Congratulations Geezer. I will go read you trip report. Now I am just playing Post HO! in order to rid of the FNG status. :P Ride Safe. Marc

I am using Coyote as a good old friend of mine is a sales person there. They also gave me a fair ??? Trade in on my Buell which will save me some on taxes. I did check around before ordering it and found several on show room floors but instead of paying the "Gold Plated" prices they were asking...

NO! :cry: I hope it will be in this week. Yamaha stated it "Is on the truck for delivery" when the dealer called them last Tuesday 07/05/05. Maybe the truck got stuck trying to drive across the Ocean. :rolleyes: I am not even sure where it is coming from. So again hopefully this week...

Thanks for the information. I had seen the stem stands and that is what made me think I could just go ahead and mount the RAM ball to the existing nut instead of replacing it with the Stem Stand nut. When I take it off I will make sure there is room before drilling out the stock nut. BTW I own a...

I am about to get (yes it is on the truck) my 05 FJR1300 and have a questions on a mount for GPS etc. I use RAM mounts on my other bikes and was thinking that it would work out putting a RAM mount ball on the Steering head nut. What I would do is take the nut off, Drill a 1/4 hole in the middle...

Finally something to brighten up the day. Thanks :clap: Marc

I am not trying to be critical here but just to offer a word of advise from an old wrench. Never use a torque wrench to remove a bolt. Only use one when tightening. I have seen this done several times and it usually ruins the calibration of the torque wrench. I would seriously recommend having...

I guess I will try and explain the cruiser thing. I love riding the Ducati, Amazing torque, raw power and it handles like it is on rails. One must pay close attention to the bike and it begs to be ridden hard. This is a lot of fun. No sight seeing here. I love riding the BMW. It's ugly, it...

I was lomaxcm on the other board and I are the same on this one. Why? Because it is my name an initials ;) Ride safe. Marc

There may be hope on receiving a FJR yet this year. :D I just got a call from the dealer and mine is on the truck en-route to Denver. PDP Date was May 3, 2005 on a non ABS. There may be hope I will be riding it this month after all. Cheers. Marc

Congratulation Warchild. What a beautiful scooter. The only problem with them is that they invoke another disease and that is not what you need right now with your previous addictions. The disease is named "Oh my God did my right wrist just do all that" :huh: Cheers. Marc Still waiting for...

Wow are the service costs really that expensive on the FJR? :huh: Why can't they be real cheap like on my BMW or Ducati? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Just messing with Y'all. Do your own maintenance if you can. My FJR is still scheduled for a June delivery. I guess they forgot...

OK I will start one as we Rocky Mt. peoples seem to be lagging behind. I am still scheduled for a Jun Delivery on my FJR. I assume it will be here sometime the middle of July but who knows. When I get it I am going to put about 50 miles on it. Change the oil and add the farkles. I will then be...

+1 for State Farm. They go by cc displacement only and do not type the bikes. I pay $350 per year on my 1450cc bike and thus the FJR should be less than that. This is for 100k/300k/50k full coverage $500 deductible. I like them the best also because my military vehicles are only around $70 for...

photobucket looks like it does work. They say nothing offensive :lol: and in today's world who knows what is offensive to whom? I will leave the good picture in the link. B) My FJR is scheduled for a June 2005 delivery so I hope it hurries up. :angry: Ride Safe. Marc

Well I did not go away but the picture did. I guess Webshots is not a good place to host pictures from. BTW I am not an admin and will congratulate XJRGUY on his proper use of flaming and third grade name calling. :( The paramedics did not have to work too long as my heart was beating just...

I am going to try and get a few thing out of the way here. First I would like to make my first post to the new board. Thank you so much for creating it. Second I want to try out my avatar. Sorry it is not the FJR but it should be here any day. I HOPE! And third, as I have sinned by not posting...
