    death wobble

    Thanks for the advice so far. If you saw how bad the bars shake after a couple seconds you'd know why I called it a death wabble. I'm a dirt biker from way back and little crap doesn't bother me. The service guy said the mechanic who rode it was pretty apprehensive about riding it back...

    death wobble

    I have an '08 fjr with 12k miles on it. If I take my hands off the bars I'll get a bad death wobble during coastdown below 50 or so. This is not a minor shake. I don't feel it with my hands on the bars. I've never had this happen with this bike before and I let go fairly often. The shop...

    wacked another deer

    Bike shop says $2,700 to repair. Don't have the parts in yet. I'm still riding it until they do. Moose and Elk. Shit, I don't think they'd be nearly as much fun to hit. I'll stick with deer.

    wacked another deer

    There's an early doe season here that starts in a week or so. Bow season starts Oct 1. There's more than 3 and a half months worth of deer hunting seasons this year. They had cut back on the doe tags the last couple years so the population is getting more out of control than usual. I...

    wacked another deer

    Just came back from the dealer. They looked the bike over. The radiator is pushed back about an inch and a half on one side and is bent. Plus most of the plastic is bad up front. Still ride-able though. There are actually deer hairs stuck between the tire and wheel. They've been in there...

    wacked another deer

    I stayed up this time. Last time I went over the bars and straight down my lane of the road for about 70 yards. I was very lucky not to get beat up worse. The bike went 50 yards. I was out there with a range finder a couple days after it happened, mainly to find a pocket knife I'd lost...

    I have a deer whistle on the FJR. Didn't have one on the honda.

    wacked another deer

    I guess I don't know about the forks yet. I still rode it to the doctor, on the highway. Something seems a little off though. I'll take it to the shop tomorrow and let them have a look at it. The other good news is I finally get to go back to work. They wouldn't let me go back until the doc...

    wacked another deer

    Hit a deer with my honda interceptor almost 3 months ago. Totalled the bike. Killed the deer. Broke my wrist. On the way to the doctor today I hit another deer with my '08 FJR. I've had it about a month. It has about 1600 miles on it. It'll need alot of the plastic on the front replaced...
