After a nearly 20 year hiatus from riding bikes, I got back into it several years ago on a Honda cruiser. Within 12 months (thanks to the forum friends ;) ) I discovered the FJR. What a difference. Its a whole new world, in many respects. All of the previous posts and advice are...

Last I heard the shipment was stuck in some port controlled by the United Arab Emerates ;) Jay

Jimlor -- MCRIDER007 is correct. Assuming you had all the records, your "cost basis" is the original $1,000, plus all of your reinvested dividends and capital gains over the year. For example, assume $1,000 beginning investment, and assume over the years the total divs and cap gains...

Hated to see Edgar bite the dust - he was a good man! And thought Jack was going to punch the lights out on "goatee man" -- what a jerk! Thinking that Tony will volunteer to go out into the gas -- figure he has nothing left since Michelle is toast. I know -- its pitiful -- I don't watch...

The wait IS maddening!! I also had the 4 month wait for my 05 last year -- and to make matters worse, I figured I'd better put my Honda 750 Shadow up for sale (in December) thinking it might take 3 months to sell. Very next day after the ad appeared someone came and bought it. No ride...

All: Unfortunately I will not be able to make this adventure. Our company was recently "merged" and we have been encountering problems galore. Am meeting with a rep from New York on Saturday (and possible Sunday) at the office to work on various issues. Sad, because the weather looks to...

Recently got one of the Cortech mangnetics -- looks and works great. Have to confess that I have NO experience with anything "strap on"...... :dance: Jay

I'm in Virginia -- would say that 90% of the time I wave, and get a wave, from other bikers. Harleys, Wings, Sport bikes, etc. Its kinda nice. If someone doesn't reciprocate, I figure its they're problem. We're all bikers -- lovin the freedom and the thrill and the wind in our...

I too, like Paladin, am wearing the Revit stuff -- picked up from the local BMW bike location. Expensive, but can use it here (in Virginia) nearly year-round. Great combo gear. Jay

Only 2500 on my 05 and no problems whatsoever (except my expenditures on farkles....). Aim to at least triple that number in 06 :rolleyes: Jay

I just got back from filling up my car at the gas station -- a guy come pulling in on his 05 Ninja - we start chatting, and I tell him I ride a FJR. He replies that he thinks he (and a buddy of his) would probably be interested in one, but that he could never find a dealer that had one on...

Big Brun: You are in quite a dilema. She obviously means well, and you don't want to do anything to irritate her. You're between the pervebial "rock and the hard place" -- if you continute to wear it, she'll surely will buy you more of the same (and she'll be happy). If you don't wear...

nitelife: check www.newenough.com go to "street hard parts", then "luggage", and then "cortech". that where i spotted it and ordered it, and they shipped it same day. these folks have been great to work with on many items in the past. cheers, jay

This sight is costing me $$$$ everytime I look at it!! :o Now I've ordered the Cortec Super Mini Magnetic bag -- this, after the Super Brace, Wild Bill pegs, and the Radiatior guard last month. Does it ever end?????? :blink: Jay

I live next to Virgina Beach, home of Oceana Naval Air Station -- so lots of ex-figter pilots are around this area, and many are my friends. They all have great stories about stunts like these. These guys are different, to be sure. And while most of my "normal" professional friends think...

I'm a possiblility and would like to "give it a go". May have to decide "at the last minute", as my company will be in the midst of a merger at that time, and we've been advised not to make any plans within 3 weeks or so of the merger date :dribble: . I live near Luvtoride, so I'll likely...

Grumpy -- I googled Lee Parks for a driving school and didn't come up with anything. I'm in Virginia, and would like to find something like that on the east coast. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, Jay

KSFJR is absolutely correct. Another thing to be aware of: if you sell stock for a loss, you aren't supposed to buy the same stock back for a 30 day period. Doing so violates the "Wash Sale Rule" and the IRS will disallow the loss. And if you decide not to file the amended return, you...

I'm with you Double Entendre; had a BMW 328is, and the thing "nickled-and-dimed" me to death (actually I wish it were nickles and dimes instead of the hundreds and thousands I spent on it...... :angry: ). Finally said "adios" and went with the Honda S2000. Wife drives an Accura...

After going through a few British cars (MGB, Spitfire, TR6), I finally figured out why the British drink warm beer (because they have Lucas refrigerators.... :D ). Then on to a host of Fiats (850 Spider, 124 Spyder, and X 1/9), I figured out what FIAT stood for ("Fix It Again Tony")...
