    Daughter needs a car

    Our kids got their cars from 2 different sources - it was a car that we were done with (Honda Pilot) or in 2 cases my parents were getting rid of vehicles (2000 Pontiac Bonneville, 50,000 miles, and a 2001 Dodge Dakota Pick up 16,000 miles - yes that is right 16,000). All three have been...

    Garmin InReach Mini Experience?

    How I with this wasn't true. I was driving behind a guy on a sport bike. He was riding no handed and sending a text. This would be dangerous enough on a straight piece of road. This fool was on highest flyover on a highway interchange. Merging traffic, curves and everyone slows down at the top...

    Running wires from front to back

    The main line from the battery to the fuze block was an assembly I bought from Eastern Beaver - you need to tell them to reverse the positive and negative leads on their stock harness because of the battery orientation on the FJR. If memory serves you can also order a little extra length. This...

    2019 FJR1300

    My point was that it was odd it didn't match the color scheme (gloss black on several years) - possibly indicating a change.

    2019 FJR1300

    Something odd about the "action" photo of the blue bike on the bottom of the page. The grab bar and back mounting plate are also blue. The last few years these components were painted in a gloss black even on the matte 2018.

    Would you take on the project?

    No doors have been chosen. I have plenty of other things that require time and money.

    SFO 2018 Home Safe

    I am home safe and sound. Some ****** in shreveport made a pretty good attempt to make me part of the center median. I was able to get away safely. It was a great opportunity to put my extensive sign language skillz to use. Thank you to our wonderful hosts they did it right as always. Joe

    Would you take on the project?

    I went to take a look. The price is $1000.00 the bags and all of the plastics looked to be in great shape - I would say excellent but it needs a bath to make that call. I got to look at the right side of the bike - All of the pictures were from the left. The Cam Chain cover is off. I lifted the...

    Would you take on the project?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have the day off I am going to have a look. They are asking $1000.00 for the bike - they say that it is a no haggle price. It is sitting at a dealership, there is no emotionally attached owner. That is a warning sign though. It is sitting at a dealership with...

    Would you take on the project?

    Let say hypothetically that you found an FJR in a storage state. It has a clean title so we know the year, VIN . The current holder clearly states he doesn't know whats wrong with it, it has been sitting in that state for a couple of years and it is sold as is. I have seen pictures and there...

    Ram Mount-Stable?

    After you guys solve this can you tell me how to fold a fitted sheet? :)

    Ram Mount-Stable?

    I used to use a Ram X-grip - never had the phone leave its nest. That X grip does allow the phone to do a twist motion - I just didn't trust it. I took delivery of a quadlock recently. Set the phone on the receiver and a quarter turn and it is locked into place. It is awesome. You can lock the...

    Too Many Bikes With Too Few Miles

    Could you sharpen your pencil one more time and try to understand the drop in value of an FJR. Looking at Cycle Trader - not the most reliable source but still a source. I see several discounted 2018s and several new on the floor 2017s those 2017s seem to be demanding a higher price. Maybe that...

    Sold - McCruise - do you want a project?

    A couple of weeks ago I was strongly considering selling the bike. I had a McCruise installed on it but it was mis-behaving. It has always been a bit of a challenge getting it dialed in. The '06 and '07 have the funky throttle cam so it makes the cable tension really particular. I decided I...

    Autonomous Motorcycles? Why?

    If I could summon my motorcycle to meet me at the front door then that would be cool. Once I get on I am in control though.
