    Survey Says, "Busa, You Ugly!"

    Aaaannd now I can't un-see that either. The same way I can't look at a Victory Vision without seeing Bozo.

    North American Wild Card Moto-Tag Game

    Maybe the holidays are slowing things down too? I've been itching for a ride but just too many things taking up time right now.

    Surging, Sputtering at 4,000-5,000 RPM

    I doubt it also. Still sticking by what I wrote earlier: In your case you said it came on after a 100 mile ride and the miss was in the low RPM range which to me points to the TPS, especially after what you already checked for. The TPS will wear with every turn of the throttle and if you...

    Food and cooking.

    Paging FredW. (Old inside joke.) I did flavored hamburgers last week on my new PitBoss smoker and they came out FANTASTIC.

    Battery Replacement and Check Engine Light

    I'm going to assume you're not the original owner? I'd have to chase that USB wire as it has to have been an add-on at some point. (Any chance the bike has a Garmin GPS mount?)

    Surging, Sputtering at 4,000-5,000 RPM

    As mentioned above, don't ignore the TPS for your symptoms also.

    13 minute vid says buy FJR instead

    Triumphs are made by old English guys with bad teeth. Ducati dealers don't rush to get you parts because they're Italians sitting back drinking wine. And BMWs are shiny dog turds that burn a lot of oil. I love detailed, objectifiable data. You warned me but I still want my 13:50 of life back.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I'll second that. Hope everyone has a most enjoyable day.

    Food and cooking.

    Well, since you asked . . . a 5 lb and a 4 lb bone-in breasts are currently brining. They'll be rubbed with basic seasonings tomorrow and then in the lil' electric smoker on Thursday. Not sure about which wood to use yet though.

    Sidecase Compatibility Throughout Gen's 1-4?

    If you're shopping around there's also the option of Yamaha's City bags as offered on the FJ-09. Pretty sure they're interchangeable with the FJR.

    Ray Slocomb, FjRay - Now on second honeymoon with Patti

    Just doesn't seem right. He was such a huge yet understated presence here and apparently for all the right reasons. I will miss reading his witty and generous interactions with so many. RIP.

    Blue Angels Homecoming air show

    I've always enjoyed seeing your pics along with the commentary. This round was no different. Thanks for doing it all.

    Brake Job - Need confirmation of these parts

    An old trick is to drop a coin in there while pumping. It'll stop the spray and when you're done and pull it out with a pair of needle-nose you'll have a shiny coin to boot.

    HELP! - Retired, will the FJR1300 fit in the garage?

    Christie Brinkley is young?

    HELP! - Retired, will the FJR1300 fit in the garage?

    Can't help you with measurements at the moment but I found removing the panniers and hanging them on the wall gave me a little more space.  There's also those mcy dollies that allow you to arrange it into some tight space.  Anything to help enable you to add another bike. :)

    Yamaha Saddle Bag Label

    Fairly inexpensive new I think.  Under twenty bucks.  Part # 5JW-W9345-00-00

    Ivan's ECU Flash

    He, like many others, escaped New York and went south.  I believe the one listed as permanently closed was his old shop in Rockland County.
