Today I posted on the fjr forum since....since....I can't remember when I last posted. Oh, I put a new front tire on the ol' skoot and realized I probably need new front rotors and brake pads.....how many miles you old guys get out of them front rotors, by the way? 05 only has 61 thousand miles on it since new. Front fork seals probably have leaked all the oil out of them(oh well).

I also bought a half shell helmet today...won't explain why to y'all. Hope y'all are doing ok.....

except for bustanut......he's a douchebag.

odot!!!!!

I miss you man! :wub:

 
Put a new front tire on (Pirelli Angel ST) and just had to ride so first I went here. Haw River is so new to our State Park system there's not even an official sign yet

A fine day for a few hrs on the road.

 
Well took the MRA shield off and put the Rifle Barn Door on. Big difference in protection and air flow. Much needed here in PA.

Seems my Aero Stitch is too hard on the MagKnight magnetic protector. It tore it up over my trip.

I love these and would recommend them hands down over anything I have seen to do this function on the FJR.

 
I installed the AdMore lighting to my Givi E-55 top case which includes brake, turn signals and flashers. I'm very pleased with the product as the oem brake lights in the case from Givi are poor at best. The AdMore Light Kit was purchased from another FJR Forum member and it included the FJR cable that plugs right into the wiring harness. There was no wire splicing to be done. Nice and clean installation.

Shoulda held out for a '13!

 
This is a Good News and Bad News Story for MEM - Mary Ellen and Miss Barb. MEM is storing her Yamaha FZ6 that she calls "Mini-Me" (Papa Chuy Viejo calls it "Red Rocket!) at my home here in Chandler, Arizona this Winter; this was originally Bodacious Miss Barb's bike from Vancouver Island, Canuckistan.

My project today was to add Deltran battery tender leads to "Mini-Me" to keep the battery charged, once a week I have been firing up "Red Rocket" and riding her around my housing subdivision; plus checking the oil and tire pressures.

A very easy project after two plastic panels and the fuel tank are removed.

I adjusted the leads perfectly with properly placed zip ties so Mi Querida Especial Maria Elena can easily tuck the lead up under the gas tank when not in use.

However, at the conclusion of this project is when the Bad News started. My illegitimate bastard Hijo (Son) SkooterG was over with his Primo (Cousin) Enrique, Senor Garza es mi Sobrino (my Nephew). I went into the kitchen to fetch beer and fresh pork tamales and this started the Bad News:

Henry snapped these pictures while I was en La Cocina de Casa del Stanley, first SkooterG was caught sniffing the rear of MEM's FZ6

Then he started sniffing the seat from a few inches away, Sick Bastard!

Sadly Barb and MEM, Bad Puppy SkootyG proceeded to fully grind his nose into the seat material!

Ladies, I truly wish I could tell you both it did not get any worse from that point on; however, I regret to inform you that GreggieM ejaculated a "deposit" on your seat. I did my best to clean up the white stain from the leather with 409 detergent and paper towels, but was unsuccessful and I will try saddle soap and white rags next. I solemnly promise Mary Ellen and Barb that this will not happen again if I can help it, but I can't keep my eyes on SkooterG 24/7! My sincerest apologies, I am so sorry about this!

Is this a typical day for you Don?
It was actually pretty typical Mark, yesterday I had to shave SkooterG's back which is abnormal; God damn I hate that job, I sure wish that johnny80s would do it instead!
Don't you have a varmint rifle to take care of critters like this???

Hard to follow up what BD had to say about SG....

But I went out to the garage and firmly kicked my '04 in the applesack for NOT being a sweet, new 2013 FJR.

Gen 3s RULE...Gen 2s drool! Yamaha FINALLY got it right!!!
