Welcome home. I look forward to riding with you in 2011 when you are allowed to get the FJR out of the garage. I am sure it will be ok for you to go in and visit it once in awhile. You can sit on it and make vroom, vroom noises. :bike:

Maybe that is what they are hoping. It is very difficult for an insurer to get out of a segment of the insurance business. There are a lot of regulations and they vary State by State. Maybe they came up with another approach. Make sure no one wants to buy coverage from us. They can't just jack...

If this promotion causes anyone stress can I suggest you relax with a "Fairy Fingers" massage. I don't even want to know what the "Little Shy One" is. From the Cap Tremblant Spa website: * Californian (30, 60 minutes) * Swedish (30, 60, 90 minutes) * Little shy one (30 minutes) * Fairy...

Saint Donat. I like the sound of that. That means donut in French right? gypsy

For people planning to tour in Quebec in the days following CFR please be aware there is a major holiday on the 24th. Have accommodation booked in advance. I know this from a painful experience. https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/canada...an-baptiste-day gypsy

Just had a look at the weather for Mont-Tremblant and looks like a few days of rain in the near future. Hopefully that be the same in the areas of the fires. And then stop by the time of CFR. gypsy

I'll just eat extra Wheaties at breakfast...that will show them!! :)

Something that highly polished just isn't going to hold the dirt and grime! :)

The cover over my swing arm pivot went missing on a trip with Canadian FJR (I suspect he may have popped it off to wash it as he has a touch of motorcycle OCD and he lost it). I am wondering if anyone has replaced theirs with something exotic? Pasty, extra large beer cap, diaphragm? I found one...

The NASA link appears to be from 2005. But maybe those are Quebec years!!

Dealer must have only hand tightened the bolt. Vibrated loose and feel out after about 100 km. No problem with the threads. When I bought a new one it just tightened right in. And has done so every oil change for the 3 or 4 years since this happened. The dealer that did this is now out of...

I torque the drain plug but only to 25lbs. (There were a number of instances where folks were stripping the threads when trying to get to 32.) Hand tighten the filter. Replace the crush washer if I remember before refilling with oil. Otherwise I tell myself I will do it the next time. Have...

Hold on there now!!! No one said there was going to be drinkin'!! I suppose there will be cursin', gamblin' and other sinnin' goin' on as well? This could offend my delicate sensibilities!!! Oh what the hell...put me down for a 24 of Stella.

Sorry I am serious.

I just received an email that said effective immediately 29 Dreams is no more. https://www.29dreams.com/ For those who don't know it, 29 Dreams is a motorcycle resort (in a rustic way) near Birmingham, Alabama. I only stayed there one time for a few days but it was a great place. gypsy

Rob it looks like a good time was had by all....well maybe not that chair you were sitting on. :lol: See ya in Mont Tremblant in 44 days!!! gypsy

Scott it was Central Maine that fixed me up last May when I broke down on the way back from NY. It was my own stupidity that caused the problem but they checked the bike over and got me on my way at no charge. And they didn't even snicker (at least until I had left the parking lot). On the...

You could just ride the bike! ;) Actually I must come clean. I have a pick-up and a trailer because I thought it would be useful for hauling the bike. I have never had the bike on either of them though. But, like Jimmy Carter, I have sinned in my mind! gypsy

I just want to know why all the moose in Quebec are named 'Prudence'?

This whole exchange sounds uncomfortably homo-erotic. Please take this to an appropriate board. :popesmiley:
