Thanks for the concerns. I have no idea how many times I rolled and tumbled, tuck and roll baby! Yeah, I'm happy I still have the blackbird. I went with Jagermeister today on a 150 mile run of some nice twisties. It felt good to ride again, and I really wasn't all that sore. The BB is no...

Wilburs Rear, upgraded front springs. I am not 100% sure it was the bracket, but that this is scraped to ****. It could have been scraped after the lowside, but what else would have made that distinct drag mark? It wasn't the muffler or header, those are clean. The saddlebag wouldn't have...

They were in the up position.

Well, what started out as a great day and very good ride ended very bad. Well, at least for the bike, at least I am fine. Countdown to FJR extinction. This was the ride to go help out IndianaTom and do some chores. There were 4 of us, Bill (FJRintheVille), Chris, (Jagermeister), Adrian...

Awesome. It was like the tree and bike were just meant to be. "Forget the parked car lady, that tree is comin right at me!"

Yeah, I sent you a pm.

I have posted with a question, but don't get any useful answers on the other forum, so I figured I'd ask here. 1. My rear brake has no pressure when I compress it. Pump it a few times, and it will activate, and seems to work fine. But somtimes, without even letting off the break pressure, it...

Just hit 22 the other day and was in glee that it was repaved. Gotta watch for work trucks though, seem to see more and more trucks on that route, which is what chewed up the pavement in the first place. Yeah, 227 needs it too, but at least the first half heading south is in pretty good shape...

DAMN WORK!!! Always blocking my you-tube access. Sheesh, what else am I supposed to do for 8 hours.....

I'm sure that impact armor will save a sore knee, hip, elbow, ankle...... when you hit the ground. But if you hit a car at 50-60 mph, I'm not so sure that stuff is going to do much anyway. Still I'd rather have it on that not have it. But I don't plan on hitting any cars, I'm too good at...

Smartass! ;)

Exactly.... From my looks at the NHSTA statistics, when you factor in the total number of cars vs. number of motorcycles (reported) to be on the road, you are actually less likely to be in an accident on a bike. However, those in an accident with another car, were something like 4 times more...

Met a guy and his wife out riding a FJ1200. Actually the first one I ever saw in person. I sat on it too, and the ergos were real nice. Would like to ride it someday, he told me it had quite a bit of work done to it. Told me it ran like a scalded ape. Said he can't wheelie the damn thing...

please don't double post.... stick to your original thread for answers.

I hope your not a dentist... :D

Update from Vonda, finally good news!!!!!! Hello friends, Well, the visit to Indy was cancelled. After discussion with the Indy doc, it was decided the procedure wasn't necessary, and that it was time to go ahead with the permanent shunts. Monday night, Tom was in surgery for several hours...

No prob Wheaton. I'll be sure to let Vonda know that there are several who would like to help out, but it's just really far for a lot people.

My 8500 has saved me from performance awards many a time!

oops... Did that on my honda 919 a week after I got it.... Phone was ringing, wanted to stop quick and jump off to answer it, thought kickstand was down, nope.... Oh well, at least damages were minimal.

Did you invent a time machine? Because you posted this July, but it says this weekend, June 11-13! ;) Wish I could go, but going to help out with Tom and Vonda's housework. Have fun, I still would like to get back there sometime soon, but time is crunched over the next month. Maybe...
