    Wendy Crockett - Speaking in CA and CO

    Darn it. Wish I'd seen this yesterday. Tyler, why didn't you post this TWO days in advance?

    Just sent mine off, Tyler, and thanks. Guess I'll be having a burger. Looking forward to the meet.

    Selling? Handling Test Ride Requests

    So I'll be selling my 2014 one of these days, I hope. In fact I'm "selling" it now, but so far no calls. But when I get a call, I expect somebody will want to try it out instead of handing me a wad of cash. I have a couple misgivings about that, and an appreciation for the no-test-rides rule...

    Pay It Forward

    Been meaning to put this up for some time--but you must qualify. You must have BIG FEET! Size 13 (48 Euro) Tourmaster touring style motorcycle boots. No pic, but they look like these. That style at least. I just clipped this from an ad. The boots are in good shape. Soles show very...

    West Coast Gathering (WCG) - June 15-18, 2023, Fort Bragg, CA

    tip - visit a thrift shop, find the largest stuffed bear you can, and install on the back seat. Bonus points if you can pass it off to someone headed to Hyder, AK, to join the last bear to ride on the back. Double bonus points if you take it to Hyder yourself. Heck, triple.

    No Longer Wanted Looking for right driver foot peg for 2007

    I don't have a foot peg for you, but I'm sure curious about this alligator incident. When you come back to check for results, take a minute to talk about that. Seems like it must have been a hard enough hit that it could have dumped you or broken your toe/foot/ankle. good luck with your...

    Lots of grouchy old farts here already. You'll be fine.

    Broken part confirmation

    Another veteran and victim of this STUPID design defect. The POS "stay" is buried deep under ALL the plastic and snaps like a dried out wishbone almost spontaneously. Yours looks like it's at least in an accessible place that might lend itself to a repair, even without the disassembly. I made...

    Motorcycle For Sale Good Deal on Somebody Else's 2003 R11150RT

    No prob, Ross. I thought TucsonJon and I might connect on my way out of town but it didn't work out cuz he's one of those poor souls in "pre-retirement" status. See you my next trip to Tucson, Jon.

    Motorcycle For Sale Good Deal on Somebody Else's 2003 R11150RT

    The bike was just as advertised. Clean as a whistle, everything working perfectly on the three day ride back to Sac. It's a change, going to an AE, but I'll definitely like many things about it. Couple things maybe not so much. I'm sorry not to have cruise control. It's right hand on the...

    Motorcycle For Sale Good Deal on Somebody Else's 2003 R11150RT

    Hey Tucson John, I'll be leaving somewhat earlyish (my usual departure time) on Friday. If I had a local Tucsonian to show me the best way out of town and up a fun road or two that might eventually connect with a route toward Cali, it would be cool. Unless you're one of those guys who has to...

    Motorcycle For Sale Good Deal on Somebody Else's 2003 R11150RT

    I'm leaving Weds a.m. to fly down to Tucson to pick up my 4th FJR--a super clean '09 with just 7,500 miles on the clock, and the deal's all made, so when I got a call from a friend and neighbor today offering up his bike for sale, it was too late. Darn, it would have been awful tempting. Yes...

    Seat Compatibility Between Generations

    Thanks, Matt. Probably just me.

    Seat Compatibility Between Generations

    I did look on the model comparison matrix and I can't really tell from that which other years my custom seat (that works with my 2014) will fit. Seems like it would fit on ANY newer FJR, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks.

    Tracer 9 GT--to Replace my FJR?

    It's about time to get my last motorcycle. I figure if I get a new one now it'll still be in good shape when I'm older than Joe Biden (is now), and I don't think the '14 FJR will make it all that way. It probably would be if I spent a lot of money to fix it all up, but it would still weigh...

    Krista Erica hybrid kit..

    That's what I have. It wasn't a "kit" as such, just bought them at the Clearwater lights shop nearby. Glenn recommended that setup because he said the Erica had a wider pattern and the Krista sent more light down range in a "pencil beam." It looks fine from the front. I've had one or two...
