    Day ride mid-September N. CA

    nice ride! I like that pick with the muffler too. I like the farmer's market. I like the area. I think I might move there ;)

    I just decided to NOT buy an 08

    It's 'almost' as if he was just waiting for the story to break - ;) hmm... btw, I visited a competing yamaha dealer in the sacto area recently because they called and asked what they could do to win my business. I told them I doubted I would switch, but that I'd talk to them to try give them...

    sorry, can't reveal the source. It ain't the ones you mentioned. Should kept quiet frankly, trust it or don't...your choice.

    Kawasaki KLX 250S

    Bummer. Well Yamaha would make some sales if they made the WR450 a CA DS bike, not to mention bring in that TE660. Oh well. I guess I'm stuck with my DRZ (and I have no problems with that :) )

    I just decided to NOT buy an 08

    Yamaha ≠ KTM or any other brand (BMW with their final drives and such). IMO Yamaha has listened to its customers and reacted better than most manufacturers to complaints and issues. I know people don't feel they should have to wait for these things, but everytime I have seen Yamaha come out...

    I just decided to NOT buy an 08

    THis is the first place I posted this tidbit of information. I shouldn't have but it's too late I did. But I ain't BSing and if not 100% accurate, it's 99.9% accurate. I just felt really wrong about you making the decision to go to a lesser bike instead of the '08 for this reason. Not bagging on...

    I just decided to NOT buy an 08

    The '08 has a new ECU that has been tested and they fixed the surge problem. The '07 ECU replacements are completed and being manufactured and will be shipped to dealers that have customers with logged complaints. Yamaha has stepped up, fixed the problem, and has shipped the first ECU already...

    Kawasaki KLX 250S

    And if your Yamaha dealer is a different dealer than your Kawi dealer and you are happy with your yamaha maintenance shop, there is reason to buy another yamaha...they have a new WR250F that looks really nice!

    Here we go again...

    Looks like a chance someone like me shouldn't pass up. I was kinda planning a ride in Italy next summer though...maybe I can do this ride in 2009? Can I get my reservations in now for that :) ?

    tundra commercials

    Is FJR1300 K6, 26k mi. - Asking 9,900 a decent deal

    The price and mileage are good. It is due for a valve check at 26k. Maybe you should ask him to do that service before you buy. Seems most FJRs are within specs at that mileage...unless driven really hard.

    Alpine Loop Colors 10/4

    all that riding to Utah and it rained hard as soon as we finally got on the bikes and see what I missed! Maybe next year I'll have better luck with the weather.

    Fortuna for Salmon Oct 19th, 20th and 21st

    Steve, I want to go on this, but I have to fly back to Colorado for a week to visit with my parents. I'll probably be in Colorado when you are on this ride :(

    The FJR is my dream bike.

    When I low sided my bike, one of the first things I thought was, "I'm glad that wasn't my FJR!" Then I got mad because I just low sided my 2 day old DRZ400SM. Still...glad it wasn't my FJR!!!

    NHL Regular Season

    It amazes me that a metropoitan area the size of Chicago cannot support their NHL team. No TV contract, low attendance, poor performance. Well, the thing that killed the Hawks is the loss of the TV contract, before that their following was bigger. There are still the loyal Blackhawk fans and...
