No wins, but no losses either. I only began running the modulator last month, the beginning of this riding season. I do carry a copy of the law with me. One of the local LEOs has since begun to wave to me as we pass one another. At least I think it's a wave, could be he's just shielding his...

Wow. I had no idea they were that expensive. The dealer is taking a hit and I'm sure they did not make much profit doing the recall work. Don't know how the mechanic let the tank fall, wasn't allowed into the work area. I'm wondering if they'll be installing my lock into the new tank. I hope so.

OK, SFO is 6 weeks away and I have not reserved a room yet. On a tight budget here and need to save $$. Anyone planning on staying at a campground? I'd consider this if any others are going to. How about sharing a room? PM me if interested. Thanks!

Had my TPS recall done today at a dealership I'd never been to before. This is the first time I've had the FJR to a Yamaha dealership since I bought it last year. They did a bang up job on handling the TPS recall and I'm pleased with their service. There was a glitch though. The mechanic let...

The TPS recall is done! Thanks for all the suggestions. I believe the TPS was the culprit. The 75 miles I did after leaving the dealership were trouble free and the throttle seems more responsive. No problems at idle or at low revs. The dealership was great to work with. I had a set appointment...

PennDOT will do this. The State Police will actually come to get the tags if not surrendered. When I was gone cruising on my boat for several years I stored my vehicles in PA. I contacted my ins co & paid only a very minimal storage rate for that time. Really, it was cheap. Less than $100/yr...

Just did some insurance shopping. 60+ yrs old, no accidents/claims/citations in over 10yrs, excellent credit, etc. Progressive......... $ 940.00 Allstate............... $ 770.00 Geico.................. $ 360.00 I've already got Geico, so I'll stick with them. Only good thing that came from...

Thanks, I may.

I used to go & see these at the fairs in Pennsylvania (no cars tho), really entertaining, always wanted to try it.

Well, I cleaned the kickstand this morning & went for a ride. No joy. The behavior seems to really get bad after an hour + of riding. Contacted a Yamaha dealer and determined the TPS recall was not done on my bike. They are ordering the TPS so maybe next week I'll have it swapped out. Sure hope...

After cleaning my kickstand switch today I went for a ride to see if there was any improvement. Nope. Anyway, I ended up visiting the shop that does my tire changes (super secret location) to ask about having my angled valve stems installed. While there I saw a black '09 FJR with NO FARKLES...

It's got 55k on it. Will have a look at all the above.

I've been running an Escort RD but it was kinda useless on its own. Was debating which direction to go. Either hear the detector through speakers/earbuds or get visual alerts via a Heads Up type device. I got an amplirider and a pr of Ety ER6i. The RD is now a useful tool and the Etys block as...

I don't think the water was the cause. Went for a short ride in the rain to see if the same thing would happen. It did not. The bike ran fine. Today though I went on a longer ride (no water encounters) and about 2hrs into it the engine was running rough and erratically. It did not stall but...

Yesterday I took a nice ride through Mark Twain Nat'l Forest. The access road to a small lake had water flowing over it, maybe an inch or two deep. I rode through it at a walking pace. No big splashes or spray. I stopped a minute later to take in the view. Engine running, in gear, clutch fully...

Hey! Will ya'll quit pickin on me :angry:

Hey! I just took mine down yesterday :rockwoot: . Daffodils are blooming, redbuds are getting ready for their subtle show, and the damn grass has gone from brown to green. Need to get my lawn boy scheduled. Oh, wait, I'm my own lawn boy. Will soon be pushing that infernal contraption around...

I'd have to think...If the bike was damaged/totaled, what would be my first farkle replacement. The Givi top case. This is the first bike I've had with a top case and it gets used every time I ride.

Vibes? What vibes? Only good vibes ;)
