    Pants

    I prefer the Relaxed Fit myself, the Regular Fit tightens up too much when I slide forward towards the tank. :D But now with the cooler weather approaching, I'm considering adding a pair of leg warmers. :unsure: Any suggestions about which brands come in tall sizes or fit a tall guy...

    Pennsylvania Riders - Check In Here

    Randy - Congrats on the 11!;-) Sunday was chilly and overcastt, but it worked out great for me. There still must have been a few hundred bikes there, some real custom beauties too. There were maybe 4 FJR's there, including a demo '06 AE from the Duc/Aprilla dealer (I forget their name, Morris...

    Anybody headed out to Ephrata VFW for breakfast today? They changed the weather forecast: Drying conditions with scattered storm debris on the roads. Should be a good day to ride.

    Octane

    There are a number of other posts where this topic is discussed to EXHAUSTion. Based on what I read there, I switched from premium to regular, saw my gas mileage actually go up when I switched to 87 octane, with no discernable decrease in performance.

    Turn signal cancellation

    Turn signals on the '06 are a step backwards. I can understand not wanting self-canceling signals. But accidents are just that, and it's the one-time you conscientious ass-biters forget that something bad happens. That's why I'd like to see a bigger, brighter arrow displayed somewhere, and...

    Pennsylvania Riders - Check In Here

    I was. I'm about 75% sure I'm doing this ride ... anyone else? Saw that earlier - can't! do it - if you go, I'd like to get a copy of the route sheet. Have traveled through that area previously, lots of great mountain curves, almost any road you pick, though some are better than others...

    Pennsylvania Riders - Check In Here

    Was anybody here at the EPHRATA Sunday ride-in yesterday (July 2) We saw several FJR's on the road, I never realized the stand-out road presence this bike presents to oncoming traffic, I guess because I've never seen one on the highway before, it's an awesome tall, sleek and slender profile...

    Motorcycle Personality Test

    clicky for MPT You just gotta try this out, only downside is that they ask you for valid e-mail address, so give them your spam-box. I stumbled upon it looking for links to the Sunday meet-up in Ephrata PA. (Different post later today) There were a bunch of H-D's whining about getting...

    Trunk Group Buy.

    I am sitting on the fence - I need to buy a topbox soon, wife mandates a backrest for anything over 100 miles - just can't decide on which one yet. :questionmark: A July 5 deadline was stated. If I go with the Yammi, I'll try to order by July 1, if there will be a group buy. Having...

    Motorcycle etiquette

    I'd have probably passed them before they realized I was coming up from behind. ...that can be a dangerous, so you gotta be careful and slow down a little to pass.

    New Vendor for 06 Luggage Rack

    Questions - - Definately Interested 1) Would the removable backrest be usable with a Givi bag mounted on the rack? Reason is that we don't like the Givi backrest and are hoping the one you will offer will be nicer. It would be a plus if the backrest could be used in combination with a...

    Beat the heat

    I didn't notice them at first. Do they light up the afterburners or just raise the flaps?

    I'm a pain in Eve's neck

    Either that or set her on a sofa cushion. Nice pics - steady camera - low speed film judging from the color saturation. (Please don't tell me it's a digital pocket snappy.)

    After work ride

    I left work today on my bike too. Ain't it a great feeling!;-) Do you, like, ever get off just meandering around aimlesslyand following a road wherever it goes? Glad you enjoy the ride.
