    New Toy

    Canadian FJR,   I recommend seeing if you can get your hands on David Hough's book on riding a sidecar, "Driving A Sidecar Outfit".  It is known as the Yellow Book and widely regarded as the gold standard for learning how to ride a sidecar.  It is out of print and hard to find (there is a used...

    As God intended.  All sidecar rigs do so.

    New Toy

    Welcome to the world of the Ural, Canadian FJR!  We have two Gear Ups.   Ours are newer (2018 & 19) and have fuel injection.  They are a blast to ride especially off pavement (I never realized what a great dirt rider I am until I got the Ural) and in the snow.  If you can hear a tic over the...

    2012 Tenere

    I had a 2012 S10.  I replaced the clutch basket which eliminated the chudder it was having and replaced the CCT with an adjustable aftermarket version.  Pay particular attention to the seal of the stick coils to valve cover.  My left side spark plug hole would leak and corrode the plug.  It was...

    NFL Commercial and Motorcycles

    Good effort by the National Felony League in combining the worst aspects of the league, its fans and motorcycling. I take a knee in awe of their accomplishment

    1930 Stream Line KJ Henderson Motorcycle

    That is an Art Deco design that was hot in the early 1900s.  Better check to see if there is an extended warranty before buying.

    PAIR valve issue on my work ride

    You must realize that you cannot get an informed response unless you provide information such as year, make and model of your bike.  A picture of the parts you are concerned about will also help, but then, you may have burned your bridges.

    I kissed a GSA...and I liked it

    I also have a GSA. 580 pounds wet but feels lighter. It is my 11th BMW (counting Spousal Units five) and we never had a final drive issue. BMW seems to have gotten a handle on their FD issues. It is a great long distance touring bike.

    '13 FJR1300 in Montana....

    I am the seller, I waited to respond so that the thread could develop. First, I will respond to the idea that I intended to deceive a potential buyer. I offered to facilitate a fly and ride for any buyer by providing local transportation and hosting him in my home for a few days. I assumed...

    Motorcycles and Millenials

    Lots of food for thought and spirited "Polar Vortex" discussion here! Words from a man that has finally run out of farkles to bolt onto his new GSA and Fester's V Strom. This is only going to continue unless someone starts a Go Fund Me page to buy him more chit.

    Okay, but before I go for the juggler, when you wrote - overweighted pigs of today - were you talking about BMWs or John and me?

    2018 - A true Candy Butt Association Year (moto miles)

    I understood Ray (Money spent ?????????????? Ask Don for the pictures) to mean for Don to show us the pictures of the cash that was spent on the restoration. It will probably take a wide angle lens, but money well spent for sure.

    1963 BMW R69s Resto Project completed

    I got a glimpse of the R69 while at Reuban Run. It is a beautiful piece of work to be sure. Well done Ray!

    Are you a "Good" rider?

    Being a good rider entails not out-riding your goodness. Being alive and ambulatory are positive indicators.

    Super Tenere Recall

    I received notice today from Yamaha that my 2012 Super Tenere is being recalled. I sold it over a year ago, but thought I would alert other ST owners in case you are overlooked. The recall is for 2012 and 2013 XTZ12 Super Teneres. The reason for the recall is: it is possible for a gap to open...

    What a Phucking Mortorcycle ! 14 R1200 GSA

    The front tire is susceptible to scalloping especially if you run the recommended PSI. I have been running 40 front and rear and have gotten good wear out of the front. My GSA is tough on rear tires. 5,000 miles is about the best I have achieved. I used Anakee 3, Avon Trail Rider, Shinko Raven...
