    FJR gone... new Versys here...

    IMO the BMW has very poor off pavement manners. WTF puts a 19 in wheel on a dirt bike? IJUTS. Have seen some people do some amazing things on the "pigs" but not for me. Take my KTM 690 any day over the 1200 GS's Back to our regulary scheduled programming

    I have teenagers

    Yeah, this will come back to bite mine. When I go to their place, all lights on, running water, lots of wastefullness and so on. Payback is a b!tch. And what will be even funnier is when they breed and their spawn do it and yours complains to you about it. Oh the cycle of life.

    Heated Grips or Heated gloves

    Installed the factory heated grips. I like them enough as I also have the vstrom handguards as well. What I don't like about the heated grips is when the throttle tube expands twisting the throttle becomes a little more of an effort and holding it does too. Have throttle locks and use them...

    From cruiser to sport tourer

    Feej is an awesome bike and you won't regret the swap one bit, she's got beauty, poise, power, speed and, handling, very very nice. I didn't come over from a cruiser, crotch rocket. Eventually sold it because it sat in the garage, the FJR gave me everything the crotch rocket did with all day...

    Weird "E Speeding Ticket" from NY State

    Scam... How on earth would a PD get your email? PD there might or might not aware, would call them, maybe a lawyer first. A PO BOX for a PD? That right there would make me double suspicious.

    KTM in my future?

    Had one for two yrs, no problems. Don't ride it that hard either, not like it is meant to be. I like the punch it delivers. Walks all over the Mrs's GS650. Had one of those BMW pigs, got rid of it and got this, those big BMW's suck off road IMO. Seen some people do some wild stuff on the...

    13 AUG an 07 Sighted in Palmdale Ca, by Mall

    Spotted and 07 down by the mall yesterday. T-shirt and jeans. Believe you were partaking in the poker run. Thought it interesting your cruiser buddy had more PPE on than you. Must of been running with those harley boyz that influenced that behavior. ATGATT, better to sweat than to BLEED.

    Observing Harley Country

    Man you lucky guy. The Cruisers on my street don't EVEN ask me to ride along. Then again, I don't ask them either. Not going to wait for them, and definitely don't want to listen to the noise. Were any observations made of how many were partaking in libations, then twisting the trottle? Bet...

    FJR and killa tat on the DRAGON

    Just as much as a guy around here I see every once in awhile driving a silver Feej. As they say, "STUPID HURTS".

    Sightings

    And no one wasn't us in the back of tanker truck.... :P First sighting was Sunday the 12th and was on the Bodfish Caliente Road, we were on the 08 going up hill, you were on a blue FJR, headed down with something green (Kawi) behind you. Second sighting was another blue FJR on the 178 headed...

    Fastener question for engineering minds

    Original orientation of the bolt/nut is most likely an assembly factor than anything else. Much like on your car when you try to work on the motor these days.

    KTM; advice on buying

    For transferring the bike I'd just straight up call your local DMV. As for the KTM, you will probably experience the same as I do with my 690R and what as already been noted in another post on this thread, tires. Just can't seem to keep this think shoe'd past 1000 mile marker without replacing...

    First Ride

    Your real experience will be in the twisties, these things don't turn like the square tire harley's, more like a sport bike where you run into the turn and late apex. My stalled the same as yours for a bit, then all of the sudden for no reason stopped stalling. Don't remember the mileage as to...

    Pulled over by CSI

    Think he just wanted a look at the bike. Come on, the FJR is one sleek, sexy machine and due to lack of badging (which I happen to like), he just wanted to check out your ride. FJR appreciator. Calibrated SPEEDO. RIGHT, what was your standard buddy, got a cert date? What is the periodic...

    Spotted 2008 or 9 going N 405

    We were headed South on the 405, past you what would of been just before the 118 interchange. Nice shirt and shorts... :angry2:
