Hey! All I did was post one little message saying "eh, it's an ok bike". Ya'll extrapolated your own messages from that ;) It's the poor Arm Chair General who blames the messenger (or some **** like that) :lol:

The dramatic phrasing and inflection is supposed to drive the point home. Makes me want to drive the point of a screw driver into his skull.

Uhm... no disrespect, but you're on the wrong bike. You want the 'Wing or the K1200LT. That isn't what the FJR is about.

How much you wanna bet that if he *knew*, he'd have crashed, bailed or just f'd up the landing. His ignorance of the damage was a great confidence booster. I'd have freaked. Those guys are another level.

Me too. I *really* like the Black Cherry. My friend (Chips here on the board) has the '07 and I keep threatening to steal all his tupperware and replace it with my blue stuff. I like blue... but they're *all* blue (Silver is just blue with no tan and an identity crisis). Oil changes are a 10...

After riding a Concours, I simply have *NO* idea how anyone can drop an FJR. And I've got tiny little legs :) The FJR is a wonder, amazing machine. The first gen is fundamentally unchanged thru' all the years and the number of tickers is something like 7% of the units sold. On the upside - if...

Wow. I guess I've been lucky. Haven't needed them. Now ya'll got me paranoid.

Agreed. I just sold my Shadow Sabre and delivered it to the new owner yesterday. ~3 hour ride and my body is *STILL* aching and sore this morning. "You can't go home again", it seems.

Bikes are just getting wicked expensive.

TOM!!! Welcome aboard! Great to see you. Dude, I just quit the place. YOu should see the bizarre posts since I announced "I'm outta here". I sold my shadow. Two others on the board are getting FJRs (one just did). *snicker* PS... one of my biggest pet peeves about that place is the...

Free labor? I dunno. When I bought the Concours, they let me leave with a rear drive unit bone dry. Then they told me it was my fault when, ~600 miles later, it started whining and clicking. Then they wanted to do me a huge favor ( :rolleyes: ) and only charge me for the parts to fix it.

Just one more reason to make that one-way run across the state line. I mean really, what's Cali got going for it other than great roads, nice beaches, good weather, great skiing, hot chicks... wait... what was I saying?

If you can only afford one, get gloves. I have grips and gloves. Gloves will help warm the outside of your hand, but grips won't, thereby making you feel colder as the wind wicks away from the outer parts of your hands - no matter *what* gloves you have.

It's because of "bikers". I don't mean riders and I don't mean motorcyclists. It's because of the loud pipes and the janky attitudes. And thanks to squidly idiots doing wheelies in their flip flops and open Hawaiian shirts, people dislike non-cruiers riders, too. Juuuuuuuust great to be...

I can't believe this thread is still alive. If you want an R1, go buy one. If you want a 'Wing, go buy one. This bike ain't either of those.

I agree with Janky. Hey... What do you do for a living? Maybe I could use your services, take some of your product off your hands, but undercut your selling price by enough that if all your clients did it, you might have to bench some personnel or cut back on stock thereby making your...

MY GOD! Someone FINALLY gets it!!

I know absolutely no one with a TomTom. Everyone I know with GPS either has Garmin, or vehicle OEM.

Wow. That's pretty cool. I had absolutely no idea. Work has me out of touch with the world :(

I have several herniated discs in my lower back. I find the slight lean over much, much better for my back. The trick, as I'm sure you'll learn, is to *not* support your weight on your wrists but rather to train your body to hold yourself up with your abs and back/butt muscles. It takes time...
