] Is that you, Bobby? This is Don, from the Lakeland Chapter, who was up there with his newly acquired '06. I presume you made it back safely? yep, its me, Don. Sorry the reply took so long. I've been on vacation plus VBS and a choir musical - all since Memorial day! We did get back safely...

No big deal... but my low beam head light just went out today. Both High beams are fine. Is this a weird quirk on the '03 or do I need a new lamp? I'd rather not spend the money if it's a wiring issue or something else that's been around since inception... Any clues? BC

I sorta figured you would all support that... I guess I was looking for a reason to take a Sunday off and learn the hows (and "whys") of riding. Sounds like the basic may be a little below skill level... but I have been on a cruiser until two months ago when i got my '03 FJR... I'm sure that...

I would have to ask this...(pretty much knowing what you will all say:))... what advantages are there for someone like me who's been riding for 5+ years in taking an MSF course (or the like)? Trial and error teaches well and I've thought of going to a class many times but never could justify the...

Music is my life. I have an undergrad degree in music and a master's degree as well. I play a Yamaha bass guitar. the best bass I've ever played. My church has a full size Yamaha grand which has a much fuller sound and better keyboard action than the infamous Steinway piano. I also played...

Great pics... I think I enjoyed looking at the FJR's more than than anything though... she sure is a pretty bike :) How'd you like 29 dreams... I lived about 15 minutes from there for over a year before I knew it existed. Then 6 months later moved to Georgia. Never had a reason to stay there...

That's my old stomping grounds... I grew up in Moulton. Actually my first ride on a motorcycle (a Honda Nighthawk 750) was on Hwy 33 through Bankhead. If you take that past Double Springs down to Tuscaloosa it continues to be a pretty good ride. However, my favorite ride in AL was from Leeds to...

Remos... I was in that area on that day on a silver '03 with GA plates... I wasn't that far north of Montgomery though. I Got on I 65 in Montgomery off of I 85 from Atlanta. I got off on a couple of exits on I 85, but not I 65. I had a black leather jacket and black helmet before my exit and a...

Sorry for the misplaced thread... but there's a short ride report from my trip from northeast Georgia to Gulf Shores, AL (1094.5 miles round trip)... just look in Iron Butt/Long Distance thread under "First LD ride on my newly aquired '03 FJR" Thanks... Btw, there is a link to some pretty good...

1094.5 total miles travelled! Alright... what a ride. Not as sore as I thought I'd be. Thanks to all of you who offered advice. It helped a lot. I rode 480 miles the first day from north east of Atlanta to Gulf Shores, AL. I took the easy route - mostly interstate. It worked out pretty well...

Thanks to all... I've taken a lot of your advice - except the seat. I can't afford anything more for the thing yet... but the stock seat has done me well for about 3-4 hour rides. We'll see. My biggest problem is that I was sure I was going to be able to get my XM radio installed without any...

Thanks FJR Pierre... I wish I could afford a throttle lock for this one ride. I do have a throttle rocker though, which I'm sure will help some. What brand of throttle lock do you suggest... I've looked at Throttle Meister, but can't quite figure out from written descriptions how you're supposed...

Hey to all... I just got an '03 FJR (Thus the title :rolleyes: :) ). Anyway, I'm going this week from North East Georgia down to Gulf Shores, Alabama. My planned route is to go a little north to I85, down to Atlanta (that'll be fun - Atlanta at about 9:30 am). Then I'll continue on I 85 to...

Thanks for the web addy... I meant to include that for info's sake... It'll be my first "rally"... I've riden with about 15 other bikes at once... but that's the most ever. I'm excited to be around so many others like me. I'll give you all an update on the event and see how it goes.

Anyone out there planning on (or know about) the second year of Rally to Ridgecrest? I'm going on my newly acquired 03 FJR. Ridgecrest is a Baptist Conference Center outside of Ashville, NC. It's over Memorial Day Weekend in May of 07. Anyone that might be going, I'd love to hook up and ride...
