    LAMM Leather seat FJR Gen 1

    I may be interested in it. Have to do the taxes first to see if it is in the bank account. The divorce may have screwed me over (ex is the screwer). I am the right size and have the right bike. If it is not sold by next month drop me message.

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    Update on my T30GTs. Just put on my second set of them. First set lasted 15K which is the main reason I stuck with them. Minimal cupping at the end of life on the set. I will say while scrubbing in the new set yesterday they were slick enough on practicing emergency braking to activate the ABS...

    After four years

    I made my own out of clear tubing and a board. Put 2 stroke oil in the tubes. Cost to build about $25. It works great for me. I googled it for the plans, lol.

    Finally scored a 15ES - the deals are out there if you're patient

    You got a smoking deal on that bike. But that is expected when it is not a desirable color like the hot little red head or my blue one! Down the road I will be picking up a younger model but for now Raquel only has 50K showing on her and runs like a bat out of hell. Plus I have to teach my new...

    2016-01-30 KrZy8 Washed And Waxed

    I am impressed with your mechanical skills and desire to keep her looking and running like new. Most people do not care to know their machines on your level. That is a deep bond you have with her. Keep up the great work!

    Best Place To Retire Early

    Good list but they left out some vital information. Kentucky, Mississippi and New Mexico have more people on welfare than are working and are considered to be in a death spiral. Something else to consider.......

    What Did You Get for Christmas?

    Clothes from my new lady friend, wine from my son and I just bought myself a PS4, lol. Gave many presents to my Grandchildren, Son and friends. Being single is better than I thought it would be, lol.

    RIP Beemerdons

    Wow, I am shocked to learn of Beemerdon's passing. Thought it was another joke until I opened the posting. Being a relative new member here I have not had the chance to meet anyone yet. I have read many of his posts and always enjoyed his banter and input. My thoughts and prayers are with the...

    Ducati Does Davison

    If I wanted a cruiser this is one I would consider, after getting my head examined for wanting to spend that much! It is a sharp looking bike.

    Hand Guards

    I have to vent on this. Ordered a set of V Strom hand guards for my 05 from partzilla. They arrived mid last week along with the parts to repair the damage from my get off. Yesterday I decided to install the hand guards as the weather is cool in the morning here. Started on the left side...

    Interesting throttle response

    Possible glitch in the CPU thinking it was cold and kicked on the choke system? Only thing I can think of off the bat....

    Now on the other side

    I had my xray tech shoot rib films this morning at work. Looking at them showed me 2 fractured ribs which explains the pain. Since I am the Doc I had a good idea of the extent of my injuries. No the SUV did not stop. That was the last thing on mind at the time. Have to give up the gym for a...

    Now on the other side

    Went for a group ride today up in the back roads of Kentucky. Was riding in a narrow road that can support 1.5 cars zipping up and down hills and around curves. I was really enjoying myself when I topped a hill and saw the curve banking left. As I pitched it left in the turn I see a SUV coming...

    Balancing the fuel injection every 4000 miles

    I made my own TBS tool. 26 feet of 1/4 vacuum tubing, f connectors, scrap board and 2 cycle oil to fill it with. Works great and only cost about $20. Guess that makes me cheap, lol.

    Hi ALL! Have wanted an FJR for a long time and ready to pull trigger, price check?

    This is a good place to pick up the heat fix. Look on Ebay and search for FJR1300 heat fix. He sells the kit for 28 and it works great.

    Albuquerque has suffered huge losses.

    I am sorry for your loss. LEOs have it hard out there, I can relate to your friend as I am retired from the military also. A brother in arms was lost. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about the loss of his life and Lily's. Thank you for the job you do HodRodZilla

    Sharing a few thoughts

    Wow, I too have hope. My first at age 53 (52 when I got it) and loving it. Some day I shall move from the Gen 1 but is a pretty sweet bike. The red head is still a lusty bike and I have to wonder what is planned for the 2016 model.
