    FJR or Trophy?

    Actually there is a characteristic wheeze as the motor comes to a stop that's pretty funny.

    FJR or Trophy?

    Why would you trade your superior Gen1 for a Gen2? :lol: There is nothing as charming as a triple. If Yammy designed a Gen3 FJR as a triple, the '04 would be gone in a minute. :dance:

    At last - my first FJR ride.

    The FJR will run happily all day at pretty much anywhere in the rev band. After awhile you'll forget to shift UP from fourth!! :lol:

    Anyone know of good deals on PR2's online right now?

    I have a link to a spreadsheet of tire vendors' prices, but it's out of date. I don't know the author or if there is a current one maintained. Here's the link

    Added a trailer to the stable

    I believe over on Bob Vail's Delphi motorcycle trailer forum that some of the GW guys have dragged them over a 100mph--on a closed course with a professional driver... :) I've had mine up to 85 or so with no issue, wouldn't hesitate to drag it up to a buck--on a closed course, etc., etc...

    I got the Big Foot and the Knifemaker footboards last week; they're awesome! Everything came neatly packaged with instructions. The toughest part was getting the screws out of the footpegs. Also, if you decide to remove the footpegs to get at the screws easier, be aware that there is a small...

    Looking for a New Laptop

    We have iMacs at the store that display all kinds of music software that people can just walk up to and diddle with (1tb hard drive, 940Gb of demo software!). Occasionally I'll need to reboot one if more than 2 or 3 programs are fighting over the sound card. A few years back we had one that...

    Triumph Explorer.......

    Sat on a Tenere yesterday at a dealer; felt about the same leg reach and size as the FHR. Seat/peg/bars is pretty close to the same. (I have Russell & D&D barbacks). I don't get what these humungous machines are about. I think Fred's WR250 is in many ways superior, at least in New England...

    Police over here get the message.

    I'd think that the radio/comm/data stuff would run off an auxiliary total-loss battery. Plug 'em in at the garage at the end of the shift to recharge both bike and aux batts. The police lights look to be mostly led, especially the forward and presumably the rear units. Not sure about the side...

    She's a Renegade!

    Awesome video! I like riding when there's less foliage, you can see further down the road, less tunnel-like.

    What Bike for a 16 year old

    Fred, are those bikes not using skid plates? Seems like an odd omission. Carl

    Rethinking My Audio Setup

    2 types of switch; I used them for my AVCC. Get 'em here. You'll need to order both the switch and the weatherproof condom. Edit: I lost the link to the condom/booty for the rocker style switch but it's somewhere on Digikey site. Linky Linky Linky Linky

    When will we see a new FJR design?

    Oh sure; put Dave out of business! :angry2: Oh sure; put Staples out of the wastebasket business! :angry: Oh sure; put the guys who are now selling the Audiovox unit out of business! :angry2: Oh sure; now the price goes up by $1k for a $200 farkle! :angry: (Don't take this too...
