This is turning into a lopsided contest! Now I'm running out of excuses for continuing to sit on the fence....

Its only the ES model that gets the LED lighting and directional lights, right? I guess I could look that up on the Yamaha site.... Edit - so I looked it up - seems like from '16 on all the lights are LED, but the directional lights are only on the ES. And I think heated grips are standard...

So I'm looking at my '08 with the hood up, and me procrastinating about digging into the AVCC to find out why its gone t**'s up. And out there are now a lot of used Gen 3 models for sale so I'm perusing Craigslist and others and have found these two bikes for sale in California and I'm curious...

There is no problem running a CA model in any other state so its completely a non-issue. Its only the other way around that is tricky and even then its only on sub-7500 mile bikes that it matters....

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, and also grateful for the time and feeling you put into your message for all of us. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned over the years visiting these forums came from a post on the ZX6R forum from a dad who took the time to post a very personal...

Those A-6's at Whidbey Island NAS are gonna make me tear up. I spent 4 years as a bombardier/navigator in VA-85 flying out of Oceana. Great plane, took me in and out of harms way many times during Desert Storm. Thanks for including them in your photo story. - they're kind of forgotten in the...

That sounds like a more fitting response in a different kind of forum Or maybe something BeemerDons would have said after too much Jameson's!

Gary - i've got a cousin who was talking about getting a CB350 and I totally forgot about this thread til seeing the bump today. I'll send you a PM - if you can send me a couple of photos by email I'll forward them to him and see if he'd be interested.....

Awesome, just awesome! I'm doubly impressed by the "reporting from the road" aspect. I'm lucky if I can remember anything by the time I get back from a lengthy trip, but don't know how to use an iphone quickly and easily (hate typing on that damn thing!) Enjoy the trip - I'm extremely jealous

Out of curiosity I looked in BikeBandit's OEM part finder and looked up the nomenclature for the FJR lineage. Without listing every permutation (AE, ES, 49 state, CA, etc....), here is what they show for the standard A model (49 state) between '08 and '16 (no listing for '17 yet except for ES...

Whatever happened to Skully? Seems like that's what we really need. Oh yeah - they closed up shop after lifting a lot of money from Kickstarter backers...

Sorry to hear about the trench foot (seriously, trench foot?). But your comment reminds me of a guy by the name of Walter Colebatch on ADVRider. He's a legend for traversing Siberia and Mongolia on rally bikes on really crappy trails and he is a true believer in non-waterproof boots for the...

Don't tell RenoJohn about your conclusions. He's pretty convinced that Gen 3's are too big and heavy to have any fun on, or do well in the IBR for that matter......

Hey FJRay - is it true that 97 has had its speed limits increased? I read somewhere that several highways in Oregon have been added to the list of 1,000,000 other highways in the country that have speed limits set above a snail's pace of 55 mph. Could you confirm or deny?

I just heard from a guy at work that Oregon has opened up some speed limits including 97 from Klamath Falls to Bend. Should make that stretch a little less painful... Right now I'm a maybe for the RR - may be headed to Moab for some dual sporting

I have to agree with previous posters regarding the change of terms that can affect every aspect of life on the internet. Though the current discussion is about PB, SmugMug has gone through the same thing already. I used SmugMug at one point as part of a small (and eventually closed)...

Yikes! That's a pretty pessimistic turn of discussion on this thread about the motorcycle industry..... But I suppose the last sentence is true for all of us :(

Its really interesting regarding the piece on Fox News and Honda CB's from the 70's being the number 1 interest for milennials. One of my wife's cousins is about 30, and he talked to me on the 4th of July about getting a bike. Not anything new mind you, but a retro, probably a CB350! I didn't...

It's fun to watch the centipede right now closing in on the final point. Something like 10 already in the barn, and maybe another 25 within the next hour or so? Unless of course someone's out hunting another bonus string! I guess we'll know a lot by tomorrow morning, but I think we'll all be...
