    Need to ship a bike

    Try uship.com. It's a shipping auction site - like ebay for shipping. The shippers get feedback from the customers. I found a shipper on uship that shipped my new bike from Los Angeles to Austin for $375. He got it here in 3 days from the time we did the deal. His covered trailer was full...

    Traded my FJR today...

    Good for you Hamie. Glad you are able to keep riding longer this way. Keep us informed on how you like the new ride.

    Think You're a Pretty Tough Rider??

    Hardcore. I admire the adventure (as I sit on my warm couch.)

    So where do YOU park in public lots?

    +3. Get some exercise. Save your vehicles from dings.

    Ahhhh my first test ride on an FJR

    Seriously? Press charges. Guys who hit women deserve to spend some time in jail learning that this is not acceptable behavior.

    Test Ride Nightmare!! Could use some advice please...

    I agree the dealer should be insured for this type of incident. Indeed it is the vehicle that is insured, not the driver. I know this firsthand. But I don't agree with walking away. It is not reasonable that you skip away scott free. I vote for some reasonable negotiation. The dealer is...

    How do you see your GPS at night

    Can you mount it further forward? Or better, get a starcom and route the sound through it. Navigating by voice directions is safer according to a study by Tomtom.

    No difference.

    Custom paint color choices

    Nice. Did you consider the black stripe to be half as thick? In my minds eye, that would look pretty nice as well.

    Help me not get screwed please

    I've got a 2005 w/ ABS. I paid $7500 a year ago with 7000 miles. With the economy, the miles and non ABS, I think $6500 would be the ceiling on the bike you describe. I also have a ZX14. I'm using it for drag racing. I ride the FJR everywhere. Not as fast as the 14, but much more practical...

    The saga of the Vincent Black Lightning

    That's a Garmin Nuvi 720. It works well. It pointed me directly to the apple turnover for which I am grateful. ;)

    Starcom1 Digital and wireless Headset

    I don't have a problem being wired. I have the Starcom1 Advance with phone, GPS and ipod routed through it. Works quite well. If you find a wireless that works, you will have to deal with recharging the (necessarily large batteries frequently. You need several watts of power to overcome the...

    The saga of the Vincent Black Lightning

    The forecast was for beautiful weather in the magnificent Texas hill country for Halloween Saturday. I woke early with anticipation of a great ride. The weather station said 39 degrees which I noticed was the same temperature as in Denver. But I knew it was going to climp to 70 by 2pm. So, I put...

    Wheaton and I tackle the Twisty Butt Arkansas All Day 500

    Sounds like fun (except for the rain part.) I gotta get to AK some day soon.
