    Tire recommendations

    I've had great luck with Michelin PR 's. The new set has about 4K on PR5's purchased and installed at Moon's motorcycle in Issaquah. Consider 4 seasons in the PNW!! The last few weeks have required Metro bus rides to get to Seattle due to ice and snow, but the sunshine today was a great way...

    WANTED: Front Rim

    Been there - done that. In 2016, on the return from Mazda Raceway WSBK races, returning to Seattle, I hit a large piece of rock on the PCH which was totally my fault with a few to many hours on the bike.... Front rim had a very big dent, but made it home OK and picked up a front rim for my 05...

    Argentina GP

    MM got off easy! He stalls the bike in the grid, bump starts it - (brilliant), ignores being sent to pit lane for the start, then plays bumper cars as he comes through the pack from the back after his penalty. Most any other riders would have been black flagged, or at best start the next race...

    EXTERNAL POLL: What are your A-model suspension settings?

    Great survey, and nice to see the results after you answer the questions, nice feature of Survey Monkey. Only got one question wrong as I always run the rear spring hard when solo.

    2018 Ride Planning - Who, Where, When and What

    Trying to sort out if WSBK and Moto America at Mazda Raceway will be on the calendar this year. PCH and especially Fort Bragg to Bodega Bay on "CA-1" is a favorite scenic route.

    One week - now parked

    Cold here in Seattle. This morning was ~30, with fog leaving a nice layer of frost on the road. Headed for the bus (Metro), and hope there will be very few bus rides this winter. FJR and the car pool lane to commute to downtown Seattle is SO much better than the bus...

    Michelin Road 5 coming to a store near you...soon!

    Just switched to PR4's this year to help with the rain "Seattle Weather" after ~ 4 sets of PR2's. One track day on the PR4's before the rainy season and winter commute. Only other tire I'm familiar with are Road Smart's... - not impressed due to uneven wear. Based on PR4's performance, Road...

    FJR in curves and twisties..?

    Enjoyed reading the feedback from all of the FJR members, and agree with the gangs opinions. This summer had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at Pacific Raceway (dry) in Seattle for a track day on the FJR... What a blast, but hard on the new PR4's. I'm looking forward to a bike that is...

    First Bike?

    Late 1960's early 70's Ducati Scrambler - Wide Case. Bike was very difficult to start when cold... so we would push it down the street, coast down the hill to bump start it, and then never let it cool down before trying to start the bike again. Dad rebuilt the engine and with some new paint...

    Looking forward to my first tech meet, and TBS check. Will meet up with the gang at the Carnation Starbucks.

    Garmin Zumo 660LM -- $310

    Ordered the 660 today for $309.00 and free shipping from GPS City. Thank you for the post, as I had been shopping for some time and this looked to be a very nice price. The new unit will replace a ~10 year old GPS and I'm really hoping I can sort out how to transfer my old routes that I stored...
