    Paying Attention on the Slab

    I had one of those a few years ago on a two lane rural 55mph road in PA. I came up behind a fuel oil delivery truck going significantly slower than I was. I started to slow and noticed something on the back of the truck that I couldn't identify at first. As I got closer I realized it was a...

    Dropped it again

    Just for the record, it's not just New York. I dropped my ~1000lb Goldwing a few years ago at an intersection in Portland, OR. There were cars and people all around. I struggled for a good ten minutes to get that monster back on it's feet. Not one person, not even those stuck behind me, came...

    Advice on temperature readings - What's normal?

    My '06 runs 4 bars while moving, 5 to 6 bars in stop and go @ 80 degrees or so.

    Springtime in Minnesota

    More FJRs going down?

    If you want to feel top heavy try an '88 Goldwing. Like most here I feel my FJR is the most stable bike I have been on. Keep in mind what some of us learned in the old MSF course......use the rear brake to reduce the turn radius at low speed.....keep the throttle and clutch constant. It works!

    FJR's for Sale

    I wonder if some of it isn't the unfortunate reality that, "now that I finally have it, how the heck am I going to pay for it." Some of us had to pay full MSRP if we wanted an 06 FJR, and we all know, that is a fair chunk of change.

    Y.E.S.

    Never Mind, I found the answer, thanks any way. Hi All, I just put down a deposit today for an 06A and have to go in tomorrow to fill out the paperwork. I appreciate the information I have gotten here about the Y.E.S., however I am not familiar with "D & H" that is being referred to in the...
