So zey sink all us americans are fat vit short arms huh. :D :D :D

I prefer the matte black R1 over the bumblebee.

I understand what your saying, but carrying liability only especially when I live down in South Texas (re: The land of the non insured, I carry non insured motorist coverage also) just seems to be bad advice. I can't afford to pay for a new bike out of pocket. I'm well aware that Yamaha doesn't...

LOL, well said Quicksilver.

I cover it at work and at home. The heat here in south texas is brutal to motorcycles.

I live in Texas, my rates haven't increased 20-30 percent a year or even close on my home, life or vehicles. Sorry, I just don't have 13 grand laying around to pay cash for my bike, and what happens if I'm in an accident and only have liability? Now I have no bike and I'm out 13 large. I don't...

I don't plan on riding in my jacket. Got a phoenix, kili and a first gear speed jacket for riding in. The new jacket is just for posing :D

I'm waiting to see when FJRocket's jacket comes in to give me an idea of when to expect mine. Mine should be about 5 days behind his.

Tom I'll let you know how the sizing runs when mine comes in. I ordered a large.

Dave, I get some of my gear from www.newenough.com and www.motorcyclecloseouts.com good folks and great prices.

Hey Bandit you can't go wrong by heading north on 180 through Silver City then continuing on to Datil. Make a right (east) on 60 to the Very Large Array (think of the movie "Contact"). Or you could take 191 up the Arizona-New Mexico border which is a very nice twisty ride. Or you could go north...

Rocket I ordered from Zirin today (Thu 9/29). No doubt in my mind that he doesn't keep all those jackets in his online store made up and ready to ship. I'll report too when I get mine. If I do.

never mind

Chris, what Karp said. Give it a 1000 miles or so.

The title of the article says Yamaha is "considering" doing this. Not that they've done it yet.

I won't be getting one of these but I have a friend who was seriously injured in a bike crash and her left ankle is fused. She still wants to ride and this electronic shift thingy looks like just the trick.

Too much going on in Oct. I did have a great time in July and would go in a heartbeat if I didn't have an MSF conference and a 30th class reunion that month. I'm out of weekends off. Ya'll have fun though.

Thanks Glenn

Just noticed on the Yamaha Website there is no mention of pre ordering the FJR. Anyone heard anything about this? Or does no news mean status quo?

Great Pics OrangeVale. Last year my wife, Dad and a friend rode up from South Texas. We did a lot of riding in Colorado including Mt. Evans. I was on my 2004 FJR, my wife was on a 1300 VTX, while Dad and our friend Neville were on 1800 wings. Here's a few pics.
