    Not true. Thing to look forward to after age 21: 1. At age 25 your insurance rates go down. 2. At 30 you can no longer be trusted. 3. At 35 you can be the president of the United States 4. At 39 you can change your name to Jack Bennie. AND remember, you just said you bought your FJR at...

    I'll have to decline the offer. The last time I was in law inforcement was the 3rd grade in 1950. I was given my white crossing guard safety belt and badge. I began kicking kids out of line that very day. Just too much power. It went to my head. I was removed from the "force" the very...

    2006 FJR saddlebags

    I'd put 2lbs. of sand in each bag, just to bring them up to specs. Or two beers. Your choice!

    NOt to muddy the waters, but, I forgot. We also got a token of Plastic with a few drops of GUINESS embeded in it. Take a look! Now if that doesn't look like sludge from your crankcase I don't know what does. And it tastes just like the stuff in your crankcast too. (Just my opinion)

    Bought Yamaha Extended Warranty great price...

    What you are all buying is (yes, a warranty) but it is really nothing more than an INSURANCE POLICY. That being said, the dealer who sells the (warranty/insurance policy) gets up to a 75% commission YES ,75% on cars and probably at lest 50% on bike warranty/insurance policy. Don't get me...

    GOOD QUESTION!! The check was in the mail. Then Kaw. announced the new Concours! I had a ZX1100 and loved it. SooooI'm waiting. Right now I'm still plodding along with the ST1100. The new questions is: In the end, will I be or on this site? Will I be a fellow or just...

    My vintage is 1942. I feel the same way about chicks. BUT I know there will come a day when we all will have to give up chicks and go to a pullet! CK

    You, sir, sound like my kind of guy! I have been in the insurance and investment business for 40+ years. If your saving 25% of your income (and you have a good income) you will be set for life at age 55. RETIRE THEN!!! I retired at 55. Best thing I ever did. Put a lot of that 25% in Roth...

    GUINESS! Did someone say GUINESS!!!? Here is a photo (taken two weeks ago) of the drinking room on top of the Guiness brewery in Dublin! AND a photo of my wife and I just after I had taken the $50.00 (rip off) tour and had one Guiness beer! Now do I look happy? My wife is laughing...

    I didn't see any of that Budweiser Budvar. But I would sure try some if I find in when I'm over there again. I agree, let's not get this going into a beer brawl. And remember, no matter what the color of the beer. The end result is always the same color! CK

    Good Gereralization. I'm 64 and I'm on a Valk and an ST1100. Soon to be on an FJR or the new Concours 1400. But please do not discourage the squids from getting an FJR as a first bike. We "elderly" guys and gals then get a great change to buy a almost new FJr from one of those squids when...

In EVERY and I mean EVERY pub in Ireland and Scotland, and all supermarkets and convenience store, their were two (2) American beers being sold Bud and MGD. In every pub it...

    Is sure does. Now we will see all the "soft" "better" "cheaper" helmets go from $150.00 to $500.00+ because they are the better helmet! Good and best is = to higher cost! Remember: "You get what you pay for" You just usually get stuck paying too much. CK
