Welcome back! And Thank You! Tantalus! I is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous! I lived in Hawaii (Wai'anae Coast) for over 20 years, my 2 boys still live there. If you ever see a group of gals riding around on a Saturday, (mixed sport bikes and cruisers), if anyone's wearing a shirt that says...

[quote Now, Surly- what was it you wanted to ask about the rain on your seat?! :lol: Isn't that what sheepskins are for? :D And be glad it's not a Harley, the gas gauge always gets fogged....not that it's readable, anyway... :lol: mary

[quote I am fortunate enough to have a wife that loves the ride, loves the curves and is a natural. Hell she is wanting her own bike now!! ;) :D so what are you guys waiting for..Get her to one of the MSF courses and then have her pick out her own bike! :yahoo: Mary

Very cool project and done very nicely! I think it does look a bit weird, tho, but can't wait to see what the body looks like. I love your driver and co pilot! The floppy ears ones, that is! <G> mary

Ran up to Oklahoma from south of DFW this weekend to see a friend... ok, it was a bit warm. About 106 going up Sat, and about 104 Sunday... But thanks to this lovely forum, I had lots of water to drink... :yahoo: Pic shows one side, I had the hose and bite valve in the cooler on the other...

It's always great to hear good news! Sending some prayers and positive energy your way! Mary

I hate it too... rode pillon on my b.f's GW (1994 1500). Just went to dinner and back. I told him to get new glasses. He missed the turn. <G> I flipped up my helmet visor and I got a face full of gas fumes. He never noticed the smell. So he Finally! got new carbs, the bike has about 220...

Jump on it! Before she can change her mind! good luck and have fun! mary

"we are working on making a rational decision instead of an emotional decision" Oh poo! what fun is that? Just make sure your wife really likes the bike SHE buys or it will just sit there. so...dont' argue as long as you see that it more or less fits her... :rolleyes: Mary

Well yeah, but that's only cause I cut the foam in the seat down to 1/2 " thick the day before my ride from Ohio to Sacramento and back. I did have a sheepie for it tho. Won't ride ( or drive) without one now.... especially in the heat. At least get a sheepie...Alaskan leather has nice thick...

wellllll doh! even tho I don't have an FJR anymore, this is a pretty cool forum. This one and my Harley buddies... Hawgryder's... nuther bunch of cool folks. or crazy. or as Bob says... "It was more fun when it was just us scum." <G> Mary

Guess I'll just keep reading and not post too much here. :P mary

had the flat backing piece on the cable loosen up... was on the car plug, just ordered a new cord. Going over bumps it would flick on and off.... Still works fine, except with the latest upgrade, when I donwloaded a new route, it wiped out all my old ones. Not that I need them, but that ain't...

maybe you're just lokking in the wrong places..<G> what age you looking for? <LOL> I'm pbly too old, but I know a lot of nice wimmins that ride.... :D mary

My post was not to cut down ladies.. since I is one<G> But generally we're taught to "be careful" and "look where you're going"..which in normal daily life, means to look sorta at the ground to see what's there. So many ladies I've talked to in different forums and in person, said they...

wow... if you're giving your g.f. a BMW R1200RT, I'll volunteer... :dribble: oh crap... you mean the VIDEO! Oh well! Have fun! Mary

Glad you got it figured out. Otherwise, the stock answer is buy it from me first, then you can ride it. and you said that he only rides 3 or 4 times a year... if he HAS to have a bike, a nice slow Harley rental would work , (yeah, I have a harley) Sound like a cage would work way better and...

I'd be willing to bet that it's a lady, and that she's looking down to see where to put her feet. And to see where the bike is when it's stopped. Guys generally have a "charge ahead" attitude, but ladies have gotten used to picking up the kid's toys and the dirty socks. And tripping and...
