    2013 FJR w 299 Miles FS in MA

    Did you mean 2992 miles? Anyway I'd be interested, but I have a similar problem with selling my V Star Deluxe 1300 first. I doubt it will get sold till spring. If I could get mine sold before you...Big If....I'd be interested. I'm curious why you changed your mind on this bike?

    2013 Europe trip

    Yes, if you check back in the thread you'll see we sent the bike over in 2010. At that time we spent 2 1/2 months in Europe. I had planned to leave the bike there at that time, but it had a transmission problem and I had to ship it back. Anyway it's going back in March. We just have to figure...

    2009 Yamaha FJR AYB 1300 for sale $8888.00

    Now if I could get my V Star 1300 Deluxe sold soon I'd be interested. Not a good time of year to sell a bike. I assume the bank has the title? Unfortunetly I doubt I'm get mine sold till spring. If you still have it? Big if? Anyway I'm interested, just bad timing.

    2013 Europe trip

    No renting. We will be shipping the bike and maybe leaving it at Stefan's place for a few years. We just booked a trip to Costa Rica for January and now we find my son and family are moving up from Georgia to the DC area in May. This may alter our oringinal plans for May and Spain. If we...

    2013 Europe trip

    A little ealy for the Alps in late May. I wonder how the Pyrenees mountains are that time of year? I've always wanted to ride in Andalucia. I'd like to take the bike by ferry to Morocco, but that's probably not practical. I'd also like to visit "The Grand Canyon of Verdon" in Southern...

    2013 Europe trip

    Are you going in 2014? We are still deciding what we're doing. It might push us to go if we had someone else to meet up with. We have family and friends in Germany. I also wondered where you stayed during your trip? Our last trip we split up time between friend in Germany, camping cabins and...

    Video from the Cherohala Skyway

    Cool! Too bad the week was so short.....so many roads....so little time.

    home safe thread

    Made it home around 6:30pm five minutes after my wife got home from her two day class in NC. Total was 1,434 miles and 505 miles to home. The Blue Ridge from Ashville to Mt Michell was awesome Sunday morning. There was this sur-real layer of clouds filtering between the montains with clear blue...

    Ride plans for EOM

    And I thought you was going straight to bed after that Canadian wiskey, so you'd be well rested for the ride tomorrow. I'll be going to bed right after posting this. That was a pretty good Mexican resturant! Glad I followed your lead.....see you in the morning.

    EOM 2013 - Maggie Valley, NC 20-22 September 2013

    Sorry to disagree, but IMHO last week I wouldn't have liked wearing ATGATT. It's more comfortable wearing ATGATT when the weather is a little on the cool side. Bungie will be just fine once he gets a little ways south from home.

    EOM 2013 - Maggie Valley, NC 20-22 September 2013

    Thanks for reminding me why we moved to Virginia from New England 14 years ago! Would you believe, some of my neigbors think we have winter down here! We're planning a trip to Virginia beach the weekend after EOM. We was up to PEI, NB, NS & NE in August and the weather was great up there...

    2013 Europe trip

    Shipped my FJR through Stefan a couple years ago, 2010. Wife and I toured for 2 1/2 months through Europe. Seriously thinking of sending it over again for next year, 2014. We are thinking of doing the Brittish Isles this time and maybe Scandinavia? If we do it next time I'll leave it for a few...

    Trip to Spain

    Just google Bike rentals Madrid, Spain. I'm sure something will come up. Also look for rental companies in the back of bike magazines, like Rider or Road Runner. It seems a waste talking about one day. If you're going to be there anyway try and get a week vacation added to the end of the trip...

    Look for thoughts & comments on bent shifting fork

    The problem is mostly bikes with high torque motors like the FJR and Busa. Hard acceleration in second gear puts very high stress on the shift fork and dogs. My 04 started jumping out of second gear and progressively got worst until I lost 4th gear and 2nd. At 115,000 miles I decided to...

    SOLD - Gen 1 Corbin Driver and Passenger - $200

    I had thought Corbin seats were all one piece? Looking down from the top it's hard to tell the shape. Do you sit lower in this seat than the stock seat? I'd like to see a side view....see how it's shaped?

    EOM 2013 - Maggie Valley, NC 20-22 September 2013

    Great location. Lots of good roads. Looking forward to it. Only negative for me....it's only a days ride from home.

    EOM 2012 Website & Registration

    Mike, I knew we could count on you with your new GPS and all. Hope the new one knows which are the dirt tracks? I'm not in for the 500 mile thing either. I'll be doing 500+ miles just to get there. I'm still thinking of getting a head start later today in the rain. Maybe I can cut out a couple...
