We all hope to have experienced something iconic in life. You did. An FJR! And now you are willing to try something else. I applaud your decision. Many of us have wanted to run around on many different bikes and you have a great excuse (not like you needed one) to try something new. Modern...

Lots of great advice here. My 2 cents...Why abuse your vehicle for occasional use? I am a Trailer guy. A decent trailer can be abused with no guilt and has a much lower loading height. One slip, trip or fall and the rest of it can go out the window in a hurry! The trailer in a bag idea is a...

Wow! Just humbles me. This guy does some amaziing work. Can we really believe any picture anymore? Glad there was a '62 Chev. My first car was a '62 Impala. Probably the best looking for the '62-'64 Chevs. mr.paul

Got mine! Great addition to the toolbox! Nice work Roy! mr.paul from Minnesota

For what it is worth to you... There are a number of great textille suits out there. As far as I know, there is only one made made in the USA and that has been extensively "tested". Also a standard of the cycle touring and cycle press groups. For a few extra bucks, I would gladly (and have)...

I'll add to the core recommendation. Keep your torso warm with good fleece and electrics. Under my Aerostich Darian pants I have gone with heavy fleece pants and good long underwear if needed. One thing I would add is a good, warm sock system. A wicking sock covered by a warm wool or similar...

I am one more guy that thinks more of you for not just walking away. Personal ethics will always be with you. I do realize though, that the dealer doesn't have much power in this transaction. You can walk away and buy from anyone. He knows that. He is stuck with a liability to sell. I...

Great pics. As I look out of my window and see something white on the grass, it feels like the time of year where I start living vicariously through you people in the warmer climes, to a greater extent. Keep 'em coming! mr.paul, from Minnesota

Oh yeah, I bet anyone from my favorite state (MN don't cha know) just chuckles at this thread, as well as our brothers and sisters of the Mapleleaf (at least Manitoba and Ontario). I cut it off every year when either the ice is on the road or the salt. Air temp you can dress for. Gotta love...

May not fit the bill, but why not get a smallish Aerostich bag? https://www.aerostich.com/packing-it-in look at the sizes, like the letter bag or dispatch. https://www.aerostich.com/packing-it-in/sho...ks/courier-bags I have the Parcel and the Courier. Work great and stay on my back...

Forgot to add, when I put my rack on in '06, I seem to remember that it fit "just so". I mean that I had to start all the fasteners and tighten them together 'cause the clearance was so tight. mr.paul, from Minnesota

Hey joe, I am on the other side of da cities from you and I am not really available until mid week. But I have a 2006 with a Givi rack and a V46. If I can help you I would be honered. mr.paul, from Minnesota

Ok, I think this is a testament. My Feej is the only bike I have had that has stranded me (dreaded ignition switch frying out) and it is still the best bike I have ever had. I always look at it and feel I have made it to the top. I still call it trouble free. Man, what a bike! mr.paul, from...

Here is another vote for the Honda Pro cleaner or Plexus. I just got a Yammy touring shield and removed that label. Tough one too. But I used the Honda Pro spray and a fingernail and had it off in about a minute. Finished it off with Plexus and you would never know it had been there. These...

Well, we all know that the 2006 blue is the fastest.... Congrats on the purchase. You are now among the elite. I would add my 2 cents on the heated grips. I got the factory (whoa baby, they cost how much?) ones and they work great. I originally thought I would use them on the coldest days...

Nobody mentioned, this was a rare water-cooled model! mr.paul

Though I didn't spend as much time as I thought I would riding, I had a great time anyway. Got to shoot the bull, kick a tire or two, help out a friend and see other FJR's! What's not to like? I was the slow one Sunday as I was the last to leave the parking lot. Takes the pressure off, being...

Update. If they are right, we are blessed. From NOAA weather sight for La Crosse. Thursday: Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 78. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph. Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 52. Light south wind. Friday: Mostly sunny, with...

Pasties (with a short "a" sound) are a traditional food of the miners who needed a handy meal to haul to work. Basically anything you want in a folded over pastry crust. Often a bit of meat and potatoes and rutabagas, carrots, any other thing you had around the kitchen. I got this from my...
