I'll try this again at home. My business computer didn't seem to cooperate.

Here are my two stablemates together. I'm truly a Yamaha man at heart! [https://s54.photobucket.com/user/tchlarson/media/Bikes1114_zps152fa6d8.jpg.html]

Well I did it. Tonight in my garage there's a really clean 2008 FJRAE nested next to my Super Tenere. I bought the bike that used to belong to Silverbullet. All kidding aside, the bike looks new. Hard to believe it's been riden 38,000 miles. I'm excited to be an FJR rider again & look...

Thanks Guys! I'm still hunting for an AE. I've bid on a couple on eBay but no joy. I'm trying to find a low-mileage machine for under $7,000. I figure before spring I'll get the job done.

I loved my 2005 FJR but I needed to generate cash to finish a nasty divorce. I sold it the fall of 2011. I bought in new & logged over 36,000 wonderful miles on it. I won't bore you all with the trivial details but here I am thinking of buying another FJR. I have a 2012 Super Tenere & really...

Congratulations! Here's my bike on Vancouver Island last June! Beautiful place to ride! You're gonna love it!

Oops pix too small!

I got my notice today! I will probably have Sunnyside fix it. Hi James1300! B)

You are about to get dog-piled by the FJR masses that will tell you that an FJR as a first bike is a dumb idea & you will die for sure! They will be partly right! :dribble: Like all things, your self discipline & judgment will be the biggest factors in determining how well you get along...

You've done a really nice job of neatly tucking all the gizmo's on your handlebars! I don't get it though? I like riding my motorcycles to get away from all the electronic squawk boxes I have to content with on a daily basis in my pickup! No cell phone, radar detector, gps, mp3 player for me...

Put me on the pilot list. CFI in about every thing fixed wing including sailplanes since 1975 (I was 18 then..really!). I have owned a slug of planes mostly because I had an FBO operation in the early 90's. I lost a lot of money! I haven't flown as a pilot for about six years now. The major...

I too am amazed at the popularity of this thread! My wife said that it's gone form a thread to a full-blown sweater! :yahoo: Hey Matt, sorry about using all the bandwith! :blink:

WOW!!! It wasn't my intent to start a negative "Harley bashing" thread! I was merely pointing out what a moron the salesman was. One of the best thoughts posted was "if the prospective buyer was relying on a salesman to decide which bike to buy he'll get what he deserves". I happen to be a...

Yes, my bikes are in a heated garage with covers on while our expensive cages sit outside in the elements! A person has to get their priorities straight! The primary reason I cover my bikes is due to dust. I live in the desert part of Washington & still have Mt. St Helen's ash to contend...

I overheard something today that was unbelievable. I had my FJR parked in front of a motorcycle dealership that sells both Harley-Davidson & Yamaha. My wife, buddy, & I after riding in 100 degree heat most of the day decided this would be a great place to sip some fluids & enjoy the air...

I wouldn't do it. I have ridden my FJR on a lot of gravel in the last two years that I have owned it. It handles just fine on gravel but it's a bit out of it's element. I worry about hitting the bottom of the fairing though. I have already hit mine a few times on speed bumbs & other places...

Geez...where have I been? Are the '06's out already? :huh:

Hey Dave nice pix! I'm glad to see you've joined the ranks of happy FJR owners! We've met before. I also own a Valkyrie & we rode togther when you Colorado guys visited us Vermin here in Washington! I believe you were on a Goldwing! I go by TC or Darth Tater in the Vermin club. If I recall...

Since I'm lucky enough to have a 03 FZ1 & an 05 FJR I offer the following opinion. The FJR is the perfect long distant bike. I say this after riding mine for close to 1,000 miles on a three day business trip. Last night for example, I rode from Vancouver Island, BC to central Wahington state...

I mounted a thermometer like the aerostitch #2240 on the fairing of my FJR. I have one on each of my bikes. They are accurate & cheap. Since I'm involved in farming, we use them all the time to get soil temp, pulp temps, etc. I get them at farm supply places for about $8.00. I find it...
