    My morning ride to work on my FJR

    wyosteve, thanks. But the instruments on the video bike look like FJR's don't they? All that guy needed to get to his 72 Virgins in the Sky was for some cager to move just a little into his path while he was lane splitting.Or open a door. There's a time and place for spirited riding, but the...

    My morning ride to work on my FJR

    In the early 80's the bikes that competed for power & sport touring ability were the Suzuki 1100E and the Yammy FJ1(I think that's what they called it). The Suzy had GREAT mid-range power & was designed to not wheely easily. The Yammy had huge power but only in the high RPM range.It wheelied...

    My morning ride to work on my FJR

    are those wheelies he's doin? Is the FJR THAT easy to stick in the air??? Seem a feller'd have to be mighty carefull of that while hammering curves.Haven't ridden one,yet.

    My Thoughts On The '06

    rdfrantz, The too high rev thing BMW told it's customer sounds familiar. When new, the rear brake peddle on my RT went vertical (went down way to far). My dealer couldn't or wouldn't fix it,claiming there was something wrong with my (German ancestry) anatomy. I found another dealer with a...

    My Thoughts On The '06

    interesting, rdfranz. What are the maintenence intervals on that beemer? I had an RT(once) and valve adustments were every 4000 mi, if I remember correctly. Not a cheap experience either. Maybe my RT was a lemmon, but I'd freguently need a part while on a long trip and they'd say,"we'll have it...

    PDP

    yambone, yeah, I got an 06' 'A' the dealer ordered himself. Hope to get it sooner that way. I paid 12,249,plus he'll swap Avons for stock tires free,replace the windscreen with whatever I want ,free and 1st service is free. Got sliders at cost,he'll install at a discount. Seems decent to me. I...

    My Thoughts On The '06

    Thanks,twowheelnut.When you say the mirrors are "****", what's that mean? I ordered a 06'. Am coming of Honda STs and am hoping the FJR's mirrors show something other than my hands,as the ST's do. Also, I've been wondering if that 1/2 inch adjustability on the bars is enough. I guess not. As to...

    PDP

    Thanks fellers. Frankly, I don't like this PDP setup at all. Only reason I put up with it is there seems to be no viable alternative to the FJR. From all indications it is the best sport-tourer out there.And I need a new bike.Sooooo, I order, I wait. Captain Obvious, your "loud valves save...

    PDP

    Fly Fishing In The Sierra

    yeah thug, I hunted birds all my life.Shot so much my ear doc said quit or go stone deaf. Never liked killing anything but LOVED bird huntin. This mountain trout fishing's a pretty swell substitute.Gorgeous, solitude galore and you give the game a pat and throw it back in. Gotta love it!

    I Just Spoke To My Dealer Regarding The 2006.

    Anybody know if that damn PDP buying mess is still in effect? I've been waiting for THIS bike. Seems VASTLY superior to any sport-tourer on the road.Think I'll finally get a FJR.
