Thanks, injuries were minimal. Think I re-fractured my big toe (a tape wrap is all it needs) and I've been putting second skin burn bandages on my shin for the last week but the skin is pretty much all back and pink again :) Otherwise just scrapes and bruises, pretty good overall. It could...

Haha I'm not sure.. I'm 21, but I don't know if they are even going to count this as my fault. I was pushed over against the shoulder by another car in a hard 120 degree turn, plus I didnt hit anyone else, property damage, or injuries... so I don't know what's going to happen. I really just...

So this one is pretty simple.. I was getting onto a freeway onramp and a car decided to lane share with me before the lanes split from 1 to 2, well I got pushed over to the side in a sharp turn, hit some sand, and went flying over the median. The bike didn't LOOK badly damaged but everything...

I havent done a FULL tank burn (as in down to almost nothing?) the lowest Ive got is 1 gallon remaining. But every time I run it down till the F-trip has about 20 miles on it and I usually fill with about 4.5 gallons.

Well the reason I ask is because my bike is generally a little funny. I looked through the NEPRT FAQ and there are a few quirks about mine I noticed. For instance, I get the "F trip" and blinking bar with 2 gallons left. That seems a little excessive for a reserve doesnt it? Also when I get to...

Hmm... but see I keep my rpms 4k or below about 80% of the time. That's why this confuses me. Yes, I like to make fast starts and pass umm "spiritedly" haha but most of the time I would be in 'touring mode' There is some traffic since I commute, but that shouldn't be too bad. Not 36 mpg I...

So for about my first 600 miles on the bike I had an average mpg of around 45-46. Since then my mileage seems to have dropped heavily. Now perhaps it is because I am not babying the bike anymore since it is well out of break-in period... but even so, now I am getting about 36 mpg average. Is...

You know, on the subject of windshields... Ive discovered that when you ride this bike in the position your body is meant to be in... the stock windshield is more than adaquate for me, at 6'2. Its only when you are sitting upright or back that you would need additional height, but then, that's...

Hah. Ive had a laptop on my lap while driving, however I've never actively typed anything.. I pull up mapquest and use it for directions :)

I have a clean license and 2 cars with geico as well, but you have 4 years and a house on me :)

Progressive quoted me at 2800. Geico quotes me at 1000 since I have an auto policy with them.. and they are generally lower anyway :)

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...141&hl=2008 there's the changes I picked up the bike today... oh my lord I love this bike. The thing has become an extra appendage on my body. Moving from a '93 CBR F2 to this is like jumping from living in a tent to a million dollar home. I...

OK this topic can be closed I guess, I just ordered from OES Accessories, I like the fact that they let you choose the angle of your cut :)

Looking at these sliders, nice and affordable, and effective im sure. https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FJR-1300-Fr...sspagenameZWD1V The store says they don't know if they fit 08's or not, does anyone else know? Are all Gen IIs created equal in this regard?

Well.. first thing I need to do is find out how to contact D&H. When I was reading through topics earlier I was finding info left and right now I can't seem to find a reference to them. What I specifically need to know is what is the process for buying a warranty through them? My...

Oh god lol.. thats horrible I had something similar happen to my new truck. Ill baby the bike.. when it's not moving :yahoo:

Don't mean to hijjack, but where do you put your radar detector? Im thinking about taking mine out of the cage and putting it on the bike.. Love the bike, the 08 black rocks!

I didn't have to order, they had 1 left on the floor (that I bought) sold the other earlier in the day, and a third the day before. The dealer I went to before that one said they sold both of their 08's as soon as they got in (at full price too). There are a few other dealers who were...

I gave in.. I was gonna save some cash and go with a new 07, but those 08s in black are so sexy I just couldn't resist. Was hoping to get it for a little less, but around here they are selling like nobody's business, and dealers can't keep em on the floor. $14700 OTD, I was aiming for 13.5...

You should all consider yourselves lucky. Insurance hates me and I have been nothing but good. My first car (bought and insured by me) was a corvette @ $5500 a year. I drive an 06 dakota now and they charge $3500 a year for that. I have a '93 CBR600F2 that I refuse to insure because they...
