1st 80 degree day of the year yestiddy. 1st T-shirt ride of the season. Today we're supposed to get thunderstorms and hail for most of the day.

ding ding ding, we have a winner. How is the knee doing? putting a motor together so that it will last whilst putting up with your thrashing can be a hard thing to do. Especially when you want to be able to ride 700 miles and not have to call your buddy 2 states away. DAMHIK. Yup, google is...

89 bux this year for the Bandit. I think there was a $30 weight fee and then there was a little gem $20 - Spokane, TBD TBD, more like WTF! That gentlemen is what taxation without representation is all about. We're gonna take your 20 bux but we don't know what for.

Boss, "Who's the stupid one, you or me?" Me, "Boss, everyone here knows that you don't hire stupid people."

good mechanics are very hard to find, especially ones with a broad enough skill set for electrical. Some folks just cant grasp that whole positive/negative thing. I've been wrenching for as long as I can remeber. Dad taught me how to use a multimeter and solder before I was 9 years old. I have...

Would they work with a Throttlemeister? Anybody know?

Here's an 05 in Idaho for 3500 https://spokane.craigslist.org/mcy/6058977748.html

Why can't you ride it right now? Is it going to be a garage queen for a couple years? If so, sell it to someone that WILL enjoy it. 10 years is a long time to have a bike, and sometimes letting go of them can be more emotional than practical. Other bikes always come along when you need them...

Alrighty then. All buttoned up, Did a 70 mile shakedown ride today and everything held together at 110 mph+ so I must have done something right. Now that I've been in there, it will be a cakewalk to get back in. Only had 1 bolt, 2 allen head, and one screw left over. I was expecting pthe bolt...

yarp, build it and they will come

Well ya know, since you can watch a movie on your in dash screen nowadays, cars better learn to drive themselves. IMO, everybody that gets a drivers license should have to do 1 months worth of riding a scooter before they get their license. That way they get a 1st hand look at the morons they...

Did the 1st valve check since I have owned the bike. (50K, bought it at 48K) GEN1 always been rattlin a little on the right side. Once you get far enough into the bike, the CCT is a cakewalk. Mind you, I haven't actualy had the CCT out of the engine yet, but i managed to change 4 shims on the...

Excellent example of form overtaking function.

Just ride the thing. If you want to go faster/quicker, get another bike. Bandit/ZRX/FZ1 kinda bike. Set up the FJR to chew up the smiles in comfort, and have the second bike for hooliganism. My .02 Da Wolf

Heh, Heh, looks like you guys are about to get what we had to deal with for 3 months. Finally got the Bandit out yesterday for the 1st ride out of town. 65 mile round trip averaging around 82 mph. With the approriate stops for a drink and burger. Damn that was nice. Now it looks like rain for...

Finally had good enough weather to get the ice out of the driveway 3 weeks ago. Didn't get to go for a a ride, but all ready to go. Snowed the next day............ Been like that for 3 weeks now. I think we might have turned the corner into spring. Now it's just raining like seattle...

Bankrupt again, ****. Any of you guys remember Jim Boxes?

Well, there ya go, the answer is "tree"

Discussing the merits of electronic ignition is pointless.............
