For a ride that took place back in October.

Can Marquez be stopped?

I was reading about the 12 hour rally over in the RR thread. We've looked at doing things like the BRM, and longer events. However, a one day event sounds like a lot of fun. A quick google search didn't really show anything in the PNW area. Have you heard of any such thing? Thanks, Lauren

In a different thread, I mentioned that I was going to add LED Strips to my mirrors. I started that project today. I had to remove the inside center panel (again), and remove the side panels. Actually, I only got as far as the left side of the bike. However, I did get the left side working...

I'm trying to remove the inner-front panel, and step 1 of the process (page 4-7 for those following along at home), says to remove the headlight adjustment knob. And that's it. I've been pulling on the knob, and I've even tried to pry it up a little, but it hasn't budged. Is there a secret...

OK, it's not Friday, but I wish it were, so I'm opening a can of worms. On this forum, time-and-again, I've seen many of the posters claim that the Gen1 FJR is the superior model. With all the refinements to the bike over the years, I'm hard pressed to see how that could possibly be the case...

So the wife is going to be out-of-town for the weekend, and I started making up "Fanciful Plans" on how I would spend my time. The most fanciful was staying in my jam-jams and having beer for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then I learned my canyon cages and bag guards will be delivered on...

So there was supposed to be a Teddy Bear Run in February. Unlike parts East, it never snows in the Seattle Area. So, of course, it snowed. In March a few of us wanted to get together and do a make-up run. However, the weather did what we should have expected, and the skies opened up...

So there I was, standing outside the stop and rob next to my bike, eating a burrito, when the flame-painted Harley pulls in. I nod at him as he gets off his bike, and he nods back. After he gets his beanie helmet off, he saunters over and asks, "BMW?" Unlike some people, I have left every...

To wet your appetite:

I've seen on this forum and others that it is better to use two fingers to operate the brake and clutch. I've looked online to find articles on the subject, but they only describe the technique. They don't offer much, if anything, on why it is a good idea. The only two "why to" explanations...

The plan was to ride up to Granite Falls, and then take one of our favorite routes home before the rain fell. The weather report gave us until noon for a 0% chance of rain, raising to 10% at 1:00 PM, and higher after that. We set our target to be home at Noon. We hopped on the Interstate, and...

It was time to take Lady Feej on her first "long" interstate run. The route was simple: Take 405 South to I-5, and then continue South to Centralia. At Centralia we would eat cheeseburgers, and then head home. An easy round-trip distance of 190 miles. We scoured the weather reports to help us...

Wednesday, February 26 was a sunny day in Seattle. In spite of the yellow, burning orb in the sky, we decided to ride. I'm still recovering from my broken shoulder, but I've been given the OK to ride. My arm is still lacking in strength and range-of-motion, so I didn't want to push it. A short...

Where: North bound 405 around Totem Lake When: 3:30 PM Bike: Silver -- I'm fairly certain a 2013 Rider: Yellow and black jacket Would that happen to be anyone on the forum?

We are riding from the Seattle area to Eureka this summer. We are talking about taking the PCH through Southern Washington, Oregon, and a little bit of Northern California. We'll need an overnight stop about mid-Oregon. What are your suggestions?

I wish I had my Vulcan 500 back. Not permanently mind you. Maybe just long enough for a ride. I haven't ridden in seven weeks. This is the longest I've been off a bike in many years. Technically, I've been on a bike several times in the last month, but riding pillion doesn't count in my book...

It's time for the third in the trilogy of Lauren_TK packing threads. We've discussed tools and safety stuff. Now is the Winter of our discontent made glorious Summer by this "What do you pack for an over-nigher?" list.* Here are rules for this list discussion: I'm not interested in farkles...
