great job Chris. way to go, see you soon I hope.

congrats Windy on an outstanding ride. Your success(high finish slot) was awe inspiring. :yahoo: Next time I am up there maybe for Whiskey Days will drop by.

Color of the bikes only. Nothing more, even pertains to my 06 AE, is color only also. Trust me the Gen II Yamaha FJRs are less reliable than the Gen I's. I know because I had an 05 non-ABS and it was never down for a failure. I truly believe the Gen IIs have an inferior electrical system...

GOOD JOB, WAY TO GO

FYI, my Tanji #6 is simply useable totally on both Gen I orIIs. for gen 1 use simply remove front lock tab that fits into GEn II rear saddle. no other mod required. saddle bags are still easily removed without removing the cell. It was IBR tested and worked perfectly.

Thanks Rogue for the welcome to Santa Ana. Great pics but some of the subjects are suspect????!!!

I am back home in rancho cucamonga and among the living after the IBR. want to thank all of you for the rooting and support, best wishes for safe riding during the 11 day adventure of a lifetime for me. I shall never forget the start of the rally, when full of P&V and raring to roll and the...

Arrived today at 1500 EST. :yahoo: Had a nearly uneventful 2400 mile ride with stopovers each 1k. visited with relatives in memphis and old Iron Butt partner in Cookville TN. Nearly wiped out my right ankle and shin/knee for being hit by a portion of a blown truck tire. :assassin: was...

Heading out the morning at 0600 from Ranchco Cucamonga CA for Spartanburg SC and THE motorcycling adventure of my lifetime, an fortunate opportunity to ride in the coveted Iron Butt Rally. I may be making short status reports as the rally unfolds but nothing very elegant or professionally...

Some of the bottom line questions in most large corporations related to continuation of a product line are as follows, IMHO: * Is there demand for the product, has volume of sales increased or decreased since its inception? * Are the fixed and recurring costs per vehicle profitable based upon...

I had a total ground failure due to a corroded ground connector just to the left of the triple tree under the plastic covers. My main electrical harness was replaced under YES as the wires into the harness were brittle. This was on my 06 AE. Don't fool with it, take it to the dealer. I was...

Art, IMHO you are making a smart and mature decision based upon the situation with you Mother. I have prayers for you Mother. I feel that you will get another opportunity to do the IBR. I will miss seeing you in SC and hope to see you at Santa Ana.

I di it in 2005 starting in San Diego to Jacksonville Beach and return. I can offer some suggestions if you want, PM me. In the last month I was using Interstates 8/10/12 from San Diego to Panama City and it was a perfect slab all the way, no wrecks or congestion at all. no congestions in the...

Dear GodFather, I can not tell you a lie!! I did cut down the Cherry Tree. I did buy a "Girly" WeeStrom,vintage 2009, as a backup hedge against my beloved 06 FJR 1300 AE, all rallied up in configuration, but suffering from an acute case of electrical grounding failure, not being able to...
