    Harley Davidson Mistake

    What terrible customer service,..sad to hear a great American symbol treating you this way. I always wanted a Harley since they retooled to the EVO engine in 1984. Used to ride with 20+ SAE bikers (HD,BSA,Norton,Triumph) in the 70's. Being the only metric rider (Honda 500/4) that always made me...

    Harley Davidson Mistake

    Only if shrapnel misses him...it was bad enough with 1000# pressure plates blowing and piercing drive shaft hump in the 60's.

    Did I just create a problem or make my life easier?

    Better shape than mine was....no issues with my #2 gear....runs great now but not quite as good as my '06.

    Broken part confirmation

    Now that 360 unlimited vision is available for trucks...waiting for bike models so won't need limited vision mirrors.....better yet just give us heads-up helmets fighter pilots use....just need cost to come down from $400k

    Selling? Handling Test Ride Requests

    Now that looks legal..thanks for sharing it! If my gut doesn't fell right, I ask for cash first. They can return it for a refund if not wrecked. The refund is after my inspection and I test drive. I give them a bill of sale but no title until they come back.. Plan on adding something like this...

    Selling? Handling Test Ride Requests

    Yeah...if they roll up on a bike without pulling stunts,,no questions...we trade keys and I get the driver's license to hold. Must prove m/c license regardless and depending on my gut, I might take keys to there ride if it's worth more than the bike.

    2023 FJR1300ES

    Totally agree..FJR in class by itself! Was on my way to buy the ST in '06 BUT stopped by to see what Yammie had...Mgr was riding FJ but wouldn't let me test ride. He said order one and if you don't like it bring it back sooo this is the first bike I bought sight unseen.....Never looked back..FJ...

    I dropped her again.

    Yep...exactly how to get better...loved my MSF advanced course... I watched police compete in obstacle courses with Ultra Glides doing lots of 180 turns in 8-9 ft...seems we can do it in at least 7 w/o front wheelies! Secret is - like you said. - to keep moving and turn your head all the back...

    I dropped her again.

    Yeah...me too...bought my first FJR in '06...brand new & took it home to show my honey....off the stand it went while idling on my slightly-sloped driveway. I couldn't understand why Yami had such terrible stands!?!? All other stands are harder to disengage -most have a small hump/dimple to...

    "New" 2019 FJR1300A, from St. Louis (to Texas)

    You got that right... In 2006 stopped in at Donelson (northside) to ride one but only the manager had one with nobody gonna ride his chariot. Mgr. Larry @ southside talked me into a one while on my way to by a ST1300. He had to order it though. He said I could return if I didn't like it and...
