    Almost heaven, West Virginia...

    She must be really homely if she still needs the day job. On the other hand there is a military discount and one could bring a flag.

    rebuild at 30,000 miles?

    Sounds like you're at that place in life where pretty much anything else you do with your money will garner you a better return on your investment. If you're not experiencing any dissatisfaction with the ride quality on your bike don't worry too much about something you've read on the internet...

    SS braided brake lines: who's got 'me on their FJR?

    I bought the SS lines, wave rotors and brake pads during the original Galfer group buy many years ago anticipating at least one warped rotor and soft hoses sooner rather than later on my ABS '05. Still no issues,and never did do the install. Everything is still new in the boxes around here...

    Garmin Zumo 550 mount rot

    Automakers apply dielectric grease to most every electrical connector on a car. New headlight bulb packaging also recommends re-applying the grease at replacement. IMO you can't do much better to protect the Garmin pins from galvanic corrosion than the dielectric grease and a cover if you have it.

    Report from "Pirateville" or "An Idiots guide to Sturgis"

    Sturgis is a trip, George and I found the biker traffic only stops for male pedestrians wearing do-rags or females wearing very little. Those intersection sidewalk vendors are your friend when once town fills up. Be safe,wish I was there !

    Fly Fishing via FJR

    Popeil Pocket Fisherman and a deflated inner tube. Takes up very little space on the road since you were carrying a small compressor anyway. Make sure the butt of your 'stich is still waterproof and you're good to go !

    So... (pantless FJR rider) SFW

    Which one of you lost the bet ? Found this on the KTM site and I immediately assumed it was someone on here. But then again, no bet would have been needed for some most any of the prime suspects...

    Yeah, I finally picked up the 2014 FJR-ES

    Sounds like the kickstands may be a Gen I carryover.

    Holy Smokes the bike got hot

    I'm pretty sure I toasted my chestnuts doing extended riding in those kind of temps on a Gen 1. Haven't and won't be trying to procreate since then so I'll never know but it was damned uncomfortable. I was boiling gasoline during a couple of tank refills. Stay home or take something with A/C if...

    How old were you?

    I was 14, a friend a year older than me owned a H-D Rapido (125 ?) and would have me drop him at a bank behind the house his girl friend baby-sat for, right next door to her very strict parents. We had to coast in and push out of the bank parking lot for stealth purposes. After the drop off the...

    Ok, this is driving me nutz

    Making the kids was the best part for me. Gramps is a pretty darn good second though. Congrats Barb !~ I remember my wife throwing a fit when she found out she was going to be a grandma. Probably because we were only 37. :o
