    Riding on shoulder

    This is a worthy consideration not to be casually dismissed. Still... We all endure that wonderful opportunity to learn patience, those "snail races" ahead of us as one trucker overtakes another on a two lane roadway. But on rare occasion they don't just overtake in the passing lane, rather they...

    RR4 Spotwalla Location Page

    I'm on. Sean and I will be heading up from the Bay Area tomorrow. Should be up in time for supper.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Gave the bike its second bath since new. That "Liquid Graphite" color hides a heck of a lot of dirt!

    GT-Air and Sena 10u

    But there's some flexibility in the GT-Air, too. For example, you can order replacement cheek pads in different thicknesses.

    Cheap chinese gps

    The manual from their website was incredible! It went into minute detail through all of the "setup" screens, and yet published not a single word of information about navigation maps or software. Nada about the actual function of the device. Perhaps there is some secret supplemental manual?

    The single girl

    "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, Never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view, Get an ugly girl to marry you!"

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Continent sized maps are 1-2 Gbytes these days. Downloading them may take a little while depending on your internet connection speed and the speed of the vendor's servers at the other end of the internet connection. But the long pole in the tent is that, although your GPS can read from its...

    Yeah, but look how clean the bikes look!

    So what color are you going to paint the walls?

    Genlll Wiondscreen Bracket Covers

    I bought the OEM Touring windshield at the time I bought my bike last year. Go to install the new wind shield only to discover that some assembler had moose'd the right windshield cover piece down too tight, and the attachment tang that holds its screw had broken in half. When I first removed...

    2014 Red Yamaha FJR-1300 - East Coast

    Very sorry to hear of the seller's medical issues forcing him to change his lifestyle. Appears to be a great deal for some non-Californian. Just add the crash protection of your choice. And get some bugs on those saddle bags...

    Who tows a trailer with an FJR ?

    ...or attempts to resume his normal "lane positioning" strategies. ...or attempts to split lanes.

    FJR Comfort vs. FZ6

    My FJR is equipped similarly to Warpdrv's, but I have a Russell seat. We share about the same height and inseam length, but I'm a decade older. On a 2 week cross country trip earlier the summer, I comfortably averaged 675 miles a day on the days I was traveling. Max 816 miles, min 464 miles...

    A "Hooter" of a Question

    At one Hooters in Fort Lauderdale, the young hostess didn't fit the "Huge, Firm ****" description at all. My theory is that she may have just been a trainee...

    Advice for cold weather

    These are a good solution, even without heated gloves IMHO. But you must also install rigid hand guards as well (vstrom hand guards, etc). Otherwise the wind pressure can force the brake handle back enough to engage the brake lights. The guards will also give the hippo hands a better shape. ymmv

    rough at idle and constant throttle

    Or changing out your car battery in the dark, not realizing that the new battery your buddy just purchased for you has black protective plastic caps over the lugs.

    Who tows a trailer with an FJR ?

    Yep. And hence the discipline required of towing. The effect of the trailer while riding along at a steady pace can be so slight that it feels as if nothing is there. Until the unmindful rider has to make a braking or swerving or slow speed maneuver...

    Smartire TPMS system for sale new.

    I'm surprised that you have one left. They are, IMHO, the best product of this kind around. Bendix ultimately did a huge disservice by withdrawing from the auto/motorcycling markets.
