    Fuel Stop Follies

    Going with the "vocational byproduct"......that is probably WHY you noticed potential threats. A great many people would not have even been aware of their surroundings.

    Hooterville 2016 - Oct. 6-9

    I hope you guys have a safe, enjoyable ride !! I will be there that weekend, but with a different group and at a different hotel.....matter of fact, it is the Quality Inn, just down the street from you guys, near the Dixie Café. For the past 5 or so years, I have met up and ridden with a group...

    Seat concepts rear seat possible group buy

    Yes, if they can make me a rear to match my front.....I assume this new rear is going to be a bit wider/thicker for more passenger comfort?

    Stumble/surging on 2014

    Thank you for the TPS tip......I am still gonna replace plugs, air filter and to the TB Synch...and if that doesn't solve the problem, I will order the TPS over the winter months..... If I were double jointed, I'd be kicking myself in the can for not buying the extended warranty....

    Stumble/surging on 2014

    I found a thread that outlined similar symptoms very shortly after posting mine. Hope to hell my issues aren't that problematic !! If so, I will park this thing untl next spring and trade it in on a new one ! !

    Stumble/surging on 2014

    Bone stock 2014.....28000 miles. At about 25k, it began to develop a surge while at cruise RPM.....doesn't really matter which gear or speed, although it is more prevalent in 4th and 5th. While keeping just enough throttle to maintain speed (either manually or with the cruise set) it will...

    Michelin Pilot Road 4's

    Just checked Revzilla.....both the BT30GT and BT30EVO are out of stock in our sizes. Guess I will be going with either the PR4s or the Angel GT....I have never tried either of them, but have gone thru two sets of BT30GTs....great tire, but I am always up to trying something different, provided...

    From R1 to FJR; my observations

    I regressed as I got older... Started riding as a kid....went thru the usual graduation of bikes....Mini Trail 50, XL 70, CB 125, etc.... Bought a Ninja 600R when I was 24....rode it for four years, and then went bikeless for about 11 years due to kids, career change, etc. Got back into bikes...

    Am I Spoiled by the FJR?

    I had a sportbike back in the late 80s, when I was in my mid 20s. Went bikeless for a few years, and then went the cruiser route. Had a HD Roadking, followed by an 02 Ultra Classic, a 2010 Ultra Classic, and then a 2012 Goldwing. Bought my 2014 FJR in December of '14.....put close to 19k on...

    Heated Gear with mesh jackets

    My first answer is yes....but it also depends on the length of the trip. I have an Olympia mesh jacket.....with the liner in it, along with my Gerbings liner, it is good into the low 40s.........if I were on a trip where I was expecting hours of low 40s, I would wear my textile jacket...

    Goodbye Arai, Hello Shoei

    Good looking lid !! While I understand the benefits of hi-vz gear, I am not quite ready to go "full dork mode" yet. I have a Scorpion R-710 which has a black./ hi-viz pattern, and an Olympia jacket which is also black/hi-viz. nope.......not ready for solid hi-viz yet....... Just...

    Suzuki DL650 Adventure? Good bike?

    My son has a an 08 DL 650....off road capabilities? Keep in mind that #1, it is NOT a motocross bike...but put more off road oriented tires on it, and it will do just fine for what most of us are going to do. Downside to THAT, is the off road oriented your tires are, the less "sport oriented"...
