    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    No worries about doing business with Seth. I got my seat last week and it looks great. All along through the ordering and build process, I was getting quick and accurate responses to all of my communications. Seth even suggested a more attractive color, pattern and stitching combination that...

    Change the handlebar angle - have you done it?

    I worked for 20 minutes trying to get one pin out using a vise grips. It slid out about 1/16th and that was it. The vise grips just didn't have the bite. So out came the Dremel tool with a cutting disc. Those outisde pins cut like butter. It also took an abrasion disc on the Dremel to sand...

    How old are you FJR riders?

    Fifty three and she rides with me ninty percent of the time. I've only dropped seven times over the years. Every time her fault somehow.

    Fine lodging suggestions

    1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa Eureka Springs, Arkansas Historic and pricey but a true classic from time gone by. You'd swear you stepped into the late 1800's. We were there last April (late). Don't eat the food at the hotel. Overpriced and just really poor. Walk down the street to Rogue's...

    V-Strom 1000 Question

    First Drop - Why don't I feel bad?

    It happened the first time yesterday. There's always a first. Help me to understand why I don't feel too bad about it. My 07 dropped in the parking lot. I wasn't in the saddle. My 22 year old Son was. He was home on leave from the Navy. Next month he goes to Afghanistan. The scratches on...

    Ninja 250

    I've ridden my buddy's 250 on the road and at track day. It's zippy in the turns but doesn't stand a chance on the straights. Loves to run at high rpms and max'd about 95 mph. It's comfortable and responsive. Simple and easy to ride. Today, his 105 pound wife and sons ride it. The 250 is...

    Skyway's Aux. Fuel Cell Kit

    Although it doesn't change the pain you guys are expierencing with the fuel tank delay, I ordered Skyway frame sliders last Sunday and received them by Thursday. That's great service by action. I've always believed though if you can't provide great service by action, then great communication...
