    Flag voids warranty on Harley

    If I were a Victory Executive I'd start selling bikes with American flags on them. And how is a flag's wind resistance more than a trailers?

    FZ1 Oil Filter on FJR

    I use the same filter on my FZ1, my FJR and my Acura TSX, my dream is to get a Acura MDX or Honda Pilot to replace my Suburban and then one oil filter could do everything! But I don't want to give up the interior room or towing capacity.

    Meeting the family in the Dells

    Any county road south of I90, N of IL and east of the Mississippi is awesome. Some of my favorites are B east from Ferryville and C East from Ferryville, you can do them in a loop and wind up back on 27 heading north to La crosse. The road through Wildcat Mountain state park is awesome also.

    2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs!

    As a Penguins fan I guess I'm pulling for the 'Habs in that series, Blackhawks overall, they are my wifes favorite team, might as well make her happy. We got to see the cup last year when they won since we are only 4 hours from Chicago.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    New tire day, the FJR is getting Pilot Road 4's front and back, the FZ is just getting a front, another Pilot Power. First tire change on the still pretty new to me FJR, so I have a belt and suspenders, the 4x4's are there in case the jack were to lose pressure, the straps are for side to...

    I want the other Marc-André Fleury back, I don't like this one at all.

    loading FJR in a pickup

    I had 2 Avalanches and as been mentioned before they are high. Most frequent bike in mine was my CR250 and I used a 9' 2x12 with a metal cleat on the end to level it to the tailgate. The CR is the only bike I could load myself. My R6 took 2 people and I didn't have an FJR when I had the...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Our Minor league baseball team opened the season yesterday to 45 and rain. Today it is 33 and windy with flurries and they have postponed tonight's game. We have 70's in the forecast for late next week though.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    I picked up this Gen1 in December, now that I am actually getting to ride it I have added a few things. The Cee-Bailey Screen and Heli risers came with it. I added the Givi rack to run the 46L trunk I use on my FZ1. Also the tank ring for my bags connection tank bag. I also added Oxford...

    Any suggestions on smallest 12v carry-on compressor...

    I've got the Slime compressor and while I have only had to use it so far while on the FZ1 (and not even inflating my own tire) I have my lighter plug on that bike fused at 10A and no problems. I would guess the draw is inbetween 5 and 10A. Unless your batter tender connection has 22GA wire...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    -13 here this morning. Yesterday I drove down a street that had a whoops section, I was in my Suburban and that wasn't terrible, I think in my car I would have been limited to about 5mph. Supposed to be 36 here on Friday so that will make the frost heaves worse.

    Slimed myself

    The Yuasa battery stock in the FJR is rated 12Ah, you wouldn't want to go more than 50% discharge but that still means on a full battery you are probably good for half an hour to an hour of running, I think a rear totally flat only takes about 10-15 minutes to inflate. I last did it in the rain...

    Harold Ramis Passes

    He wrote and directed some great films, and was funny on the screen too. RIP

    High 40's and sunny and beautiful out, best weather in a while. And a Blizzard warning for tomorrow.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    37 degrees, I think it is about the first time in 2 months it has been above freezing, most days lately haven't been getting above zero. I went and walked around outside in short sleeves and it felt like it was 80.

    Acceptable Riding Footwear

    My touring and commuting is with Joe Rocket Touring boots, I've spent all day at the races walking around in them and they are comfortable. Usually at work I bring shoes but if I won't be in the office long I leave them on. About a year and a half ago while on a trip with several riders the...

    If there was one album, to make everyone here listen to, what would it be?

    Definitely the best single album Red Barchetta always gets me riding faster and faster. Clockwork Angels as mentioned it great, saw the show in Chicago and they still rock.

    How many would buy an MT-01?

    I would buy one, I like the looks, and the idea of a torqey V-twin around town is great. I can't figure out why Yamaha hasn't brought this bike to the country that is crazy over V-twins.

    Look what followed me home....

    I love that Blue and Yellow color on the CBR RR. Fine looking bike!
