Read an article somewhere several years ago about this place called Motopia that had a biker cafe in Dallas. The spot is apparently no longer in operation but they still get together for drinks/dinner at local Dallas spots for a bike nite. Their site also shows they organize rides around the...

Just hoping there are some local to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area FJR enthusiasts who are also electrical geniuses! Talking to the two dealers who sell and presumably work on Yamahas, one in Irving said $150 to trouble shoot but if they had to remove plastic, would charge more. Really? How can you...

Got the fun envelope from the Texas DMV the other day, asking for another annual donation. Considering the heat (101+), didn't want to ride too far today. The only Yamaha dealers near me are 15-20 miles east or west but there is another motorcycle dealer within the same zip code and I have used...

Met a few fellow FJR riders who have yet to ride the Twisted Sisters down in the Hill Country, west of Bandera. Look here for more good info, but I think we should plan a ride soon. How does March look for some of you geezers! The attached pic was taken on 337, towards Vanderpool, also home to a...

On my way back from a brief trip a week ago, as I was pulling into my drive, the engine seemed to stop/start quickly. On subsequent trips, at speeds over 45-50, it would seem to stop/start where it was as if you had completely rolled off the throttle and then went back to speed. A short lunge...

A few of us local to the DFW are met for breakfast yesterday in Hurst. How about we go slightly farther for some good BBQ down in Stephenville? Not too far from the Dallas area or San Antonio, etc. Hard 8 is always a good choice. If you are interested in heading there for a meet up, reply to...

A few of us are going to meet for breakfast in Hurst, at Bacon's Bistro & Cafe. Saturday 1st Oct They are located: 714 Grapevine Hwy, Hurst, TX 76054 (also known as Highway 26). See you there. I will be on a 2019, gray FJR1300A if anyone is wondering! Not the one below. And I will be wearing a...

I have spent the past couple of weekends taking my 'new' 2019 apart or at least uncovering so I could get to the battery and appropriate locations to wire in a new power center, PC-8 from a company based in Japan called Eastern Beaver. They sell fuse blocks, wiring harnesses that are...

Likely should have done this sooner, but I am now back on an FJR after a two year digression to a Tracer 900GT. Sold to a rider new to street bikes from Colorado and flew up the next day to Donelson's Cycles in St. Ann, next door to St. Louis and rode back 710 miles to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area...

Howdy from near DFW airport in north Texas. Just flew up to STL Last Saturday to pick up my 2019 from Donelson Cycles and ride it 710 miles back to the Dallas area. What a great ride, even if a little warm. Just as I remember, this being my 3rd FJR in many years. As we age, sometimes the...
