    UK Dealers Don't Know What They Are Selling

    Hmm...he couldn't be much, what with the hidden damage and ongoing repairs. And I could use a good wrench around here....he could show me a thing or two on mounting tires.... Okay...$27.00, (2) T-bones, and (1) case of...Bud? Sam Adams?

    you two guy's interpretation on model comparisons!

    Good info, Warchild. Somehow I had not heard of the high-speed stability issue; that's terrible, to say the least. You would think Honda would be concerned about litigation, especially what with police agencies being involved.

    bike wouldn't engage gear (AE)

    Yeah, it means the YCCS chip took a sh*t, and you are located in the the lower 48 states... :P (couldn't resist!). Standby....I'm sure you'll get a 'real' response from an 06 owner shortly... B)

    Bike Ticking, Yamaha Denying, Dealer Stuck

    IMO, it gets down to the prevailing 'save face' attitude of the Japanese corps.; (be advised I'm NOT trying to turn this into a dreaded political thread) I have learned through long term conversations with my brother, (a bit of background: my brother, 25 yr. repair tech on high $ (six figure)...

    Griffith Park SideCar Rally -

    I gotta admit, it's a great-looking rig...not for me, though. My kid would love it; he kept going back to sit in the Ural sidecars at last year's CycleShow. But can you put a urinal in a Ural? Hmmm..

    Stupid pillion mount and dismount question with top box

    All good answers...my wife reported (I'm not qualified since I don't ride back there) :rolleyes: "You don't swing your leg over, you just lift it up and put it over the seat, sideways" She also grabs my shoulder for support. There you have it, an *OFFICIAL* female answer.

    Bike Ticking, Yamaha Denying, Dealer Stuck

    Well, that's most disheartening, to say the least...I thought Cypress had gotten over the 'don't ask/don't tell' BS and is interested in keeping their customer base. If this denial crap is still going on that doesn't bode well for us.

    Apologies to those I have offended

    Hmmm..where I have I seen this guy before?... :dntknw: Wait a minute.... I think I remember.... Holy crap! I knew it!

    Helmet Strap

    Old man Arai would redline in his grave to hear that question! :lol: All the helmet manufacturer's would, of course, advise against any stitching job; obviously in a crash, you might reap what you sewed! (damn, I'm funny at times..and then there's now... :rolleyes: ) In 'real world usage'...

    Texas Flooding

    Yeah, let's not forget tropical storm Allison...check out this pic of downtown Houston: It was 'just' a tropical storm, but dumped some 33 inches of rain on the area in about 24 hrs, as I recall. My mom's house flooded; it was in the '100 yr. flood plain'. The media called it the 'storm of...

    Sidestand issues? Remember the Roaddog?

    Seen it before..came across this in Walneck's Cycle Trader history. He owns it now; has 4 hydraulic rams to hold it up!

    Why wouldn't the FJR benefit from a steering stabilizer?

    NO wheel weights? I'd be highly suspect of that...I can't recall ever seeing a bike tire/wheel combo that was so perfect that it didn't require *some* balancing.
