    Dumbsh*t award

    Try putting the gas in the carb then putting the cover on before cranking. Don't ask why I know this. Where I work there are burns quiet often and we put ice water on them first and it works wonders. That is where I use to work, they retired me today. Shut the lube plant down. Expect motor...

    I wonder

    Old Gustav is gonna come right over my place. I believe it will be weakened quite a bit though. Praying it will and not tare things up like Rita did. We are sitting this one out at home as we did Rita. You would not believe how hard to find a place to go when these storms hit.

    Discount prices at Umotors no more

    Seattlesportsplaza gives 27% discounts and are seeking to maintain volume. I have order several things from them and they are good to deal with.

    FJR Maybe

    My wife is 5'1" and she rides well on the back. I live on gravel and it is no problem if you don't get in a hurry.

    I wonder

    I wonder if my fjr can outrun Gustof. Yea, we got another one coming. Looks like I won't ride for a few weeks if it hits. There will be trees all over the roads and powerlines down.

    (edit) The Third Thread on the Same Subject

    Sat on a 09 concours today. It was black. Felt about like sitting on the fjr, the seat a little more comfortable maybe. It was at a 3Jap dealer. Everything but suzuki. They don't seem to ever get fjrs there and did not know when they would be out.

    What was that? You say stay right.

    I forgot who it was on the forum over the past that says stay right but I would like to thank them for drilling this in often times on different posts. Yesterday I was in the country on one of the few curvy roads in Lousyana when coming up on a blind curve when it rang in my mind, stay...

    Jacket recommendations

    I have the tourmaster mesh, comes with rain liner and quilt liner. You can use all or one or the other. I have been in 106 degrees in south Texas and while moving the mesh is just right to keep off sun and is actually cooler than just a long sleeve shirt. You have to take it off if your not...

    Wicked Webby's Recipe for Great HP and Torque!

    :rolleyes: You gonna love that ride to Yellowstone. The long stretches across Wyoming will allow you to really high speed curise. I saw no badge boys except in and close to towns. I came back from our trip to Yellowstone and after seeing all the bikes I had to get another one after not...

    I keep my windshield down. It is always hot here except a few weeks in the deep of winter.
