    Need More Brakes!

    I have performed a stoppie of sorts and posted here and on the other (feej) forum about it at the time. This was back when I was taking my 06AE ABS to a parking lot several times a week to practice (I was bored and this is fun to me). I can tell you first hand there is a TREMENDOUS difference...

    What's missing in this picture?

    Hmm Initial thought a nut would mean exposed threads off the top of the nut to get damaged during riding. Where a bolt back to the pinch design would not.. This is also true of the other jap bikes I have wrenched on lately.. Just a thought

    Random Ramblings and some perspective

    Ahhh Yes... I have been pursuing avenues with the state.. It is a slow process.. the mining company as well.. Both are rather reticent and I am working on overcoming that first. But I do think it is safe to say I have their attention. I would imagine in their perfect world I will just give up...

    Random Ramblings and some perspective

    The thoughts.. After totaling my AE I am now in the market for another FJR (eventually). So the natural question is, will I buy another AE. Of course I will with one caveat, if I find the right deal on a non AE I will not hesitate to buy it., But another thing.. I like the color of the 09 AE...

    What's missing in this picture?

    I started reading that 20 page POS doc.. and started having flashbacks to my navy days and tech pub manuals on the F18 Hornet (what I worked on in "The Nav") and had to stop when I was still reading about "Scope" on page 5 It is a bolt and they can get screwed if they dont like it Shop manual...

    Thanks D and SP, it is a valid question for me to be asked. Many that gave money dont know me from adam.. It is a fair question and deserves an answer.

    Tys Money, update

    The Question Robin This is a question borne out of the fact that on Caringbridge.org Jaime is talking about how SBR had a collection and bought Tyler a new laptop - but there has never been any mention of the $12000 or so raised as a result of your efforts across 4 or 5 forums Have they been...

    Any Reason to not buy an '06 model?

    I wadded mine up just south of 35K on the clock.. I never even took it in for a valve check Mine was an AE.. Other than that the same bike. I usually rode mine pretty hard too.. I had 12 sets of tires on it in the 35K (reference wadding it up twice, well second time was not from riding hard) I...

    Yes, I did not make the payments.. My CU was cool as I was in constant contact with them.. I am out exactly 500 bucks.. The amount of my deductible. It must have made a difference because he called me back and told me to please understand that they sent off a proposal on Friday and to please...

    Hi Chuck, Robin Patrick here, Claim number 2117737, on my 30 day old claim
