The storage would be free. And I know how to prepare it for storage. The payments are insignificant, really. But after spending a little time back on the forum, you folks have motivated me to keep it. Thanks for that!

It would be in storage with my household goods for a year while I'm on a CVN (I'm a reactor operator). I realize there are some nice places to ride in the Norfolk area but you have to go some distance, and deal with the area traffic. I think I'll take the majority advice and sell it.

I have a 2009 with about 3000 miles (which I obviously don't ride enough already). I'm in western TN and going back to sea duty where I won't be able to ride at all for a year. After that, I'll be in the Norfolk area where there's even less to see on a motorcycle then there is here in Memphis...

The design may be a bit stale from age, but damn she sure is pretty anyways.

I'm just relieved that this thread isn't about riding in a speedo.

drrpm06, I now know what you mean in your initial post. The FJR is my first bike that's even halfway related to a sport bike, so it felt fast and nimble to me (compared to my old Harley), but yesterday my local dealer saw me roll into his lot and immediately insisted that I take a test ride on...

Wow! The large is on sale for $42.49, including a mounting plate. Hard to beat that deal, even if you have to do some engineering to make it work.

I have the SPOT 2. It works great. The only "advantage" over the SPOT 1 as far as I know, is the smaller size. The SPOT 2 uses 'AAA' batteries and is rated for a shorter battery life than the SPOT 1, which uses 'AA's. Battery life in both cases is more than adequate, especially if you don't...

Hey Dave. Nice job, man! I wonder if that's the same material as the decals that Realtime Industries sells? You've probably seen them on some of the bikes pictured in the forum. They are cut to fit the bags and you can get them with the tuning fork and/or FJR logo screened onto them. I...

Cool! Fellow Mainer here (currently stationed in Tennessee). You must be in "the county" if you still have snow. My folks are in Auburn. They haven't seen snow in a while. I have the same bike as you. Don't go insane trying to decide what farkles, man. The bike is perfectly fine in a...

Mine sits on the clutch reservoir, within 12" of my garmin and my Passport radar detector with a built-in GPS. It doesn't seem to suffer from or cause interference with either one, but I'm considering a different mounting configuration. Maybe putting it on the tail of the bike, somehow. That...

Lovely machine...and she's barely broke-in!

Real justice would have been if you were driving a big semi, hauling steel i-beams and had no room to get out of his way. Hehe. Just kidding. Glad you were able to avoid him. I'm jealous, man. I think it was warmer there today than it was here in Memphis. We had a cold rain all day, in the...

I paid 12,500 for my 09 a month ago. And there's another identical one still on the showroom floor. I was under the impression that price was "recommended" to my dealer by the factory. I think he consigns his inventory much like a car dealer. My dealer (Yamaha of Millington) also doesn't...

Beautiful pieces of hardware on a beautiful machine. I hope you get back to full health and riding again soon!

We need a supplier for 15W 45. <_<

Thanks! And no, I haven't been to Harrison, AR but thanks for the tip! I'm tentatively planning to go to SFO in May. Its going to be in Eureka Springs, AR. Should be some awesome rides in that area. And you're right about Memphis. Its kind of flat and boring. All the more reason to start...

First of all, I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I'm new here and I don't want to offend any of the administrators. I bought my 09 a couple weeks ago and finally took a little trip to Little Rock on it. Here are my impressions/observations. Let me start by saying I've been riding...
