So Warchild,

Are we going to see a new avatar? Something with the #185 on it now. Just curious. :dribble:

Congrats on the new ride WC. As to farkles, stick with the rattle cans and save all your money for tires.

And yes, it's still speeding if only one wheel is on the ground. "Press hard, three copies" is not a phrase you want to hear!

Heh.... no.

At least, probably not here.... but maybe on the brand new R-1 forum that has just been stood up this month: https://www.r1messagenet.com/

The other long-time, well-established R-1 forum (r1-forum.com) is completely ate-up with a bazillion ads, banners, animations and bullshit crap. It's too hard to deal with... the new R1 forum is clean and ad-free... just like this one!

.....and hopefully it stays that way.

'Bout frickin' time you started showing up here, Roger! B)

C'mon, post up a photo of your red FJR, a lot of folks haven't seen it yet....

Sure, it'll stay ad-free as long as we all contribute money to a Community Chest and ... oh,.... wait,....never mind, wrong forum.

Thanks WC! The old one was a pain.

Crap, that's hard on the eyes with the dark background and dim text.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Woodstock]

WC, what was your break-in strategy with the R1?

 

[Vulcan]

Sharp looking bike but my ass hurts just looking at the tiny seat.....How about a ride report.

 

[Warchild]

Crap, that's hard on the eyes with the dark background and dim text.

Yes, it is, the default "skin" is "Plasma", one of three skins available at the moment. However, at the lower left corner of any page, you can select the "Ambience" skin, which is much more readable.... though the header image hasn't been made to look "R1-ish" yet.

There is also a "Mobile" skin for those hip, busy 20-somethings on the go with their PDA's and other mobile devices.... :agent:

WC, what was your break-in strategy with the R1?

Nothing too fancy.... pretty much by the book, except I did do the initial oil/filter change at ~ 30 miles, and again at the normally scheduled 600-mile point. Staying with YamaLube 20W-40 until the next change at 4000 miles.

How about a ride report.

I am going on a rather hefty IBR bonus verification run this weekend, and I'll have well, WELL over 1000 miles on the bike when I return. I'll write up my traditional "1000-mile Report" after that run....

You suck man, and I mean that in the nicest possible way, you bastard. (envious smiley face here).

I wouldn't be so bold as to compete with pics of a beautiful R1 on this thread

And anyway -- have NOT figured out this pic posting yet, I'm ashamed to say

:lol:

 

[rogdeb]

Can't even do this "quote" thing properly!!

Guess I'm in "vacation mode" already :lol:

 

[twowheelnut]

Allow me...

That studly he-man would be the 'Rog' in rogdeb! :thumbup:

 

[ock913]

OK Rog ..... I don't know ya, but you need to figure out the picture posting cuz I would like to see a good side view of that red FJR. That looks awfully damn nice from here.
