    fuze block FZ1 ?

    I have one too. Under the seat....no problems. I liked the design of being able to change from powered to switched (although I have never changed anything). I also liked the the easy install.

    Going to San Diego, any ideas on what to do?

    Some other suggestions. Sea World SD Zoo (one of the worlds best). They have Pandas SD Wild Animal Park (an extention of the zoo) Hotel Coronado (great place to have lunch on the deck overlooking the Pacific) Sightseeing cruise of the harbour.

    Russell Sport vs Russell Day Long Seat

    I also prefer the sporting side to the FJR. My previous bike was a Ducati 999. When I bought the Russell, I invested in another stock seat from Gary McCoy, as I wanted the benefits of both. However, I now find that more often than not, I just leave the Russell on and don't swap the seats...

    HELP..fighting a speeding ticket in VT.

    So you saved yourself $18 in the reduced ticket but it cost you $20 for the driving record. When you factor in the time off work and the time getting to the court house, it doesn't really add up. I guess there was always the chance that the trooper wouldn't turn up. Better luck next time...

    SOCAL FJR Riders

    Like others have said family gets the first priority. I have 3 children and at this stage in life, they come first. They usually have sport on Saturdays and I enjoy watching. I am sure that in years to come, I will have more time to do other things. LAroo

    Autocom fidelity

    I also have been disappointed with my Autocom Super Pro Avi purchase. The clarity of sound from the the Autocom supplied speakers has always been poor. I have never been able to hear my riding partner very clearly. I phoned Autocom but found them very unhelpful. I have been meaning to...

    hornet deer horn

    They have a version of these in Australia that are used to 'protect' against kangaroos. "ShuRoo creates a high frequency "Safety Sound Zone" 400 metres ahead and 50 metres either side of your vehicle which alerts kangaroos and other wildlife of your approaching vehicle—day, night, rain or...

    FJR's on the Parade Lap at the US Moto GP Laguna Seca

    No. Just a keen amateur. It is something I have always enjoyed and I find it a great hobby. Here are a couple of more photos. It seems that no one is very interested in photos of FJR's. Oh well never mind. Here are a couple of others from the GP and some more umbrella girls.

    FJR's on the Parade Lap at the US Moto GP Laguna Seca

    Here are some photos of FJR's on the parade lap at this year's US Moto GP at Laguna Seca. I didn't see as many FJR's this year but maybe some were hiding behind other bikes. PM me if you see yourself and I will send you the file. Because of the numbers it seemed that they had to do 3 seperate...

    Going Down (Under)

    From the photos of Sydney harbour, Dan must live in Mosman (or possibly Cremorne). As an Aussie who has now lived in the US for 4 years, your terrific photos bring back some great memories. Thanks for sharing. LAroo. (LA Kangaroo)

    heat fix kits

    Yes I used that heat shield kit on my 2005. The heat wasn't a major problem for me but the speedzone kit certainly improved things. I now never notice the heat. However I do wear ATGATT which also reduces the effect of a 1300cc engine sitting beneath my legs.

    Recommendations for local shops that repair / paint FJR tupperware?

    Thats how I bought my 2005. It had only 2000 miles on it and had fallen over. The previous owner had done more damage trying to get it up but it was obvious that it was not a major accident. I used this as a negotiating point and simply deducted the price of a new faring from my offer, which...

    Photo speed radar coming to California?

    Most states in Australia have had speed cameras at least since the early 1990's. The ones that took my picture were always from behind, so motorcycles were caught. The fixed ones were normally installed at accident spots and you generally had plenty of warning (signs) that they were ahead...

    Angeles Crest Highway getting closer to reopening.

    There was an interesting article on the Caltrans website this morning. It looks like Caltrans is getting closer to re-opening Angeles Crest Highway (State Route 2) which has been closed since 2005. https://www.dot.ca.gov/dist07/Publications/...tory.php?id=302 I have a vested interest as I...
