    Gen1 Down Shifting Trouble

    I just had the same or similar issue with my 05. It has been in the garage for a while, with only a couple of short rides in the last year. I changed the oil this afternoon and took it around the block. I live in a semi rural area so the block is nearly a mile. Second time I needed to down shift...

    Camping in Possum Kingdom Lake, TX

    There is a state park on the west side of PK. Haven't camped there but have checked it out and it is fair nice as State parks go. Probably mostly empty this time of year. Some other camping on the east side but more crowded and mostly locals with boats. Alternative would be Lake Mineral Wells...

    Passing on double yellow

    Am I the only one having a problem with that site in Firefox? It seriously F's with my browsing experience in Firefox, but works just fine in IE.

    See this one yet???

    Link doesn't work in Firefox. I had to use IE. And while I hope the rider wasn't hurt, that was really dumb. Dumber still is that there was nearly two off the inside of the curve. As for the "their gonna beat our *****" comment, Odot will be by as soon as he gets his Harly running again to...

    Um.....nurse?

    I thought ODOT was an alias for Not Work Safe. Now I guess we will have to come up with the proper meaning of ODOT. Perhaps Often Drunk Or Tastless? I'll have to think about this, I'm sure I can do better. Suggestions? FJRChik, you got any ideas here? edit: Often Drunk Observing Toilets...

    I hope you don't like doves

    A few years back my daughters had a calico mama cat with a kinky tail that was the terror of the birds on our property. I once saw a mocking bird dive bomb her in the front yard one time and a few minutes later the cat had that bird, but that wasn't enough for her. She went up the tree and by...

    11th time's the charm

    Wonder how she felt when he then told her, "Great, now turn around and lets get started."

    Home at last

    ain't it great to be back home. Keep the good news coming. Prayers with you both as always. Matching '07s gets my vote too.

    06 FJR LD Test Ride

    That height sounded way off to me, so I checked. The highest point in Arkansas is Mt Magazine @ 2753 ft. That Magellan is WAY off, but then it isn't intended for an aircraft and altitude error won't cause you to have a bad day.

    To Kill A Mockingbird

    Since you're not in Texas, use a 20 gauge with 8 1/2 shot. Laugh maniacally afterwards. That'll work. Of course since guns are out you'll have to throw the shot. Mocking birds are a pain in the ***. FWIW he will quit in a couple of weeks. OR, you could get an air rifle. Since you're not...

    Moto Slider Install Question

    Looking at the Motovation website, they have a link to a installation page. There they instruct that the left side be installed and torqued first, then the right side. That is, I am sure, correct. Still wish I could find the thread which discussed the reason for one side first. I like to be...

    Moto Slider Install Question

    I did a search for a post I read a (long) while back but nothing came up. I recall that there was a preferred order (left to right or right to left) when installing the motovation sliders but not sure which order. Something about how the engine sets in the frame and how it is properly seated...

    New Owners change your oil

    +1 Thanks for saving me the typing :P Still, I love the oil threads and occasionally start one of my own. Remember my obsession over fork oil? Which BTW panned out really well for me. Love the new suspension. Oops off topic :huh:

    The Co-worker

    To which the The Human Resources supervisor replies, "So, get a razor and some tuna fish after shave" I'm going to hell for this, aren't I.
