    Air travel

    Indeed - ran into the "live to ride - ride to die" website yesterday ... Ya don't suppose the rise in deaths per mile (from 14 [1997] to 32 [2004] (relative to deaths per mile in automobiles) has anything to do with repeal of mandator helmet laws ?? There are other factors of course - aging...

    Hard Drive Camcorder

    Not sure how picky you want to be about picture quality -- but this bullet cam from Oregon Scientific was mentioned a while back: clicky Pro: 70 bucks for the camera, 70 for a 2 GB memory card, all-solid state, no-wires. Con: reported picture quality is what you'd expect at the price & only...

    Barber track day death

    first - condolences to the Shelly's family and friends second - it's not you, it's just another meat-puppet / newstwit who won't let the facts get in the way of their opinion -- (or get even the basic facts right ... -- 1. First mention of the Sportbike Tracktime calls them "Motorsport...

    moving on

    US 97 from Yakima on down thru Biggs Junction, Madras, Bend & on into La Pine is a nice ride - [unless the wind is screaming through the gorge].

    Smartire ... anybody use it?

    Haven't used it myself - there was a thread on this awhile ago, reports seemed generally positive -- but I can't seem to the thread with the "search" function -- perhaps admins haven't had a chance to restore it, after the "hack attack" we had a few weeks ago(?)

    Forum Upgrades this weekend

    ++1 Heck, I'd by 'FJR-scout' cookies if you got'em. - this forum has been one of the many postive parts of owning the FJR [aside from the obvious benefits like "acceleration therapy," etc.] D.

    Dropped your '06 yet?

    OK - A slight variation on the original question -- Who dropped their's earliest -- my put: Picked up the bike [05, 0 miles], drove home, stopped on the inclined driveway, -- opened the garage door -- got back on the bike -- tried to start it with the kick stand down [didn't work...

    Getting dent out of fuel tank

    A couple of weeks ago some a-hole decided to "press to test" on the tuning fork emblem on the left side of my fuel tank - resulting in the following little dent ... Had the bike in the shop for it's 4000 mi check up and asked them to price taking it out -- my shop doesn't do the body work...

    90,000 BMWs recalled

    Sometimes google's behind on a breaking story - but I can't find it on CNN.com, seattle-times.com, latimes.com, etc. there's also nothing on BMWmotorcycles.com [except BamaCop complaining that his buddies FJR got here before his new beemer] OTOH, it doesn't appear to be a fake web page, since...

    Anybody notice the AE picture addition?

    Maybe someone could send a picture of their own new '06 -- I remember reading that they were going to be here in March, right? :( At least that's what the salesman said ----

    FJR wont start!! SOS

    Vent the garage anyway -- your body detects CO2 levels, not O2 or CO -- you won't "notice" a problem until it's too late -- extreme example: NASA techs have died after walking into the comparments on the shuttle that were purged with N2 (fire/explosion precaution) -- loss of O2 hits the brain...
