    Wanted Picture WFO-5 IBA Presentation

    Not exactly what I was looking for. Didn't anyone get a picture of the whole group facing the audience? Or me in the group? Lots of bulbs going off. TWN, I admit the picture is not flattering. In the year since I got the shirt I lost and have kept off about 25 pounds to a under 200 lb weight...

    No riding today.

    Interesting! How high is your altitude? Did you get any of the Moonsoon Pineapple Express that was setting record floods in WA? I get some snow occasionally here, and have had up to 2 feet on the ground at one time. Have a nice winter. TJ

    Turned 100k

    First Off, Anyone whom knows TurboDave, would know he meant what he said on the loan of a MC. My wifes Honda fine one day, the next it sounded like it lost the timing chain. Nope, it no longer had enough compression to start. That baffled me. Sorry about your motor, now that you know the...

    How top heavy is the FJR?

    I also was a returning rider. I didn't know what I wanted. I got an SV 650 model 2002 in Oct. 2004 the dealer wanted to dump before winter. I got my skills back. In Dec. I decided on the FJR and PDD. I kept it eight months as it was fun to ride and FJR was months away. BTW I also am 32 inseam...

    Lost My Riding Partner

    You can't be tense and ride safely. I have read about a number of Miata accidents from driving off mountains, to endo rolling. They have a pretty good account of walking away. TJ

    New family member

    Our first dog was a Malamute Lab cross. Then we raised Huskies & Malamutes. We stopped raising them, but still had a number of dogs. One day a mutt comes down the road. There were other places but he made it known he wanted to live here. I did the Red Skeleton 'Clyde Kadiddlehopper' act as...

    FJR1300A as a first bike

    As a returning rider, I wanted something mid size to get my skills back. I had a Yamaha XS1100 before but wanted to start on something easier. I bought a SV650. Two months later I decided I wanted the FJR. I had the SV for just under a year. I did get my skills back. David Houg, Proficient...

    Frustrated with Yamaha, considering BMW

    I previously had a Yamaha XS1100. I purchased all the test written on several MC's from Motorcycle Consumer News. I PD on the FJR without having ridden it. TJ :yahoo: BS Deposit goes against purchase price.

    I know you had a blast. :yahoo: I am curious what tires you used for a Track Day, and how many miles you had on them? Is Scooters next mod a 21 inch front wheel on his FJR for Dirt Bike School? :P Seriously Lee Parks class is a +
