Coefficient of friction is actually slightly higher than when dry. But more importantly, skid numbers are sustained over a longer period of time over aged conventional asphalt roads. TexDot did a study on one stretch of road and found a 93% drop in wet weather major accidents. Interesting stuff!

LOL!!! That's not something I want to picture. Back on topic...

That's cool, I hadn't heard about that test section. I do know of an 8 mile section between Everett and Seattle on south bound I-5 (I think in the Lynnwood area). Im curious how that's holding up and what people think about it. There's no doubt that asphalt rubber (AR) roads are quieter by about...

:haha: Ok, that was funny! Rubberized roads is where they put recycled tire rubber into the road asphalt. If you've ever ridden around in Arizona you've probably been on one. They are SUPER quiet! I've never ridden on one though and wonder if anyone can comment on how confidence inspiring it...

With only a handful of states having really used 'rubberized asphalt' on their roads there may only be a few of you who have any real experience on them but I would still like to hear from those that have both experienced & 'heard of it' as well. With the 5 year transportation bill scheduled to...

Thanks for the tips everyone! I like the idea about a used 06 b/c I just can't see myself with a red bike. My guess is that all the 06's are sold in the state by now so used would be my only option there.

A search on the topic didn't give me to much so Im wondering if you fellas could give some suggestions on where to purchase an 06/07' FJR (new) here in California. I was going to hold out until the new concours made it to the floor but its time to bite the bullet. I appreciate any leads!

DMV is a non-issue for me at present. Dont ask me why. :P The 05' is a good deal but Im really liking the upgrades on the 06'.

Unfortunately, CA is one of those states with price spikes (unless you buy in LA which is a yamaha receiving port). But hey, if the price is right then Im always open to a fly n' buy!

Hello all, this is my first visit here. Im a huge fan of the FZ1 (owned 2) and now Im ready to move on to the FJR (I'll bet there's some FZ1OA guys 'round here). Im looking for pricing info from anyone who's shopped/purchased the 06' 1300A here in California. Thanks!
