    Need Tire Shop in Newport Beach, CA area

    Mornin! Hey, there is a Yammie shop about 1/4 mile up the hill from PCH (on Newport Blvd)... If you are heading south on PCH you will turn left onto Newport blvd, and it will be just up the hill on the right. I don't know their tire inventory, but they are the nearest -dealer to the beach that...

    Hello art fans!

    From a professional artist... nice work! I have seen lesser artists make actual cash money from MUCH less. You may want to start charging for your talent instead of just taking compliments (unless you get 50% of the compliment up front and the rest on delivery, but make sure the compliment is...

    B2 Crash Report with Video

    I wonder if sliders would have made a difference? Glad they got out. That has to be one hell of a question for a trained pilot to ask themselves at that moment "Am I REALLY justified in punching out or should I try to save it?!" They know the cost of the aircraft and are surely "reminded"...

    Yellow Exhaust

    Krylon makes a nifty "Chrome in a can" for about $6.99 at Walf-Marf! Used it on a school project for my kid a few years back. You would have to reapply it after every ride, though. Aaaaah, mine yellowed right up after a couple thousand miles, and frankly I like it. Has that "Forged-in-Hell"...

    What is the best tank bag for the fjr? Ideas Please

    I don't remember which one I have... something with a "1" in the name... but I like that it does fit into an empty sidecase if I decide not to carry it around with me, (even if I have the bag filled with stuff). It's magnetic and sticks to my fridge in the kitchen so I don't forget to take it in...

    Got snubbed by another biker today

    BRDRPEY, maybe it was the "loaner" while his BMW was in the shop... again... Where are you in Utah? Near SLC? Look me up if you wanna wander around sometime next week... I was gonna get cdogman to ride with but he's gone and got his knee in a tizzy. (surgery today) C

    Tires

    FJstaR, I had cdogman install mine at his house. I watched, mostly, and handed him the wrong tools and talked too much, but he managed to get them on and we were both happy. They were extremely tight fitting! Robin is no small guy and he was damned-near standing on the spoons to get this tire...

    Lets take a corner together

    Nice "Turns"! Robin, today is the big day. I am sure it will go well and you'll be itchin' to ride sooner than they recommend. I know you have all kinds of helpers and support, but my offer stands. If you (or Kenra) need something and I can be useful, just call. Thanks again for the tire...

    Aussie Police FJR'S

    Yeah, love to have those bars! And the seat conversion. I sooooo LOVE the white FJR! I like it better than the black or silver. Would be an even choice with the black cherry... Wish that were an option here without a repaint. Hello? Yammie? You listening??? Maybe after I win the lotto I'll...

    Carpal Tunnel Operation?

    Damned! Missed again! I just see so many people nowadays spewing "medical advice" because tv commercials are learnin' them the names of drugs and procedures... I have been too close to seeing someone who took "online advice" and it wasn't pretty. My background makes me leary of this "common man...

    Carpal Tunnel Operation?

    I am wondering, how many of you are physicians, and how many are psychic. Seems to be a few who miraculously diagnosed the problem and the cure for others without even donning a rubber glove and asking them to cough! Amazing! What's it cost per visit? Something to keep in mind, every body...

    Dunlop RoadSmart Tires

    Fuzzy, I don't know if you were being serious or not, but if so take note of the pic from Jeff Ashe of the "Dunlop pair" (middle of his pictures) and notice the printed lettering over the treads are opposite of each other in direction, as are the tread directions, so one of the tires is turned...

    Dunlop RoadSmart Tires

    Just ordered a set o' Dunlops about 10 minutes ago... they aren't here yet but I'll go sit by the door and wait... I'm anxious! Thanks, Jeff, and others for the feedback, as I bought these based on your input and experiences. I paid $250.90 delivered to my bike's home of record. (SW Moto), the...

    Has anyone used the TourMaster Deluxe Tailbag?

    I have the passenger backrest and I use the Kuryakun Grand Tour bag. It is very roomy (helmet + lots of gear, excellent outer pockets, and can mount either on the back seat or on the small tail rack that is part of the bike (meaning I don't have/need an aftermarket rear rack "system" to support...

    New sports car on the scene

    What an impressive vehicle (numbers and performance-wise) but with that being my very first look I have to say it was a bit disappointing, visually. Very dated from the first look. Like it is designed to look like it was festooned with aftermarket parts, and not well thought out. Sorry, I want...

    What have I got in an FJR?

    SLIDERS!!! ... That was the first thing I got for The Pee Pee Tickler...My sliders are still pretty and new, some people here have shaved 'em down like sidewalk chalk. I will learn from their lessons. Get some... And as far as the bike goes... I went ahead and started spending my Porsche-fund...
