    Broken Bike (not fjr), leads to a 2 guy 2-up ride home

    Well today was a nice enough day in Winchester Va, so a buddy of mine and I went for a ride to Romney Wv to check out a dealership. He on his SV650 and me on the FJR. The ride was nice, it was chilly but I had the heated gear on and I'm riding an '05 so I was fine. My buddy on his naked SV...

    Anyone heard from Skyway?

    Skyway you out there? I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full. I also tried your website but the form was acting up... I'm interested in the back protector on your site...PM me if you can.

    Southeast rider needs a new avatar pic.

    Once you change your avatar I'll never recognize you, well atleast until I start reading tire reviews by some new stranger...thought we discussed all of this changing of avatars stuff.

    I wish every bike was as easy to work on

    Uhhh... I wouldnt say the FJR is sooooo easy. Especially to learn on. I won't go into my story of "simply" putting in a new battery. Or removing the fairings, or switching the ole glove box out. And none of that is mechanical.

    A question about counter steering

    Just helping the thread get to 100 posts... I've read Park's book numerous times and taken the class, and I've read Code's books and have booked the class. I too haven't been able to figure out this whole counter steer thing either. Maybe at what point to and how quickly to do it...but doing...

    Sport Bike Fever: Who has a CBR1000?

    Ugh! I rode down to a Honda Dealership today...they had the new '08 sitting in the parking lot. All black, the thing looked sweet. It only weighs 20 more pounds than the 600...the saleman looks at me and asks, "Wanna give her a spin?" I thought about it and finally said, "Nope". I was...

    Headlight Upgrade

    There's a ton of info on this subject throughout this forum. I was really interested in upgrading to HID headlights but it looked like a hassle so I ended up just buying upgraded headlights at Advance Autoparts and they are wayyyyy better than stock, simple to install, has been a year and they...

    I saw a cool setup a guy did where he had a bracket put on his electronic tankbag. I cant find it now though.

    Adding Brake Fluid

    Mike, Well I was hoping this thread would die without someone asking for an update. I bought some brake fluid and set an appt to have it looked at. But when I got home from riding the other day I took off the cap again and this time i realized it has a large rubber gasket type thingy that...

    All things considered, which would you buy? 03 or an 08???

    Id definitely go with the '03...it only has 10,000 miles on it! Its more than half off...I cant see ever getting rid of my 2005 fjr for a newer one. Not saying I wont add more motorcycles but not for a new fjr, not until this one falls apart. But man that 08 is sweeet looking. The only major...

    Track Day Ready

    I dont know what to expect, I'm fine with taking it slow at first. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm doing one at Summit Point...a track about 10 mins up the road. Which is good cause I dont have a trailer, i could walk there if i wanted. Then I'm doin the Kieth Code thing in May at...

    Track Day Ready

    Its just regular, through Progressive. $1000/yr for both bikes. (fjr and gsxr) Actually I think the gixxer is closer to $600/yr.

    Track Day Ready

    I'm finally ready to have a go at the track. So this all may be for sale in a month as well. The matching outfit is pretty silly, I keep tellin' myself it's "okay" on the track. Most likely I'll be a natural and have sponsors etc., so my colors will probably change...ya know, whoever is the...

    Considering an addition to the lineup...

    Ugh that is sweeeet! Man...can't someone start a bike club!? Your choice of any bike...you just rent out the one youre in the mood for...Duc, Gixxer, CBR, Cruiser, KLR...etc. Otherwise this hobby is going to be an expensive journey.

    HAHA! What a deutsche bag. Cigarette hangin' out of his mouth...then he attempts the unthinkable, standing up. Maybe for his next amazing trick he can try to get into a pair of tighter jeans. What a ****.
