    Wife drops bike on ride

    I'm seriously waiting on the Honda DN01 (it's the concept bike that has a thread around here somewhere... it's beautiful, and automatic... my wife gets one of those from me when they hit the showroom floor. (OK, maybe it's kinda for me too... but she has to think it's hers) C

    Quick Newbie Question

    34" inseam, 6' tall... '07 (best color, girls swoon when I ride by) No reason for me to change anything... I love the stock seat, and usually have the screen in a low-ish position anyway ( but might get a taller one just to try it). You might plan two hour trips, but just be aware of what is an...

    ECU Replacement Turnaround Time By Dealer?

    Yammie contacted them to contact me because THEY (Yammie) determined that my bike fell within the numbers that required replacement.... the dealer just did the swapout that they were told needed doing. How are they gonna check/test the part... ride to Pikes Peak and see if it surges? You can't...

    O the Shame! O the Humiliation!

    Don't feel bad JB, maybe she was in a hurry to get to her lamaz class... C

    Nitrous

    I would wrap the bottles in a big Viagra wrapper! This thing is seriously wood-inducing! (maybe Red Bull would sponsor you if you wrapped them in their can-cover? C

    Blurry Images in Mirrors

    There was just a thread on this last week... but I'd never read it before and it DID help me with the same problem (on my 07)... The actual mirror portion seems to vibrate to the point of non-use for any real identification of what's behind you, the frame/housing it is mounted in is not (as)...

    When your child goes to war...

    How about an address for this young man? In the past my wife and I have sent upwards of 80 packages to our troops overseas, but as time went on they seemed to slow down, and for this I feel ashamed. Their work and sacrifice have never diminished, and if it's all the same to you I'd like my next...

    Rats, My 06 went over.........

    Got me!! Ya prick! hahaha Seriously, where did you get that model, I'd love to have one (maybe I'll paint it in black cherry and put it on my dash to remind me where I'd rather be!) C

    ECU Replacement Turnaround Time By Dealer?

    Dropped it off on a Thursday night, Friday after work I picked it up... They pre-ordered the part, called me when it came in... You might want to find a dealer about an hour or more away (in a direction that is scenic) and explain the situation. Have them order it, you take a nice ride, they...

    FJR or ST

    OH FOR CRIPES SAKE!! Just go buy the damned bike, already!! Three pages of us massaging you is getting old! We need you, Officer, to march into that dealership and drop your very hard earned cash on a Feejer (he he, then when you see one of us tipping the speed scales you will only shake your...

    Frame slider torque

    Uuuuuuh, waitaminit, fellas. there was recently a whole grundle of post referrring to this question... and I kept reading that 35 was too much, and that 29 was sufficient. Even a week later when I received my Skyway sliders (thanks, Ian, they are awesome!) the mounting instructions, all 3x5 card...

    Is the FJR the culmination of your dreams in a motorcycle?

    I (we) love this bike. She has only the knowledge she has picked up from being my passenger, but that introduction spoiled her... could I think of taking her for a ride of any length on a sportbike? No, no, no...silly question. I have had a few bikes over the years (before we were married) and...

    Gas Erupts from Tank

    Holy crap! Just the visual I get from that is scary! Gas-geysers... not how I want to end a bike ride. Thanks bounce... my bike is new, but that will always be a "must check" for me now. C

    "stick-on" equalizer

    Thanks, KM, for the input, much of it valid. I have much more of an affinity for my life than my bike and if there arose an incident where I did need "assistance" (the knife) the last thing I am worried about is the bike.. it can be replaced.. or not, but my life is a onetime thing. getting...

    "stick-on" equalizer

    Wow, great responses, all of you (especially the lighter fluid comment! haha). Thanks for the input. Some of you have also mentioned what I feel is important to me/my passenger safety, and that is the upclose situation. From ten feet away a ****** with a gun can do what he likes and it would be...

    "stick-on" equalizer

    Good question, and the first one I asked myself. You are correct in your answer... if that is the downside in a slide, well, you hopefully have pulled your leg away just as a reaction to the slide... and this is the last of your current worries. It is secured in it's sheath fairly well (clips...
