I have a trip planned this summer to go from Medford, OR. to Winthrop,WA. One of the roads I'm looking at as part of the route is NF 46 that goes from Detroi, OR to Ripplebrook, OR. Has anybody been on this road and know how it suits the FJR? I'd rather avoid gravel...though short stretches are...

Last weekend I went for a ride with one of my friends who rented a Street Glide. When I first saw him roll up my first impression was, "Wow, that thing is UGLY." The whole bat-wing fairing is not appealing in my eye, and it was painted in a matte red finish. . .looked like a bad rattle can job...

The link takes you to the first bike video I ever shot.  Very lo-tech using a Hi-8 camera bungied to a plank of wood that was strapped across the handlebars.  Just thought I'd put post it for the heck of it.  The focus point was too far down, but you still get the idea of what the Greer Grade...

So I went out for a ride on a beautiful day today, making my way down the road just a bit faster than most traffic on the two lane twisty blacktop. I came up behind a black midsize SUV at a perfect spot to pass, no traffic, good sight distance. I get in the left lane from quite a ways behind...

Just in case you're looking for another good online vendor of all things motorcycle. . . I ordered a XL Shoei RF-1000 from these guys for $237. I think the price was a mistake, because I checked on my order after confirming the transaction and it said the helmet would ship the next day. I...

I've seen quite a few previous/current vmax owners on this board. . .and maybe some who are just interested in keeping abreast of the long awaited future beast that WILL arrive. . .someday. Anyhow, I came across a website for information and discussion about the new Vmax. . . clicky It looks...

For the grand total of $300 I just picked up a mostly functional 1982 Heritage as a starter bike for my wife. Yup, that's right, though some people might know it as the somewhat obscure Yamaha XS400S Heritage Special. :P She's been interested in riding for several years now, so I figure...

Has anybody had to replace their side stand switch yet? The plunger on mine won't come out all the way on it's own no matter how much I play with it or lubricate it (did you like the set up on that one?) Anyhow, I tried to remove it, but the two screws that hold it in place are extra-extra...

Got this in an email this morning. . . :agent: This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Cadillac, doing 65 mph, with her face up next to her rear view mirror, putting on her eyeliner. I looked away, for a couple seconds, and when I...

I suppose this one may get booted over to the NEPRT section. . .but I'll let the admins make that call. Last week I finally got around to pulling the front wheel off the FJR in order to have the old AVON AV45 replaced with a new one I ordered from FJRGoodies (way good job packaging the tire I...

Radman in particular should appreciate this. Hopefully I won't be required to attend class with him. New Bill of Rights B) The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. "We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help every one get...
