    No Russell's for me

    I use the Yamaha Gel seats for 90% of my riding. I’ll put the Russell Day longs on for any trip over 200 miles, great seats for long days. I like the looks of the russells but don’t like being on my tiptoes at stops, the wings do interfere with planting the feet.

    Mowing the Lawn!

    We have the standard 6-ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me; I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence. Actually, I got the biggest cattle...

    Why Some Men Have Dogs, Not Wives

    Why Some Men Have Dogs, Not Wives: 1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you. 2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Dogs agree that you have to raise...

    Hub cracks?

    I'm not a metallurgist who specializes in aluminum, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once. My 08 looks the same.

    California Smog Testing

    Loud pipes will be legal, special construction bikes will be exempt, just another tax for us law abiding citizens. I’ll be out of this state by then anyhow; bike will be gone in favor of an adventure type (5 miles of gravel road to my house), so enjoy the great new state of Kalifornia.

    Are the Yamaha "comfort seat's" really that much more comfortable?

    Very much depends on the distance you normally ride. The comfort seats added another 100 miles to my day, sheepskin covers another 100miles, and so 300-400 miles were possible. After 300-400 miles I don’t want to ride the bike again for a week. I just ordered seats from Russell to maybe do one...

    Balancing car tires -- max total weight

    I worked in a tire shop while attending college and found anything over 3 ounces a side was suspect. As stated previously rotating the tire 180 on the rim would eliminate the rim being damaged. The higher quality tire would always balance out with less than 1 ounce a side. Light truck tires may...

    Russell Seat build time?

    Called and emailed with no response, just curious what the average time before shipping? I have spare seats, but have a few long trips planned soon (like this weekend).

    Russell Seat build time?

    Two weeks past my build date and no communication from Russell yet, should I be concerned? Thanks Domenic

    2 up questions

    Very good suggestions here, but be prepared for her not wanting to ride again. She will hate the bike with nursing a bad knee; add spending tons of cash for atgatt, backrest-case and you’ll be riding alone. Borrow a helmet for her and ride around close first before laying out the bucks.

    2007 Ford Police Interceptor Won't Start

    Seen this before on drive by wire throttle bodies..Vehicle should be covered under either the 3/36 bumper to bumper or 5/50 emission warranty. The mass air flow sensor must see a minimum cfm of air before allowing the vehicle to start, should be a easy fix. But only Ford or large fleets will...

    How old are you FJR riders?

    Yes the FJR appeals to us old guys. I would love to be 18 again with a young hottie on the back of a sport bike.

    Yama Gel Seat.

    The Gel seats add about hundred miles, sheepskin cover another 100 miles over stock. I’ll be selling the gel seats next month after my Russell’s are done. Do buy used and add the sheepskin covers during the summer; I’ve soaked my gels in a lake after sitting in the sun on a trip last summer.
