    Difficult Slow Speed Steering on '07 FJR

    +1 on the low tire pressure. I accidentally ran low on tire pressure and the big clue was that once it started turning I had trouble straightening back out. From what you're describing, it sounds like ran into the same situation. That bike needs a new front tire.

    Today was tech day... Time for your best captions

    Wow...when I first saw this, I was bummed I missed a tech day near my house...then after seeing the pics, well, I'm glad I went to the Bobby McFerrin concert in The City instead.

    Nuvi 550

    I had my credit card out, before I realized this is the Nuvi, not the Zumo. Thanks though, that is a good deal!

    Highway one part 2

    Got your left mixed up with your right, at the CHP encounter, I see :) I'm starting to like watching these videos...this is great, just like I thought the Volvo one was! I love watching the shadows move around you, and trying to see what is sticking out making this shadow or that one. Do...

    Garter snakes can be dangerous

    Garter snakes can be dangerous. Grass Snakes also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous. Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why. A couple in Sweetwater , Texas , had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them...

    Massive Motorcycle Crash; North Phoenix

    Wow...I read this as it unfolded, and kept trying to keep in mind that it might have just been a regular old accident, where the driver was distracted for the wrong 1.5 seconds. Kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, and not blame him. The fact that he was actually charged means...

    Range

    With the stock windshield, I usually refill at about 200-210 miles but that leaves me with a 40-50 mile reserve capability. Sometimes I do go farther, I think about 230 has been the most. I go pretty easy on the throttle, most of the time, too.

    Shuttle launch!

    I'm planning on going to Florida for the July launch...currently scheduled for 7/29, I believe. Planning on hanging around a week or two after, just in case. My boss knows I'm not coming back until I see it launch though. Hope they're not too late!

    High blood pressure, in middle aged men.

    Kaitsdad-you have scheduled an appt, right? Even if it was acceptable a few months ago, a reading that bad at a time when you shouldn't have been stressed (Bustanut's posts aren't THAT bad), I hope you get it checked out and pronto. My dr. office will let anybody walk in and ask for a BP...

    New Pics of the Feejer

    Awesome looking ride! You need to update your profile stats, as it says 'looking'...I think that phase is over now!

    Dealership Is Giving Me A New Gas Tank...

    So, do you mind sharing the name of the dealer?

    High blood pressure, in middle aged men.

    So, what I'm hearing, is that YOU think meandering around a drug store isn't stressful. He, on the other hand, might not agree! Is this BP machine, by chance, at the end of the aisle that has all the feminine hygiene products, lubricants, condoms, etc in it? That might have...uhm...well...

    High blood pressure, in middle aged men.

    I too am no medical professional. However, I've had more experience in ER's and hospitals than most. I think I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, too. 167/95 as a one-time reading is not horrible. A guaranteed way to make your bp get that way: slam a car door on your finger and take the...

    Ipad

    I'm thinking about it as well. Several people I work with are definitely going to. I'm wondering if waiting for the cellular enabled one is worth it though.

    Who was in Fremont, CA REI yesterday?

    Someone wearing a light-colored one-piece motorcycle suite and carrying a dark helmet was in the Fremont, CA REI yesterday. My wife was there buying sandals for my 6-yr old son, when he noticed the motorcycle guy buying sandals for someone. As my wife and son were heading out, they saw the...

    FJR Assistance Directory Address

    I was just about to send an email to the [email protected] listed in the first post from Jan 2009. Is Bungie still managing the list? If not, then who? I realize I'm relatively unknown on the board, but I'd be willing to take care of it, if nobody else wants to: I'd just need a copy of it...
