I kid you not that I read a study where swallowing is suppose to have various health benefits such as lowers the rate of depression. As of yet, my wife does not believe me.

I had a '01 or '03 FZ1, and it was scary fast for me. I actually traded it in because I could not restrain myself from twisting that throttle. I still remember that bike fondly :)

Don't forget to get NoScript addon which greatly improves browsing by letting you choice which sites to run javascript. No more of those annoying ads that float across the screen.

:lol: Hey now, lets not disparage hardcore gamers, not all people get blown up these days, and game companies are starting to put the sun in their games, so that we aren't so shocked when we see it on those rare trips outside.

Twistedcricket's grandfather can use it because Twistedcricket is supporting and configuring it, and in his example, he is using two apps, email and web browsing. If that's all you are using it for, then you can't beat the price, and it's great to not give MS more money. "STFU" is for children...

actually, nm, not worth the effort.

You do realize that Firefox can run on windows right? I installed linux a few times since 98 or 99, and it's one of the platforms we program for at work. As a home OS, it's about as worthless as it can get. Maybe things have changed in the past couple of years, but the UI looks like xwindows...

+1 Every year at the start of the riding season, I head to big a parking lot, and get reacquainted with slow maneuvering, quick stops, and other basic riding skills learned in the MSF.

Norton became to bulky and slow for me years ago. I use the standard windows firewall, router, no virus protection, firefox with NoScript, and no file sharing. I don't really recommend not using a virus protection program. I get by without one because I do not download unknown programs and...

<sarcasm>That's right. Don't use the search function, it gives everyone the right to act like asshats. </sarcasm> Or perhaps using the same lump between the ears to not read and reply to a topic that they have "endlessly" covered, and are sick of?

I know how you feel. I went from a FZ1 to a cruiser for what sounds like the same reason you did. While the cruiser has some low end torque, I miss that big smile that the FZ1 gave me, and I got that on the test drive with the FJR. So even though I have only had the cruiser for one year, I am...

Congrats!

I wouldn't buy that bike in the ebay ad. It has 33k miles, small dent, and it sounds like it has an electrical gremlin with the ignition switch going out once, and heated grips not working. One thing I have noticed is that CA is quite a bit lower than the rest of the nation, and there are a lot...

In my opinion, it's hard to claim self-defense when you shoot the person in the back, and that person did not have a weapon or step foot on their property.

What is mucking everything up is the trade-in value of my bike. If I go off of the highest trade-in value I have seen from other dealers, then price of the bike would be around 10k. They are about $200 difference over what my ideal reasonable price was before I started dealing with them. The...

I had them check the tires, and both of them were low by 5 psi each. After going back for a bit more dealing and talking, I am pretty close to getting the bike today.

Thanks for all the replies. I also have a trade-in making things messy, so when I go straight NADA book, add a bit for extra luggage option mentioned above, I am getting a couple hundred more for my trade-in compared to all the other stores I have checked. I forgot to mention that it has one...

Hello, I took an 05 FJR (abs) for a spin earlier today. The power brought quite a smile to my face, haven't had one quite that big since my FZ1 :) . The bike has saddlebags plus the one that mounts in the center behind the rider. About 1000 miles on it, and they are asking 10,900 for it. The...
