    Anyone have advice for a torn calf muscle?

    Yes, push her to agree on getting the ultrasound - as good as most doctors are, they do occassionally overlook something like a clot. You stated you did have a bruise - so we know that something in your leg bled - and then eventually created a clot. If that clot is any real size and breaks away...

    Anyone have advice for a torn calf muscle?

    Hey Jammer125, sorry to hear of your current leg issue. This triggered a memory for me - and I thought I would suggest that you go get a soft tissue ultrasound scan done to confirm whether or not your calf now has a blot clot at the site of the injury (?). The scary part of this type of injury...

    Going to See the Eclipse?

    Back in August 2017, the band of totality for that eclipse event passed about a thousand miles south of where me and my riding buddies live in Central Alberta. Here are a couple pics we took at about high noon in the hamlet of Lowman, ID that day. Of course we brought proper eye protection with...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Gave my Gen 3 a visual inspection, then added stabilizer to a full tank, ran it a few minutes to get it into the injectors. Then I gave her a nice synthetic Rotella T6 5w-40 transfusion + new filter. Tucked her into the side bay of my garage with the battery tender plugged in, and kissed her...

    FJR Forum Decal design

    I second the motion (and would stump for my own well designed FJR t-shirt) if that ever happens here. ;)

    FMJForum Decals - Show Them Off!

    Hey Cycle, I think I am still unclear about how we actually get our sweaty little hands on these new decals (?). Will they be snail-mailed out to registered forum users?

    Almost 4 decades in system / integration testing in various industrial technologies A non-trivial amount of time spent in CAD (schematic capture, PCB design, 3D model sketches) electronic fabrication used to do long distance cycling (road bicycle) through da mountains A little home furniture...

    Sending a custom route to an Android phone

    harper: You do of course have to already know whether or not your current Android devices actually include the necessary on-board GPS transceiver chipset (actually known as GPS in the USA, and a good European standard created by Russia years ago known as GLONASS). Of course China is...

    Sending a custom route to an Android phone

    Hey harper, for about 8 years now, I have been happily planning my longer roadtrips on my computer with GoogleMaps. It has offered us up to 10 layers (you can enable/disable viewing in your browser's private session), and when I am satisfied with how I want the route to direct me, I have...

    Name That Place Game

    I'll step in here, and offer what I believe is the correct answer:    - westbound AB Hwy 93, through the Sinclair Canyon, heading into Radium Hot Springs. Buddies and I up here roll through there (eastbound/westbound) at least once each year. Sorry guys, having trouble uploading another new...

    Every now and then over the last couple decades, I've told someone I can help them "for chocolate".  All depends upon what the real commitment to see a repair through becomes...

    Name That Place Game

    Sorry my friends - didn't mean to drop the ball on this thread  😭.  A little distracted here at home base in the frigid north. :cold: Will stroll through some of my own travel pics and return here soon to try and participate again.

    moving

    Hey Jimmy REB, you're in for a treat, I've come to appreciate the western third of North America offers a hell of a lot of great riding, through twisty mountain roads, high vista passes, and often, less traffic than you may experience in the east.  Well, as long as you schedule your outta town...

    Tire longevity

    I too, am disappointed at the PR5's apparent lack of mileage life. My fave tires for long life had become the Avon 3D-XM (eXtended Mileage) variant (180v55R17), but now it seems Avon has replaced them with something called Spirit model tires (?). Used to get almost 16K Kms (~10K miles) out of...
