    HEAT!

    It wouldn't be so bad here, but 80%-90% of the homes around here DON'T have AC. It's usually not hot enough, long enough, to justify getting a central unit. Portable units just aren't enough for more than one room. Tacoma had a power outage during the hottest part of the day earlier this week...

    Random Ramblings and some perspective

    Get an 08 or 09 AE. You know you want it. I like the dark gray metalic. It looks real nice sitting by my Busa.

    A Tragic End For A Marine That Was Close

    My heart sinks every time I hear about another traggic loss. I know they are out there doing their jobs. I just don't agree with why they are doing it. God Speed to all. The price is too high.

    Whelen LIN3 + Programable flasher = Wow!!!

    A Back-Off modulator can be had for $35, and will get someones attention pretty well. I've been using them on all of my bikes for quite some time.

    HEAT!

    Yep. It hit 109 at my house on the south side today. It was 95 on the shady side. The humidity is killing me this week.

    It’s just not fair…

    I know that travesty well. I have two great bikes in my garage that I currently can't ride at all. With two severely herniated lumbar discs I can't go more than a few minutes before both legs are so numb that I can't tell if my feet are still on the pegs. I will be getting things fixed in...

    Tyler down in serious condition in Idaho!

    Prayer go out to you Tyler. All of this bad news lately. Are we getting complacent about our own safety?

    Goodbye Andre

    Rest in peace Andre. Cancer is very nasty. It rips people out of our lives way too soon.

    Possible drawback to PR2's?

    I would be curios to the amount a miles/wear on the FJRs will PR2's the have crashed, or ridiers claiming poor stopping power. I know several people that are running them on other bikes with no complaints. Maybe the PR2 needs less air pressure to achieve the same grip as the PR?

    Carl went down

    Very sorry to hear this. Prayers out to Carl for a quick recovery. Shame on the offcer for not cosidering all of the facts. This is the reason why I ride with a headlight modulator. I have one on all of my bikes. I have noticed that people see me much sooner now.

    Wait for 2010

    I heard the 2010 was getting factory afterburners. ;)

    Long-Awaited Dyno Results

    I have seen a bike with so much oil in the K&N that is was being sucked into the intake valves. That bike acutally caught on fire and the filter burned up pretty bad. The bike was saved and it only needed a new air box.

    REALLY Cool GPS

    That would be very interesting to try.

    Need More Brakes!

    There are two things that will improve the braking of an ABS bike. A softer front tire, and propley set up suspension. The tire will give you more grip. The suspension will reduce dive on the front and lift on the rear. HaulinAsh did a great writeup on suspension. You can change to a more...

    Securing your FJR - what do you use?

    A Scorpio alarm, a bike cover and a garage.

    Garmin LifeTime[TM] Maps

    The iPhone will work very accurately, as long as you have good coverage for the EDGE or 3G network. No internet access, no map.

    Radar Detector & GPS To Starcom Via Single Cable

    Electrically that would look the same to the electrons. I wouldn't see any problem doing it that way.

    How Tough is a FJR?

    Sorry to hear about your get off. Glad you weren't hurt. Enjoy the new bike. It will serve you well.

    Anyone use one of these?

    Interesting, but just how lazy does someone need to be to get that? If I had a power failure while riding, I'd be stuck with it on my head because I can't get my glasses off. Sorry I can't give you a review.

    Self-Destructing FJR Panels!

    I think either... A: The sheep got a little giddy. or B: You got tagged by a bird at some point.
