    New owner in March

    FJR - 1, buzzard - 0

    We have plenty in Lousyana also. I don't slow down. Slowing down makes them hang around and circle, they hate to leave their food. Loud pipes really help if you have them. The ones I have known get out of the way if you shown them you mean business.

    Discount on G2

    You shouldn't need it with an 08. Mine is not stiff or hard on the wrist.

    Here comes trouble

    Watch that crappy sidestand angle. It ain't hard to fall from it. A little grind job will help.

    Pullin' the trigger on an 08' this afternoon

    I traded my 05 Roadstar for a 08A model. I love the Fjr but at times I miss the Roadstar. Keep it if you can. My Roadstar wasn't slow with all the Baron mods I did but not fast like a Fjr. It sure sounded good with Bubs Jughuggers though.

    No-Mar alternative

    Built a 3 by 3 slab 6 inches thick in back of my shop. Put down some concrete anchor bolst so I can remove it when not working on a tire change.
