What is Escort Live? As most of you know Escort makes radar detectors. Escort Live is an added iPhone / Android app that communicates (via bluetooth) with your Escort Radar detector, and with the rest of the Escort Live Alert community. When you or any other Escort Live user obtains an Ka or...

IMHO this new bike just isn't that exciting. It is basically the same damn bike as my 2006. In the sportbike world 6 years is like night and day. Nobody in the right mind would show up to the racetrack with 6 year old technology, they would be blown away by the competition. Sportbikes seem to go...

Most of my driving is on 2 lane back roads. I remember on one stretch in Nebraska, that we literally didn't see a cop for 400 miles. Then we had to hop on the freeway and it was littered with police. They are always looking for the low lying fruit. Freeways with lots of cars and towns with low...

How can it be wrong, when it just FEELS SO RIGHT !!!! ????? :rolleyes:

Last month my wife and I headed out on a 5,200 mile two week trip to Iowa and back. Home is Long Beach, CA. I wanted the bike to be ready for the journey, so I performed the following maintenance and upgrades. Forks sent off to Traxxion for the ATK-20 inserts. While the forks were off, I...

I have been in the mood to service my bike, and thought I would look at the clutch (reading most threads on the clutch issues, which is a lot). The bike is a 2006 with standard transmission and 40k miles. My major complaint is the VERY vague engagement point. My second complaint is the slightly...

I just searched the forum for "Roadsmart" and didn't notice and postings for the "Version 2". Since the tire is newer, maybe experience is still thin. Does anybody have any experience with the new version? Update: Opps - found this thread...

Getting ready for a longer trip, so gave it the COMPLETE service 1) New AK-20 Traxxion front forks 2) Tapered steering stem bearings 3) Perform ignition switch recall 4) New tires front and rear 5) Change oil 5) Change rear drive gear oil 6) Lube driveshaft spline ( first time and it needed it)...

JimLor, Thanks for the excellent right up. My front end is apart right now, so I am glad I stumbled upon this thread at this point. I have always felt like the FJR is a little vague at speed (100+mph), so hopefully this mod will help improve steering precision. Thanks for the right up.

Don, if you are still getting speeding tickets, then you are still alive. I just think you got a little younger. Congratulations on your performance award. You just went up a notch in my book! P.S. - I just got my first AARP mail addressed to me. I am only 49. What gives?

The last time I rode my bike was about six months or even more ago. It is likely the release of the Mercedes and Infiniti's, explains the sudden occurance of laser. I will try to pay attention to what might be setting it off.

My Escort dectector has laser, which almost never goes off. It went off while in Death Valley twice this weekend, but I chalk this up to China Lake navel weapons station and planes. However when I was going south on the 57 between the 60 and the 22, I saw over 5 CHP traffic stops and my...

I have to say that while Eureka by the cost was very cold for motorcycling, the surrounding roads inland, where temperatures where much warmer, were some of the best. Great scenary, great turns, little traffic and well paved roads (for the most part). You don't get a chance to connect that many...

I don't think this video will be going "viral" on the internet anytime soon.

Richard, When you said "lets go find some women, get pissed and take our clothes off". This was NOT what you had in mind?

It all started last night with a pre-pissing contest. The debate over who was the fastest. Fairlaner or FJRonamission. The debate was really two fold. First a contest of ego and ability, but secondly a contest of physics, philosophy, tire choice, and whether a car tire for the rear was anything...

What's up with the music in the 2nd half. "Johnny, I need a lover", "I'd love to love you". Isn't this kind of gay, or are you trying to tell me something?

When I finally passed the Volvo as he hit traffic, I gave him the thumbs up. Any driver willing to push it like he was deserves the :thumbsupsmileyanim: .

Thanks Bill for the Video, I really like tepusquet road. That was fun.

Big Dan, nice meeting you as well, sorry about the tip over, that's usually how it happens, at slow speed. The key is to always being moving fast and then you won't crash :D Just kidding, sorry we didn't get that chance to ride together. Glad everybody had a good ride home. Good seeing...
