Amen to that. Glad to hear Skoot will be ok. Also happy to hear that he was so well looked after - kudos to all who helped!

Big fun! The best though was the briefcase - that is one unique leather treatment he just did! :D

Hey Randy - is this for your ticker problem? What dealer are you going to? Have you dealt with them before, or are you taking a chance? ;)

Shrinath, congratulations!! And +1 on the great negotiating skills!! But, I was really trying to take it easy during that ride...my wife never complained. :P

Isn't the Quest 1 a big step down, at $450 vs $750 retail? I've been very happy with my 2610 that I got reconditioned on Ebay for $450. Love the configurability and the ability to upload and download from Mapsource. Some minor problems with reception in trees, but no 1000 mile trips to...

Update 2 - The noise did return, again only on the SOFT shock setting. After some procrastination, I finally took it in to one of my local dealers. Having the comfort of the YES warranty, I wasn't too concerned. I dropped the bike off with a salesman late-ish one evening before closing, with...

Weird, Sradek's reply wasn't there when I posted...anyway good news! Hope the bike is still available. Would be cool to have another FJR owner in the "neighborhood". ;)

And what's the verdict? Is Sradek sold on the FJR now? If not, what's his problem? :lol:

Shrinath, You didn't have any problem when sitting on my bike, right? You and I both have 32" inseams and I know I can flat foot it ok. With the adjustable seat on the '06, you should be Golden. ;) Randy, mighty nice of you, as always. We should hook up for a ride one of these days -...

****! Bad Timing! My FJR is in the shop getting that noisy shock fixed - only needed lube so I'm told. My daughter also has all day softball tournament. :angry:

Rad - thanks for the pic. Scooter - yeah, if you can please post or send me a couple of pics. I would like to see the condition and also the finish. Seems there are a bunch of new ones on the D & D website now... https://www.exoticsportbike.com/d_and_d_muffler_styles.htm

Scooter, I'm kinda looking too. Although after buying 2 cars in the last 2 months, there ain't squat in the bank account! Aw well, its only money... Are the D & D's Carbon or Aluminum? Any pics?? Thanks in advance.

Mogan, Great thread! Sounds like an awesome trip - good luck and keep the rubber side down. ;) "Hi, my name is Mogan, and I am a Farkler-holic..." :D

And since the tiller only has one end, you save money as you only need one Grip Puppy! :P

Great news about Andy!! Nothing better than when the rehab work produces tangible results!!

$1000 is retail. Anyone with just a little motivation and a little more intelligence can find them for much less. I paid just over $400 for mine when retail was either $699 or $799. The swivel mount, well, no comment. Once you get used to a GPS, there ain't no going back. It saved me from...

Chanster, I did some preliminary testing in Mapsource, and if you use enough via's correctly placed, you can get the same A --> B route in the reverse direction. Haven't had time to test it in the GPS yet. I did hear from the experts on the GPS Passion forum that simply sending the...

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing. I think the next family vacation is out Yosemite way...

Shrinath, Again, my pleasure to help bring another into the fold. B) I think you will enjoy this bike as much as the rest of us. Its equally at home playing in the twisties, or piling up miles on a tour. Add in the incredibly widespread choice and availability of Farkles, and you've...

trmn8er, Good post, and an interesting read. Alway fun to read alternative viewpoints and experiences. My last bike was a 750 Ninja 13 years ago, so those memories are very fuzzy. The new ones on the FJR are just fine though!
