    FJR aesthetics

    Nice story, solo. I had the same kid-in-awe experience with my 1975 Honda XR75. I kept it in my room! Drew pictures of it and knew every nuance and visible part. You think you like that feej in your garage, just imagine how you would feel if you had an 07,... (the faster color)... like mine...

    TIRE PRESSURE... best gauge?

    Who is using what in the way of gauges for tire pressure? I have been using a digital (monkeygrip) and two traditional pencil-type, as well as a round dial version... NEVER had the same reading with more than two of them, and never the same two. Yes, I know how to apply the gauge to the stem...

    Thinking about a KLR 650...

    Oh, I'll be there to check out the 09s before I do anything... I like the Mexico pics! I'll have my own to post at some point (maybe not Mex, but somewhere) Thanks C

    Thinking about a KLR 650...

    Beemerdons, have you already sold that old '06? Ummmm, might I be interested?? Pics or PM?... The color wouldn't matter as I am an airbrush artist and would be having at it with the KLR surfaces, even a new one. (If I could afford all new plastic for the Feej I would so paint that up...

    Thinking about a KLR 650...

    Beemerdons, That was just the right thing to say. If the New ones have this "opec problem" then I would have no problem with a one or two/three year old bike. (If I want to polish and caress and gently hump a bike I'll lavish that on the Feej) My reason for wanting newer is mostly to start with...

    Thinking about a KLR 650...

    Guys, I can't thank you all enough for the responses. I have read and reread them, and with the pros and cons as delivered by OWNERS and RIDERS I feel more equipped to start pursuing it farther... and I will. Yes I want reliability over top speed, I'll take a little top heavy over carrying gas...

    Thinking about a KLR 650...

    Well, I said it in the title... looking at dual-sport bikes. I used to ride MX looong time ago, miss it, but don't need the physical abuse, so I am thinking about at least riding trail. I run trails, I hike trails, and I love being away. Speed isn't so much the issue here, but power and...

    Any Damage Being Done??

    What kind of employer doesn't have covered/air conditioned/heated parking for their FJR driving employees??!! I'd make an immediate request for such, and threaten to quit if it isn't there by the next morning! Actually, if it's melting the glue off the stickers I can't imagine it's doing any...

    A different view

    hmmmm... sounds like v65 is upset at being in the minority... (?) heh heh Big question is, how many of these 100 are Feej drivers? C

    Burning smell

    It could be the rubber sole on your flip flops is contacting the pipe! Maybe try a leather-soled sandal... or a low pump with a heel strap...heh heh I notice the smell on occasion, after longer rides, or maybe just notice it as I check things out after long rides... after short rides I...

    just wondering

    See a Doc, sonic, soon... fatigue can manifest in a variety of ways, one of which is to present with flu-like symptoms, but can follow that with some serious problems. I don't know your health/medical history, (and don't care to) but I'm willing to bet that even if it is an actual "bug" or...

    Need Artist/Photoshop Guru to Make Official NAFO Affinity Logo

    Iggy, if I had more time I might be able to accommodate... Is the deadline set in stone? C

    Do I look like a Cop ?

    No One... did you by chance accidently hit your Hazard lights switch? The one wired to your hyperlites?! C

    Strange wind noise

    The flapping noise is not the chin strap (in my case at least), it's secure, but sounds more like it's somewhere in front of my left knee. The "tinfoil" noise I hear is def coming from between the tank and the shield. Wells, have you any idea where the noise is coming from (general local)? C

    Spy photos of NAFO Tee Shirt design

    Well, Bounce and Sonic both have the right idea. I personally know the artist and his or her reasons for not doing a black bike are as follows: 1) the artist has an 07 and thinks it is the sharpest looking of the bunch, followed by that bluey colored one... then that green european color, then...
