    Periodic winter start ups ?

    I am a member over at SVRiders forum, haven't really thought about valves needing adjustment yet since I have 18K miles on the motor... but that may be past the recommended adjustment interval. She'd kinda my unloved stepchild bike as far as PM goes, probably should look at the adjustment...

    Why are ADV writers such windbags?

    Haha... so you must have read it! Dennis has a flair for photography and writing which I enjoyed quite a bit... and I love his dissertation on why he chose the 1199 Panigale over a comfy mount: "Choosing a bike for a trip isn’t unlike choosing what bike to purchase. Too many struggle...

    Anatomy of a FJR

    Beautiful. You have a natural eye for photography... curves and angles, then the whole subject. Nicely done! What sucks is I REALLY want to go ride now, 4" more ice needs to melt in front of the garage. Grrrr.

    Why are ADV writers such windbags?

    Okay, donning my fire retardant dragon foreskin kevlar suit for the napalm about to decend on my shoulders from the likes of Hudson... yet I will tentatively post the link to my favorite ADVRider forum R/R ever. The writer is a pretty insufferable ass, and a bit of a navel gazing windbag, but...

    2008 Yamaha FJR with only 14,000 miles - $8900 (Las Cruces, NM)

    I hear you on that, this year has been pretty awful to live in the unemployment taxation republic State of Michigan. Several friends who own small businesses are getting their legs taken out from underneath them in '13 between state and federal taxes. Even those just making a little in the...

    2005 FJR For Sale - IL

    Nice price on a good bike... sure you don't want to move those 2Bros slip-ons to your '07? They sound so nice on my '06 I've never even tried the stock cans the original owner gave me. Best of luck with the sale, someone will get a sweet bike with a few scratches... easier to get comfortable...

    Penguin is back on two wheels, at last.

    Welcome back, looking good on a very attractive bike! Have to admit I always lusted after a GS1200A but initial cost and maintenance keeps me far enough from the dealer to avoid temptation... ;) Happy trails and keep 'er rubber side down! Abe

    Periodic winter start ups ?

    I agree Wayward, I started mine last weekend and it was 20F in the garage. Less than three engine RPMs and she fired right to life with a healthy 2Bros rumble! It is pretty amazing how fuel injection helps with long storage times and cold starts. Also tried to start my carbed Suzuki SV650...

    Periodic winter start ups ?

    Okay, surprised no one else has brought this up... But here are my (no doubt unflawed and perfect) thoughts. I battery tender the sucker of course, it was down under zero in my town for a week this winter and my baby stays in an unheated garage! But, countless toys (quads, dirt bikes...

    Used Firstgear TPG Escape Pants (Size 34) $125 shipped!

    Sorry, probably should have been more clear on the sizing! They are 34 waist and probably about a 33 inseam. I usually wear a 32Wx34L pant and these were okay in length but too large in the waist for me. Firstgear does sell a "tall" version and this is just the normal fit... FWIW I'm 6' tall...

    Clearwater Lights Group Buy: March 1st - March 30th 2013 (details inside)

    Sorry the color isn't to your liking Barry! I've actually changed all my vehicle lights to a 5500-6500K color spectrum as I feel it does a much better job of providing contrast in most nighttime situations. The yellowish tinge most factory vehicles have just seems to die when it bounces off...

    No special brackets needed for Darlas on an FJR, same housing and mounting system as the Glenda... Designed for fender/fork mounting, see forum post below for explanation: :)...

    Ditto what Tom said, the MSRP prices just dropped on the Glendas since they publicly released the Darla model. Still a good deal at our price, but Darlas are a better deal... ;)

    Used Firstgear TPG Escape Pants (Size 34) $125 shipped!

    Hey gang, Time to move along my used pair of Firstgear pants... I bought them last year from an ADVRider.com member who gained a pant size and didn't get a chance to wear them much. They are 3 years old, in great condition for used pants, and have never been down or in a lowside. Yellow...
