My dealer has a TPS shortage too. Maybe he's just lazy? Seems like a high liability in the unlikely event that someone crashes because of a faulty TPS, now that it is an actual recall.

I'm a big-time video gamer. But the last time I updated my home PC was for Max Payne, made my old system crawl. Oops, I forgot the X1300 Pro card I popped in to help display larger Lightwave models. I really try to avoid PC games and stick to PS2, XBox 360, and now PS3 games. The issue is...

More shameless self-promotion of my airhead restoration blog (slowing to about 1x/week posting) -- https://penforhire.wordpress.com

I haven't sniped but I am tempted. I've been sniped too often. I would agree with the "bid the max you willing to pay" argument except that I believe there are too many shill-bids, people bidding up their own goods.

Thanks MKO. Just check in on my blog once in a while and you see what NOT to do. :) Your R100RS is a great model. Does this look familiar? I saw it at the same Norton club meeting (too many pics to post all) --

I saw at least three other FJR's in or around today's Norton club meet in Pasadena, CA. Anyone from here? There were more non-Norton classics at this meet than Nortons. :) Some of the restorations were museum-quality to my eye. There was one Vincent that just makes me quiver, thinking of...

I don't like to think about the farkle-trickle out of my wallet. If I laid it out so clinically at the start maybe I'd never have bought mine. Don't overanalyze. Just buy it!

If you're going to have the tank up anyway you might as well look at the plugs and reseat the wires. My stock plugs were looking pitted and a bit ugly at 4K, though 2K sure does sound early.

I was at the Long Beach IMS show today and chatted with a fellow selling the Fi2000 (website fi2000r.com). They are selling a simplified possible alternative to the PCIII. It only adjusts fuel/air ratio in three throttle "zones" and he admitted the full-throttle adjustment for a FJR was zero...

Yep, most of us wear something underneath textile riding pants. I usually wear shorts under my Motoport pants but sometimes long pants to reduce knee-chafe on my armor or if especially cold weather. On a really hot day I might strip off the riding pants when we're hanging out somewhere mid-ride.

If I rode a HD I wouldn't mess with some head-eater cannibal!

Hippo hands! Sure, they look like they work but every time I scratch myself (or otherwise need a free hand) I'd be over a second away from the controls? No way. Gerbings G3 gloves for me (plus the Vstrom hand guard mod).

Time for a new monitor. My neighbor down on the cube farm had a screaming monitor, only he couldn't hear that frequency. Gave me a splitting headache and he didn't get a new monitor there would have been midnight violence done to his old one...

Well, there may not be THAT much lag but there is an abruptness in my '05 (no idea about the '06). Many reported PCIII helps. I am so-far too cheap and I live with a lot of focus on my throttle transitions, especially if deeper in any turn (having blown the entry somehow, it happens).

I got a refurbished 2610 for my wife's Xmas present from getfeetwet.com. I'm thinking it was $385 plus shipping. I have to wait 'till Xmas to see if I like it...

My buddy has hyperlights on his K-RS. I'm not impressed during the day but they are better than nothing.

I'll be there, hopefully Sat morning.

I got a refurbed 2610 as a gift for my wife from getfeetwet.com. I feel pretty confident about it but I'll know better after Xmas...

$87 is pretty cheap if it works! Of course the Kenwood radios are overpriced (I've got a TK-3101 but it is nothing special for its price).

That's one dumb-lucky biker! I have zero tolerance for evaders. What, let them get away? To endanger the public some other day? Hell no! Sure, I'd prefer LEO's to use some engine-disabling device (in the works) but until then, pursue!
