    Sunday Jan 12th foothill ride

    Wow. You old geezers are still tearing up foothill roads on a cold winter day! But how'd we all get to looking so old? We were all spry when we got our FJRs - 14 to 16 years ago!

    So, where is everybody going to be hanging out after 9/27?

    Looks like we have less than 5 weeks until this forum disappears. See: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/173124-wanted-forum-administrator/?p=1421222 Any new fora planned? What happens with the technical resources here? Anybody else planning a migration? Any further thoughts?

    Did I ever talk about how slow these bikes are?

    Well, if you bought an FJR to outrun a ZX-14 or a Busa or 160 hp liter bikes, then WTF were you thinking? Next thing we know, you're going to be bitching about how badly the FJR performs on a trials course. The sliver lining? hehehe IT'S FRIDAY! And we longer term forumites recall when a...

    Any STARCOM users still among us? Spares question.

    How do you replace parts and keep the system functioning? I loved how the Starcom worked (esp after after a brief dose of bluetooth hell with SENA's POS replacement). One problem drove me away from the Starcom: the regular failures of the wired headsets and inability to fix them. I have 3...

    Boots, Cycleport Kevlar suit, RPHA helmet, etc.

    Nope. Selling house and moving should allow me to ride more. SInce I bought this place in June 2012, it seems all I have done is fix, maintain, remodel, ad nauseum -- to the point that I hardly ride anymore, or play golf or do fun ****. Being here alone 24/7/365, with way too much for one person...

    Boots, Cycleport Kevlar suit, RPHA helmet, etc.

    Time to thin out the garage and closet! I cannot post photos but will send via e-mail or text. Will ship to lower 48 states only: 1) Two (2) working STARCOM ADVANCE units, plus multiple cabling, headsets and other Starcom accessories/wiring. (A couple or three of the many headsets may not...

    Wheaton and airboss do Kalifornia (did we really do this?)

    What a great time and enjoyable RR to revisit! Eight years ago! Dang, the time flies by as age takes its toll. But I should complain, with news of Karl being ill and Mark having crashed - wishing them both full and speedy recoveries. I really miss Mark on this forum, because I never seem to get...

    Airboss having health issues

    I'll always remember Karl from that 2011 Cluster Feck. Get well soon, Karl - far better to fall off a bike than to take a beating stuck in bed.

    Dumb Assery Rev2, dCarver style

    Perfect, Don! After all these years, I have finally heard a good reason for "laying her down." No - not dumb-assery: but avoiding a wreck at 143.

    Garmin 2730

    I have a 2720 in excellent condition that I need to get out of here. For the cost of shipping?

    Help Us Celebrate a Life Well Lived! Doctor Rich 3/23/2019

    I will be remembering Rich today. It was maybe a month more than a dozen years ago that I met him on a Napa Valley ride Highlander organized. Life is surely short. RIP.

    Well, JB was resurrected, he needs a motorcycle FJR, and the central coast took another recommendation.

    This young fella turned 62 yesterday.

    Happy belated birthday Don. Now that you've finally qualified, four words for you: National Parks Senior Pass.
