They must have had a sick one. At 146 (per GPS) mine was just starting to run.

Sometimes, even with all the practice in the world, the wind is just fricken nasty and you just have to grit your teeth and get through it. In July I used I-25 in Eastern Wyoming as a short cut from Colorado to the Black Hills. It always seems to be windy there, but this year was exceptional. I...

Gunny that. I wouldn't put another pair of them on if Bridgestone was paying me to run them, never mind just getting another pair for free. Considering all the stuff I've bought over the years for bikes that was used for a short time and then shelved because it just wasn't for me, One crap set...

My first set wore fine, but those pics look exactly like my second set did after I returned from a 5500 mile trip last month. I've got a set of the PR's waiting for me at Desert Powersports, and I suppose I should probably see if Glen could get mine replaced as well. But, seeing as I have run...

Thanks Brodie. I had read your original post with your fix with great interest. I'm very tempted, (after I complete the repairs to my 68 Camaro that blew a gasket returning from a car show yesterday) to go ahead and dive into the FJR switch. At this point, I have no confidence the new switch...

You can toss me onto the failed ignition switch scrap heap. In Arizona a few weeks back, Jenny and I stopped for some road construction on our way to Monument Valley. I got back on the bike, turned the key, got a momentary flicker of lights, and then nothing. After last years trip where we had...

It was 113 before noon when Jenny and I went through Barstow and Needles on our way to Kingman a couple of weeks ago. the 100 it was in Kingman felt downright cool after that. Of course, it wasn't as bad as when I went through Bullhead City a few years back at a nice toasty 122. I'll never make...

Awwww shucks, the AE is like ***, you don't know what you are missing if you have never had it. B)

I was in there early afternoon last Saturday getting a warrenty part on mine. That 08 sure looked purty sitting there all lonely like.

I would push my bike the 300 miles to Desert Powersports in Prosser before I would ride it the 2 miles to my local dealer. Even if the local dealer would work on it for free. I am the Parts Manager for a Chevrolet Dealer, and can really appreciate what it takes to provide a first rate dealership...

Jenny and I were Northbound on 97 last Sunday and I was happily breaking the law when a very thoughfull Harley going Southbound gave me the "down pat". Less than 1/2 a mile later I went by a parked WSP open for business and looking for paying customers. That guy on the Harley saved me a pretty...

Jenny and I were returning on Hy2 on Sunday. We must have seen at least 7 or 8 FJRs. All years. We even saw another AE at a fuel stop after we turned onto Hy 9. There really are getting to be a lot of us. Not to many years ago, taking a week long trip and seeing any other FJRs was noteworthy...

mcycleman, your problems sound exactly what my 06 did last year in Utah before the main harness completely failed and the bike was stranded in Idaho. Mine started out with the bike just dying as I went to park it at the end of the day. All the dash lights would illuminate, I'd cycle the key...

I'm in Mexico untill the 29th. If I can get some things cleaned up at work quickly when I get back, I will head down. It's a little over 500 miles each way so I'd be heading down Friday mid-day at some point.

Always troubling posts to read, brings back some memories I would rather forget. RIP Richard.

Gunny to all above. And I would add that I sold my '04 to a friend of mine when I bought the AE. I ride with him often, and the only place he gets me in a drag race is off the line. Above 5 mph, the bikes run completely even.

Same thing I do OC. This bike just seems to hate to sit still. :)

I'm with Airboss. And, since my wallet also has my credit cards, if I leave the house it is attached to my body at all times. I guess if this gets Googled the bad guys can always pick my pocket, under my riding pants. :rolleyes:

I've always been kinda lucky that way too Jac. Jenny LOVES new bikes.

Never put off to tomorrow, what you can do today. Seriously, you can do an awfull lot of riding on the '08 before the '09 is ever even born. You can't put a price on the time you will be waiting.
