Radiohowie nailed it with the Aleve recomendation, in Canada it is Advil, but it will help your back, neck and arms, which have not idea what that kind of daily mileage will feel like without it. Drink lots of water, use that Camelback and stay alert. The idea of starting out on the FJR the way...

VOX if you are riding with your girlfriend, and PTT if you are riding with your wife. :rolleyes:

I love my 04' FJR, and I have farkled the beast to just what I want/need. As far a maintenance goes this is a breeze. Seasonal throttle body sync's, oil changes, filter changes...what else do you have to do? The bike is so low maintenance compared to my earlier rides, it's nothing at all...

Mike is right, there are narrower bags in Europe, assuming for filtering through traffic. If you are thinking larger than life bags perhaps some sort of telescoping item like the BMW bags that slide out when needed but the black inner portion of the bags contain the levered locking mechanism...

As far a reliability goes, you should be fine on any FJR, those older models will have had the bugs rung out of them, pick up an '04 or 5 with abs. great brakes and they perform flawlessly when needed. I'm not a big fan of linked brakes either, so these model years would give great bang for...

Just avoid revving it up when that rice rocket pulls up beside you. She's a beauty. Hope to see you sometime on a regional ride.

Steal that sucker, and quit being a nice guy, you'll know that most of us here are hard *** mother's, offer them 6900 and give 'em 7100. Or get them to throw in a nice BMW jacket...on second thought just offer them 69, it's a good number.

Glad to hear Sylvia's making a snappy recovery, give her our best.

Who me...serious? Just stating the obvious.

YAMAFITTER, think physio man. Those muscles and tendons and joint capsule will need some serious work to make flexing for the Feejer anything but a drag. Give it a good go. Conditioning will have to start before the riding season starts. Hope to see you here. Allow six or seven days from...

So it sounds like quite a party is in the works.....IF you are planning on riding the next day, remember this..Indubitably, alcohol severely affects the body. Aristotle once said, "Drunkenness is one's own inhibition, whether sacred or unsacred, just or unjust." However, regardless of whether it...

I don't find wind noise with the Starcom Digital a problem at all. We both wear Full face Shoei helmets. Stock wind screen in the spring and fall and an '03 shortie for the summer. The music mutes when we speak and then starts up again. The radar detector is wired in as well and only needs to...

This sounds great Barb. We had a jolly good island ride a few years ago in the spring, some good friends from Washington and Oregon joined us. We had a great stay at the Tin Wis in Tofino. Very accomodating at the time with bike wash etc. Nice dining room too. Just my 2 cents. Might be in...

In reality this type of project must take time to plan and adjust the plan, especially when you are showing everyone how it is going...kind of puts the pressure on to do a super job. Maybe he has stepped back and said....'Na ! And is back to the drawing board. Certainly did generate a lot of...

Goo Gone works as well. But what ever you use be careful how hard you rub. Often the tar contains fine and coarse bits of grit, and the rubbing can do a real number on the paint finish underneath. Let your solvent work, lightly rub it off, apply more solvent and repeat. My cowling below the...

Purple slime sprayed on let it sit for 5 minutes and polish it off. I have given up on keeping it super clean, but still get comments on how clean it is. I guess Cerulean Silva is still the best colour!

It is looking good, real good boys and girls. Now, if I were to take the L O N G way, I might get a few more twisties to make the ride a little more interesting. I have crossed the continent a few times and dipping south into the 'merican states might provide a little more excitement than the...

This project was started in MARCH??? Now I understrand we are used to waiting and waiting, but seriously Bounce...this is like waiting for hell to free over. What stage are you at?

While we are all waiting for more pictures and an update on this project, I will throw my .02 cents worth in on the power /mileage discussion. I understand that reducing the weight of the bike's load by 12 lbs. is like adding one hp. I read this a few years ago. So if you lose 40 lbs. it would...

I had a been fly up my shorts riding a bicycle once, now that is something I never want to experience again. I didn't want to wear spandex, so wore loose hiking shorts, the bee went buzzing as high as he could get before giving me the stinger in my stinger. It wasn't pretty!! Stung on the...
