    Admin. Question

    Sooooo...... Do we get our slate cleaned (meter reset) annually, or are we to tread lightly on broken glass for life,eh?? :( As Sylvester the cat once said, "what did I say, what did I say"? "Sufferin sucatash". Seriously folks, if any of us (myself included), step out of line, a heads-up...

    'Stitch Roadcrafter

    Kaitsdad, I ordered 2 or 3 stock sized Roadcrafter suits in different sizes for test fit purposes before ordering my final suit along with it's alterations. Aerostich personell were very accomodating to my doing this, so long as I returned them in a reasonable time. I did find that it would...

    'Stitch Roadcrafter

    P.S. I forgot to mention that the leg band full of road flares might be considered mandatory riding apparell for those inclined to ride a Hardley! ;) No dissaproving remarks, please! :bleh:

    Latest helmet farkle

    I have used this product on most of my helmets and have given them to friends and employees as well. The sunblocker shield is easy to install on the inside of a visor. It can be repositioned or trimmed-to-fit easily. They generally run about 15 bucks or so, and they make a version for an Arai...

    'Stitch Roadcrafter

    Or........ You can always order a high vis suit with Red ballistic trim, and have it both ways. :bleh: Have fun, make a new fashion statement, amaze your friends, and above all,....screw the fashion world! :o (They only ride Harleys and Ducatis, anyway). :lol:

    Whats The secret to cold wet weather clear vision.

    Cat Crap is also sold in sporting goods stores as an anti-fog treatment for rifle scopes/binoculars. It works reasonably well, as does cracking your visor (particularily on an Arai). Some of the HJC helmets (CL12/CL14) can be retrofitted with electric snowmobile faceshields which use an RCA...

    Rear Power Slide

    Just think of the FJR as one big dirt bike..........NOT! I enjoy sliding in the soft stuff- off road, but a big, heavy, pretty FJR would be a great pity to lowside regularly for "fun". :o P.S. Michigan riders tend to practice this technique (unintentionally) quite regularly in the spring...

    Bike show

    The venue in Novi, MI was a lot better than running down to Cobo Hall in Detroit. I concur with the parkling situation, as it appears that they were more interested in taking your $5.00 than making sure there were adequate spots in the parking lot. I think that they will do na better job of it...

    ATV

    For a pretty good all-rounder I would suggest you look at one of the new Suzuki King Quads or the new Honda Rincons. They are fuel injected for easy all season running(particularily when pushing a plow early on a cold winter morning). I would also opt for heated grips (aftermarket) and a...

    Lonniegordon, Consider yourself extremely lucky that you didn't crash your bike with all of that slippery coolant on your front (and probably rear) tire !!!!!!!! :bigeyes: Remove radiator.....install new radiator.......install proper radiator guard.....install Fenda Extenda......refill with...

    Front Brakes

    I believe that the correct term would be "tidbits", Thug. OK? Bad visuals to keep one awake at night........again! :bad:

    For Canadian FJRs

    Radman, Just remember....... That shotgun your avitar is carrying would probably be illegal over the border, (as would most other self defense gear), if the Canadian government would continue to have their way with it's citizens. :rant: Still a great place to go fishing, though! :friends:

    06' electrical

    What ever happened to all the European Police-spec FJR's? Didn't they have some kind of aternator upgrade to power their lights and such? Wouldn't that have been mandatory for Yamaha to address this issue to try to get LEO contracts? You'd think there would be a parts kit for a retrofit, eh...

    Motorcycle Trailer Recommendations

    I bought a Kendon 2 place fold up trailer. To be quite honest my original priorities were based on it's foldability, first and formost. What I have experienced after hauling a multitude of bikes around, is that it is less than ideal for loading large or heavy bikes without assistance...

    John, no added pressure, but...... YOU have been tasked with the responsibility to rebuild American goodwill and moral values (and fair trade practices), overseas! Keep up your good efforts, eh! ;) Remember, We all want to CONTINUE to be the beneficiaries of high quality, low cost farkles...

    Ride To Galena

    Wheaton, Now that winter is here, (in our part of the country anyway) you might take this time to add those farkles as suggested by Silverado to make the bike emminently more comfortable for you wife. I went the Sargent seat route with the removable backrest, as well as the peg extenders with...

    Save the envirorment

    Heard about a used frier oil car--smells like stale french fries! Yanktar, I've often wondered about those people who make the news about converting their cars to run on used vegetable frying oil. There was a recent news article about the(highly allergic) teenage girl, who died shortly after...
