Sounds intriguing, but I think I might just rent an HD again, they are fun for a short time. :red_bandana: Still want to try the Road King. Plus when I get back home I can appreciate the FJR more. :rolleyes: Maybe we can hook up for a ride, I'll be visiting Family in WinterPark, and my...

(begin thread hijacking) Where did you rent a Beemer? The only rentals I can ever find in USA are Harley Davidsons? (end thread hijacking)

Sounds like a really great ride, I lived in Portland OR for 6 years, that is really some beutiful country. I may have to come over next year just for that ride :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

:unsure: Ouch !! yea just thinking about a get-off hurts :blink:

Hmm, doing the metric conversions, I got almost steady 5.6 liters/100km (~ 42mpg) until I took off the Throttle body restricters imposed by France, then it jumped to 6.9 instantly. Now I average about 5.9 ( After testing the performance ) :blink: Yesterday was the first time I actually got...

A bit late, but I was looking for the same thing last spring, finally rented a V-Rod. I am going to FL in early Nov and was looking for something to rent, the closest I could find was this placxe in Key Largo clicky here Could always go down and get it!! :rolleyes: The website seems a bit...

OK make us all jealous cuz you got the hottest bike around !! :o :o :o

Last spring I was back home visiting my Family in FLA. Older Bro just got into MC and bought a Used VTX 1800 from a guy at work, so I rented a HD from Seminole Harley shop to go out with him BTW they were half the price of the other shops in Central FL). Since I been on sport bikes and Japanese...

Pretty much everywhere in Europe has regs about noise, and every so often the cops stop us and pull out the db meter. My previous bike (1200 Suzuki Bandit) had a big hollow aftermarket can that made a deep LOUD growl, but yea after 100kms it really got tiring. Had to wear earplugs. I really...

I have the Scala rider bluetooth came with the TomTom Rider GPS. Works great for that and the occasional phone call. I haven't gotten the passenger unit for just that reason !! I LIKE not hearing the passenger! :headphone: I don't need her screming "SLOW DOWN" in the middle of a curve and...

don't know the meaning of that. I have only had this bike for 3 months and haven't opened it up hard out of the box yet, just wondering what to expect from the front end. On the 1200 Suzuki Bandit first time I really nailed it I popped a wheelie and it was quite the surprise, 230kg bike came...

Got that straight, first time was unexpected and quite scary really!! On the last bike with a passenger, third gear would lift off if ya wern't careful

:blink: Oh yea, forgot about that. What if we changed out the intake pipes to the stock ones and got our 145hp back ;) (not that we would do that!!)

Hey there all you sports minded riders. I hear that "shafties can do wheelies" so my question is what gear is best. 1st gear from a dead start and nail it hard? or second gear with a rolling start? Anybody done a stoppie on the FJR?

Huh, I never dropped any bike, and almost dropped the FJR before making the final payment at the dealer's lot. The bracket on the side stand that you are supposed to use to put it down seems to want to get caught in your boot heel, and flip itself back, up. Since then I take EXTREME care each...

Don't know about you guys, but when I'm riding, I don't have time to fiddle with all the gear, my eyes are on the road, and the next turn. :yahoo:

I just bought the TomTom Rider before going on a 1200km ride through the alps to Italy, it came with a RAM mount ball that fit on the handlebar really neat, and the GPS actually snaps into the custom made holder, with hard-wired 12Volt connector. Plus there is a safety lanyard in case it does...
