    Unlucky day today

    If you know how radar detectors work and the how the legal system operates you can speed your butt off.....I'm not talking doing a 100mph man! I'm talking about cops giving tickets for 22 in 20 in a school zones or tickets for 71 in a 65....Yea, that's what's happening and the reason is traffic...

    How does $109/yr sound?

    Like I said, I'm having LOJACK installed, so the thief issue isn't there.....and as far as wrecking it, I have to total the bike out and it'd have to be my fault too for this to be a losing proposition. Otherewise, in 5 years I'd paid more in insurance premiums than my bike is worth!!! Let me...

    Unlucky day today

    Sorry for your misfortune,,,I suggest the immediate appropriate action. 1. You need to get a lawyer to fight the ticket for ya..If you don't know one in that area, look on the back of the ticket for a phone # for the Judges Court...Call up the Judge's Assistant and ask her if she could give you...

    How does $109/yr sound?

    Earth calling Mars, Come in Mars...... The $109 was for LIABILITY ONLY!!!!! And I'm talking Dallas, Texas here...the 2nd highest city in Texas to insure a vehicle in!!!

    Look you bunch of numbnuts...I've been an insurance agent for 30 years and it's all a crock of dung!!!! All this what happens if this happens and then that happens as far as I'm concerned is idiot sales BS the insurance industry has brainwashed insurance agents to use for years... Personally, I...

    06 mileage after Barbarian jumper mod

    Who cares about the MPG or the cost of gas. It's how fast it can go from 0-60 is my main concern.......Otherwise, I'd be waiting for a Vespa!!!!

    06 Twitchy Throttle fix--unplug o2 sensor?

    I've never seen so many issues with a bike.....throttle pulls, rebalancing the carbs, PC3s, O2s, Mapping, etc.....The 06 is starting to sound like a pig in a poke to me!!!All I wanted was I bike I didn't have to screw with, that's why I cancelled my deposit on an 06 BMWGT (I was first in line)...

    SkooterG's Tire Milestone

    I don't understand this conversation.......who cares about the price of tires when it comes to saving your arse....In prospective, it cost more to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant than you'd spend on a new tire....and your riding on cords? Holy excretion batman!

    It's been a BAD day

    Don't know if kids are involved here, but if so, you'll find this amuzing... When someone puts in for Child Support, the proper thing to do is to find out who the father is and see why he is not providing support. The following are all replies that Dallas women have written on Child Support...

    Neither my left or right mirror vibrates, however my rear view mirror has vibrated completely off!

    It's been a BAD day

    If you wife gets herself a mean ass woman divorce lawyer like mine did, you might want to start referring to your bike as your wife's FJR, just to get used to the idea......If that happens, tell her it's worth $500 and she can post it in here for sell and at least one of us will be the...

    To file a claim or not file a claim

    Everyone forgets one big factor here...and that is the big computer in the sky (CLUE) which tracks all your claims for the insurance industry..Yea, one claim probably won't do much, but make a 2nd one? I suggest you'd be in big trouble...Ask your underwriter about this scenario and watch her...

    Where to get 20w-40 oil?

    I'll try to make this so clear even you guys who are tighter than ****'s hatband might understand.....The dealers have two prices for their clients. One price is for those who have all thier service work done there which includes lower labor cost not to mention some freebies thrown in (checking...

    Where to get 20w-40 oil?

    I can't believe someone would buy an FJR, the best motorcycle made, then sit around and worry about the price of oil for it...what does it hold anyway, 5 or 6 measly quarts? BWHWHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH If your that financially distraught , take your food stamps down and trade em to one of the...

    Just wanted to say hello quickly

    Welcome to the world of motorcycles.....it's a world in itself. Very addicting, very exciting and very mentally stimulating.....I've been riding for 40 years, owned a bike since I was 13....my last bike, a V-65 magna I bought new in 83, got a wild hair up my arse and sold it a couple months...

    Why Idiots Should Ride the AE

    If you can, look at it in this perspective, I'd still be ahead of the game if I did dump the bike the first year of ownership barring totaling it...Don't think so huh? Well, let's compare what would happen to me with a $75yr liability only vs you with a $700/yr policy for full coverage...

    Why Idiots Should Ride the AE

    You're exactly right, most dealer’s will install lojack for a couple of 3 or 4 hundred bucks and as I understand it, there's no monthly fee. It's a one time cost...Sounds like a great deal to me, as personally, I choose to carry just the basic liability insurance which runs around $75-$90/yr, as...

    Traffic Surfin

    Oh yes, I left out one little detail....most all Harley riders ride armed, I'm talking 45 Cal autos here.....and the shooting you hear about? Don't ever involve the motorcyclist being the stiff!!!! Again, don't f--K with guys on HDs...Most are Vietnam Vets, and dont' give a sh-t as they've...
