    2006 FJR1300 Heli Bar Update

    hola, talked to the heli-bar folks the other day, and the net result was i got put on a "notify when ready" list. the indication was that the price would likely be in the $3-400 range, but until machine time was pinned down, they wouldn't know for sure. this isn't really NEW info, but it...

    i can't remember who uses this slogan in their board signature, but i stole it.... :) i had several of these made up in blue and several more in silver. thy're the kinda deal where the letters are loosely stuck to the TOP paper, and after you get it where you want it, you press them in...

    Bad Day at the Gas Pumps

    i HATE those ring-things. i always pull that dude back with the left hand while filling with the right. i watch the fuel level and don't count on auto shutoff. and i have to say that that little doo-dad inside the tank with the small holes and the one filler hole is a pain in the arse. glad...

    Bad day for me...06 down

    you're going the right way, in my opinion. i had a 15 mph low side on my valkyrie when i goosed a bit with my rear tire on a paint stripe while cornering. dumb, dumb, ditty dumb. looked like a few hundred, maybe. except the front forks were actually tweaked. bike was still rideable, though...

    Popular among first-time buyers -- Hayabusa

    when i first got licensed in washington state, back in 68, there was only ONE motorcycle endorsement. you could test on a trail 90 and then get off it and onto whatever. somewhere along the way, they had a tiered endorsment based on CCs. under 250, under 750, and unlimited. i don't know HOW...

    Anyone install a sound system on an 06 yet?

    terrestrial radio=how many minutes of actual music/hour? free just doesn't work anymore. somebody's got to pay the bills, and i'll do so gladly rather than have to listen to all those freakin commercials. if i want to listen to jabber on the radio, i'll turn on air america. or if i'm feeling...

    My 6 days sans saddle...

    OK, i'll bite. but with all due respect to what looks like a real comfy seat on rogue's bike, the thing looks like it belongs on a tractor. does yours look like that, too? do all russell's have that huge bowl shape? thanks, shu

    Skyway's '06 FJR Frame Sliders

    happy to have my 06 skyway's on, but forgot i had expressed interest in the blue. skyway, apparently, did not! anyway, since i have the bigarse polished bar ends, think the polished aluminum sliders would look better. anybody want to trade for blue? ian? i'll pay the shipping... shu

    '06 buzz through the bars

    my buzz isn't bad, or i'm just a numbnuts, but i don't feel any appreciable buzz through the pegs, and i'm coming off a valkyrie. that boxer 6 is SMMOOOOOTH. i did add some stout bar end weights that sunnyside had when i picked the scoot up. they're machined billet and look really nice. when...

    Notice anything different?

    oh, i am SO all over that. the other day i got behind some yahoo who had just loaded his truck full of hay, then pulled out on the two lane highway in front of me (double yellow line area) and drove 40 in a 55 for about the next mile before i could get around him.. the vents were ejecting hay...

    FJR insurance

    Why did you/they sell the FJR 1300?

    all true... you know, then there are the other percentage of us who AREN'T affluent. i bought the FJR on a day when i was feeling flush, and then i rode it and fell totally in love with it. now i am contemplating a huge hole in my cash reserve - (who am i kidding that WAS the cash reserve...)...

    Am I wrong

    i am not a conflict avoider in any sense. i also do not seek conflict. but the way this one is headed, your friend needs representation and he needs it yesterday. nice guys carrying a load of guilt for things falling apart give up and roll over and take it the hard way. if they can mediate...
