Turn Tech has been making these batteries for off road use for a few years. Lots of positive comments at the KTMTalk forum. I figure to replace the lead acid battery in my KTM with one of these when it gives up. Thought about one for the FJR, being able to shed nearly 10 lbs. mounted as high...

I thought for sure it would have been on your bike.. :lol:

Last summer I'm at a mega-motorcycle dealer in the Detroit area waiting on my son-in-law. Step outside to the smoking area and after a few minutes one of the salesmen asks me how I like my BMW. My bike was not in sight. "Hmm, I look like that, eh ?". Salesman apologized for stereotyping when I...

Yep. Big feet = big shoes.

I think Constant Mesh may be advocating going double dark rather than single dipping. :P

Your main issue (communication) doesn't seem as compromising as this surgery could possibly be. If it were me I'd do whatever it takes to avoid it as long as health wasn't affected. The temporary appliances and possibly even speech therapy seem a far more desirable course of action. If they...

Having noticed that many FJR owners are well above the 'mean', perhaps a personal weight reduction program could be of some help ? Enroute from Point A to Point C it's not always practical to drop the bags for improved handling on that fun road at Point B. Eliminating some personal baggage can...

I always wanted to ride a bull but I outgrew it before I got the chance and haven't regretted it yet.

I'll play. Walmart, both of the Rotellas. 12-19 bucks a gallon.

You must have frozen your *** off looking at that thing reposted on page two by ZW ! My cheeks hurt..damn that's a nice job !

I appreciate it for the everyday aspects since I've never really done a long distance event other than my unsent, unrecognized IBR's. Rules mean nothing to me but another 90 miles would. Freakin awesome tank DT ! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Many is the times I've looked longingly down dirt roads as I zipped by on the FJR wondering where they led, what life was like on them, what I may be missing by limiting the FJR to what it does best. Enter a used 05 KTM 400 EXC earlier this year. Street legal but only just barely, many of those...

Cool! What's the room number ? :secret:

I learned my lesson with the vacuum too. Found something surefire, this year I'm going with lingerie ! :thumbsup:

Pretty much anything by the Association. The tempo makes me sashay on straightaways and real wheel pirouettes at 80 are a ***** to pull off. Happy birthday Patriot you off-topic ADD poster child ! :D

Looks superb ! Color matching is tough when taking into account the effects of several years of UV aging. The typical solution is a total repaint for the very discriminating and settling for the best result by the rest. Once set on the bike you can decide where it falls in for you. In any case...

Ouch. Especially since the first reply seeems to have nailed your issue. A little experimenting with the windshield unit would have shown whether it was functional or not before dropping the big money on a new one. Not to rub it in but Ionbeam's structured approach would have zero'd in on your...

I'd have one if I didn't look so much like Bozo myself. Just hate to see little kids cry when they realize the circus isn't coming to town after all. :clown2:

Too cool. To have been there in person would've been a trip ! The wife and I just spent the day decorating the tree, nice capper for it.

Bolded part of your post is all the justification needed. Other things can be cut back that don't strike so deeply into the heart. Things like food(oatmeals good for you),heat(dial down, bundle up), the 2nd car (share a ride),vacation ( every ride is one), etc. If you're already there, then I'm...
