New River is the highest (I think??) But it's not extraordinary long. I'm not sure how high it is...but I will say it will give you a thrill to cross it---Mackinaw Island Bridge, MI. Very long, only one paved lane (others are metal grid). Usually high winds in that area. Basically a freaking...

I like to give a goodbye wave as I launch past them at warp speeds. Damn, I must be getting old or something. I hardly ever wave at riders anymore. Just the sport touring guys it seems. Old or just krusty?? I just don't pay much attention to the legions of tatooed, look-alike zombies on...

+1 For Friday/Sunday rain.

I'll help out and can bring all the tools needed for one "bay", except the sync tool itself. Mine is huge and I'm afraid it will leak mercury. If someone else can commit to bringing their carbtune, or another one that you feel you can carry without leaking) and either you or another gracious...

Hehe..looks are soooo deceiving. That guy, my best friend, is a VP at a corporation which shall remain unnamed. Normal, yes. Letting off some steam from pent up life in the big city, yes again! Actually, we're both professional, well educated people with very good jobs, beautiful homes...

Columbus, Ohio. Lane avenue to be exact.

My votes are: 1.) Weight reduction in every way. 2.) Keep wind tunnel testing and further smooth airflow 3.) Stiffer springs and higher quality shock damping. 4.) Better tires (read ditch Dunlops!!!) 5.) Redesign fuel tank to carry fuel under tank for less topheavy feel. 6.) A "real" rack...

Amazing how afraid of snakes we all are. Don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy about them either. But it certainly would not detract me from going somewhere with known snake populations. Afterall, they are in every state/province and country around the world and have existed for millions of years...

Brilliant execution! Perhaps the nicest looking front end on an FJR I've seen to date.

I have the Alaska leather cover. Love it. Keeps heat away, absorbs butt moisture, and provides a little better weight distribution. It's not a replacement for a custom seat, but seems to work for me for long rides. FWWI, I would experience butt burn about 250 miles into a day trip on the...

Agreed, don't just hit a buffalo or a moose. I recall his story was he popped the clutch and wheelied (ie hard acceleration) right at the coyote. Perfect execution of such an obstacle, IMO, and that execution came from knowing what threat to "attack" and what threat to brake/swerve. Exactly...

I'm pro gun, however walking into the Sears tower with a piece is just plain stupid!!!!! I mean come on, it's one of the largest office buildings in the world, dominating the skyline of Chicago, a town where guns are restricted. IIRC, in Chicago proper you are not allowed to have anything...

Well, I attended the wake today of a former co-worker, a female about 47 years old who has been riding about 7 years. She was killed by pulling the plug, after an MC accident which left her in a coma w/ little chance for recovery. Damage to the brain stem and a grim diagnosis. What got...

Yes, as there has not been a decent restaurant in this town in the 35 odd years I've been going there! The best place in town was one of those "Western Sizzlin'" before Maggies. Helvetia..yes I've ridden there! On a dirt bike. I believe the closest marked road to my property is called...

Neighbors? What neighbors? :yahoo: If I can hear a motor, gunfire, or pig squeeling sounds from the locals, they are trespassing. It's great to get out of the city and camp there for a few days and get back to nature. I'm heading down there at the end of this month with 3 buddies to...

Sweet! I've been to Buckhannon many a times as my father grew up there. In fact, I dined at Maggies last year (and the food was surprisingly good). If you take rt 20 south of town, then Tallmansville road south at the Middle School intersection, you'll find some especially tight and scenic...

zzzip- You sure about that? :baaasmiley: Here's the yamaholic hotel: And bathroom facilities: The driveway (although it's in better shape nowadays): Beaver Dam Caves: I actually passed out on top of that cliff one drunken night!!! Trail for dirt bike Camp site, complete...

I agree with Reno...22 years and what did Kawi do the original C to improve it? Not much! And yes, 7 years after Yami introduced the FJR they finally respond. Who is the leader and who is the follower here? Mark my words, the C14 will be the exact same bike less BNG (Bold New Graphics) in 5...

No doubt, Jeff. Me thinks chat should be minimal. Safe airspace for cop/road/cleavage alerts, directions, and most importantly, where to find cold beer.

Cans-waste Power C-Try new plugs, TB sync and get back to us Radar...not a bad idea! Personally, I have none of these and won't bother with anything except the radar, but unless you can truly hear/see it, it's worthless. Which begs other mods. If you don't go real far, but like to go fast...
