80 and sunny. Good day for a ride.

If I were in charge of making $ at Yamaha this is how the Gen IV would shape up. Take a Super Tenere ES. Swap the wheels to 17" alloy front and rear. Add a larger fairing. Retune and shorten the suspension. New rear sub frame that accepts the current FJR/FJ09 bags. Slight retune of engine...

They did come out with a "street" version of the R1. The YZF-R1S available in Feb. https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/models/yzf-r1s

On their less expensive FZ's they almost always offer a choice of 2 colors. I bought a $6000 Kawasaki last year and had a choice of 3 colors. Their C14 had 2 color choices.

And air conditioning.

https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/strap-wrenches I have one of these I have used successfully when disassembling forks on smaller bikes. Never tried it on the FJR though.

I noticed no 2016 FZ-1 model either. I'm guessing there won't be one. Too close to the FZ-09 I guess.

You're just not trying hard enough.

Thanks for stirring the pot

Don't know whose bike it was, but someone at the Reuben Run last weekend had extensions on their hydraulic lines. don't know the particulars though. Don't even remember for sure if it was an FJR. Looked easier than replacing entire line though.

RR was a great event. Enjoyed meeting new friends and old acquaintances. And when I say old don't take it personally. Made it home yesterday afternoon around 4. The ride up was cold and wet and the ride home was hot and dry. Didn't take many pics but here are a few. Finally made it to Oregon...

347 miles away. See you tomorrow afternoon.

Pretty much describes every route I have taken across Nevada. Best thing about Nevada is it ain't Kansas. At least there's a little scenery.

Condolences Greg. Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.

Why was Mayberry so peaceful? Because----no one was married! Here are the single people of Mayberry: Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd (the barber), Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Ernest T. Bass, the Darlin' Family, Helen, Thelma Lou and Clara.....all single! In fact, the only one who was...

Even has the 2015 ECU!

Sounds like nice cool riding weather. My favorite. If anyone else is heading up from the southeast, I will be at the Town House Motel in Winnemucca Wednesday night and heading to La Pine Thursday morning.

Excuse previous post. My cell phone doesn't want to play nice with this forum for some reason. Question I wanted to ask was, don't they have booze in Oregon?

If you had a KLR you would already know where all the local fastener suppliers are. Instead of dropping nuts and bolts in the garage they tend to do it on the road.
