    Front fork rebuild

    I just got back from raging around NorCal and noticed my left side weeping. Diving pretty hard under braking too. So, off to KFG Motorsports for rebuilding. They were $475 for the work with new springs. I thought that was reasonable.

    Seattle, WA Good to Go Pass - free for bikes

    Bottom of the windshield is the place. Most of the folks I see have them there. The readers have trouble with headlight placement. One of the nice ladies at GTG told me she recommends putting the transponder on the helmet. Umm, no. I'm a daily rider on the 405 corridor and I was still...

    Steering head tool

    If you don't hook up with Neihart, let me know. I've got one and I work downtown too.

    Why?

    Don't forget the sandy vag Iggy. I got some of that too. Better to ***** a little here and have a little fun with it than make some poor under paid guy behind the counter suffer for his management. I'm trying to support the local dealers, but that needs to come back in customer service and...

    Why?

    Why are the Yamaha parts desks around here such fucktards? One has absolutely no issue with charging you $13 for an oil filter, or $30 for an air filter, or $75 for a set of brake pads; and another can't seem to order parts when you ask. Another ******* at you about his parts department...

    I bought an FJR - what to do now?

    I assume that was you going to work this morning on Lake City Way. All I caught was a silver FJR with a bunch of LEDs on the bags. Enjoy your ride!

    I-405 GoodtoGo pass

    I work downtown by the stadiums and 405 is my route home to Bothell most days when on the FJR. I don't really care what they do as long as they keep it free for bikes per the federal mandate. When I cage to work I avoid 405 at all costs. AFAIC, the State has their hand too deep in my pocket...

    I-405 GoodtoGo pass

    More ranting on WSDOT: I hit the HOT lanes once last month and duly got another bill for $2.75. 45 minutes on hold, 15 minutes with an amazingly unhelpful customer service agent, plus 1-1/2 hours waiting in the Bellevue GtG office to find out that my properly installed transponder is indeed...

    I-405 GoodtoGo pass

    Got another bill today. Tomorrow I'll spend another 45 minutes or so on hold trying to get it fixed. Thank you WSDOT.

    FJRF011: Fast Starter Syndrome

    Here's one more for the files. Rolled out of the garage a couple of weeks ago for the commute into the Emerald City and the mighty feej died at idle. Hmmmmmm, started her back up and headed out, died at the first intersection. I diligently read my FJRFORUM so it's pretty clear that my 7-1/2 year...

    I-405 GoodtoGo pass

    This is getting off to a great start. I got the free transponder w/o the GtG account and they still sent me a bill. I've got an inside contact and apparently the transponder electronics aren't talking to the cameras. There's a double billing but and the transponder was likely read and...

    Good Seein' You Marcus

    You're kind of hard to miss with the headlight modulator and the side stripes. I was headed into work - no play for me. Glad you guys had fun. I'll get my Hwy 20 fix petty soon. Glad you only soiled the seat and didn't scratch the plastic. Nothing a hose can't fix.

    Worst F*cking Invention Ever!

    WTF? Testosterone challenged today? I find nothing at all perverted about ogling ****, or ***, or anything else that makes my day.

    Year 'Round Commuters

    I walk out the door every morning and look up. If I get rain in my face I take the cage. Then I look down, if there's snow and/or ice, I take the cage. Otherwise it's the default: FJR.

    Is this really what the Canadians think of us Southern neighbors?

    To say nothing of the futility that is the Maple Leafs.

    New Shoes

    NEPRT? You're kidding me. I asked a question for the folks where I ride and it was very specific, PR 2 or PR 3. The weather tends to be a bit wet at times and I'm wondering what those folks who live and ride the wet side of the PNW would prefer. This ain't a general question of what tire I...

    New Shoes

    Time to start thinking about a new set of treads. I've been running Z8's and I have been extremely happy with their longevity and performance. But, the last two sets have needed about 8 pounds of lead on the back to balance and the fronts tend to give me some head shake. Especially the last...
