    Licence Light Unit smashed

    Hey guys, Just got back from a moto trip out in the blue ridge parkway. Was a great trip but along the way my old man rear-ended my 2006 FJR. Fortunately no one was hurt and it was a slow speed impact (merely a bump.) The licence light unit assembly (the light bulb unit that illuminates the...

    Rider Magazine doing FJR Touring Test

    Wed. May 13th we were in the middle of our annual ride to the BRP. We were south of Asheville riding the BRP on a foggy day, me leading our 4 bike group and I decide to pull over on one of many scenic overlooks on this fabulous road. There just so happens to be two brand spanking new 09 FJRs...

    Canyon Dancer II bar harness

    Hate trailering my bike but I'm traveling with the old man in a few weeks and he can't handle much of the superslab via two wheels so we put our bikes on a trailer. Last time I trailered my bike I tied it down using the original Canyon Dancer bar harness and it smushed my throttle grip, and...

    Go Cyclesport - Chicago,IL

    A new service shop just opened up a few blocks from my home about a year ago. "Go Cyclesport" on the northside of Chicago. They mostly do build projects; taking stock supersport and decking it out with performance parts. But they also do service on just about any bike. They have a huge...

    Moving to Charlotte, NC

    Long story short - lived in Chicago for past 10 years, midwest my entire life. Wife is from Costa Rica and can't stand the weather here. We have our first little one on the way and wanted to move somewhere with: 1. Warmer climate (wife's main concern) 2. Great riding (my main concern) not...

    SW Wisconsin Fall Ride

    Did a spirited day ride yesterday from Chicago to some of the best roads of the midwest in SW Wisconsin. Awoke at 6am, was back at 9pm 880 miles. Unfortuantely living in pancake land (Northern Illinois and Chicagoland area) 400 miles of my 880 were on the superslab. Solo ride, woke up and it...

    Headed to the Blue Ridge Oct. 16th. How is the weather?

    Been to the BRP many times, but never this late in the year. Was wondering what the coldest temp is atop atop Mt. Pisgah in October. Been told it gets crowded when the leaves start to change - is this true? - any locals care to share some info? Much appreciated joe

    3 Days in SoCal on a BMW K1200S

    So my older brother pursuaded me after a while to come visit him in Southern California to go do some riding b/w LA and San Fran. I only had a couple days of vacation left this year so I decided to fly out there from the midwest and I'd rent a bike. If I had the time I'd ride the feejer out...

    Moving to Dallas, TX

    Strong chance the Mrs. and I will be moving to Dallas within the next year or so. We have been in Chicago for the past 10 years. Wife has a sister in Dallas so she is looking to be closer to family as well as some warmer weather. Can't ride in Chicago for a good 4 months out of the year -...

    Chicago, IL, Champion Cycle,

    Here it goes, August 2006: Last year I bought a 2006 FJR from Champion Cycle here in Chicago (I bought the only one from that shop according to the salesman). They are only a few blocks away from my house so I figure why not have them do the 600 mile service? The shop is not very big and...
