+1 for the ECM shelf. I've got a RAM ball screwed onto it and a couple of patches of industrial Velcro for all the goodies.

Your comparison is true. One reason is a more comfortable seat-to-peg distance than some in the comparable list. The other reason, that Yamaha could have done better, is narrower side-to-side peg placement (esp. comparing my buddy's ST1300).

Yes, my local dealer just give me lip service on when I can expect a TPS.

Must depend on your region. Near Los Angeles we could get no test rides on FJR's or ST1300's. Bought my FJR just after being able to sit on one at the IMS show. But BMW and Triumph dealers near me want to throw keys at us for test rides. Go figure.

360 baby! Check out the graphics and play of Gears of War. We'll see if PS3's Resistance is up to the challenge. To me the PS3 is 25% over-priced and don't even start with game prices. Sony doesn't get it, this coming from a PS 1 & 2 owner (and Sega Genesis, N64, ...) . Enthusiasts, maybe...

iTunes is not required. Try any of the 3rd party iPod managers. I use EphPod and it works great.

How can you NOT wave at most other riders? I figure we've all got the same thing wrong with us so we have to stick together.

And if you choose to power a GMRS radio through the Autocom it can draw a couple of amps on transmit. The AutoCom power draw is otherwise not significant.

I have had to strip the lower panel off to shake that friggin' clip out of it.

Same problem with lead in shotgun pellets. I hear the answers are different though. Tungsten for fishing weights and steel for shotgun pellets. Both are more expensive than the Pb being substituted though.

In terms of wear, is it really dangerous at all to have thin rubber? I mean, the water grooves can all be measured and isn't that all that matters at tire end-of-life?

Too bad. I dig that site, despite its frequent server issues.

Ouch! Considering how unlucky you were to get rear ended so hard you sure got lucky on the injuries. Scary stuff. Keep telling us how the insurance story works out.

I can't predict the time frame but LED main lighting (and building interior lighting) is coming. One of my sister companies made Audi headlight prototypes. Geez were those expensive though -- 14 ultra-high-power LED's per module and they ran HOT!

Definitely consider doing most of your own service. I'm not a great mechanic (okay, I suck) but the guys around here have posted so many how-to's that I was able to deal with all the routine service so far. I'll only be letting my dealer do the coolant (yeah, I'm wussing out on the...

Can't wait to hear a mileage report on the new Storms. I like the current offering in every way except mileage (the low speed wobble was no big deal to me). I've got new Z6's going on this week so by the time I have to make my next choice maybe Avon will be back in the hunt!

Huh. Good to hear something is working. My Pro7 and TK3101 sit right next to each other in the tank bag. I have wanted to place the radio vertical but just for better range.

I think it comes down mostly to taste. I like my V46 and gag at the Yamaha box. There is also the small matter of drilling for the Yama box and isn't there some complaint about the rack strength?

I just got my notice for my '05 (in So Cal). Wonder how long it'll take my dealer to get parts. They NEVER have a part I need... edit - see here's why I hate dealers. Mine has two of these in stock but won't give me one because they are saving them for people who bought FJR's from them...

Just got my notice on my '05. I'm in So Cal too. Wonder if the mailing timing is strictly regional?
