I was able to spread out my expenditures over a longer length of time, and I already had a jacket, helmet, and torque wrench. You're probably pretty local to me, send me a PM & we'll plan a ride down route 9 some weekend. Oh, BTW, the bike doesn't feel broken in until after 7-8 thou at least...

Yup, when you hold that little piece of plastic in your hand it kinda helps you forget those long hours... Kinda... Congrats !

Hi Ari, I'm real happy with my iAudio X5. 20GB, handles FLAC & OGG quality 10 which I prefer when I rip from my CDs. MP3 & winblows too... Bought mine in '05 for a cross country trip, had 90 CDs loaded w/OGG quality 8, didn't get to restart the play list before the trip was over. When new...

There have been loads of comparo threads here, my story is: Rode the 1200RT. Liked fit & finish, disliked engine 'feel', servo brakes would've killed me. Would've been 5k more than what I spent on the FJR at that time ('05). There are ever fewer BMW dealers now than in '05, & they were pretty...

Here's my .02 I used to own a Royal Star Boulevard, heavy *** cruiser type of bike, all of 75hp. Nice bike for around town, lotsa chrome to impress those so inclined. Problem was, even with an aftermarket seat I had all my weight (220) on my tailbone, so I could only go a tankfull (120-140...

My sincere thanks to the folks up North who sucked that nasty mess up into their own backyard. Here, we just got rain.

I am not a stockbroker/trader/employee of any financial firm. 1) You give the money to a broker & they will setup an account for you. Some brokers charge high fees and percentages when you buy/sell stocks (but supposedly offer more services) while other brokers charge much less in fees (but...

I learned the same lesson again this year, maybe this time I'll remember it... If it looks like an unmarked car, slow down to his speed & check for the uniform...

>>A great loop in the northern Front Range is up the Poudre Canyon (Hwy 14), over Cameron Pass, to Walden. There are a couple of good places for lunch in Walden. Then head south on 125 over Willow Creek pass, turn north on 34 and take Trail Ridge road through Rocky Mt NP. Gunny for this...

I sure don't agree with that pass, but I sure can understand it... Whilst riding up route 1 north of San Fran, most cagers seemed to be doing 15-25 in the curvey sections, and darn slow to speed up when the road straightened out. Gave the phrase 'Sunday Drive' a whole new meaning. People were...

Thanks for the pics & the reminder that I should always have something to look forward to, even when I can't ride the bike..

Too funny ! Good clip. Thanks!

Loud volume != sound quality Lots of boomy bass != sound quality ( != means not equal to)

Genesee Cream Ale - Hmmmm - Just thinking about those Genesee overdoses in prior years makes my stomach go 'urrrrpp!' Thanks TWN ! Now to see if I get get my bimmer riding buddy to schedule his vacation time... Note: anyone making ride routes best not forget the Poudre Canyon road, Route 14...

Better book your 600 mile service when you pick up the bike... Congrats ! !

I was riding a non-harley cruiser when I traded it in for my FJR. Took a few weeks to fully acclimate to the riding position change, did a few farkles, then I did a 1k day mostly because I wanted the license plate. 300 mile rides now qualify as a ride to eat or an afternoon out. The FJR runs...

Nice report, good pix, makes me want to travel back up to Thunder Bay again.

Boy oh boy am I glad the CC is at zero... Rebuilds booked, wooo hooo !

Hi Angus. Haven't seen a Zune mount or a iPod mount. Probably a good thing too, because if the player has a hard drive then the extra vibration that would be transmitted through the mount would drastically shorten the life of the hard drive. The iAudio X5 I use (20 GB player) stays in the inside...

Nice ride report, good pix too. Thanks !
