Thanks for the linky...........I just bought the one on eBay.

Is that the same jacket Michael Jackson wore in the "Beat It" video.............? LOL..................! Where's my bike?

Tony, Any idea when mine is coming in?

You wuss.............! I was in Hilton Head a few weeks back for a meeting. Six of us are staying at a buddy's house, right on the ocean. Well, long story short, we'd been playing golf that afternoon and consuming adult beverages. Then, we're laying by the pool. Next thing you know, it's...

The technology is definetely here. I work for Volvo Trucks North America as the District Sales Manager for the Southeast region and we've been using that technology for years. Eaton and Meritor both have automated gearboxes. It started in the mid-90s with semi-auto gearboxes. You still had...

1. Always under control. 2. Decisive and well exacuted double-line passes. 3. Nice tempo - never too hard on throttle or brakes. 4. The kind of rider I like to ride with. 5. Dude in red helmet near the end of the video - the kind of rider that makes me what to ride alone! 6. Road must have...

While picking out my new Arai Corsair ( settled on a Hayden Laguna Replica ) yesterday at the bike show in Atlanta, the guy helping me asked me what I rode. Told him I was anxiously waiting the arrival of my FJR. So another fellow also buying a new Arai speaks up and say "me too...!". Small...

Sparky, I also play in the dirt, currently abusing an '06 KTM XC450, which I should be doing right now, come to think of it. You mentioned a 250....not sure how old your bike is, but I would definetely recommend a full suspension job and a steering dampner. I"m 6'0 - 210lbs and my bike feels...

When I first got my 05 FJR back in June of 06 (used) Time warp........no wonder your bike feels slow!

That's everything I ever wanted to know....................! Thanks,

My last sportbike was a 2000 R1. Now it seems that all front brake calipers are radially mounted. My pea brain can't seem to come up with a benefit for this set-up. I'm thinking that maybe only a very small amount of reduction in caliper flex would be the only benefit. What's the advantage...

DD, When are you getting your susp re-worked? Please keep us updated. I'm a waiter on an '06 (first time FJR'er) and after much research, I've basically settled on the very suspension mods you're doing. Thanks,

Glock 36, compact and easily concealable and chambered in .45ACP, carried on inside jacket pocket. Yeah, I know, it'll only hold (6) rounds, but that why I also carry my Glock 21 in one of my bags. Never thought about carrying until about (5) years ago, traveling solo on the Bimmer, got...

I lived in Asheville, NC (milepost 358 on BRP) for a few years, so perhaps I can help you. As mentioned, temps and road conditions vary greatly on both BRP and SLD. I was in the area last week and there's still a fair amount of snow on the "backside" of the mountains, where there is little or...

A bit off topic, but Pirelli must be trying to strengthen their position in NA. Just last week, they were at Durhamtown Plantation (dirtbike mecca in GA) installing free tires, that's a full set - front and rear, on all bikes, if you wanted them. Of course, I was there the week before. If I'm...

Nicely done......bravo!

7 - Damn it.........I knew I forgot something. Thanks for the info, I'll assume that with the correct phone, you can place and receive a call hands-free. Thanks again,

BE, Nice set-up. My first FJR is due in April and I'm beginning to acquire my farkles. I'd like to confirm a couple of items with your rig; 1- You're using Starcom Advance. 2- V1 wired thru Starcom. 3- 2730 wired thru Starcom. 4- Do you have an MP3 ( iPod ) connected? If not, is it...

The original question still beckons..........is the R1LE a real value, from a performance component standpoint - not potential collectable value, or are you better off buying a stock R1 and upgrading yourself? I suspect the R1LE is a real deal. Then again, I paid $8,800.00 OTD for my last R1...

Ditto. As Tony mentioned numerous times, the PDP simply guarantees a bike to everybody who wants one, which ain't a bad thing. Luckily for me, there are great dealers, like Tony, out there with the foresight to order extra machines for the late buyers, like me. I too am looking forward to...
