    the day has come, sold FJR

    Nada trade-in for a 2014 in good condition. Is $6,030. And that’s what I just got for a bike with 84,000 miles on it. Traded it on a 2018. OP- don’t be a stranger. You don’t have to ride FJR to hang with us.

    A Moment That Gives You Pause

    I got home one day years ago, and one of my youngest came out crying and told me he was sorry. He had painted me a picture with a rock on the door of the suv. His mother knew his best chance at survival was a preemptive strike. She was right. I couldn’t be mad at the little guy.

    Dropped it

    Ive been knocked down once, and laid it down at almost no speed by not paying attention doing a 360 into a parking space. Thanks to t-Rex bag guards and r&g sliders, zero damage. To the bike...

    Coast To Coast - 29 Hours 23 Minutes Ride Report

    Philter- I don't speak for the IBA, but I have several rides certified, some that were done at a brisk but responsible pace. The IBA does not condone or put up with reckless behavior, but it requires participants to understand that motorcycle riding is a risky pursuit. A ride will not normally...

    What do you do, Jack?

    I bought a used calsci. Didnt fit. No way it was going on my bike. And I thought it might be the replacement for Cee Bailey.

    Perhaps. But like Art, when I get a tire sale email from my tried and true vendor, I often click and buy. When I get an email from a random vendor, I usually delete. <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Fred W" data-cid="1407379" data-time="1539682879"><p> You type in any...

    PR4-GT vs. PR5?

    My 5s are feeling great. Too soon to tell how theyll wear.

    It’s like they’re on a self destruct mission to shed existing customers through name changes. I’ve used them for tires for years.

    2019 FJR1300

    If the ‘19 were that color, we’d be axe fighting each other for US stock. I’m still waiting for the actual ‘19 color. I love the matte blue of the ‘18, but I wouldn’t mind waiting another year before I had to go through the process of stripping what I can off the ‘14 and buying new stuff for the...

    Yamaha comfort seat

    There has been more than one version of this seat. It used to sell for a higher price. I loved my Yamaha comfort seat. It was a huge improvement over the stock seat. glws

    Earplugs: just me?

    Out of curiousity, from this thread, I ordered ear peace plugs. Nice packaging. Nice aluminum holder. Very comfortable. Like not even wearing plugs. And there was the problem. With the two lower level inserts, sound reduction at speed was imperceptible. With the highest (Black) inserts, the...

    Slippery seat problem.

    Lexol will fix you right up. And it’s good for the seat. Will make it supple and slightly tacky.

    Earplugs: just me?

    Generic foam plugs do all this for me.
