FL, They probably wanted to charge him extra. After buying the Harley, there probably wasn't much room left on the plastic for the "Help Me Back Up" charge! :haha: :D

Hal, Let me chime in with my congrats as well. As others have said, take a little time to let your skills come back. I'm in the same boat as you, but only a 13 year hiatus in my case. ;) Great pics BTW!

SMC, It might take some time for Powerlet to make an '06 FJR specific kit. However, their generic kits are very similar, with the instructions only slightly different, with pictures and steps specific to the model. If you are experienced and confident in your electronics abilities, and don't...

Fjrchik, Congratulations on the new wheels! Ride safe and have fun with that new toy! ;)

Frank, Wow, a bad week for sure. Here's hoping you land on your feet very soon! Went through the same thing myself 2 years ago. Kudos to your wife for her great attitude!! Sounds like a great partner!!

Beat me to it. Ignatz. ;) I have no intention of mounting mine, so they are up for grabs if anyone needs 'em.

Yup, the very same corner. Man, what a lousy day that was. Road America absolutely gets my vote for best road racing track in the US. Of course as someone else said, no where near the accoutrements that Bernie and Co. seem to need, so we'll never see F1 go there. :( Also said that all...

:brunette: :D :rolf: There's Eye Candy, and then there's Nose Candy... ;)

Scrape, US F1 fans are out there. There aren't huge numbers of us, but we are here. I got hooked on F1 when flipping the channels late one night, and came across the GP of San Marino on ESPN back in '87 or so. After watching for about 2 minutes, Gerhard Berger hit the wall in Tamburello, his...

FJRocha - too many of these threads lately! Very glad to hear you walked away from yours. Here's hoping Pandora gets fixed up quickly and back on her feet real soon! Side note - noticed you have the Joe Rocket Super Ego jacket - I almost got that one myself, but ended up with a cheaper...

Rogue, Yup, that is the gist of it. Just a more polite way of saying something is "F*#$ed Up". ;)

Very sad seeing this news. Let me add my thoughts and prayers for Larry's family in this terrible time. My thoughts also go out to Steve, who unfortunately was closer than the rest of us to this event. Please heed Toecutter's words, and let them give you some peace, as they seem very wise to me.

Stef, Another batch of late good wishes. Somehow missed this thread with all the activity this weekend. Sad to see it here, but glad you were the one writing it. Anyway, let me just second (3rd, 97th?) the wishes for a fast and easy recovery for you and your wife. ATGATT is the way to go...

TWN, No, no. Toe is right - facukled it is, and its my damn word! I give Rogue credit for the alliterative "facukled farkle" though, that's good work! :clap: Ya see, I'm writing my own Thesarus. Its taking a while, I only have about 7 words so far. Radman has his own Thesarus too, but I...

Wow! Didn't expect this much company! :D I did get the YES warranty with this bike, so I think I'll be paying a visit to the local dealer for a look see. I'll update you guys with any info.

DD, Yeah, that's a fine looking seat for sure. When the farkle fund fills up a bit, that's something I need to think aboiut. My creaky old legs start to feel a bit uncomfortable after 45 minutes or so in the saddle of steady droning. I'm thinking a 1/2 to 3/4 inch height increase would help...

I came back from a short 35 mile ride around the neighborhood this afternoon, when I noticed the rear end making a squeaking sound, along with a bit of binding with the up and down movement. Traced the noise to the rear shock, not the swingarm. Weird thing is, this only happens with the shock...

DD, How did you find out about the 25% Sargeant Sale? I just checked their site, and didn't see a mailing list or similar. Thanks in advance.

I was doing this exact same thing today, after noticing my Powerlet connector was facukled :( . The previous owner installed it just over the top of the little bracket tab on top of the fairing brace, located under panel "D", that appears to connect to nothing. It broke off the Negative tab...

+2 No thanks! That thing looks like its been hit with the Uglystick set on Overdrive! :cyclops: :oops: I couldn't bring myself to ride something that looks that bad. I'll stick with my Feejer, thanks.
