    Warranty Expiration

    My warranty on my 06A is about to expire. The dealer has sent an offer for 4 year coverage for $786. I checked the bin-o-facts and saw that D&H offer same warranty for $389. I recall this offer does not extend to FL residents. Is this correct? Any words of wisdom?? Should I pass on the...

    BBG to Jacksonville

    I-49 between Shreveport and Baton Rouge - there is nothing. 1 rest stop and a few billboards. LE's bad 60-100 miles North of Baton Rouge. I forget the county, but they Wolf Pak it there. Hide good too. Don't ask. Good luck. Be safe.

    My Geico insurance on my 06A dropped from $445 to $263/yr (Jax, FL). Wife said it was a renewal discount. I dunno. But I'll take it.

    FAA Academy in OKC

    Please don't mistake me for one of those primadonnas. Us maintainers of the National Airspace System don't care for them much either. I agree, galaxy over cobalt any day...

    Militaries, civilian MWR lodging?

    Keep in mind that DOD Installations require ATGATT. Brights in daylight/ Reflective at night. Some gates are strict on this, others not so much...BTW-White Sands Inn on Eglin AFB is sweet (Ft Walton Beach, FL).

    Battery Tender pigtail in dash

    My B/T harness is routed around the outside of battery and comes down and out between tank and frame. Only the last few inches of cable are visible. Sorry for the lack of pics. My bike is in FL and I'm in snowy OKC now.

    The "New" King of Slide

    I've done it. Finally got my rear tire squirrel-ly under hard braking in a corner. World SBK style. As dangerous as it sounds, it was mucho fun. Highly reccommended. At your own risk, of course.

    FJR Tank Sticker

    Parked mine in the sun for about two hours and then it peeled off like there was no glue on it at all. Only left an outline of residue. But let me know if you can find the sun - I haven't seen it for a while.

    Road Kill

    A Gold Wing pilot was killed this past week on the freeway here trying to avoid a deer that was previously struck and laying in the road at 5am. He was NOT wearing a bash hat and I'm sure that was key to his survival. But my question is (from the experienced) what is the largest obstacle you...

    Removing plastic

    I found out the hard way that those fasteners on the inner fairing panels with the center pin and grommet (not phillips head-the smooth ones) are removed by punching IN the center pin and then removing the grommet (?). Punching IN the pin allows the fingers to collapse, allowing the fastener to...

    Mystery Wire

    On the above pic, does anyone know what the wire next to the rt headlight adjuster cable connects to? It's the wire with the white tie strap / clip. I took that panel off to route FJRandy's horn harness to the l/h horn. When I went to install the panel, I saw it just hanging there next to the...

    MB Horns Quit

    I have not yet received the replacement fuse holder. I don't beleive that the horns failed-there is no power present at horns when switch is depressed. I'll try and post pics, but my install just about mirrors the one you (FJRandy) did recently on the AE.

    The end of an era

    The F-35 Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter or JSF) is being manufactured as a Navy (carrier version) / AF (std) / Marine (vert. take-off - landing) fighter replacement for F-16 falcon, AV-8 Harrier, etc. Not trying to be Mr. Correction but I just work in the business.
