    That's all? ;)

    throttle spring release/relief

    I ended up releasing the wrong spring (my bad :( ), then ending up with slop and a non-returning throttle. I eventually cut out the center spring and put in an after-market, straight spring. I had to drill a hole in the little bracket that holds the throttle cables to thread one end of the...

    New cruise control get flaky with time/miles

    Sounds like you're losing vacuum or you've got a leak. Go back over things, and consider a bigger can. Remember, as the throttle opens, the usable vacuum goes down. In your case, it sounds like the can isn't buffering properly. You should have a larger-diameter/volume hose on the engine side of...

    Who will be the first to have an FJR TAT?????

    FJR tattoo? That'd be silly. Bikes are transient. Hmm... in that case... Maybe I could be silly :)

    FJR featured in a commercial!!!

    It's also not the latest model. I still really like the graphic from the older ones. Poor guy. Buy a Mac and enjoy actual, ease-of-use computing ;)

    2008 FJR1300 - Dear Yamaha, this is what we want.

    Why? Seriously, why? I find I get much better gas mileage keeping the beast at or above 4k RPMs in casual cruising. The 5th gear is fine for high-speed cruising, and with the amount of torque this engine slams down on the street, there's really no need to add more, closer-ratio gears and more...

    145mph with passenger yesterday

    I got nailed by the WV Speedometer Calibration Squad for 95 in a 70 the other day. Fortunately, I'd already dropped 20-25 mph when I saw the car. This bike could seriously get a person in trouble :(

    New Comfort Seat on Yamaha Site

    That Yamaha Comfort seat looks a *lot* like the Sargent that Chips just got, including the description of the Carbon Fibre pattern. Hmm...

    Possible FJR paint job

    If I get the FJR painted, I'm likely going with Honda Goldwing Yellow, or the slightly deeper (1995) Honda Magna Yellow.

    Brother bought a 2007 Goldwing

    I think that when (not if) I buy a Golding, I might spring for a keychain. Maybe some driving lamps, tho' the stock lighting is good. Maybe... MAYBE... a tow hitch. Maybe. People laugh at Harley Guys © , but I gotta tell you the Goldwing subculture is *almost* as bad when it comes to senseless...

    Buddy wants 07 silver... willing to go w/electro shift???

    Tell him to buy the Black Cherry and I'll trade out my blue tupperware. I love the Black Cherry.

    What Camera do you own?

    I just bought a digital rebel eos XTi. LOVE IT. Before that, I had a Canon S1-IS. Great little feature set on that one.

    Why do you think the cagers (that dislike us) dislike us?

    Isn't it, more specifically, not disallowed?

    Need advice on FJR I saw today

    I generally agree. Ya'll should make a deal. I could deliver it for him.

    Wipe out

    *jedi mind trick* You only fault the bikers. This is not the car-driving-******** you're looking for. What he should have said was something like, "If these bikes weren't illegally racing on public streets, then they never would have fallen victim to this stupid driver's mishap while he was...
