    5th Amendment doesn't cover YouTube

    Cycle World writer Kevin Cameron knows Squat

    Weekly, his articles drop onto my computer screen, always worth the read. This article above confirms my bias that I can't own an FJR ES model cuz " rule forbids use of external electrical or hydraulic systems to power such ride height changes." Thanks for looking. Cameron's detailed writing...

    Can GP fork inserts be refurbished?

    These GPs came out of my forks when Andreani cartridges were installed. Can they be used again? Can they go into a Gen 1 forks? Would giving them as a "hand-me-down" be an insult? Or an unreasonable cost to refurb? Thank you, Forum members.

    typical "busa rider

    No need to watch another YouTube video featuring bad "busa behavior, except for the Pit maneuver at 6:54 minutes, and maybe the denting of Tupperware at 4:24 minutes, or best is watching the officers unload on this guy, asking him all sorts of questions, trying not to kill him at 7:41 minutes...

    FJR gets attention in Seattle

    This FJR parked up tight to the curb on 6th Ave Seattle always draws urgent attention, lots of eyeballs, suggestive questions like, "is it fast" or "can I jump on"? Buy your own! is my thought but happily people just want their Amazon shit waiting for them at home. Thanks for looking.

    I forked myself.

    I removed my forks, dumped the oil, unscrewed RH tube internals complete, same with LH, and began to separate the outer tube from the inner tube. The lower bushings (and maybe middle) moved around and then jammed tight, leaving the tubes still connected but fully extended. This was my fault...
