    My FJR killed a Harley today

    I own a Harley and an '05 FJR. Love them both, and I don't give a damn whether the get noticed or not.

    It's F%^*ing HOT!

    I recently put a Cal Sci windshield on my '05 FJR. The two holes at the bottom of the windshield allow a good bit of air through to flow over the tank, and that in turn eliminates a significant amount of heat. For the most part I didn't give a damn about the heat on my FJR one way or the...

    Barros takes a step backwards

    It should make for some interesting racing in World Superbike. When Colin Edwards, Troy Bayliss, Ruben Xaus and Neil Hodson all left World Superbike over a two year period I thought it was a bummer, but at least Troy and Ruben are back; and it can't hurt having Barros there. I don't think...

    Drag Racing

    My mistake. Thanks for setting me straight. My first runs were this year, and my reactions times were posted as you said. Most of the runs I did were between .010 to .018, sometimes worse. You're also dead on about the reaction time not affecting the ET. I stepped in it! Thanks for the...

    Drag Racing

    Dave's right on about locking the front end down and tightening the rear. You can lose hundreths of a second right at the line while the front and rear suspension extend and squat respectively. If you can get your suspension tightened up more of the bike's energy is directed toward forward...

    Oops. I actually meant that last comment for Ionbeam, not Dave. Looks like Dave's times are pretty darn good.

    Drag Racing

    Hey Dave, you've got to get that reaction time to .010, and you'll get into the high 10's. If you're not using the pro tree, go on the third yellow. When I'm not cruising on the FJR, I run my old heavy ass HD at Bud's Creek, 11.80 ET and 114.6 mph. Not bad for an old fat "hog." I will go...

    If You're Jonesin' For a GP Fix

    Love the "Doctor." He's gifted, whether on a RC211 or and M1. The man can drive. I'm hoping to talk the wife into letting me go to Phillip Island next year and see the Moto GP guys run before they change from 990's to 800's. Thanks for the video. It was a good pick me up on a cold and rainy...

    Hope this is the right place for posting

    I hear everybody talk about the heat issue with the FJR, but in the winter that heat is a blessing. I ride with a couple less layers of clothing than my none FJR riding buddies; and in the summer, I can live with it. Beyond that, the FJR is just a great all round bike that doses out tons of fun.
