    Tire wear.

    I ride with match brands and models. I replace my tires as needed, but for me that is usually both at the same time. On my 07 I got 8k out of the factory rear. The front was feathering pretty bad at that point, so I replaced both. BT021 tires served me well. On my Busa I run the BT016...

    How do you “Long Distance” guys concentrate???

    I pull over and take a 15 or 20 minute break every tank of fuel. I set my bikes up so that I can enjoy them the way I like to ride them. I use a Chatterbox and Zune to provide music and voice prompts from my Zumo. I have found that earplugs help me ward off fatigue longer. Point, go and have...

    Just dropping a note

    I had a hard drive crash and lost most of the finished video. I still have all of the stock footage, but I haven't had the motivation lately to go through all of it again. I will do it soon, I've just been procrastinating since all of the trouble to rebuild my laptop. The parts that I did...

    Just dropping a note

    Hey Steve. That's the plan. I'm still not sure how my back will be doing at that point, but I will be there. I had a great time hanging out with you guys last year. Definitely a group to keep close to. You still have a barn full of bikes? B)

    Just dropping a note

    Hey everyone. I haven't forgotten about this place. I still lurk from time to time. I'm keeping my information on the FJR Assistance list for anyone that needs a hand as they are passing through. I have been divorced for over a year now. I haven't sold the house yet. The Ex is taking her...

    MOST EXPENSIVE BULB EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know which end of the ZX14 is. The front end looks like the alien scientist from "Lilo and Stitch", and the back end make me vommit when I look at it. Oh wait, I vommit when I look at the Foreman Grills on the sides, too. :blink:

    Got the green light for busa or zx14, help!

    I'm not sure where you got your information... The 08 Busa can easily drag pegs on warm tires. I've been scraping my boots on a few corners already. I also know someone that ground the peg feelers off his ZX14 more than once in the two years he's had it. If you think those bikes are strait...

    Bad news for me

    Update. The EX is getting her own apartment. I will be in the house by myself until it sells. After it sells I will be getting another FJR. The final day should be Nov 23rd. This Friday. Any other delays will if the Ex doesn't like that she may not be getting spousal support. Thanks for...

    Can the linked brakes be unlinked?

    There is a brake line that goes from the rear of the front-right caliper. You can disconnect and plug that line and the caliper. Your brakes are now de-linked. Of course now you have an unused brake piston on the front. You could get a custom line made that will allow you to plumb and use...

    Cdog joins crash club two up

    Now stop that crashing thing! It's not good for your health. Good to hear you're both in good shape.

    Rear Ended On My FJR

    Damn. Glad you're okay. I missed this earlier. You Halloween makes mine look petty (the day I sold my FJR). I'm glad to hear you have already ordered another bike. Trust a cager as far as you can throw them.

    Bad news for me

    I got a surprise from work last week. I got some bonus money that the wife doesn't need to know about. I called a friend of mine that works for a dealership. He quoted my a price on a demo bike that is $2600 under MSRP. I know he's taking a loss, but he's trying to help me out. It's not an...

    Bad news for me

    I really do appreciate the support. The FJR is already gone, but I know where to find it if this all pans out before it sells. When all is done I'm buying my, or another FJR and an 08 Busa. Those should give me miles of smiles. Until the court is final, life sucks. Then life will still suck...

    Bad news for me

    Thanks for the support everyone. She filed over two months ago. I've suggested counseling, but she's not interested. She married me to get out of a bad situation, now she can support herself. She has two boys. I'm the bummed the most over losing them. I've raised them for the past eight...

    Bad news for me

    After all the work to get the 07's up and running correctly... Mine is now gone. :( I'm currently going through a divorce. The FJR had to go for me to avoid a total raping by the wife in court. If I kept it I was at risk of loosing my truck. I need the truck more than the bike right now...

    I need friends

    I know the feeling. I work too many hours. I support a family that doesn't give a crap about me. I have a few casual friends. I associate with a few people at work. I think I get along with people pretty well, but I'm a strong type A. That really seams to turn most people away when they...
