    2007 FJR1300AE: First Month's Costs

    I am amazed that the government has required warning labels on the FeeJeeR due to it’s obvious link to almost incurable addiction….

    Accident depreciation?

    Don’t forget the damage to your helmet!!! In many states you would be entitled to recover any loss that you incurred due to the other person’s liability, including personal injury (which thankfully you did not have)[if you had been injured, you would be entitled to medical cost, loss of wages...

    Tank Bags Magnetic vs Strap Mount

    Sorry no experience with their tank bags, but I just ordered this tail bag from Fieldsheer. It's supposed to show up today so I'll post some info when I've had a chance to try it out. It seems to be pretty well made. From what I could tell from playing with one at a dealer, they seem well...

    Riding Weather in Oregon this weekend!!!!!

    It is supposed to be in/close to 60’s in Bend also… but I live in L A Pine…. Where there are two feet of snow on the ground and more than a mile of packed ice between me and the closest dry pavement………. DID I mention that there is also two feet of snow over, and around my trailer as well……...

    Dammit, I'm smarter than that!

    I was thinking $17.4k was high until I look to see where Bungie resides……Then I looked at the current exchange rate....... REALLY sucks that Yamaha is so proud of the FJR in Canada….

    Watched my FJR ride away today

    I guess I must be rather possessive when it comes to my bikes. I have never let anyone other than the occasional mechanic ride my road bikes. Dirt bikes…. well that was a different matter and somehow seemed okay. That is an incredible amount of trust in your friend.

    Tank Bags Magnetic vs Strap Mount

    I like the features on their Eiffel Tank Bag, even though I would never use the full stack together; just way too large for me. https://www.fieldsheer.com/2008site/IE/prod...ffelTankBag.htm The magnetic base has a map compartment and small zippered bag so it can be run alone, the big section...

    Anyone have any experience with a Fieldsheer tank bag?

    Tank Bags Magnetic vs Strap Mount

    The Cortech 21 liter is definitely on my short list….. Thanks for the additional info about the DUAL bases. Andre’s input and photos has been extremely helpful as well.

    Tank Bags Magnetic vs Strap Mount

    While I will be pleasantly surprised if I get it perfectly right on the first try, I do want to get at least close on my first attempt and of course not damage the bike. I am off to the valley [PDX] this week so I hope to be able to check a few out up close and personal. {One of the problems of...

    altitude sickness

    NW- OR & Wash Cascades have been getting hit heavy this year also…. 125 – 200% and the worst avalanche conditions in two decades……

    Ignition Failures

    Sounds like it might be prudent to do a little preemptive wiring (id est installing M-F connectors) to make on the road hot wiring less of a hassle if needed. I know that FJRay made that modification when he had his switch problems.

    Tank Bags Magnetic vs Strap Mount

    I hope to have my purchase figured out and ordered by the end of this month. That monster TriBag might be larger than I want. +’s and –‘s ….. why is nothing ever as simple as it seem??????

    Burleigh would be proud!!! Cheap factor way up!!!

    I was lucky enough to survive my youthful days of jeans, t-shirt and tennis shoes…..helmet optional…..etc….. But of course then I was YOUNG, BULLET PROOF and KNEW IT ALL!!!!!

    Tank Bags Magnetic vs Strap Mount

    Both of my current rides have steel tanks, but I doubt I would ever use it on the other bike…. The convenience of have a bag that can go magnetic to strap does have some appeal….. who know what I might have in a couple of years….. Thanks for the heads up on the dual base system

    Burleigh would be proud!!! Cheap factor way up!!!

    The reason I wanted to look up my Rx for my regular reading glasses is so that if the magnification factor is very different between my left/right (id est .25 or greater) is that I would buy two sets of the Optx 20/20… .one at each magnification range. (I looked in my records and do not have...

    Burleigh would be proud!!! Cheap factor way up!!!

    Sounds like it should be worth a $15 investment on my part….. I need to find my Rx for my glasses so I can get a better idea of the strength of magnification to order… I would hope to get them to work on my Gargoyles unless I also have an adhesion problem. If I do then I would try them on my...

    altitude sickness

    Very good point!!! I used to go from a couple hundred feet in Portland to 9K on top of Mt Bachelor in just a few hours and never had a problem. Now I live at 4250 feet and still don’t anticipate a problem….. I always stay well hydrated and listen to my body…. most of the time anyway…
