Wow... sure glad you guys are ok.... sounds just a bit too exciting.... anyway.... Ill leave the insurance stuff to the guys here, they do seem to have pretty good knowledge... As far as gear... even tho I dont' have an FJR anymore, just one of those unmentionable HD's, mesh gear is great for...

You live in a great place, although I did find that it does rain there sometimes...<G> anyway, in addition to what the other guys said, if you want some practice runs.... from Kirkland south to I-90 to say Deer Lodge, Montana or thereabouts and back would give you the 1000 mile test to...

If you like Zippy's, check out the lunchwagons parked at different places around the island... especially where there's construction. Never ate at a bad lunchwagon, there's even some parked at different places downtown for the office workers. They're not the same thing as the manapua wagons...

riding in the rain can be scary.... most cagers haven't a clue. things I've learned about riding in the rain and cold. riding in the warm raid is usually quite nice. I wear a SILK scarf over my month and nose. keeps the fogging down, also is warmer. Only pure silk. Although if you're riding...

https://www.wingtourshawaii.com/ I think I met him on one of our HOG Sunday rides. Nice guy. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g6098...ahu_Hawaii.html Oh yeah.... when I left in 2006 the traffic was bad. My friends say it's now a lot worse. Morning rush hour is about 6 am to 9:30-10 am...

If you're in love, just buy the dang thing. any problems you run across will have at least 100 or so fixes here...<G> the longer you think, the less time you have to ride! Take care and ride safe. the FJR can be a beast.... but such a lovely beast! :yahoo: mary

"Here is something for you to think about. If you get up early, and get on the road before 6, then put on 100-200 miles before breakfast, then put on another 300-400 before dinner, then ride till the sun comes down, you can put on close to 1,000 miles a day without riding in the dark, and...

You could check out "New enough" they sell new stuff at reasonable prices... but who am I to talk?... I wore my Fox Creek black leather cruiser jacket on my FJR... they also make ladies sport style jackets, I have a bright blue/silver mesh jacket for the hot Texas days...goes nicely with my red...

Or he could just sell Frank to me...really cheap! I could use a good "man"! :P mary

Yeah...get a radar detector! <G> My 05 was a bit warm when I rode it across the mohave..but it was 115F out. It's not a true sportsbike... it can carry luggage, and your not bent over the tank....but who cares...! <BFAG> mary Ps.., I'd love a Sprint, the FJR is a bit big for me...

does she need a ride home? I'm in Ft Worth, not very far. mary 817 400 0920

Not all of us.... 32" seat height is still too high for us peeps with short legs. It IS nice to be able to put both feet on the ground, especially at stop lights when it's windy. or the road is slick. or some other variable. <G> RIDING a tall bike is not the problem. It's the getting...

when I had my 05, I had the Kouba links, and a 1" shorter rear shock, and the front forks adjusted as well. Never did bother me at all riding. Had the side stand rebent so the bike would actually lean over when it was on the stand, but took the centerstand off. I never could get any bike on a...

Dang! Now that I've sold all my bikes with center stands, someone actually comes up with a great idea! Thanks! mary

After reading all of this post (not in one sitting!) it seems to me that a CT has a profile a lot like one of these on the 650 Special. I had two, a new 77 or 78...first photo and a few years later, a used one (another 1978). What I do remember is that the rear tire was almost square...

Is Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Patient: Tyler Risk c/o TICU 751 S. Bascom Avenue San Jose, CA 95128 still a good address? I never had a chance to send anything yet... something about the shocks and then the radiator on my Jeep needing replaced... :angry2: I guess I can still mail...

Just my .00002 worth. Oh, there's been a bunch of threads about towing here... you can try a search. If the bike is ok to be outside, then I don't know why you'd need to drain any fluids. Leave the cover off, all that will do is blow around and scratch the paint. If you really worried about...
