I've had a bit of high speed weave on my FJR,, fully loaded with a Tanji Aux tank and large Motofizz bag on the aux tank. Guess it was about 130 mph after I had passed a group of bikes. Backed off the throttle and everything settled down. I have had one tank-slapper. It was in 2003 on a '02...

If he takes it out on a test ride and complains of heavy steering, check for low tire pressures. The FeeJee doesn't like the tires under-inflated. Handle like a truck with 32/36 psi. I recommend checking the tires before going out. Should be 38/42 or even 40/42 psi. A flat center section on...

Me too. I picked up a pair of Hexicone cans at WFO-6 and love the sound. Baffles in of course. At freeway speeds I don't hear them but around town they sound sweet. Got them for 10% off, free installation and free shipping for my old cans. Had to do it. :yahoo: Gives the bike a little...

I was cheering for you Scott. Wish I could have taken bets on the outcome. Is that legal in Utah? B) -- Ed

I thought the world's largest ball of twine was in Minnesota. :huh:

Those trucks with the long loads are transporting tower sections for wind turbines. We have over 1000 of them north, south and west of Abilene, Texas.

Me neither!

I was delayed about an hour in Ogdan due to that accident refered to earlier. Stopped in Baker City, OR in the early afternoon. Did my laundry and had a DQ banana split then spent the night at the Super 8. Monday I headed south on OR 7 to US 26 then OR 20 and US 101 up the coast to Tillamook...

Not much louder then stock. Even with the baffles out they don't get loud unless WFO.

I couldn't resist. Spent $900 for the gorgeous hexigon cans. :yahoo: Ed Grant

I guess cutting off your hair didn't affect your riding ability. :clapping:

I'm in. Don't look a day over 50 though. :rolleyes:

I highly recommend a steering damper if you're going to use those big bags. I lost my first V-Strom to a tank slapper back in '03. It had the bags on at the time and they were empty. Had a very strong head wind and the front end went into a slapper at 70 mph after I passed a truck. I've got...

Past and present DL1000 owner. Currently have a 02 Vee that I picked up in Charlotte, NC April 10th and rode back to Abilene going through Fontana, TN; the dragon and over to Rich Mountain, AR and then Oklahoma highway one. It has a Givi top box, Sargent seat, PCIII and Marsee tank bag. After...

PCH September of 2005. I had stopped on the shoulder to get a drink of water and shoot a couple pictures. Just as I got back on the FJR a Honda Civic pulls in behind me and as I pull out I see in the rear view mirror a lady get out of the car and take a leak. Sure caught me by surprise. When...

I'm with you. Let's show them how ugly it can get. :)

Got a USPS tracking number yesterday. Looks like my PHIDs are on their way. :D

Don't get the locktite on any of the plastic. It will turn plastic into powder. DAMHIK

For Dragon status go to Killboy.com. He has weekly reports on it that go back several years along with lots of photos. I've never ridden any roads east of the Mississippi but I hope to sample some Tennessee roads later this year.

I have a 01 CBR929 w/22000 miles. That bike replaced a 94 Suzuki RF900 I rode for five years. The CBR is SOOOO much better than the RF. :) I've had my FJR since August of 04 and it has 23K miles.
