    Self driving car hits motorcycle cop

    Technology has been making humans stupid since the CD player was invented, well some people. Attention spans and the lack of the need to think and process is my point. I guess that driver was a little surprised and will pull his head out going forward, bottle it and pass it around.

    Self driving car hits motorcycle cop

    The tesla automatically goes to manual mode when you leave the freeway. Operator error, as usual. Good on the cop for his quick bail skills, I hope to never need to do it.

    Metzeler Z8 -- Which Spec?

    I also liked the Z8 on my BMW RS and have stuck with them for the feel. Metzler has poor info, won't return quearies but I found Revzilla designates the "O" for heavier bikes, maybe a slightly harder center compound. I went with the M on both rear replacements, lighter bike but either are within...

    Another Damn Deer Strike (Not me though)

    I hit a deer and no one showed up to foam me down, was leaking fuel too. I assume the normal 125 knot take off speed was achieved, rotation had started and there was no abort room. That whole crew is lucky.

    I'm sick of Facebook. I'm deleting my account!

    This is the best way to be exposed there, family and friends only. I only go there when prompted by an event. I have friends who friggin' LIVE there ! They suck up all the fake stuff and live life according to what they read there....they have no concept of reality or real world events.

    2017-01-16 North County Ride - with New RR

    Like. It's good to see water in the ponds and some green scenes there. I hope the drought is over, we had one that lasted 8 years then got pounded by flooding. Ride until it quits

    Is this a norm? Jerky at low RPM (1-2 rpm)

    Why are you riding at 2500 rpm ? That is just off idle and there is no throttle control or air moving down there. Lower engine speed and higher gear selection will usually produce some driveline jumping. I do not think TB service will do much on an engine designed to run between 4 and 8000 RPM...

    Fall Foilage History Lesson

    Very nice man, down here I miss the colored foilage so thanks for the pictures. Awesome bikes, good roads and I can smell the apple store (real apples) from memory.

    So long

    I told you I was clueless and still have no idea what this thread is about, just wanted to add some observations about people, the internet forum world and many years of experience related to the above. I hope it's nothing world changing, if anyone here is having major issues of any kind I send...

    So long

    Unfortunate. I'll play clueless as I don't know the cause or details but know this internet thing can be cruel, some get butthurt and take things personally. It has happened on almost every forum I visit. Time allows a boiling melting pot to simmer and this place has always had many...

    EOM 2016 photos - place yours here also - if you want

    Outstanding photos, looks like a great group and fun time. Pinkie has great legs, would love to throw down a beer with that joker.

    Just thought I'd look...

    You would be a great BMW owner Zilla....same thing, different crowd of whiney asses. Ride 'em.

    One Break Pad Badly Warren

    Replace all of them, one worn brake pad indicates the caliper is dirty and not releasing on that one side. Brake cleaner and gently scrub the grunge off the piston boots The keeper pins should be sanded down and greased with high temp brake grease to assist them in returning to an open state...

    Just thought I'd look...

    I have both, the FJR never gets used. The BMW guys (some) complain a lot and are totally dealer dependent. The low mileage BMW's are waxed and clean, bugs are evil and expensive gear is all the rage. My RS is awesome, no issues and covered in bugs and rock chips. Ride 'em. FWIW...the included...

    Anyone for Russellville AR next week?

    Lamberts will induce the need for a nap, catch a warm roll and butter it for me.

    Torque loss after service.

    Too far retarded is a great description of my last Yamaha service team, they scratched pristine tupperware and left a fuel hose loose.....I should always do my own work no matter how busy my scdule. Freedom Yamaha in Lewisville, Texas should be avoided at all costs.

    Torque loss after service.

    Thanks audiowize, I think I'm missing some low end and it runs great up high. I'm guilty of not riding the feej...damn BMW RS has me hooked but will spend some quality FJR time on that one soon.
