    06 Speedometer Error

    Got my new 06 bla bla bla. Anyway, it's my first FJR and I can't help from twisting it at every opportunity. I noticed on the freeway today at 4k rpm the speedo was close to 80mph, and I was just keeping pace with traffic. This can't be right. So in order for me to keep my FJR as long as...

    FJR will be here Mon or Tues.

    I'm with ya. Had a vasectomy on Friday 04/14 and my 06A came in on the next Wednesday. What timing. Didn't pick it up until Saturday. Rode with pain and a big smile. Only managed 250 miles this weekend and those sharp pavement changes were a real *****. FJR1300-Great therapy.

    Zigged Instead of Zagged

    Went to pick up my 06A that I made a deposit on in March today. The dealer had an 04 ABS with 411 miles on it for $9699. I went ahead and got the 06. Paid $900 below list. I really had a tough decision. I hope I made the right one. Total difference would have been around $3k. Anyway, had...

    Y.E.S.

    Just picked up my 06A today fron Ron Turner in Jax. He quoted $689 for YES. I said no thanks. Can you buy YES from D&H for a bike registered in FL?

    Riding Through Oklahoma?

    I don't hate cops, I just feel better when they are not around. Not many cops have the nads to ride a machine like that. Probably gets trailered to elemenatry schools......

    I am a soon-to-be new FJR owner and am considering a new Roadcrafter suit. I live in FL were it's hot more often than not and am curious as to how hot this suit is in everday riding. Are there any drawbacks / advantages to this suit vs textile jackets and jeans? Just would like some input...

    Going to Pickup my FJR on Saturday!!!

    Red Barchetta is an awesome go-fast song (along with "Surfin' with the Alien" by Satriani). Neil is a serious cyclist. Traveled around the world on BMW's. I guess he can afford those and has the time to do it. I wish I was as lucky...and talented. The avatar car is a 166MM Barchetta but...

    06FJR deliveries

    Just got the call today. FJR will be here by Wednesday. 1 more FJR owner is being added to the list...I know you all have seen posts like this before but this one is mine!! Ordered 03/17. Waiting sucks. Maybe my vasectomy wounds will be healed by then?

    06FJR deliveries

    Orange- I can't decide if those pics make the wait easier or harder. Thanks for taking the time to post pics. In your opinion, is the 05 worth $1200 more than the 06? I've never owned an FJR before and that's the difference between deals for me. $1200 and a wait....

    Coincidence?

    Got the snip yesterday. Still no bike. I guess PDP has some good aspects. Still wish I had my bike. Wife 1 Me 0 But the Darvocet sure is good.

    Completly off topic

    Maybe you should target single parent / no parent families. That really seems to be the problem with today's youth - lack of parenting.

    FJR #'s

    Me being a soon to be first time FJR owner and now that the 06's seem to be popping up like mushrooms, does anyone know the U.S. sales numbers from year to year? I checked on Micapeak.com but couldn't find any numbers..

    Aircraft Maintenance?

    Civilian F-15 avionics tech for FL Nat'l Guard. Been known to sign off bogus write-ups as removed and replaced control stick actuators. You wouldn't believe how many of those go bad!!
