    Garmin Basecamp Routing Issue

    I thought Iris would be leading us to FODS in WV, but not if she can't read a stinkin map The only problem with following a track on the 478 is there are no voice or sound prompts. I suppose I could just teach myself to stop and look at each intersection.

    New England rider's S76 and Mr Bill are the distance leaders so far. S76 said two days out, but I found a short cut that will take us at least three

    Gen II DOA

    Hey S76, No camping at NAFO! We are going to pack light and do high speed tire testing along the high plains to the Rockies. Remember that my bike is a lemon and has a top end of only 152 so you'll have to wait for me at the front range.

    Best Place To Retire Early

    I've figured my retirement taxes, sales taxes, and realty taxes in all the New England states plus New York. I'm staying put here in Massachusetts. But if the the stock market keeps crashing I'll be looking to set up my tent someplace warmer.

    I'm hard of hearing and always thought my wife was calling me a hick too. I was told she's been calling me a **** not a Hick all these years. You'd better check on that yourself HickZilla

    First gen timing chain questions.

    See if there are any recalls that need to be done. I know there is one important one. TPS replacement. Throttle Position Sensor I don't recall if there are any more recalls. Three of the best year 2003 bikes lined up for a ferry ride:

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    Slipper clutch would be great to have. My KTM has one and it makes downshifting ***** proof. After riding the KTM I'm always forgetting the FJR does not have one. My poor rear FJR tire!

    How hard do you run your FJR, and how often?

    I'm too scared to look at the gauges when I'm riding, but that darn rev limiter hits me at the worst times every ride

    New dealer down the street from work now.

    Compare the price to 690r. Cliffs is near you too. It looks like that Husky seat is wider than my ktm seat. I wonder if it would fit?

    He said earlier that he was IN. FredW did the same thing. Both of them are from Boston so it must be a Beantown thing.
