well - THERE is your problem. Have the wife spit out all the luggage and put it in the saddlebags where it belongs. Better for her and the bike will handle better too.

a good response to being stopped is: 1. When pulled over - start by reaching up and turning OFF the radar detector 2. Remove your helmet and place it OVER the radar detector 3. if need be - reset your bicycle speedo and check your max speed on gps. you might want to reset them quickly...

Actually, my burro story was in N. AZ- near some lake I used to frequent in my fishing days - between Wikieup and Wickenburg back in the hills. Was sleeping in the back of my pick up when I woke up to the most god awful (and Loud) sound right by my head. A Burro was standing next to my cooler...

just a point - and LOTS of folks will disagree with me on this - but I'm sticking with it. Having spent many a night in the iron butt motel - I recommend the following: 1. do NOT sleep on your bike. it isn't good for your butt, back or neck AND it trains you to sleep on a bike. This is NOT...

it certainly IS a double edged sword. Most every LEO I have ever been in position to ask this question has said - 1. when I ask you why I stopped you or ask how fast did I clock you - I let go the ones that don't lie. Even the ones that fudge it are probably going to get a ticket. While it...

On a side note, you may not agree with photo-red light cameras, but violations at intersections that have them drop dramatically. The same can not be said for photo radar though. I'm a daily commuter in California. The absolute scariest part of my ride every morning are red lights or traffic...

yes - you can request all the data about a ticket if you take it to court, but the police have NO obligation to show you a radar reading when you are popped. Some will - and others wont. Some local policies forbid them showing you. plus showing you a reading doesn't mean much - it could have...

don't you want to order 2 Left Grips - as the right grip on a BMW comes with the throttle tube - making the cost for the right side quite a bit higher. I had a ding bat parts guy tell me I had to order them as a pair for something like $70.

Can't have it both ways??? why in the hell not? The RM comes up with a concept for a rally, rides a zillion miles checking everything once or twice or more. Has friends ride parts to double check on details. Spends time and money organizing, planning and putting their neck on the line so...

I made a cable - went to home depot and bought about 6' of plastic coated cable and some crimp style loop fittings. Makes it easy to string through the sleeves and legs of my Darien and pants. I lock helmet to a license plate helmet lock. Never had that kind of stuff stolen off my bike. The...

I would do a couple of things. 1. I would ask if I couldn't watch the TBS - because I'm willing to bet that they will look at your settings and pronounce them "within spec" - which they will be. But, "within spec" isn't good enough. You would do a better job. - OR ask the tech if you can...

I had a russel on my last bike - love their seat. however - I will say that the seat on the fjr has grown on me. It isn't a russel, but 14 hr. days haven't been too much of a problem as it gets MUCH better after the first 3,000 miles or so. I have added a beaded seat cover and I'll be doing a...

haven't used their (Road Gear) gloves, but have used other items from them. Mansoor is a rider and he designs the stuff to be used. He makes or provides good quality gear at fair prices and has always stood behind his stuff. I don't own any roadgear stock, but I can say that I've sort of...

I had these exact same symptoms. After I had done an oil change I noticed my light coming on - only in the morning. I do ride up a hill to start the day. Within a mile or so the light would go out and remain out until the next morning. I checked the oil level - as I had filled it (on center...

compared to the connie - there is no comparison compared to the honda - I'd say that the fjr is a tad LESS vibratory compared to the V-Strom -- I don't know. compared to a GL1800 = the feejer definitely has a buzz to it compared to K1200LT - the feejer definetely has a buzz compared to a...

you didn't do MUCH research - Throttle pull can easily be resolved with either of two fixes. one is to remove one of the 3 throttle springs one is the modification someone (don't remember who) who created a sort of cam for the throttle connection. As for buzzy. While I would agree that the...

my guess is that the price will continue to rise as these become less and less available due to restrictions on shipping mercury to various states. I'd get it while I could.

i do believe that earplugs ARE against the law in California. Don't tell them though because I'm getting ready to file a class action suit on behalf of all motorcyclists who have sustained hearing damage due to being law abiding citizens and refraining from wearing illegal ear plugs. also...

not sure if warm N safe is wired parallel or series - so check for compatibility. I like widder gloves. They are more flexible than gerbings, though I confess I haven't tried gerbing in a couple of years and they might have improved. Widder pulls less power - are not so hot - but then that...

only 300 miles?? what are you doing.... washing it? break in -- search for breaking in - on the search engine - according to some accepted methodologies - you will be red-lining during the break in. as for the TBS? - the answer is that "it depends". perhaps your bike doesn't need it - but...
