    WooHoo: First few days on new Feejer

    Put the sliders on NOW! I bought mine shortly after the bike after reading the forum, but got lazy putting them on. Needless to say all the begging and pleading while a 600+ lbs bike is slowly tipping over at a turning stop while looking in the opposing direction will not save the paint as well...

    Electric Question- Help!

    I should really proof read my post: Ignition(not starter) recall done, The *engine* warning light went on(not electrical), like it should with all the other lights. Bike was in neutral, Clutch in and kickstand up, and I swear the headlights and all other lights went on but no blip with...

    Electric Question- Help!

    Pulled a bonehead maneuver and left the key on over night, resulting in a dead battery. Pulled the battery and put it on a 2amp charger. The charger registered a full charge the next AM, and I put the battery back in. Now I have an electric warning light on the dash and the starter will not...

    Tips on getting Spouse to feel safe on the FJR

    Add to the 1+ on a Comm system. The Cardo has a separate plug in for her own MP3 paly so she can listen to her own tunes, which is great 'cuz she listens to the slower "artistic" type music that makes me want to sleep. I was a little wary of the comms as I like the meditation aspect of riding...

    Looking for hotel info.

    Concur with Mission Valley, probably 15 minutes tops from MCRD. Point Loma and downtown SD are viable options as well. I'd recommend considering the Priceline "name your price" option. Just select 4 star and the price you want to pay. I got to spend a few nights at the airport Hilton for...

    Mechanic in San Dego Area

    Anyone with feedback on Fun Bike Center. I am new to town and wouldn't mind getting additional feedback. They are a bit closer to me (and the give discounts on parts to AD military), but if there is a definite better shop a short bit away (National City or El Cajon), I'd ride it.

    Wanting a Valkyrie Interstate

    Check it out: 7,000 mile ride report Electra Glide vs Interstate vs Venture: https://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/roadtests...ison/index.html The Harley edged out the Valkryie, but apparently just barely and possibly with reasons that would make little difference (ie better stereo, winshield)...

    Animal Strikes

    Saw these two posts on another motorcycle site and thought they were interesting- although I would look at them on a full stomach: Motorcycle chops coyote in half: https://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=108176 coyote Car vs deer (looks like a scene from a Tarantino movie): Cartype

    Navy and Marines requiring Sportbike training

    Took the course last month as it is required for all active duty who own a sport bike. It was significantly more geared towards functional riding, leaning and quick stops than the BRC and ERC. There was only about 2 hrs of class time then lots of time on the "lemon lot" with sharp turns...

    Wayne (ExtremeMarine) and Annette Update

    Wayne, When you get around to reading these posts let me know if I can help with anything. I am sure the hospital folks have contacted the Humana/Tricare folks for insurance stuff, but it never hurts to make sure someone has started the god awful paperwork trail to make sure you don't get a...

    Is this bike hard to ride?

    I'd agree with a couple of the previous posts that: 1. This forum is very open and honest-people 'fess up easily when the screw up. Mostly to help the other folks out and give them a heads up. Probably don't see that in a lot of other forums where folks are a little bit more ego conscious 2...

    wacked another deer

    Have you noticed any antlers sticking out from behind your rose bushes? Perhaps a little flash of white tail as you walk around the corner of your house? You are being stalked! There's a bounty on your head from the Cloven Hoof Mafia, for sure. Buy a BMW and keep yourself safe (mainly cause...

    My sons' new "grocery game"

    OK, call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I think this is the Costco equivalent of spreading a computer virus...a random act of stupidity that has no purpose except to aggravate or inconvenience someone else. You wanna play a prank on your friends or your family, fine, they might just think it is...

    Any good divorce lawyer out there

    If you are being offered alimony, then definitely take it! If she has talked to her lawyer and is offering it to you, you can be damned sure it is well within your legal rights, and I would bet they are low balling you. When you talk to the lawyers, DO NOT FORGET to discuss things like health...

    Sprained Palm

    Could be CTS if you are a serious computer geek with no wrist rest or elevator. Usually more of a gradual onset, and often with electric shock sensation when tapping the inside of the wrist. Could be a ganglion cyst with rupture, or a neuroma. Possibly a spontaneous rupture of one of the deep...

    Any good divorce lawyer out there

    To echo a few points: Don't do stupid sh*t regarding "getting back a her" in any way. Remember if the crap hits the fan and you wind up in court, the judge will not likely find you spray painting lesbian slurs on the side of her car as funny as you and your buddies did. Go to a Barnes and...
