Wow, that was not fun to watch! was there a hot girl or something in that bunch of cars on the left? The rider got out of whack and then drove into the wrong side of the road. No excessive speed that I could see. Glad he is not hurt too bad. Concentration might have kept him out of that...

thanks to all for sharing your experiences. Keep the ideas coming, I have some road rash to repair on my 2007 this winter, a cam chain tensioner to replace on my 2005 FJR. I will see what kind of deals come along between now and next spring on my future track bike :yahoo:

I am looking for suggestions on a track bike. I have no desire to take my feejer on the track at this point. Too expensive when I lay it down. I am a big, "rangey" guy. Long legs, and longs arms. 250+lbs. I want something that has as much power as the FJR, and similar brakes. This is...

glad nobody got hurt. Can you imagine some poor slub coming back to his car getting creamed by a runaway 600+ pound 20mph mass? :dribble: good reminder, when you start pushing your limits, those sort of mistakes get more common. I have had dumbass attacks at a gas station or two, usually...

I try and pass them with some speed for that sort of reason, but....the other side is, trucker comes over with little or no warning, who has not had a big rig scare the heck out of you? Me, at least a couple times a season. Cruising along in the passing lane, overtaking a big truck...

6'5" 35" inseam have both a 2005 and a 2007. Little more room with the seat "up" on the 07. Get a comfy seat, I have a Russell on the 05 and have done 12 hour days no problem. No bar risers for me. taller windshield, you will have to figure that one out for yourself. I have had a Cee Baily...

Skooter G I have two FJR's an 05 and an 07, the 05 is my wife's bike, but she has been riding my 07 a little bit, and she wrecked the SOB. what about low cost replacement plastic? If I can get the plastic cheaply, I'm sure I can replace a little body work....

My wife lowsided on the right side(she is completely ok) as the bike was sliding, she says it stood back up and then fell over on the left side. So both sides are pretty well scraped up. She claims so was only going about 20 mph at the time, but I have my doubts. It had been raining, and she...

SOB, that is cool, is that guy wearing a ghilie suit?(you know, the stuff a sniper wears for camo) never in my wildest dreams have I thought about doing a helmet scrape...

Be sure and do the Beartooth scenic byway... 11 thousand feet elevation, and a nicely maintained road, with unbelievable views. Lookup Red Logde MT, north east of Yellowstone. I did the ride in mid June, and there was a ton of snow, they still had a chairlift operating at the summit. Take a...

bike is stable as heck.... I was doing this exact thing on a 2007A this morning, but I was sitting on the back seat...went for miles really, and I did not have the drink. On a cross country trip at the moment, and my seat is a butt breaker, so...what ever I can do to change up the seating...

Desatin... thats the stuff for use on diaper rash, works great on hot, damp areas, that might need washing more often :lol: this is important for those hot rides, has a lot of Zinc Oxide, so, it can be used as sunblock also.

My wife has been riding my 2005 and decides in order to ride comfortably for long hours she needs bar risers and hiway pegs. not too surprising on the risers she is only 5'4" with short arms. anybody have some laying around? we have measured her on the bike, and she needs a lot of "back" in...

made a deal with ahchuea(sp?) for his Bill Mayer front and rear... not needed any longer

anybody have something like a Russell Day Long for a GenII? I recently purchased a 2007 and it has the stock seat. Not sure if I have time to get a new one made for a planned early July xcountry trip. I'm 6'5" and 260lbs... thanks

Just the wrong time of year, if the seller is willing to wait for a buyer, the price is going to be closer to 8000+, at least that's what I told the wifey. I intend to enjoy it, I love my 2005, and with more better suspension on the 2007, I'm sure I'm in for another love affair :P

Brett B thanks for your kind offer. Bike is at my father in laws(in Tri Cities WA) getting a new Ohlins shock, and I will ride it back to WV in July. I'm pretty sure he is going to "keep it company" for me :rolleyes: I am still looking for side bags, I have not heard back from the guy...

Yea, that was funny! I always find a way to spend a little more than I can afford. It's a gift. My wife and I are hoping we can get some time to ride together this year. We will see. I have got ahold of Garauld, but I have not heard from the OP on the details just yet. ride safe LT

HaulinAshe if you look closer you will notice that it is me in line in front of you already.... :yahoo: thanks for the tip about Garauld. lt
