    So you don't want a speeding ticket huh?

    1. Get a H.A.R.D.S. wireless remote with LED Helmet light in your visor along with a Passport 8500 .......www.legalspeeding.com 2. Put a Passort ZR3 Lasar Jammers on your bike..... You do these 2 things and all I can say is I WISH THE FUZZ GOOD LUCK.... Cause to hit a motorcycle with Laser is...

    71 year old cage driver

    All insurance does is protect assets...and at 72 you'd do her a favor by taking her for her auto insurance limits plus everything she's worth. That way she'll at least qualify for Medicare to pay for her nursing home expenses for the rest of her life...The way you should look at it is better you...

    71 year old cage driver

    Contact a lawyer immediately......this serious of an accident should be good for you to collect on her full policy limits....Let's hope she has carries a $1,000,000 limit....... P.S. Without a lawyer, you're gonna get screwed....I'm talking $25K maybe....

    Come on....I only ride on Sunday and I'm talking earyly in the morning. I head out around 6 am up I 30 north and hit the 2 lane country backroads up to and around Farmersville and I'm usually back by 9:00 or so.....Pretty kewl, nowheresville definately has its advantages, that's what I call it...

    On the more serious side, that's all I do is Sport riding. I do NO, I repeat NO TOURING as I have a real nice car if I want to go somewhere. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the AE shifting aspect for high speed sport riding.....the quickness of being able to downshift so fast, thus use...

    Is picking your nose while riding something all you “A” owners have in common with each other or what? No wonder most of you have flip up helmets....I've always wondered about that.

    The results from my experiment are in

    I agree, but you might want to find a real good reason to try to make a quick down shift going into a slow speed 15 mph turn without having to disengage your left foot from being anchored against the crankcase in order to get to the shifter, not to mention having to move your left hand up and...

    The results from my experiment are in

    This morning, I set up an experiment in a totally control environment to duplicate the shifting of both the A and the AE.......What was involved was sitting on a parked bike an mimicking shifting of both models for a 10 second period....The results I found to be astonishing... I was able to...

    Interested in a farkle for a favor? Need a test ride on a FJR

    First of all, the AE has a clutch. It's just button, rather than a 6 inch lever that requires 3lbs of pressure to pull in before you foot's toe has to find the shifter and position itself either under it or over it to exert pressure upwards or downwards motion to finalize the shift.......And you...

    Interested in a farkle for a favor? Need a test ride on a FJR

    Thanks starcruiser, but I don't want to consider a auto flip yet! I am into high-tech myself, but I don't care for a MC without a clutch to be used on demand. I prefer the control to engage (or not) at will to use the braking power of the engine (and plain common sense). With computer control...

    Interested in a farkle for a favor? Need a test ride on a FJR

    If you wanta test ride the lastest in technology, get on an AE.....I guarentee you there ain't that much difference between yanking on a clutch lever of a BWM, VMAX or an FJR A...

    Bike down, totaled slider, frame damaged, 15 mph

    I've found all the interesting to say the least, but I still have one major problem, and that is I'm not gonna have a slider on my bike that will result in the bike being a total loss being involved in a 15 MPH wipe out....... AS an insurance agent, any crasg involving resulting in a cracked...

    Bike down, totaled slider, frame damaged, 15 mph

    Here's my .02....I just ordered my R&G sliders and bar ends from Vancosports to replace my beautiful Skyways on my 06AE. Insurance wise, I carry Liability only and I really really don't want to have to mess with a cracked frame due to slow speed tip over, which appears would be very likely with...

    Houston, we have a problem.

    Just got off the phone with DynaJet's Customer service who verified Dale Walker's claim that you can't get a Power Commander for an 06 FJR yet, and that's a must have if you want his 4-2 header system.. DynaJet estimates PCs will be availible in another 4-6 weeks, but the real problem is, you...

    Frustration obtaining an FJR1300

    Thanks for the private message...I figured such....but if they'd done that to me, I'd be posting it all over the damn internet, instead of making people do backflips to get it out of me... You wouldn't be interested in buying a 20 yr old Jaguar would you?

    Frustration obtaining an FJR1300

    I'll reply privately with details ... but two of the issues are service cost (Even my Harley service is less!) and dealer scarcity. If you ride a Harley, you're used to dealerships every couple of miles or so. Trust me, there are huge stretches of the USA where they haven't seen a BMW in years...

    Frustration obtaining an FJR1300

    I'd love to hear firsthand someone's hands on experience with BMW's service, as I was very close to buying an 06GT but I got weird vibes coming from the dealer. That's how I ended up with the FJR.... Please elaborate on what you experienced with the Beemer to have become so frustrated, if you...

    +1 on the AE.........You'd have to put a gun to my head to go back to a manual shifting bike..

    Offer him $1800, and see if he bits, I wouldn't offer him any more than $1900 no matter what.

    There is an new 06 AE sitting on the floor at Motion Sports in Dallas, Texas (214) 503-6262 ask for Steve (the owner) he's just greedy enough he might make a deal if he doesn't have to pay his salesman a comiss.........anyway, the reason the bikes still sitting there is I think they're asking...
