    Leaking Water Pump

    With the EOM around the corner, I thought I would give the FJR a wash and a "little going over." Getting the bike out of the garage with the motor running, I notice a little puddle underneath the O2 sensor. It's coolant! Digging a little deeper, the coolant is coming out of the weep hole on...

    3 For 3 on the Objectives List (rather long post)

    Having spent the prior part of the week of August 17 giving the FJR a once over that included an oil change and new front and rear Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires, the final part of preparing for my Iron Butt run was pretty much complete.

    ALFJR 1, Deer 0, FJR wounded

    I am in the process of taking a little trip from home in Detroit to Los Angeles. About one hour outside of Gunnison, CO, I miss hitting two deer, but not the third one that appeared from the shoulder of the road. I was focused on the first two that were to my left, when the third one decides...

    Arkansas Must Ride Roads?

    Work requires me to spend a few days in the Dallas-Fort Worth area at the end of April. I am seriously considering taking the FJR down from the Detroit area. One of the potential routes would have me coming through a good part of Arkansas, and I have heard some good things about some of the...
