    dead hands, burning buns 06 FJR

    Bob, It's not every day that fellow commuters get to see someone on a crotch rocket doing the Hokie-Pokie, but then isn't "that's what it's all about?" :yahoo: I do much the same thing. Sitting on the back seat and dangling my legs or sitting to one side and dangling a leg. I do stand up...

    Wilber Failures?

    So tell me Steve, does this mean you are developing a leak :dribble:

    Wilber Failures?

    Not surprising - the wait. Been there, done that :angry2: If I hurry up and send it in, hope to get it back before WFO6. I didn't throw out the OEM shock, so I'm not totaly 'grounded'. Just pisses me off because there aren't that many miles on this shock.

    Motorcycle tires as nail magnets

    I knew you were getting on in years :lol: Talk about your short term memory... Now that I have my snow blower, there won't be any...

    Motorcycle tires as nail magnets

    I use Ride-On tire sealant. It works great! It's kinda like taking an umbrella to work. Doesn't rain. We had a lot of snow here in Denver this year, so I bought a snow blower/thrower. I got a monster 9 h.p. (better Mojo). It only snowed once after that. Before I bought the blower it...

    dead hands, burning buns 06 FJR

    Two hundred and fifty miles? First thing you gotta do is break in that old ass of yours. Mine is a year older, so I know all about that. Two fifty is a good start though. You have to get the body accustomed to the bike. I had a bit of burn between the shoulder blades and sore wrists when I...

    Wilber Failures?

    Thanks guys, I thought I was getting a 'phatt' spring on mine, since I'm no lightweight, sometimes bring the wife (she's pretty trim) and had intended to continue pulling a trailer, but did not since I purchased a Wing for the heavy haulin'. I was pretty surprised at the spring, which after a...

    Wilber Failures?

    Anyone have a problem with their Wilber shocks. I have the one with a remote setting. Today I thought I would take her for a spin, since it's in the high 40's. I started her up and wheeled her around the garage to check and fill up the tires and I noticed a trail of liquid that had dripped...

    OFFICIAL LAUNCH: WFO-6 Web site!

    Now Mike - get a grip! On second thought, don't go there :) Actually, we won't take up that much space, maybe two spaces each. About the same as a small car. My Wing likes to cuddle with the FJR at home, so it's FJR friendly. Check out my pictures and you will see what I mean. So far...

    NO GOLDWINGS ALLOWED! Just kidding of course. Now there will be two GW riders to pick on, since I'm riding mine also.

    Decisons...decisions....

    Steve, I may be wrong about this, so don't take my word for it, but I thought the Euro and Oz FJRs were a year 'behind' the Yank FJRs. In 2002 Yamaha released FJRs for sale in the USA, but they were called 2003 models. If nothing has changed, I would think that the 05/06 Oz bikes would be...

    Fairing Racing Stripes

    A while back (last year) someone asked me to let them know what I thought about some helmet speakers that I was installing. Must have been someone else.

    Fairing Racing Stripes

    Hello Doc, Those stripes look real spiffy. Both the black and the red are very nice. I think a dark blue (Navy) would also be nice. Did I ever report back to you on the ED Sets? If not, sorry. After using them last summer, I can say they work very well. Good price for good stuff. Bob Vail

    WFO Players - Google Map update feature!

    Did your computer freeze up or the map just won't come up? Suggest you try to empty your brouser cache (what I relate to nuking the history files). I guess that frees up some memory. Worked for me, but now when I clicked on Players, the map came up, but not the balloons. Maybe the repair...

    WFO Players - Google Map update feature!

    Not sure, but you talking about deleting links in 'History'? I used to do that a lot when I used Windows 98 and earlier versions. I played around and discovered that I could view History and delete links via the pulldown menu up top of this page (View>History). Deleted last three weeks, so...

    WFO Players - Google Map update feature!

    I went there and put in my coordinates and submitted and the screen froze up. Had to hit cnt/alt/delete just to get computer going again. Logged back into MSN>FJRForum>WFO clicked on the players tab and darned screen froze again. Tried several times and all I get is a freeze. So I...

    Fairing Racing Stripes

    I am asking for frank and honest opinions on how the 06 AE "Flicker" looks with the reflective red stripes. Please respond with comments or suggestions, I am open-minded(most of the time!!) If you can't tell from my avitar, my favorite color is RED Dave, I think those red stripes kick butt...

    How do you get the "Leisure" rate? What does it all mean? Never heard of that one before. I sometimes ask for the 'bluehair' rate. Works most every time (I think)...
