    back in black almost last but nit least

    Ride it like it belongs to you and you respect its abilities. You know like when you get a new horse. See what she wants to do then take her where you know she wants to go.

    Man are you lucky it's not friday! Ladies and gentlemen! Bring forth copious quantities of gayness behavioral commentary.

    At least the saddlebags match now

    There definitely is a necessity to be forward looking and and prepared for what the bike with the help of physics is going to do. This is not to say you aren't forward looking or unprepared but more a case of yak to boost my self image of knowledge level. Please forgive me. :rolleyes:

    Ya know the title of this thread could use a little work.

    At least the saddlebags match now

    One MAJOR lesson I learned mountain biking is NEVER PUT THE DOWNHILL FOOT DOWN! If you do you and the bike are going to be on your way to the bottom. Be aware of the terrain and always go to high ground with your planting foot. It is always a shorter distance down and any mechanical advatage...

    Overloading the FJR

    While I am one of those FNG's and not an experienced FJR guy, it seems to me if you are going to consistently carry heavy loads some adjustment to the suspension may be necessary. I had a connie and if I travelled at a high rate of speed or carried a heavy load, the front end would "boat" on...

    Is the FJR the culmination of your dreams in a motorcycle?

    I grew up in a more simple time where the machine was an extension to the person. One had to master his skill to understand and operate the machine in order to enjoy the experience to its fullest. The butt dyno was all that was available and it was rarely wrong. The FJR is an exceptional...

    Conversation with Keith Ellis, US Importer of Furygan Leathers

    I bought a Furygan jacket from Keith last year in prep for the '08 purchase. He was very helpful in my dealings with him as euro cut in clothes are to say the least different. Quality product and exactly what I wanted. I will be dealing with him again.

    Experienced road rage this morning.

    We all say things that if they were applied to ourselves with the vigor implied we wouldn't say. To see such an example with no real consequence is a priceless lesson to us all. I only marvel at the wonder of the incident and am provoked to self examination (not an opportunity for the merry...

    Dear I-5 Stunters

    Let me see if I have this right. One act of bravado supported by an act of anarchy. One outraged "good" citizen playing the NARC role. One wanna be impressed but can't do it and defaults to the sagely "Now now..." One testostros young individual destined to die and has no tolerance for those...

    Experienced road rage this morning.

    You can't buy this kind of irony! "The wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'. Don't know where I'll be tomorrow..."

    A Rider's Plea For Attention

    Fixed it for ya. Although he may want us (forum members) to send in a copy to our respective papers (money ya know). Just another half baked thought.

    (edit) 7.5 amp or 10 amp fues for air pump?

    Sorry Mogambo for being slow on the uptake. The one I have comes with a 15 amp fuse that is attached to the red clip. The pigtail just clips to the battery when in use. Remove and stow when not. I hope I'm helping.

    (edit) 7.5 amp or 10 amp fues for air pump?

    I am not aware of any other year's battery access configuration but... On the '08 it is just 2 screws and a removable plastic rivet to get to the battery. I purchased a cigarette lighter pigtail from Walmart (you can get them anywhere) and included it in my road bag. I bought the Husky mini...

    A Rider's Plea For Attention

    Well written and certainly pleading. A long letter written to those without awareness of or paying attention to anything outside themselves. Awareness Deficit Drivers (ADD's) can't sit still long enough to read this and don't care as long as it is not about them or their goal of the moment...
