    Recalls-R-Us

    "...it appears that some damage was done." - Hirohito - upon his visit to Hiroshima after the war. "Frame replacement may take a few weeks" ??? - they would be lucky to get it back in 3 months.

    Where to get carbon fiber stator cover protector

    I scored a deal on CL for a never used Bike Johnny stator cover for $60. But the glue was dried up - I had to buy a tube of 3M Marine Grade sealant. My bike had a parking lot tip over, now we are back to never been down as soon as I complete the touch up on the upper fairing. I bet most of...

    Okay, I'm showing my ignorance here.

    Sir, I would provide a counter example. I had the PCIII on my '04 and I felt no need for it. It made the engine seem buzzier, louder and more radical even with the Wally map. Most everyone sings the praises of the PCIII, but I didn't see an improvement. You might gain some power especially if...

    Got Passed by two Harleys

    Hell, they promote the mix of alcohol and motorcycles. Our local grocery stores have beer displays (Miller Light I think) with cases of beer stacked up around a new Sportster. WTF does that say to the kiddies?

    A thread gone awry

    The forum has always had an edge, but usually in jest. Some do not suffer noobs lightly. If you really want a used bike just do your research and be patient. It is a good time to buy. Do you want it farkled up or stock? I recommend buying it farkled as it will save you much money in the long...

    bike wanting to fall left?

    There is a BMW fork alignment article by Randy Glass that describes using plate glass to ensure coplanar fork tubes. Our forks are different, but the lowers should be in plane. You will need to remove the wheel, and brake calipers. Turn the lower tubes to get the smooth outer sides facing...

    MotoGP test at Indy

    My daughter goes to Ball State. Is there much good riding around there? Oh yeah, let me know about the track. Did they keep the F1 road course the same?

    Motorcycle emissions

    I miss my old Kawasaki 750, except for the brakes, handling, noise, vibration, Klotz, and poor fuel economy. We get too many mosquitoes here now. Naw - I don't miss it.

    Finally Finished. Carbon Fiber panels.

    Be careful signing up to do work for others - if you don't come through you are mud. ...and put me on the list. :rolleyes:

    Death of an FJR

    That's gotta hurt :o - Heal up quickly!!! We finally get to see what they wear under the kilts besides lipstick (on a good day.) (joke courtesy of Craig Ferguson.)

    How young is too young...

    1 & 2 would kill the notion for many. I cannot imagine anyone stating that riding on a motorcycle is a safe place or free from risk - especially when it comes to our children. We FJR owners are willing to accept some risk, but the risks I accept for my kids is much less than the risks I will...

    Any scooter owners out there? ... cringe...

    1. I have 3 teenage daughters and there is no way I could keep them off of a scooter if I had one. I would not want them mixing it up with heavy traffic even in town. 2. When I can drop 5k and get a nice '99 Blackbird or a Bergman guess which one I would want. I kinda like the Big Ruckus, but...

    Harley accident

    Even from just the scant information we have I cannot agree that it is not his fault. If you are on a 2 lane road with cars and truck on both sides of the road that is a big warning that there may be heavy foot traffic. I always assume that there could be a child ready to come out from between...
