Maybe I should remove the baffles on the Remus cans I bought @ WFO-6.... just to hear a little of that rumble. :)

I use a headlight modulator but back to the turn signals. I noticed it's hard to see that the turn signal is on when the sun is shining on the instrument panel on my 05. After the turn I normally cancel the signal a couple of time just to make sure. :) I use the turn signals but add a hand...

Good luck. I've watched quite a bit of the game on TV and the internet but I think I'll stick to bridge. I've been playing bridge for 20 years and enjoy it very much.

Texas has had a law on the books for a year or so requiring traffic to slow 20 mph below the speed limit if in the right lane when passing an emergency vehicle that is on the right shoulder. It's OK to maintain speed if you can change into a lane farther left. Seems to be working around here...

+1 as well. The Garmin 2610 works well. I do have a Vapor computer (speedo/tach/ODO/etc) on the KLX250s. Easy to calabrate and dead on accurate speed & odometer.

Get well soon Cameron. What were you doing trying to do a triple jump? ;)

Cool (by Houston standards) and clear this morning in the big city. Last night there was a bit of thunder and rain as that big front moved through although there were no tornados around here.

When I bought my 02 DL1000 last year from a guy in SC we exchanged cash for the bike and the bikes title duly signed. I was stopped near Albany, Texas for going a little too fast and after the officer ran the plate and questioned my ownership I showed him the signed SC title. He gave me a...

Best give SWMBO the complete attention she deserves. :) Congrats on your new ride. 3 1/2 years after getting my FJR I'm still in love with it.

Never mind... Saw the thread on just that topic.

So did the new ECU fix your throttle response problems? Glad to hear Yamaha is stepping up to the plate to replace ECUs on affected bikes. My 05 still is running strong at 36000 miles. :)

My 05 has a Tanji aux tank. I get all kinds of questions about the aux tank as it sort of STANDS OUT on the back of the bike. :rolleyes: When I tell them I have a range of about 450 miles on a tank they of course ask how I could possibly stay on a bike that long. :)

When I first installed my aux tank (Tanji) I would open the aux tank after the fuel gauge went down a couple bars. Over the next 60 miles the gauge would slowly go back up to full then start to go down again. All normal. In the last year or so it hasn't been doing that. Only once coming back...

Sweet bike WC. Bet the 08 FJR is going to look nice in black too. Don't think I'll be trading my '05 in though. :)

At least he had insurance what with the outstanding warrants and all. :)

I met Andrew at WFO-6. I have one picture of him in the registration room when I was signing in. He had the biggest smile that I've ever seen. That is the memory I have of him. RIP Andrew.

I found codeine does wonders for the pain. Those new black FJRs sure look nice. You probably got the road rash from the bottom of the pants riding up your leg exposing the skin.

I put a Hawk Oiler on my CBR929 in 2001. Currently have 25749 miles on the bike & the chain. It still looks in great shape. I oil the chain at every refueling (about 140 miles). I've heard of one rider getting about 40000 miles out of an o-ring chain by using a chain oiler and keeping the...

Cost me $60 a couple years ago here in Texas. Illegal lane use or some such. I was just splitting between the cars at a red light. Guess someone got on a cell phone and called it in. I don't do that here anymore. :blink:

I got a short ride on a Versys Friday. Would be a great all-round bike. Handles the city streets with ease. Loved the feel of the suspension. I just can't justify a 4th bike right now. :)
