    the fjr does more than i thought

    As great a bike it iz munch'in miles, wut amazes me, (With a few modest suspension components.) is how fast the pig can be hustled through the twisties.

    Slippery seat problem.

    I have a stock seat which gets kinda slippery, so be'in the cheap ******* I am, I just wrap some of that rubber drawer/shelf liner stuff from the dollar store. It ain't purdie, but keeps me from slide'in around.

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    Yeah, not sure how to measure the sleep/awake rate; somebody else warned me 'bout this. I know I can be riding along for awhile, adjust the volume on the RD, (Or fiddle w/ any other setting.) and there doesn't seem to be any delay on the warning. Does that prove anything? Wut LEDs; Marc Parnes?

    Yamaha sucks

    Rossi is a stud muffin, (My cougar wife likes him, 'n we named our cat after him.) butt Yamaha does suck. They've always been the slowest bikes, butt handled best, and now they're the slowest bikes, 'n handling is the same or worse; on hot, or cold days. (Wut's up wit dat?) That 'n the fact...

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    Been rock'in a Beltronics Pro 300 fer last 3 to 4 years. It's saved me plenty of times; purdie much every time I ride or drive anywhere. Was running a wire from the unit to helmet, 'til this spring when I broke down and bought a SENA. Since the RD isn't Bluetooth, I bought a couple TaoTronic BT...

    Lumpkin Ridge Road

    Back in fall of 2013 or '14? I rode it on mah beautiful '07 black cherry. T'wuz, gnarly, cuz I got lost, (Took a wrong turn 'n ended up on a dead end logging road; something's Bar.) was all hot 'n bothered, dehydrated, my rear brake was sticking, (Too much dirt in the pivot shaft.) I'd blown a...

    T31GT tire combo (deal)

    Dunno 'bout wear, but the turn in, and grip are better then the T30s. T30s were my fave too, butt now the T31s are.

    The stock seat

    Different strokes fer different folks. Mine came w/ a heated leather Corbin, and I hated it. Got a Sargent that was a little better, but didn't like it either. So far, I like the stock seat best. (Butt haven't tried a Laam or Russel.) I usually stand on the pegs every hour or so, and can ride...

    The one BMW thing I miss

    Got rid of my Bring Mor Wallet 8 years ago, and I really miss checking valves every 6K mi. Draining oil, (Or wuz it tranny fluid?) where the drain plug is right above the hot exhaust pipe. Miss something breaking, failing, or falling off on every ride. Miss the weak sauce paint shaker motor...

    Which shim kit for 2015 FJR1300

    There's nuth'in wrong w/ Hot Cams, butt, as other have mentioned, some of the "kits" are lame. (Went through this recently where I bought a kit for my FZ6, 'n needed to loosen up 7 exhaust. Could only use one frum kit, ran to MC store, 'n they had four, and got the mechanic to kick down the...
