    Short Ride 1/4 mile

    Sounds like fun,Mike! I always wanted to do a 1/4 mile run with the bags on and camping gear strapped to the seat just to mess with people.

    What's the big "Gen1" Deal?

    I spent a long time deciding which bike to buy; the FJR, the new ST1300, or a BMW. When the magazine tests and first-hand reports started coming out, and I saw one in person, I knew that Liquid Silver machine was the one. I was too late for the PDP program for the '03's and was looking at the...

    Bought A '14 A

    Sorry for the delay; "View New Content" apparently doesn't always work. I went to check out Ramsey when I had the '03 and didn't get a great feeling. Things could be different now. It's seems more like a lawnmower shop that sells bikes on the side. I saw Powers prices and went there before...

    2014A Error Code 16

    Thanks steve_g. I'll take a look at it. Although I'm not going to worry about it unless it happens again, If I want to take it to the dealer, it's 135 miles away.

    2014A Error Code 16

    How do you get to Diagnostic mode on a Gen III? Just took a 30 mile ride and stopped at the store near home. When I tried to start bike, the starter spun, but didn't fire. I'm so used to it, (and previous Gen I ) firing right away that I stopped and looked at the display. It showed "016". I...

    SPLIT: Off-Topic Crap

    Since it's already split to off topic; A few years ago Oregon department of transportation recommended that the speed limits be raised. Sadly, the legislature declined. I was not happy.

    Bought A '14 A

    I bought this bike March 1st, and picked it up and rode it home a week later. Between Oregon liquid sunshine and work I've only ridden it for 275 miles, but can add my initial impressions: - The sport/tour mode is very noticeable. - Bike seems very smooth (compared to ten years on an "03) -...

    When it snows... it blows

    I saw the first sign of Spring here, too: A big ole' Oregon girl wearing spandex shorts, flip-flops, and a tube top in Wal-Mart. She didn't have curlers in her hair, so technically its still winter.

    Bought A '14 A

    After totaling my '03 at the Reuben Run in La Pine in September, I took some time to let the collarbone heal and reflect on whether to keep riding or not. I never seriously thought I would hang up my helmet, but the logical side of my brain wanted to discuss whether I should. I don't bounce as...

    Seattle Area Dealers

    Thanks for the info. I've been seeing some good deals up there. I'm shopping for a 2010-2012 model; Looks like 2012's are the only leftovers in that category. Unfortunately, I talked to Cassandra at Skagit, and she only had a 2013. Thanks for the lead, Ray!

    Found A Replacement FJR

    Been looking for a replacement for my dearly departed '03. My patient and diligent search has paid off: I hope I can get Surly or Thug to check it out for me. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-view-details.html?adId=1033424923

    Once again, Tyler reminds me why I ride. Thank You, Tyler. Sorry I ducked out early on the Reuben, Rueben, Sandwich Run and missed you. You take beautiful pictures, and write beautiful pictures. P.S. Robert; Thanks for taking care of the FJR forum's favorite lady.

    Stuff, and Stuff, Stuff I want to Do - How About You?

    I'd donate to see a Mad Australian take on the Carverman at high noon on the Honderosa. He might even have enough room in his luggage to bring Barry a virgin Aussie sheep.
