    Bought my last bike - Big FJR

    So, you just took his word regarding a properly annealed and/or crush washer. I suspect you've been had my friend. I suppose you also accepted his word that it was properly torqued. Given the fact that he sold you an 07(should be purple) FJR in Galaxy Blue with 4K miles I suspect he's also...

    Project KZ1300

    I guess you just had to be there. No, Carver didn't do any burnouts, but to see and here that beast in person was worth the wait. Ray; Awesome job on a bike I didn't even know had been manufactured until this thread came along. Don, nice job of keeping a dream alive. Once she was fired up and...

    No-Mar Tire Install

    Fred, The main reason, I believe for that riser is to do exactly what you're afraid it's going to do. It helps push the lower bead into the drop center.

    No-Mar Tire Install

    Trying not to get too far off topic. Especially since the OP's question has essentially been answered. In response to the time and money spent on a tire changer vs. going sown to Cycle Gear, here is my two cents. I can now change the tire at my convenience. I can now save the old tire and if...

    Too Close for Comfort

    Seriously! What's the issue here? Cars pull out and do strange stuff all the time. Somehow, here on this Forum, we(meaning y'all) act like it's an issue. Sorry, I just don't get it. BTW, all the Clearwaters in the world wouldn't have prevented this. What this guy needed was some really loud...

    KZ1300 RTE

    First of all, as I look at a map, Santa Clara is almost dead center between Mexico and Oregon. If that doesn't qualify for Central California...... Secondly, I think Ray was looking for people that COULD go, not those with a bunch of weasel excuses. Lastly, I'm sure Beemerdons is IN! That...

    California Lane Splitting Guidelines Now Being Developed--UPDATED 5/18

    To a certain degree it doesn't really matter what the law looks like when enacted. In California they enact reasonable laws all the time. Nobody *******. Then, two weeks later, in the middle of the night, they amend the law. It wouldn't surprise me if this starts out at 30 mph and is quickly...

    SHOT Show Trip Report: 60 Hours, Fear and Learning In Las Vegas - Bathroom Edition

    Curious. You found the HK P2000 too large but liked the LARGE MK23. Have you tried the quiet, yet simple, yet perfect, USP? BTW, thanks fior an excellent report.

    BeemerDonS crashes, is in hospital.

    Don, Don, Don, ****. Had to hear about this while out of town attending to one of your Irish cousins. Just got back to a computer. Personally, I didn't read all eight pages so I don't know if anyone else has got dibs on Giselle, but hey, better late than never. Seriously, you are in this...

    Guilty As NOT Charged

    Maybe HRZ can help out on this. Theoretically, all they have is your motorcycle going through the toll gate. They don't know who was riding it. How can you be held responsible for what some unknown person was doing on "your" bike?

    Old Michael Compilation (Put Your Old Michael Jokes Here)

    I dunno. Her eyes seem a little too far apart.

    Geezer and Bokerfork Photo Competition

    Congratulations Bob. Glad we could help. Still can't believe it only took 2 hours of posing and lighting changes to get that "Ah Gee" look.

    RTE Decide and Ride

    If only I knew what time brunch was going to be. Guess I'll just show up with RogDeb. I doubt anyone else will sit with them anyway.

    A tale of skinny bikes on skinny trails.

    "should balance fail and gravity prevail"......that's good stuff right there. Thanks for the ride a long Brad. A few more pics of the zooki getting air would have been nice. Mark

    Official SW-FOG 2015 Announcement: 5/28-31, THU-SUN!

    The other Best Western is also twice as nice and only about $20 more per night. The El Rey is quite decent but the other is quite excellent. JSNS.

    Australian Un-Marked Motorcycles Target Cell Phone Users

    Blue tooth or not, makes no difference. It isn't the holding the phone to your ear that is the problem. It's the talking on a phone while driving that is the problem. Can't cite the specific studies but I believe they were done by AAA. Think about it, what's the difference between holding a cup...

    Montana legislators mull 85 mph speed limit

    Not to worry. Here in California we will maintain the 55 MPH speed limit for trucks and vehicles with trailers no matter what common sense or other States are doing. If it were up to California, your speedometer would still top out at 85. (remember those good times?)

    RTE Sacramento Area - to be rescheduled

    Come down to West Sac and go to Dad's Kitchen in the Land Park area. Parking is slim(for cagers anyway) but the Dads burger is off the chart. Just ask Guy Fieri. Anyway, you wanted suggestions. JSNS
