    ** BRODIE NEEDS OUR HELP ** Serious Collision **

    Heal well Brodie, may they offer you the best in pain medication. I guess I need to read this forum more often, this happened in my back yard. I ride the river everyday back and forth on my commute to Sacramento. I'll keep an eye out for the missing side case, looks like all the good people...

    2010 FJR

    Same here, 2008 26K miles not one issue. Now if you want issues let talk about my current BMW K1200LT or the string of BMW's I've owned before this one. :o I've had a love hate relationship with all of them. Now the FJR is pure love baby! So what if it has a few annoyances, fix it and ride...

    No Complaints

    I love mine too, but I kept my BMW LT also, love it for two up touring. The only problem I have with the FJR is that I don't get to work on it near as much as the LT. :lol2: :blum:

    catalytic converter Question (Idle Stumble Problem)

    Interesting, I have an 08 that stumbles off of Idle but not all of the time. Seems to do this on when the engine gets fairly warm and then sits for 10 to 30 minutes. Upon restart it stumbles off idle but then smooths out. This has been going on the last couple of thousand miles. Doesn't do it...

    Scorpion EXO-1000 Owners

    Yes - It's dead on. But The 1000 is not as quiet as the 700, the sun visor rattles a little in the wind. Also the extra venting which works very well creates more noise. I'm not sure I would repeat the purchase.

    Tahoe tonight, Walker tomorrow, Tioga Sunday

    I saw ya, and about 10 others by my count. I was on the Black FJR between Truckee and Sierraville, Hwy 89 going the other way. There was a hand full of FJR, couple of Beemers and ST's riding with a purpose, I figured it was the Cal 24. Me I was just out learning how far the new FJR would lean...

    Anyone up for a ride Sunday June 8th?

    FYI - After riding this route today I can not recommend going out to Hell Hole the road is bad enough to bend a rim. Starting right after French Meadows the road gets very bad with sink holes, heaves, pot holes and lots of gravel. Take it real slow and miss as much as you can, on todays ride we...

    The Mexican place is good (on the right hand corner at 193), I also tried the pizza place which opened up last year - just fair. BTW the roads are - Foresthill to Mosquito Ridge to French Meadows to (Hell Hole up and back - recommended great view) to Eleven Pines to Wentworth Springs back to...

    Anyone up for a ride Sunday June 8th?

    Sounds good but as luck would have it I'm leading a ride on Saturday over that exact same route. If you decide to go in a different direction, I might be up for something on Sunday.

    Sacramento to Morro Bay (6/6)

    This is another ride this FNG can't make on that weekend but I have two words for your route to the coast - Nacimiento Fergusson. The Nacimiento-Fergusson road starts in Fort Hunter Ligget just out of Jolon, south of King City. One of the best routes to the coast period. Bring your A skills and...

    Just trying to learn who's who around here. I was leaving work today at about 2:40PM at L st and Capital City Freeway. Saw a Gray FJR get on the freeway right in front of me and follow me all the way to Roseville. A couple of hours later I was heading out up I-5 toward Woodland and exited on to...

    Introducing the FJR to the Hood

    FNG here, made my introductions in the new member area and today took a little day ride around the foothills up from Sacramento. The FJR was smooth a silk and I soon settled in to a fantastic day ride. I could repeat all the work I just did on another site or just link it right here. I hope...
