    The Hog Phenomenon

    Better not let the herd hear you say that. A sportster is a girl's bike. A Vrod is for *******. Rice burners suck. 1st there was the flathead. then the knucklehead then the panhead then the shovelhead now they are making water cooled engines.... ....the shower head!! That is all.

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    I think it's safe to say that GENERALLY, lots of poser in the HOG world. Not your friend, but in my opinion, he is in a minority. Short example of a typical HOG thing down here in the south...couple of years ago, was headed to Galveston Texas for the Lonestar Rally from my home in Louisiana...

    Oil

    I change my oil after every ride. None of my bikes have ever seized up. This is proof that my method works. That is all.

    The Other Shoe Has Dropped

    Not sure what maintenance you are referring to, but just to let you know, I had 3 different FJRs (all 3 Gens), got rid of them from 75K to 88K miles, and never had a problem with swing arm, never did any maintenance. 22K miles on the '12 model is just broken in well.

    2013 FJR for sale

    might be a while at that asking price...he may want to consider another $1500 to the down side.

    Something for airplane geeks

    Wow, kudos to you for taking that major financial plunge in pursuit of your dream! I was a 25% owner in a Cessna 172 for about 5 years, and then we traded for a Cessna 177 Cardinal, which we kept for another 6 years before I finally pulled out of the LLC due to rising maintenance and running...

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    My dad taught me many years ago to NEVER buy a motorcycle from a clothing boutique. That is all.

    I bought 2 FJRs from Gonzales...an '08 and a '13...the '13 was in the crate. They make pretty decent deals, and that one sounds pretty good.

    My quest to replace the Quest.

    Most of the noise experienced in a full face helmet comes from the underside of the helmet, around your neck, than from the seal on the face shield.

    My quest to replace the Quest.

    My Neotech 1 is about like the Qwest as far as noise goes, but the GT-Air is quieter. The Neotec is a slightly larger helmet in size LG, so it feels heavier to me.

    My quest to replace the Quest.

    I also have a Neotec...last summer, on a Colorado road trip, I traded with my buddy his neotec 2 for a few miles....basically same helmet, but the 2 has the port for the Sena communicator. I use the old Sena 10 smh on my Neotec 1, which hangs on the outside of the helmet. I couldn't notice a...

    My quest to replace the Quest.

    I've got a GT-Air that is similar to the Quest, but quieter and updated. You're more than welcome to try it. Size LG.

    My Motorcycle Accident

    I think you were extremely lucky the dealership paid a dime. Would be hard to prove you didn't drop the puck there yourself, and would have a hard time explaining to a judge/court how you didn't notice that puck wasn't in it's proper place on the tank before you even took off. Pre flight...

    Riding motorcycle with child

    Correct observation about the obsessive "safety" thought processes in this country. If my parents were that obsessed when I was a child, I would never had become a PADI certified scuba diver, or a licensed private pilot, or a licensed sky diver, and definitely would never have logged over a...
