    How I Up-Chucked for 1,020 Twisty Miles

    Atta Boy sandiegoland!!! :clapping: :yahoo: :clapping: Hang THAT cert with pride son. You earned it! GZ - Great ride! (What little I saw of it.) I think my little note of encouragement I wrote on my map during the rider's meeting pretty much sums it up...

    Adjustable Cowlings

    When my right "wing" mysteriously disappeared on some northern Nevada highway (at FJR speed of course), I took it as a blessing. I always hated the way they block access to bolts on the fairing. Yes, I know how to remove them, just hated taking that extra step. I've since removed the left "wing"...

    Hey you two pole gazers: -Old Michael and Bluestreek

    LUCK!!! Some words of wisdom? Hmmmm... - I'd HIGHLY recommend refraining from telling the judge "Go **** yourself ya bald-headed prick!" - Parking your FJR in front of the bench after doing a burnout should also be avoided (if possible.) - I heard from a trusting source that giving the judge...

    bulk head fitting

    Answers... 1. No. Like Hal, I drained it, wiped it out and let it sit for 24 hrs. 2. Had one in hand but thought it was overkill since there's a filter built into the main pump. (Famous last words?) 3. It's a TourTank which uses 2 steel bands that are bolted to my mount plate. The mount plate...

    bulk head fitting

    I just did it on my '07 a few weeks ago. Pretty much followed Hal's advice here. The only difference I had from Hal's directions was my little girly wrist was able to weasel a spray paint can cap with masking tape (from original instructions) under the site of the future hole. Made cleanup a bit...

    Winter Warm Weather BBG

    Thanks for the write-up Jerry and congrats on the BBG! My bad for not giving you fair warning about holiday traffic on the dam. I assumed you would be passing that point late night/early morning. <sigh> Glad to hear it didn't break your ride.

    AZ-NV winter ride

    Gunny to what SpyderBret said. Kingman is gonna be a little nippy but nothing you haven't ridden through before. Good thing you didn't try it last week as we actually got snow here in Vegas. So THAT's what all you Northern folks have been bitching about. :D

    "My other ride is your wife." Saw this on a guy near my work... Click the image for one of the places selling them. And one from Aerostich... "Does this bike make my butt look fast?"
