    2009 paint colors?

    I heard they're going to rename the 08 color for the non-AE to "Fastest Black", to shut up all the damn GenI owners. ;) The AE gets the color moniker of "Lazy *** Silver"

    Modded 07FJRA vs Modded 08C14.....

    Aside from the tuning part, I think I speak for everyone here in echoing DonRed's statement: WW -- DUDE! We *really* don't want to see your name over in the Fallen Riders forum. Just something to keep in mind.

    Tragic, non FJR accident

    Fuel Gauge / Mileage on Reserve

    Old tuner trick: take vehicle that runs on sub 90 octane gas (adjust for altitude of course). Add premium fuel. Add timing until it pings, then back off a couple degrees. Free power. Knock sensor inputs that can be remapped are great -- you can tune the vehicle for middle of the road temps, and...

    Haven't been excited by a bike in a while

    The Guzzi is an air cooled V-twin, needs premium gas, and makes half the power the FJR does (or so, according to RiderMagazine). Oh, and its 540# dry. And it's more $$$ than the FJR. Someone mentioned a used 06 FJR in your other thread. :) The Triumph was on my short list, but I really like...
