    Thanks for asking Dave, and thanks for your offer as we were leaving. We didn't hit any real rain untill we were well over the top of the pass, and got home before the gullywasher started. We never even bothered to stop and don the raingear. Considering we both had our colds, probably not real...

    Wow, 4 days have passed, and unless I missed something, (I may have, I have monster cold and flu) The proper accolades to Dan Denchel, Dale Wilson, (AKA Warchild) and the rest of the Desert Valley Powersports staff, and trying not to exclude anyone and everyone, (because it was a dealership...

    Yamaha Comfort seat

    Hmmmm, what to do, what to do? I really loved my Corbin on my '04, and yet, on my '06 I find it forces me a bit more forward than I wish, and is a bit lower than my long inseam wants. Question, would the Yami seat be a better bet for me?

    Finally Going on a long ride, Need advice

    I might have been that letter writer. A couple of years back I sent a letter to one of the mags in regards to "Leaving the laundry for the maid" and they published it. Boy did my family give me crap over that one. :lol: A lot has changed since those days however, and there is no longer any...

    Spare Key(s) While Touring

    I have a spare key cut at a locksmith on one of those flat headed blanks. It then goes in my wallet behind my drivers license. Seeing as my wallet is always in my pocket, I always have my spare key.

    Garmin 2720 for $349.99 + S&H

    Ya know TWN, you are correct. Just about the time I think I have everything I "have" to have, and sometimes in triplicate, somebody comes along and proves me wrong. On the other hand, You will never see the Grand Canyon, or Arches National Park, or Yellowstone, or... etc..etc, from a boat. True...

    Our FJR Is In A Battle

    Yes. I had voted long before the flap all started, but since that doesn't count anymore, I did the written vote last night as well. Geeeeze, what a riot that whole thing is. :rolleyes:

    If they actually did this again next year I'd say they are gluttons for punishment. :assassin:

    First FJR sold in USA

    There are still some pics of the delivery over on the registry. The '03 I ended up buying used was VIN 0501. Is that familiar to anyone? It was well on it's way to being a ticker when I sold it, I would love to find out it's story over the last few years. When he took delivery and posted the...

    First FJR sold in USA

    Correct TWN. It was Roachman who took claim to the first delivery on 7/11/2002. As far as I know, he was the first PDP bike delivered in the states.

    First FJR sold in USA

    My 03 FJR was ordered the last week of the PDP. I saw a pic of it in my Motorcycle Consumer News, and went down and ordered one, came home and got on the internet to find out what I had just done to myself. I'll never forget seeing that pic and reading the stats about that bike. When I got to...

    First FJR sold in USA

    It was mid July '02 if I remember correctly. The guy worked at a dealer. You might still be able to research the info on the Euro board. At the time, it was the main FJR board. I can almost remember his name, but not quite. (The mind is a terrible thing to lose) I'll bet somebody else comes...

    A word about heated gear.

    Learn something every day I guess. I always thought the best solution to heated gear was to heat what you already have, I just didn't think it was done. Is Gerbings doing that? What is the cost?

    What's the Worst Farkle you've ever bought?

    Oh yeah, I wasn't real thrilled with the passenger footpeg extenders either on the '04. Jenny claimed no real benefit for the money spent. Pretty pricey experiment too.

    What's the Worst Farkle you've ever bought?

    Yup, different folks, different experiences. My main ***** with my tankslapper was that everytime I took off my Corbin seat, it tried to peel up the bottom edge on the tank. After awhile, they simply didn't want to re-stick. But as for the Vista cruise, I've had one on every street bike I have...
