    Just wanted to say hello quickly

    hey daniel, well, there's no doubt you got more bike than you NEED at this point, but with the proper respect for it, which it sounds like you have, you'll do fine. the biggest concern i have for you at this point is not going 140 and killing yourself. you sound smarter than that. i worry...

    nice stuff

    odot came to a conclusion that was a non sequitur. so what's new? i may be a FNG, but even i can tell when this guy is seeing the world through a bottle of jack, eh? ;) great report, man. talk about writing style. i think i held my breath while i read it in one burst... shu

    Adventure continued

    was considering, online only, joseph-enterprise as my punch-out destination when i decided on whidbey island. looked pretty ideal: lots of sunshine, affordable real estate, nice artist community. kinda located in bumf$$k, but that's part of the deal, right? have yet to get there in person...

    Know what I hate about my new '06?

    we don't let that stop us. how do you like the shield? :>) you sport bike guys are so easy! you're used to misery. now come off a gold wing and you can whine about comfort and fit and finish. of course, while you're whining, your tongue is hanging out the side of your wide-eyed mouth...

    FJR capable of sticking to Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki 636, and BMW K1200

    yeah, the rider is ALWAYS a factor. and an 1800 wing in the hands of a competent rider is a scary thing to behold. i got sweaty palms just reading the report. thanks, man. shu

    Technical Bulletin on 17mpg Issue

    seems to me that this forum will likely still be around when and if you sell your feej. wouldn't be much trouble to point out to a prospective purchaser that this is the reason for the title issue. document your earlier miles and get the fix if you care about it. should cover things...

    Skyway's '06 FJR Frame Sliders

    ian, know you are incredibly busy. goodonya. paypal-ed on the 14th. got any idea when i might see 'em? just curious, not worried. except about dropping the feej before they get here... had a spasmo tippy-toe moment in the garage today, and found out that, like a mother who can lift a car...

    Need a lawyer?

    i'm only going to respond ONE time to this little bit, because i have seen what happens when people who have a common interest (motorcycles) start focusing on their differences. but to take a jab at clinton, who did not rape anyone (including hillary) and suggest that he is a murderer, and then...

    WSF Etiquette for Motorcycles

    yeah, just to make it confusing in mukilteo, they have ticket sellers down at the bottom, but only on weekends. especially if you arrive just as the boat is finishing unloading, it is a pain in the arse. i have commuter tix, so i just go up front no matter what, but since you never know...

    What's Up With The FJR?

    another noob with a thought: if you ride/own one bike at a time, it takes a little while to get accustomed to the new scoot. the more miles i put on my FJR, the more i love it. i have developed a different touch on the throttle. when i jump on my 1200 wing, which used to feel svelte and...

    WSF Etiquette for Motorcycles

    well, the confusion here is from the term "line". there are TWO lines, sort of. those that already have tickets and are waiting on the ramp in multiple lines for the ferry, and those who are stacked up waiting to even get a chance to go to the ticket booth. basically, you do NOT have to sit...

    2007 FJR

    when i was shopping for the new bike, that black ST almost got me. i have always said there are only two colors for a bike: black and chrome. (guess that proves i'm a recovering cruiser rider, eh?) then i rode the ST and the FJR. for me, no contest. the ST was nice. a little TOO nice...
