Getting ready for the trip to Daytona/Bike Week, I noticed one of the screws on a saddle bag lock was missing. Checked the other 3, and sure enough, they were loose. As a stopgap, I used some of my wife's nail polish in place of loctite to secure the screws. Do those of you who have used nail...

Has to do with the crazy broker who faked his own death in an airplane headed for FL and tried to get away on a red Yamaha motorcycle with saddle bags. Folks are trying to avoid guilt by association.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed. Kudos especially to you, Kevin, for making the challenge happen and keeping tabs.

Having a father who sold motorcycles and whose first bike was an Indian Four, I didn't stand much of a chance. Probably 10 or so, and I was zipping around on my mom's Riva and Elite scooters (I think I was 13 when she had the Honda 250 Elite--I was king of the world riding around on that...

After yesterday.... 1 TTU 2 Florida 3 Bama 4 Texas 5 PSU

My Feejer gets 40 rods to the hogshead.

Fixed it for you.

This is freaking BRILLIANT! Thank you! And let me say +100000: my set of PR2's still has the factory nubblies on their shoulders, but, like my hair pattern, is getting a bit thin in the middle. I do feel the urge to play devil's advocate in rhyme and defend FL roads, but I'll be darned if I...

Thanks for the review, Jeff. Please be sure to let us know when you have the PR2's longevity figures. This post has impeccable timing: 10k on my set of PR2's and I'm debating whether to give the RoadSmart's a spin or stick with the Michs.

I'm all about the 10 finger discount. And I scavenge Harley parts that have vibrated off and end up on the side of the road.

V-Max, V65 Magna, and my first bike (don't laugh) Virago 500

Single-malt scotch in a flask. Helps me forget all the things I should be carrying there if I want to be truly prepared. Oh, and tire plug kit, standard-issue tool kit, a few extra wrenches. And an emergency $20 in case I need fuel and I'm in the backwoods & they don't accept cards & someone...

This was a first for me. Riding to work, bike ahead, I speed up slightly to see what it is. As I get closer, I see that it's a 'wing. As I get even closer, I see that something isn't quite right. It's an older 'wing--4 cylinders, maybe late 80s. But something doesn't look cricket. I get...

Because clearly there was no obstruction...given the volume of gas? :unsure:

Are you getting the matching passenger backrest? If so, I'm partial to the Nelson Rigg EXP-200 Expandable Tail pack. It slips over the backrest, has bungies to tie to the rack, and each compartment unzips to expand to twice its volume. As for the waterproof part: it comes with a cover. I...

I got a milky/hazy spot from using Rain X on my 07's windshield. Switched to Plexus and now prefer it.

Try checking here: https://micapeak.com/reg/bikes/FJR1300/ You can sort by mileage.

My thermistor/ambient temperature sensor likes to display odd numbers. I find this, well, odd given that half of the available whole digit temperatures are even numbers. Anyone else get primarily odd-numbered temperature readings? If so, what gives? Should I ride the bike to Vegas and play...

What a thoughtful spouse. Now you can get it up any time you like. :dance:

Nelson-Rigg EXP-200 and love it. All compartments expand to twice their size.
