    Registering an out of state bike with CA DMV

    I had written a detailed account of my experience in registering a 49 state FJR from AZ to CA, but I'd probably be spanked/banned for PC violations, so I'll just note the lessons learned. As Don noted, know where you frame and engine #s are and be sure to get a DMV inspector dressed in attire to...

    WTB: Gen 1 Stay 1, PN: 5VS-28356-00-00 (from un-wrecked bike)

    I take it by you mentioning you're looking for a bike that hasn't been dropped, you're needing a new stay due to a broken mirror mount. If that is the problem, there is a way to fix yours on the bike, but you'll need to remove the front cowl, which isn't a big deal. Here's a link to what I did...

    Depending on the departure date of family, Kathy & I would like to be added to this cast of characters.

    Radar detecto connect to helmet

    I started out with the above, but ended up with an Autocom system that worked well.

    VOZZ Helmet, look, no chin strap!

    I agree with Fred in that it is a solution in search of a problem. Not addressed by the promoter is the fact that accidents happen in places that do not have data or cell phone coverage, making that QR code worthless. Also the complicated process of removing the helmet halves vs cutting a strap...

    Welcome to Ireland

    Isn't that already a bumper sticker? Bet they sold a jillion of em'.

    A Dead Raccoon and Weird Live Canadians!

    Your error here is thinking that Beemerdons would use PC terms. Next to Mel Brooks, I believe Don is #2 in equal opportunity disparagement, which is why he fits in here so well.

    Another Great Ride (foiled by an involuntary donation)

    Be careful what you wish for. Here in California, we have a state highway speed limit on trucks of 55 mph and except in certain metro areas, they must remain in the far right lane, except to pass. On a freeway with a 65 to 70 limit for other vehicles, it creates a no win situation as far as...

    Hitting The Apex - the movie

    Now Rog, movie reviews are one thing, but boasting we missed creme brulee, well.... That's just plain mean! ;)

    New V8 Motorcycle - Aurora Hellfire OZ26 V8

    Looks like an updated Boss Hoss, complete with a pre-wrinkled seat. I talked to a Hoss owner once who said it sucked in the twisties, but it was full grin mode on straightaways. To me that would defeat the basic premise that bikes are most enjoyable in turns, but that's just my opinion. At a...

    When I read this to the wife, she inquired, " are you reading posts by Beemerdons again? ".

    S E O Ride report-- I put my friend in a helicopter today

    Sad to read this thread and the extent of Dave's injuries. I can vaguely relate as I too sleep in a recliner lately convalescing a banged up (dirt bike induced) knee. Dave's injuries sound like they'll take awhile to mend, but from what I've read, he's got a great attitude toward recovery...

    My recent trip included 50 CC

    Wow, what a way to confirm a knee rehab! I'm nursing a banged up knee, but a wintertime 50 CC hasn't been on my radar. Kudos for the completion, especially the gutsy call to do it in mid November.

    SOLD -- 2003 Yamaha FJR1300

    Rog I feel your pain. Got my Gen I new in Oct. 2005 and she left a year ago July. It would've been unbearable without having the new sexy Italian already in the garage. I did show the old girl respect in that she kept her parking place nearest the door until she was gone. Enjoy the new ride!

    MSR Fuel Bottle. FAIL!

    Way to go, gotta keep this thread going numbnuts, 2 more pages to go before it's done! Oh, thanks for posting the good deed quote author, I use it often, but thought it was originally penned by your red headed stepson, HRZ......

    MSR Fuel Bottle. FAIL!

    Yep, I keep the filler cap topside, strapped down flat to my Kreiga tail pack. I too was skeptical about it's ability to hold fuel reliably, but all posts on ADVrider & TT that i've read reported it works just fine for fuel. The only issue is restraining it on the back of a bucking Beta as it is...

    Anyone using the GenII/GenIII seat from Seat concepts?

    Another thumbs up for Seat Concepts quality and customer service. I had one on my DRZ400 and now have one on my Beta 520RS. Both we're covered with their gripper material which works well for staying planted when needed, but still allows you to move around on the bike. The only caution I'd offer...
