and another chapter in this episode is finished. . . I picked up the feejer and paid for the repairs yesterday. Left a 'please call me, my patience is at an end' message for the guy at her insurance company who is handling this claim. He just called back - bottom line he is cutting a check for...

This is particularly sad as it sounds so preventible. . . I just picked up my fjr today from the fjr hospital after my misadventure a couple of weeks ago. I am absolutely convinced the Arai saved my *** - err my head. According to my Dr I have a concussion (still have headaches) but don't even...

ditto on my '08 I cleaned them up and sprayed a touch of krylon clear on them after I put them back - been fine since.

I'm with you right up to the Stones - I draw the line there

Sorry Kiwi but I really don't have any specific ones that would help you. Most of my LD riding is in the northern part of the US & Canada I found the B&B in Thunder Bay where the owner let me put the bike in his garage - but it doesn't help you :( If you get to Connecticut (I'm 1-1/2 hours...

As having gone a similar route just recently, I'm glad to hear he is, for the most part, ok. From my personal experience I can attest to the soothing powers of percoset :) Hope he back in the saddle soon!

I use the allen wrench (that's used to remove the small screw in the fairing) wedged between the, now loose, fairing and the frame.

Now that's funny!

Greetings Kiwi's I have found great places to stay at B&B's (bed & breakfast) in my travels cross country. There are several B&B guides and as I recall I think the AAA Tourguides even list some. If you really know what areas you want to stay in before you start it becomes a lot easier - the...

Ion I have the E52 on the Premier plate. If I can get it out of the FJR hospital by next weekend I can beat feet & meet you halfway somewhere on Sunday. By then i'll be itching to get back on the bike & do some miles. Here is a side shot of the bike with it on

I can't even imagine how you could do it with a mighty vac - where would you stick the siphon hose? down the filler? Am I really missing something here?

Thanks for the in depth review Jeff. I have been in the search mode for a Bluetooth helmet setup for several months now. I have no need for bike to bike communications. I would just like an integrated device that will take 3 inputs - RD, GPS and stereo mp3 - with a priority system. I could...

Great thead (as already noted) - I feel so inadequate, I haven't defarkled anything yet BUT after buying a couple of 'farkles to be' and really looking at them I decided against putting them on. The Kissan signal minder (felt a little queasy gutting the switch assembly with that spring), and...

A Major +1 here From my website https://www.molaver.org/may02mc.htm: We left Northwest Montana and took aim at our next big destination - Beartooth Pass on the Montana / Wyoming border. We weren't sure if the road was open yet but our plan was to enter Yellowstone from the west Yellowstone...

The last time I went to GNP I stayed here: https://www.cheapsleepmotel.com/ in Whitefish, MT - not far from Kalispel & Columbia Falls It was surprisingly inexpensive and VERY nice - the people were great

+1 When I picked up my '08 at D&H I received the same advice about the gas cap & side bags. ie push down slightly so the turning friction is reduced considerably. No problems so far :rolleyes:

My wife was the same - where its the ride for me, its the destination for her. When I rode an 1800 Wing it was not uncommon for her to fall asleep on the back, especially after a long day & on the way home. Compromise is the only answer if you want her engaged with your riding. Pick reasonable...

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone :rolleyes: Here is the update. My daughter drove me to the police dept to pick up the accident report. She got a 'verbal warning' :dribble: The bottom line is it doesn't really matter whether she was arrested or not. She admitted to the cop that she...

So there I am, happily scooting home from work yesterday knowing my new Arai helmet has been delivered and is waiting for me :rolleyes: I stop in traffic for a stop light (after checking my mirrors, no one behind me). I must have been sitting there anticipating my 1st new helmet in 15 years...

dupontrob2000, I live in central Connecticut & one of my sons lives in the DC area. I have made that ride (RT 95) many times. If you want a fast way to get there leave this area at 5 AM - back out your starting time so you hit the GW no later than 6:30. I can easily make it to DC in 5-1/2 hours...
