    Split: Off-topic about Nevada, Gears, and Other Stuff

    We need (desperately) a 7th gear.... sorta. Reverse. Yamaha should make it like Ski Doo snogos; the engine should reverse rotation.

    5 speed vs 6 speed

    I have a 2013 with a five speed and have not found myself wishing I had another gear...., but what could it hurt? If they made a hash of the gear ratios, then the six speed would be something to be avoided, but there haven't been any complaints about the six speed that I have.

    BMW Posts Sales Record For 2018

    Okay, but before I go for the juggler, when you wrote - overweighted pigs of today - were you talking about BMWs or John and me?

    Riding motorcycle with child

    Francis here. Pointing out that you rode with your dad or your child rode with you is similar to bragging that you smoked for 30 years and did not get lung cancer.... yet. Should the worst happen and your son be seriously injured or killed participating in what we all acknowledge is risky...

    Riding motorcycle with child

    damianomigani that is a very bad idea. A four year old is at a stage of development that makes the injuries likely in a minor accident devastating. There is no protective gear that will fit the child or any contrivance you come up with that will protect him adequately. I consider what to are...

    Defer maintenance 1000 miles?

    I believe it just may be that this was less a recommendation than it was a fiat from their CFO. Most riders, including FJR riders are not much like the riders you see on this and other forums. I know three other FJR owners here in podunk Montana. None of them have a clue about working on...

    Quite the cadre of cafe racers.. No?

    I doubt they would ever actually ride the bikes. They would be stuck in an endless discussion about the existence of motorcycles in a meaningless world.

    Defer maintenance 1000 miles?

    Oh, I disagree. I recomend changing most of the fluids before riding it much. If it is important to you that your services line-up with the odometer, then ride the extra 1000 miles at the end of the first service you do. I'd be particularly worried about the brake fluid and especially the ABS...

    New smart helmet

    No mention of how well the helmet functions as a helmet. Interesting idea but the price does make me suspicious of the quality of the helmet and the technology. It seems that prior attempts to market smart helmets have faded away, but they were far more expensive. You should buy this and then...

    2018 - A true Candy Butt Association Year (moto miles)

    I understood Ray (Money spent ?????????????? Ask Don for the pictures) to mean for Don to show us the pictures of the cash that was spent on the restoration. It will probably take a wide angle lens, but money well spent for sure.
