    New Seat Maker In Town:

    +1 mil this time. Why!? Some of the crowd here is taking this seriously. This PM guy is just out of KG and without diapers! Hmmm. Isn't how Armani started this way? Nah, that was someone else. A guy from Armenia ... yes that's it. PM - write something AFTER you have a sample. Hopefully, we...

    Do folks that bought an 06 to replace their 04 or 05 like them better?

    +1. Why is everyone so concerned about nits? It DOESN'T matter when you are riding. If you are getting old and can't handle it, get off my way! Enjoy the ride dudes.

    Thinking About Buying A FJR

    You MUST test ride them all (your select list) and then decide. You WILL know what you want and can afford. Don't ask the pundits! There is no such thing as "if you like it, I might like it too" - that's dumb talk. ps: I made a mistake recently.

    Thinking About Buying A FJR

    The FZ1 or the FZ6 are better handlers around twisties. Let's not compare apples and oranges. FJR has the comfort factor. Sport is of course part of it's equation. I just bought a FJR. If you are a young pup wanting only thrills, go for the FZ1 and other comparos. Oh, I forgot to mention ...

    EOM '06 Make your Reservations Now!

    ****! Bad timing. I dunno when I will get my bike and be done with break-in stuff! If things work out, I could be there for Sat AM and leave on Sunday ... Don't mind sharing a tent or a room. Save money == more farkles! Will see how it goes next week.

    Interested in a farkle for a favor? Need a test ride on a FJR

    That's very likely! Is this what you have on your bike? This newer version is very compact! Those who haven't heard this horn, have a blast! Just for grins check this out too!

    I just had a test ride on FJRandy's bike 03/04?! Awesome! - this is it. :clapping: I also saw a 06A that Randy put new horns on. Sat on it on high seat and it was still good! Reach to handlebar was good too. I am going to check w/ the local dealer if he still hasn't sold the 06A I negotiated...
