkyrie group along, also possibly a Moto Guzzi. HOPEFULLY, I'm not the only FJR in...

    SS1K Success!

    Holy smokes what a ride! Talk about a LONG day. Had everything loaded on the bike the night before - was staying with a friend, and he was going to get up early with me to ride a bit on the way out. Set my cell phone alarm for 4:25 to be on the road by 5am. At 4:50am, my buddy bangs on the door...

    Oregon to California

    I'm currently in Santee (near San Diego) visiting a friend of mine. I have a newfound respect for my FJR (and my Rich's seat!) after two long days. First day was just shy of 700 miles, Portland to San Jose. Yesterday was another 500 or so - across 17 out to 1, then down the coast highway through...

    Accu-Pressure Tire Caps

    Anybody use these? They seem like a good idea for a quick check of tire pressure. Wondering how they work in the real world... https://www.accupressurecaps.com/

    Mt. Hood Loop

    This Saturday, a couple of FJRs are getting together to take a spin around Mt. Hood. We'll meet up at 9am at the Airport Way Best Buy. We'll roll up 205 to 14 in Washington, then down 14 E to Bridge of the Gods ($ .50 toll). After crossing the bridge, we'll hop on 84E for the short ride to Hood...

    4th of July BBQ

    If any fellow FJR Pilots find themselves with time on their hands tomorrow, you're welcome to swing by my place for some slow cooked, hickory smoked BBQ. I'll have ribs (both plain dry rubbed, and some new Vodka marinade I'm trying), shredded beef, pulled pork, and a chicken. Usually start...

    Cruise Servo Unit Hit

    Was doing a walkaround this morning and noticed a gouge in my servo unit. It's mounted under my right side bag. Anybody with one mounted by the bag (left or right) have any guesses as to what may have happened? It LOOKS like an abraision from the tire, but notice that it's nowhere near the edge...

    Volcano Ride II

    Mt. St. Helens volcano ride redux. Mother Nature blocked off some of the roads on June 10th, so we'll try again. As long as BluFJR's map is up, we may as well reference that: Volcano Ride When: Saturday August 19th Who's Coming: FJRJeff Flylooper shu snowmonkey 650cent And while we're...
