Well, I did get to add to my 'Stupid FJR Tricks' litany of stupid FJR tricks:

I was warming my bike up sitting on the centerstand this morning parked next to a tree. I noticed a high pitch squeal/screech for a fraction of a second when starting the bike.

I shifted 55 times in a minute; then the throttle got too sensitive; the seat was too hard, my grips were too hard the throttle spring was too hard and it started ticking and roasted my left leg so I put the sidestand down to take it off the centerstand. I pulled the front brake lever in until it touched the grip. The front end clunked and I stripped the oil pan while I was gently squeezing my anti-lock brakes like an orange to keep them from locking up.

When I was lowering it off the centerstand, the sidestand collapsed and it landed on my metal slider which broke my frame causing my Metzeler tire to fail and both sidebags to unlock and fall off. The car swerving into my lane couldn't hear my wimpy horn and there was no grease on my spline. It was wobbling at 48.5 mph and the buzzing was making my hands numb. I couldn't hear anything 'cuz of the static in my intercom.

The glovebox wouldn't open and the suspension was too mushy. My cover wore the paint off the tops of my mirrors.

Picking it up, I tore my bicep, wrenched my back, both knees and got monkey butt....

 
Not bad, but the woodchuck comment is still the funniest!

Would that be the "woodchuck comment" or the comment on the "woodchuck comment"?

I assure you, if some bio-diesel vehicle ever barfs a load of fry-oil on the street I'm gonna be all over those anti-lock brakes like a deer in the apex of a turn.

 
Gotta love the new addition about Oranges/ brakes Scythian.

I can see why guys like jestal just gave up here. Ya bring up a valid point, with research to back it up, an some ******** :unsure: feels the need to jawbone with his unproven theory's as to why you are wrong.

To bad.

Sure miss ol' jestal though.

:jester:

 
Sheesh. The only thing missing from this thread is comments from Starcruiser. Then again, Scythian sounds a lot like Starcruiser - they couldn't be related could they? :dribble:

I dont see Starcruiser posting on this forum. But if Scythian were Starcruiser, he would have called anyone who didnt have ABS a cheap *** looser. Unlike SC Scythian at least tried to make a point, not a sale :)

Of course there is only one way to find out for sure... Scythian what kind of windshield do you have? :)

 
Scythian what kind of windshield do you have?
The kind that goes up and down on the FJR :lol:

If you have ABS and you like it, clap your hands :clapping:

If you have ABS and you know it, then your *** will surely show it. :lol:
