It's been many years since I posted anything here, however, I've stayed in touch with Jason through social media. Like everyone here...and anyone who ever met him, I'm reeling from this unexpected loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jason's immediate family as well as his family within this...

Trying to track down wpbFJR. If I recall, he was very active with a dog rescue organization (Rhodesian Ridgebacks) and I'm in need of some information. Looks like he's been banned from the forum; hoping someone knows how to reach/find him. Thanks in advance...

Wow! Lighten up, Francis. Did you forget that you clicked on an "Off-Topic" thread! Good news, though: the rest of the "On-Topic" forum is still in place for you to see.

Watching this thread. Bought a Primo XL grill in early '15 and do a lot of smoking and grilling; I swear I refer to the Amazingribs.com website at least twice a week. I've also invested in a Steak Locker for aging steaks at home and I enjoy prime rib steaks, aged anywhere from 30-45 days, on a...

Found a couple more pennies to throw in here regarding rogdeb's comment above and bluesurf's post after it referring to trail braking. Slowing while leaned over in a curve, either through braking or decelerating does "allow" the suspension to relax...and feel less stable. Without any...

Love this thread as negotiating curves is such a critical skill to learn, practice and improve upon. I've never met a rider who couldn't use improvement in their cornering technique. As a RiderCoach for the past 11 years, I have to throw my couple of pennies in here. Laser Dude: do not...

For many years, I had quite the collection of gloves that just grew year after year. I had some that I liked better than others but no one pair ever really stood out. About eight years ago I bit the bullet and bought a pair Held Steve's. Instantly fell in love with them. They were ridiculously...

Stay on 80 west and take it to 355 north. You'll pay a couple tolls on 355 but will bypass boatloads of traffic....depending on the time of day.

It's not at all uncommon when riding a new bike to unconsciously, but dramatically, increase your grip. When I bought my first FJR, I remember both arms being very sore...the right more than the left. It's kind of counterintuitive to think about relaxing your grip when you're riding something...

I sold my '06 last Spring. Before doing so, I took off the easy-to-return-to-stock farkles and sold them separately. Got something for them, but far more than if they were worth left on the bike. Bounce's reply in post #4 above is spot on. It really comes down to how much work you're willing to...

Sold to FredandJeannesRacer. Will be a Christmas gift for a well-deserving rider!

Bump......forgot that I still had this! Would make a GREAT Christmas gift for someone......or yourself.

I've used Haulbikes.com twice in the past; never for my FJR, though. Never had a problem with them.

Went through a similar situation earlier this year. My dog, a Yellow Lab/ Great Pyrenees mix, who had literally been by my side for thirteen years, including the last several when I lost my dad unexpectedly, then lost my mom to cancer a year later, and in between lost my wife of 25 years to...

That guy on the far left in photo #1 looks very familiar.....almost like a ridiculously handsome, much, MUCH younger version of me!! The guy with the FJR sweatshirt has a very evil, almost medic-like smile.

"Well, as long as you've offered, after I get done riding THAT, how about......."

These are my warm-weather gloves of choice... https://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-gloves/held-air-stream-gloves Ridiculously comfortable, exceptional protection, and unbelievable venting; very rarely wet from sweat...like on 90+ degree days when stuck in traffic

I'm thinking about it too because when I pull up to McDonald's now, people remain seated ....and their jaws don't really drop much lower than needed to scarf a McNugget Of course love and respect would be nice too

Gonna go out on a limb here and assume that facts and statistics are something a guy like this doesn't comprehend, so just tell him that you don't always either become a vegetable or die in a motorcycle crash. Sometimes you just break your back...which you have heard is kind of uncomfortable...
