    MB Horns Quit

    I have an 06A fitted with MB horns and FJRandy's harness. Yesterday, it sat in a heavy rainstorm, then I rode home through more heavy rain. Today I noticed the horns quit. Pulled the battery cover off and found all connections secure and noticed that the relay clicks when horn button is...

    Pick your fav's

    Numero uno. All great shots. #1 gets my vote due to unique-ness. I'm with Bounce and co. on the idea of the enlargement of other pics..

    How about a saftey tip from each member?

    Speaking of practice.....While riding on desolate roads, find a spot in the road (tar patch, smashed can, asphalt patch, etc.) and practice avoidance swerves. When the time comes, you'll know how far to lean and stay within your lane and on the road. And that time WILL come when you will need...

    Fairing Vents

    Did that. Even swapped with which side was open vs. closed. I think what happens is that with the vents out, it creates a bigger hole in the wind, reducing airflow around the rider, allowing engine heat to saturate. It is defintely cooler with deflectors closed at freeway speeds. The design...

    Fairing Vents

    Due to what seems like is mass confusion, I wanted to share this. After reading numerous posts, I finally decided to mess with my fairing vents. They have been in the closed (in) position since it was purchased. I opened them yesterday and rode 30 miles of freeway in 97' heat. What I found...

    newbie "definition" thread

    It's a pitch thrown to deceive batters by putting a lateral spin on the ball, curving it away from the hitter. Usually thrown at a higher velocity than the curve ball. I can't think of a better definition, maybe TWN can?

    Thanks FEMA

    Being in the FL National Guard, we were deployed to Vero Beach, FL to assist in hurricane relief. We put so much ice, water, MRE's into Lexus', Mercedes', BMW's, Caddy's, etc..when stores across the street were open and stocked full of the stuff. In today's economy, everyone seems to have...

    EOM '06 Make your Reservations Now!

    I also registered this week. Another FL rider. However, I don't have blue hair - just a blue bike.

    Riding to EOM from Fl / South Georgia

    I live in Orange Park - Are rookies welcome at EOM? This is my first FJR (Ex v-twin *****). I have had it since April and have racked up only 2200 miles. Went to SLC, Utah last month on business and rented a R1200RT, rode 500mi in a day through the mountains, and got addicted to the twisties...

    Turn signal cancellation

    I have dealt with the weak dash mounted green blinkie by routinely mashin the cancel button after every turn. Whether I blinked or not, the light will be out. Trained myself to do that AND shoulder check before every lane change. Operating a motorcyle isn't that difficult but the consequences...

    Noo B wants to 1k in 1

    I've had my 06a since April and I wish to attempt 1k in 1 day (IBA SS1000). Is there any of you forum members that can offer me any advice other than what is given on the IBA website? I would like to go as a group (2-5 others) and I would be starting in Jax, FL. I have a couple of friends...

    Dumb Move?

    Today I made a deal on a new Acura TL for my bride. Not trying to gloat, but she is the one that "permitted" me to lay out green for an 06A. Since I have had my new FJR, I hardly ever drive my Silverado SS. So today I made a deal to trade my SS for a TL. I will "inherit" her Pathfinder after...

    New SpeedTV Program

    Did anyone catch the new program on Speed last night...I think it was called Superbikes. What I thought would be a good show ended up doing nothing for the sport of motorcycling. I think that Speed's biking coverage is too far the v-twin side and was hoping that this show would help out on the...
