    Into trying new things? Think SPA!

    Thanks TC for the Initial Post and the Link to the cone patterns. I wonder if any of the “local” in the Golden area might be able to help put a skills training area together for NAFO. Cones can be rented if we could find a space and possibly a sponsor to cover the cost of the cone rental and...

    Advice on settlement offer

    Since when (or maybe where) is loss of use of a vehicle NOT a recoverable expense?????

    Into trying new things? Think SPA!

    That is some very interesting information. My guess is that many if not most of us are not as GOOD as we think we are….(or once were) and without practicing the skills….well the probability of using them effectively in a panic situation decreases. I would have to add that if you practice the...

    Swivelwheel trailer

    +1 to vectervp1 and Big-B about it being dependent on different state laws; and Andre on two trailers not being a big deal as long as everything is designed appropriately for that application. I remember seeing a few different swivelwheel trailers on the road back in the 60’s and could never...

    Warranty from Yamaha USA for bike imported into Canada

    That would be pretty suckie PR if the dealer failed to honor the Warranty. I would think that unless the warranty specifically identifies out of country registration, then they would have to honor it. It is a part of the purchase contract. IMHO

    Factory Recall

    Sucks that you didn’t get the notices in the mail from Yamaha…..so you could have taken it to the local dealer for the fixes….

    Following someone home will get you killed

    Shot in the back.... self defense...... it would take some serious "Good ol boy" justice to connect those dots....... IMHO It would be interesting to see if any unbiased witnesses to the “Initial Contact” can shed some light on what really happened….. Either way two lives ruined by a...

    NAFO ain't your daddy's WFO!

    Fuel Injection Problem with Magnetic Tank Bags

    This thread has got to be a contender for the MOST OFF TRACT thread in the history of the Forum…… and yet so intertaining…

    Fuel Injection Problem with Magnetic Tank Bags

    Those guys would fit right in with this thread!!! They are about as scientific as a group of unsupervised 3rd graders….. IMHO

    Fuel Injection Problem with Magnetic Tank Bags

    Magna res est vocis et silentii temperamentum – DUE TO ITS TECHNICAL NATURE, I can see now why this thread has not been moved off to the Jokes and Fun Stuff area of the Forum…… FWIW, I did buy myself a magnet tank bag today long before I got here to examine the Forum’s words of wisdom… Now if...

    Fuel Injection Problem with Magnetic Tank Bags

    This thread has gone pretty much as I expected……. I don’t care what anyone says……. There is absolutely no shortage on FeeJeeR Masters with a funny, if not totally warped sense of humor. Some of these empirical explanations make me wonder if some of you guys have had a little too much...

    Calling all midlife riders

    Ditto here Hard for me to imagine being with out a bike. Started riding when I was 14 (middle aged by today’s standards for starting) and have owned a bike ever since. While I was living in the jungle, dodging lots of bullets, I couldn’t ride, but I knew I had one in storage at home…. I played...

    Fuel Injection Problem with Magnetic Tank Bags

    Okay, at a visit to a brand X dealership (continuing my quest for the right tank bag) I was informed that BMW has issued a technical bulleting advising against the use of magnetic tank bags on there bikes because it can interfere with the fuel injection system. News to me but so is a LOT of...

    Throttlemeister Owners

    I have the regular throttlemeisters and no problem. I do recommend the bullet style as opposed to the smooth one. IMHO worth the few extra $$ (Vista Cruise still too far down on the list of items competing a limited budget…)

    I'm Selling the FJR and Going Back to a Wing...

    That much mass in that much motion???????? Sounds like a recipe for disaster….. I loved my GW for open highway cruising, but I couldn’t live without the twisties……and responsiveness, hence my FeeJeer.
