how often do you see "cheap" and "farkle" in the same sentence. well, except maybe for "i'm too cheap to add another farkle to my scoot". good one! tho' i gotta agree with the fugly bit. ;) shu

all the ferry docks have a holding area that holds a certain number of cars that have already paid and are waiting to load on the next or current boat to dock. most of us know "how much dock" each boat can hold. like if you are at keystone (in a cage), and you are not in lanes 1-7, you are on...

ok you guys. me too. i just thought i was a crappy old cruiser rider because i couldn't come into a corner kinda hot and then get off the decel and onto the throttle smoothly. valve lash, surge, herky-jerky - whatever you want to call it. and of course, i admit, i am nobody's squid. but it...

ditto john's comments on my 06. sorry i'm not smarter about the answer, but it is not TYPICAL of 06's as far as mine is concerned. now if you want to talk about it being a gnarly, top-heavy, tip-toe beast to maneuver in the garage, i'm TOTALLY with you on that one... good luck, shu

nice pics. i particularly like the combination of the full face helmet with the bare arms.... :o that way you'll be FULLY conscious to know how much the road rash hurts! just kiddin, man. i know you were out taking photos. no self-defense needed.... shu

trust me, even the locals find it confusing. i live on whidbey island so i know OUR rules, but i've almost been beat up for blowing by a line of cars waiting to go to the san juans... on your home route, it IS a huge benefit. one thing that will make me ride in the rain !! shu

ditto what boardsnbikes said. i just came over from the cruiser side, and i was SURE i would need risers. still only about 100 miles, but i am getting really used to this seating position. i have my bars on the "back" notch, which doesn't move them much, and then i tend to hug the tank pretty...

i just got my feejer a couple weeks ago, and already had plans for the 10th, but i would love to ride up there sometime in augutst with y'all. i'm not REAL fast, and i got my first ticket in 20 years last year. and then just to prove it wasn't a fluke, i got two more within two months, so i...

slipped my grip puppies on last night and went riding. maybe it's just cause i'm coming from that old fat valkyrie and gold wing group, but i LOVE em.. and when was the last time i could say that about a farkle that cost 7 1/2 bucks including shipping? just right, for me. and went on easy...

cort, welcome. ya did a good thing. i've only had my fjr for two weeks, and it's better every ride. look farther down the board. everything you want is here, and with LOTS of research and opinons. there's even a classifieds where you can pick up some farkles cheap if you're quick. spend...

Got it today. Here's the WHOLE STORY: https://www.whidbeyjames.com Bottom line, I'm very :yahoo: . Is it PERFECT? Not quite. Is it WAY better? OH YEAH... B) Check it out. shu

bubba, i am SO glad you asked that. my new cal sci shield will be here in the next coupla days, and you prolly saved me a BUNCH of frustration. this forum just rocks. almost as much as sunshine in the northwest. i am loggin some miles now. finally. but i gotta say, with a gravel drive and...

As the only party there, I may be the only party available to be cited :rolleyes: first, glad you are OK, and it really does sound like it coulda been MUCH worse. like into the back of the car? second, it sounds like you did everything you coulda - i tell myself over and over that if the...

sorry to be so dense, but what does TBS stand for? total bike service? why would that fix buzz? thanks, shu

cool. i gave my youngest daughter (now 22) as MSF course for her birthday, and she occasionally rides with us. she doesn't have her own bike yet due to finances, but she comes up to the island and rides the wife's bike. since i can't seem to sell the old naked wing, we can all three ride...

yeah, pickaxe, that was the one. you know you're driving english when the light switch has three positions: dim, flicker, and off. still, i miss the little roller skate. you couldn't drag a knee (as if i was some kinda squid), but if your arm was dangling out the side, you might file your...

ok - so far tonight's sojourn on the board has cost me $200.50 in farkles. a cheap night, as these things go, but still, i think it'd be safest to go to bed.... ride safe. grip puppies 'r' us...

stopped in today at motoplex in lynnwood, just north of seattle, to buy filters and oil and lube and stuff, and there are TWO FJRs sitting on the floor, brand new. i recognized the 06, but the one sitting next to it was silver - didn't investigate. didn't care. i asked the parts guy and he...

my just-in '06 came with the metz, and so far they're better than i am. did 214 miles home from the dealer, 120 of it in driving rain on I-90 and felt completely confident. i've run avon venoms on my valk and thought they were awesome. but this is my first sporty bike, so i'll sit back and...
