I know another F'n ignition question, but only KIND OF... see, I did the hotwire and it worked, and I started her up and I was happy. Then I realized the power was on continuously but I wanted to be able to shut it off so I inserted a toggle switch as recommended/shown (thanks HiYo).. and it...

Who is using what in the way of gauges for tire pressure? I have been using a digital (monkeygrip) and two traditional pencil-type, as well as a round dial version... NEVER had the same reading with more than two of them, and never the same two. Yes, I know how to apply the gauge to the stem...

Well, I said it in the title... looking at dual-sport bikes. I used to ride MX looong time ago, miss it, but don't need the physical abuse, so I am thinking about at least riding trail. I run trails, I hike trails, and I love being away. Speed isn't so much the issue here, but power and...

There is a serious hubbub in the news over the sightings of "something" in the great state of Texas... The witnesses all say about the same thing... The machine was black in color, unlike anything they've ever seen, and accelerated at light speed... I wonder, has Warchild been riding his Busa in...

Hah! I'm guessing that is the topic around some of these bike clubs as I see more and more of it. Some of these guys are wearing flip flops!! I believe everyone should choose their own attire, helmet or not, gloves or not, long or short pants.... etc. But fer cryin' in the mud! Fukin' shoes...

Has anyone listening had the Southern Utah experience that involves the Markaguant High Plateau Scenic Byway (route 14 off of I-15, from Cedar City East, towards 89)? I am most likely headed there at the end of May for a solo ride and running trip. Info I am looking for includes: ***road...

Here's the deal... I have a four day window in the last week of May that I have free reign to go for a ride. I'd like to ride out one day, spend a day or two "doing stuff" (which includes some trail running, drawing, and some scenic rides) then head back to the barn. Is there anyone about a days...

I know this is somewhere around here but I couldn't find it specifically. I have a generous amount of tread left on my Metzlers (orig equip) but the sumbitches are "cupping". I only have 6500 miles. Why would they do that? I keep inflation appropriate, never exceed 132mph, wife and I aren't...

Hey, since the wife and I won't be making the trip out to Colorado I thought I might open the invite to anyone passing thru Salt Lake city (to or from the event) for a hot meal or the use of some basic tools (I own a saws-all and a pair of pliers, works on everything). We can bandage up your...

Yeah, I know... bikers are gentle people and eschew violence and fisticuffs... but not everyone is a biker, and some don't play fair. Sitting astride a hunk of metal that isn't running is a very DIS-advantageous place to be should someone have bad intentions. I recently purchased a couple of...

Had a very unusual riding experience yesterday, and it actually disturbed me beyond the point of shrugging it off. I was simply riding home at the end of a work day, but for some reason I found myself pulling Stoopid Beginner antics at every measureable point along the way. Sounds petty, but...

I only spent a few hours with a select few of you up in Park City, which seemed appropriate as I am a newbie to the FJR family, and the new guy needs to shut up and observe, (before deciding his place in the pecking order...) in this case it was disorder, of the best kind. I had the pleasure of...

Hey all, I have a noise (actually, my bike has a noise) that sounds like a "spoon in a glass" that is vibrating, or a strip of tinfoil rattling in a breeze... (only way to accurately describe it...) and it's noticeable at lower rpms while the bike's in motion...(It might be there at higher and...
