I use a Givi Tanklock on my '04 FJR. Thousands of miles, all kinds of weather, no scratches. The one I have has a clear top that you can store your phone in (and connect to a battery if needed through a pass-through on the bag). More than $30 though.

Almost got sideswiped* by a car while riding NB 101 in S. Bay during morning commute today. What the car did: moved quickly and aggressively from Lane1 to Lane2, perfectly timed to catch me out while I was passing in Lane2 at 5-10mph delta. What the rider did: executed Right Swerve to shift...

Crash analysis / dogpile here. Lowsided going up Mt. Ham today. The bike slid over 50 feet into the opposing lane, I slid about 20 feet but stayed in lane. Result: minor/replaceable bits on the Street Triple look really bad (both brake levers, turn signal, exhaust can), otherwise no damage...

Event: Lowside entering semi-blind uphill right hander - front let go in gravel Location: Mt. Hamilton Rd, ~1/4 mile from entrance to Lick Observatory Me: 3.5 yrs "real" riding, 60k miles total (commute, recreational twisties, road trips, track), ~20x up & down Mt. Ham Rd Bike: '14 Triumph...

You read that correctly: just a little over 14,000 miles on this loaded ABS-equipped FJR. Many would say it’s not even broken in yet. Price: $4,250 with at least 1% (I'll round up) going to BARF if it sells to a BARFer. This price is firm because 1) it's clearly a smoking deal, and 2)...

I have a spare stock DRZ-S wheelset (21"/18", rotors, sprocket, etc) including 90/10 Shinkos with ~70% tread left and am interested in trading them for a DRZ supermoto wheelset (probably with some $$ on top). PM me if there's interest - also happy to move this to a different forum if appropriate.

Usal Beach: Lost Coast: Forest Rd 1: Shoe Tree (US395):

Off Coast Ridge Trail Tried to escape the heat. Failed.

Ride Report (3 of 3) Another aside: does Utah use the super-extra-slimey tar formulation for their tar snakes? I swear that stuff was like ice. There's currently a ~10 mile, almost continuous tar snake on UT-12 in Grand Staircase/Escalante that bisects the road, effectively halving your safe...

Ride Report (2 of 3) Approaching Moab/Arches National Park on UT-128 along the Colorado River. Found a decent campsite a mile or so off UT-128, had the whole site (almost) all to my self while the campgrounds along the river were completely full. Dead Horse Point (UT-313) overlooking the...

Ride Report - Open Ranges, Wind, and Coal Power Just got back - some ride highlights: The trip started with the Spring/Quincy Rally, my first. Great experience. Spent Friday trying to keep up with Flying Hun up Knoxville-Berryessa and La Porte. Saturday, over the Feather River on CA-70...

Rode through yesterday. Generally clean and dry. Still a lot of snow on top (not on the road surface) and there's a (fun) short water crossing on the west side where a creek flooded.

. . .starting ~Quincy and ending in South Bay. Exclude the routes one would ride on a BARF rally around Quincy. . . I'll be tacking on a few days of riding after the BARF Pit-Ho Spring Rally. I'm good for 10-14 hours saddle time per day and will be prepared for both motel-ing and camping (but...

In Covelo, after FH7, after a THill trackday:

Did 120 scrub-in(ish) miles with the brand new RS3s on the FJR, from goats to sweepers and a small stretch of slab (Alba, Empire, Smith, Bonny Doon, Swanton, Pesky, Alpine, blah blah). So far, I REALLY like these tires. Sidewalls (at 32/34 psi) offer a nice balance of vertical compliance and...

Passed by this south of Big Basin on 236 late this afternoon: No signs of the rider; hope he/she is OK. I can PM the plate # if this bike/rider is of specific interest to someone.

$40, pick up in Sunnyvale area. OEM (Factory) Windscreen from a 2004 Yamaha FJR1300 (Should be compatible with 2003-2005 model FJRs): ~4000 miles of exposure
