    My experiment with BMW has taken a downturn

    Sorry to hear this Dale. You were positively brimming with joy over it just a few short months ago. I feel your pain though. I had an '02 VFR800 as a daily rider that I had to work on most every weekend. Not routine maintenance mind you. Major & minor repairs. I struggled over the decision to...

    Ray Slocomb, FjRay - Now on second honeymoon with Patti

    FJRay was one of those names that I could always count on seeing in posts and online every time I logged into the forum. So much so that I took it for granted that he would always be here. I didn't know Ray as well as I wanted. We met a few times here and there. Still, I knew him to be a kind...

    New mileage record on a single tank of gas

    Good to see some familiar names (says another ancient one). More on topic, yeahno. The only time I see my trip meter go beyond 240 is when I flip the lever on my aux tank. YMMV

    Bearly Flying (Don Peterson)

    I just saw this. Don was one of the first people I met in this wonderful community of ours. We spoke at length in the parking garage during WFO-6 while doing our "guard" duties. I learned a lot from him. He, along with OrangevaleFJR, madmike2, Big Chief Stinky Pants, ignacio and several others...

    RIP Tom Melchild/Cal24Master

    I really thought he was gonna beat this one too. I'm gonna miss his laughter, his quick wit, his story-telling that was guaranteed to make my sides hurt from laughing. Damn. I still grin when I remember rolling out at zero-dark-thirty with dozens of other fools into the freezing dark of Nevada...

    Appropriate bulkhead fitting for an FJR fuel cell?

    Same same... Sampson Sport Touring (second item down on Skooter's link). All required parts included in the kit to make a proper bulkhead fitting.

    Riding Tips from a Class-A CHP Moto Officer

    I have a MotorPatrol friend who pulls those kind of moves all the time. I have the same reaction you had each and every time he does it. :dribble:

    Whats Your Ride

    The plan is to ride my '07A. It only has 82K on the odometer. It's either that or my HD Street Glide. Since this is my first IBR, I want to take all the unknowns out of the equation. Riding season, what's that? ;)

    End Of Days - Zombie Apocalypse!

    Wouldn't you rather I take the V-Twinkie since loud noises attract zombies? Proof positive that loud pipes save lives! ;)

    End Of Days - Zombie Apocalypse!

    What!? You're actually gonna ride in this one? The end MUST be near! :P :lol: (Registered & paid minutes after I opened the invite. The sickness runs deep within me. :dribble: )

    We lost a forum member

    Thanks for keeping us posted Skooter. Heard about Greg's passing last night from Doug5551 after riding all day with my wife & friends. I've never used this word to describe anyone. With Greg, it seems to fit... Unflappable. I don't think I've ever seen him upset, about anything. His quick grin...

    Sturgis

    Yup. Heading out August 2nd. Just like last year, riding the Victory Vision and renting a house. See you there.

    Can an FJR1300 make it up the Dalton Highway?

    Absolutely! Just remember that whatever bike you take will NOT be the same bike when you return. (A quote I've heard from many who have made the trip.) What an adventure! Please post up pics and updates... Maybe a ride report?
