    2013 Triumph Trophy SE

    It looks like someone has actually gotten some butt time on one of these: 2013 Triumph Trophy 1200 SE - First Ride Review. Ash on Bikes is posting their review this Sunday.

    2013 Triumph Trophy SE

    I think before folks go getting too excited about the Trophy SE, they might want to head over to the Tiger Explorer forum and read up on some of motor-related concerns those owners have. Perhaps some of you early FJR Gen I owners may recognize this sound... Personally, I think Triumph has...

    Spring 2012 Tech Meet

    It was really great seeing you all as well, and you're right - it has been far too long. A couple of years in some cases..! Bryan, you and Marissa host a 1st class event. Thank you again for letting me come up and crash the party! :D

    Forum Member w/ Son Currently in USAF BMT?

    My son, whom is currently at Lackland AFB for USAF Basic Military Training (BMT; 324th TRS / Flt 675, grad date 10/21/11), relayed to me this evening during our weekly call that the father of one of his buddies is apparently the proud owner of an FJR and active on this forum. I thought it'd be...

    NAFO #3 - Rally in the Rockies!

    This is awesome! You Canuckistanians put on an absolute 1st class event (CFR '09 - Best. Rally. Ever.), and Southeastern BC is some of the most glorious riding country in North America. I'll definitely be there..!! (Though perhaps not on an FJR... :whistle: )

    Turd Burgers... WTF?!?

    I misread the thread subject line as "Turd Burglar" Urban Dictionary, #1, and thought, "well this should be a funny story", but to my horror, it was far, far worse. I swear only the Japanese could think of this. Would eating this [****] turn someone into a coprophagic..?? And you certainly...

    Riding Gloves Recommendations?

    Huge +1 on Held gloves. I have a pair of the original tan/black Steve gloves (the new version is the Steve II). Outstanding quality and very, very comfortable. Wash them with mild soapy water and use a good leather conditioner like Lexol once or twice a year and they'll last forever.

    Rear Wheel Timing

    Good advice. +1 for lube... What he forgot to tell you is that this can only be done under the light of the full moon. Now you're completely ****** until July 15th - the next full moon. Well this is where you seriously ****** up. Again, light of the full moon, walk around the bike 4 times...

    Turn Signal Relay Going Bad?

    Update: To satisfy my own curiosity, I used the opportunity of having the tank and tupperware off this weekend for maintenance to go on Spider Patrol. I believe I can safely say that there are no worries there and I can eliminate grounding as a culprit for the running light dimming when the...

    Turn Signal Relay Going Bad?

    High dollar kool-aid... You mean like a Beat My Wiener 1600 Gotta Take a Loan? Yeah... no. I'm holding out for the Gen II Stelvio with the 32 liter tank. Seriously (And in an effort to derail my own thread, Ash on Bikes: MG Stelvio Review) It's being released here Q4 this year.

    HA! We FJR riders are INFAMOUS....

    And more to the point, what "new" tire is being discussed? Hopefully it'll last more than 2 days (you know, at 3k miles/day)... :blink:

    Turn Signal Relay Going Bad?

    Thanks for the feedback, folks! I think the conclusion is that that's the way it is. I think another conclusion that can be drawn is that it's a poor circuit design. Understandable if this were a 20+ year old bike, but one would think that there'd be considerably more isolation on the turn...

    Turn Signal Relay Going Bad?

    I noted during a recent pre-ride power-on running lights and turn signal check that when the left turn signal is selected, the front right running light/turn signal lightly flashes out of sync with the left (and vice versa when the right turn signal is selected). Given that this pre-ride...

    Whaddaya mean, "what century are you guys living in"..? Fred, if they're charging you more, then, well, it's only because you're you. Don't begrudge us for getting a good deal... :P
