    FJR Forum Decal design

    No offence to the designer, but I’m not impressed. I think you go either less cartoonish or more cartoonish. Just my $0.02 since I was asked, but not a big sticker guy anyway so feel free to ignore my comments. 😉

    Yet another example of why half-helmets suck

    Damn... I coulda used that! :-P

    Yet another example of why half-helmets suck

    They have a place, but not on a motorcycle on a roadway ( or off-road for that matter!) We have laws that allow us to take our quads and side-by-sides on county roads but must wear a helmet. While many of us choose to risk a ticket when putting over to a neighbours or to the beach, a...

    Paying tribute to Twowheelnut and Beemerdons

    They do seem to fit well together. Having only briefly met Twowheelnut, I think I'll leave that tribute to those that knew him better than I. But as for Beemerdons, I shall pay tribute to him by using his trademark 'JSNS' whenever a discussion seems to be Don'esk, refers to him, or just makes...

    Going to the Dark Side

    What??? Only 10k a year? And in a state without Winter as well! :shakeshead: :P

    Going to the Dark Side

    And Ross, you coulda taken Cherise out for a run in Deer Lake to get a feel for the G-Max, but I'd definitely suggest you give it a try. I picked mine up at CanTire for $90.

    Going to the Dark Side

    Still haven't mastered the mobile version of this so here's a link to a photo on my bike. https://flic.kr/p/pexUVN Rode nearly 13000km in 18 days on her and it was great! After swapping out with a PR2 after I got home, I noticed a screw in the treads, but hasn't lost a bit of pressure...

    Going to the Dark Side

    I LOVE IT! ~13000 km on it 18 days. Tire still looks like brand new. Most of the time I didn't even remember I had made the switch. The most noticeable effect was the tendency for the tire to track into ruts, etc... on the roads. I really didn't notice a significant change in turn initiation...

    Going to the Dark Side

    Alright... I'm in! Canucklehead and I mounted a General Tire G-Max Tire on my beloved, resurrected 'Cherise' last night in preparation for my 5000km trek across the country to CFR. First impressions are not bad, but I have lots of road ahead of me to feel it out. Pics and details to follow!

    Shipping Two Jet Skis

    The seller already ripped him off by underestimating shipping. :( I suspect the shipping cost will actually go to the shipper, not into the sellers pocket. ;)

    Shipping Two Jet Skis

    Yikes!!! +flight +gas +lodging +food! That's an expensive way to consume 5 days of your time! I think that makes the $1800 look like a bargain considering the time and effort required. Maybe selling the trailer is not such a bad idea. It was a while ago, but I had my JetSki shipped across the...

    Look behind to see the future?

    There are definitely way too many full size trucks and SUVs out there with a single occupant clogging up the commute to our city core. Unfortunately with the urban sprawl, riding a bicycle to work is unrealistic for most. Lets hope the future holds something better for us.

    Shuting it down

    Well that just sucks! Guess I'll have to scrape my plans to get some Dog Tags from you. Thanks for all your contributions to the Rallys.

    Happy B'day, FJRGuy!

    Thanks everyone! I got myself a new-to-me 2007 that has been a wee bit underutilized from a relatively new forum member (see posting here.) I'm off to pick it up on the 16th. Since it's 3800km (2360mi) from home, my collarbone is still broken, and it's starting to get frosty up here, I'm just...

    Rider down

    Looking to put the bike in small U-Haul trailer to get it back to Calgary. Can someone tell me how tall an FJR is to the top of an N-Line dash? I 'd appreciate it.

    Rider down

    A day and a half later and ive pretty much had nothing to do but think. Heres what I think: - FJR riders are the best people in the world! Where else would you find people offering to go hours and hours out of their way to help transport your bike. Big thanks to everyone for your well wishes...

    Rider down

    Thanks for posting Marcus, and thanks everyone for your support and well wishes. I think I got off pretty well considering.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Today??? I flopped her around in a rocky ditch in the mountains. :-(
