Fascinating read. My son, who was perusing your story, commented that he thought I had told him {when contemplating an Iron Butt ride myself} in order to qualify you could not average a speed that puts your average speed over the speed limit. Just curious.

I would like the Marsee bag, PM sent.

That trailer is the cat's meow. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

What I want to know is how you find the time to do all that riding AND coach the chiefs?

Man, was that an eye-opener, thanks, John. Now to get out there and change my oil.

A long time ago, I was at a flea market and found a great deal on a "chop saw" that I desperately needed to build a deck on my house. I was on my FJR, and the only place to put it was on the passenger seat, and the ARM of the thing nestled right in the middle of my lower back. I was 35 miles...

I run regular, regularly. Now and then, {especially now that I have the RSV gearing} I "almost" stall my FJR pulling away from a stop sign on a hill, {uphill, not downhill} and when it almost stalls, it "rattles". I do NOT like to hear that rattle, I assume that it is not good for my FJR to...

I am on my way to pick up the battery, will take a couple of years to put money together for the trip, and 5-6 days after that to do the riding. Please put battery on trickle charger. See you soon. Phil, South Carolins

Ouch, I take it Beemerdons is no longer with us, sorry.

If any of the front calipers were locked due to an ABS malfunction wouldn't all three of them be locked?

Thanks Ross, I should be embarrassed that I did not see that, but I am not. Sad Sad.

So Iggy, I went to the thread, was very interested. Read the posts for 10 minutes, got bored. Is there a place where you see the results? I would like to go to it without knowing about Beemerdons meltdowns, or anyone elses. LOL

Well, at least I know the British Motogp was cancelled due to weather. I recorded the original broadcast, saw it was in rain delay and have been waiting for a rebroadcast {I have Charter with BEIN} and today it said it was rebroadcasting it. Kinda curious to see what they are going to broadcast...

Sorry about the smart--- comment, but get a can of paint, your color, and paint over the ABS sticker on the fender. If you really want to do it right, paint the four dot's on the front calipers blue. To test the front wheel ABS, do it carefully on gravel or grass. If you crash it means the ABS...

You owe me a minute and a half of time, HOTROD.

Any other strange happenings? High beam light stay on? Both flashers on? Headlight off? There are several "spiders" on the FJR where several ground wires come together and just one goes back to the battery, and if they get a little corrosion in there funny things happen. Even if this isn't your...

Not really, though it might help you have a little more delicate "control" mid corner. If you look in there, as someone else said, you will see if there is a lot of "tension" on it. Someone did mine before I got it. I fixed mine by putting a short piece of copper wire right in the groove of...

I did the same thing with the lights. The Givi thing is so erratic. You did a better job it looks like. I also added a wig-wag Bak-off so the lights wig-wag for a couple of seconds and then flash for a second and then are solid. Anyone who would like to compare the size of this to the old E-52...

you camping or moteling.
