[Mount Rainier]

Winter can be a challenge. Don't forget to check the air in that bicycle tire come spring. It looks a little low.

Keep Going!

Why on earth did you pull the engine out of the frame?

Is this just some sort of strange exercise to prove that you can field strip your FJR in less than a winter? :blink:

You do know that you can do all of those things listed with the bike still put together, right?

 

[TriggerT]

WOW, and I thought my FJR was in a lot of pieces.

 

[wheatonFJR]

Dropped a penny in there, didn't ya?

(You are putting it back together, right?)

Uh Fred, you do know you're speaking to a Canadian, don't you? After years with them on our Forum and at their annual CFR's, you do realize they march to the beat of a "different" drummer!

 

[bradman]

Wow! That's incredible to think that all of those parts will be a working motorcycle again. :dribble:

I'm going to change my oil and change my own tires, but that is scary. LOL!

He's not finished taking it apart yet.

I know, he's going to write and copyright a new service manual.

Rhetorical:

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply (ex: "Why me?") Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the question must be. ...

Yes...........but why do people climb Everest??? I'm hoping for no leftover bolts!!!!

Today over Donner Pass. When I bought the FJR December 1, I left the cruiser in Reno. Today was the day to retrieve it.

Feels like a truck compared to the FJR, but its a ride.

Ah, I'm down with that. PMS inspired recreational maintenance. :thumbsup:

 

[bradman]

Nice photos Tom!!

I thought the same thing about my cruiser. I didn't even want to ride it after I bought the FJR.

:yahoo:

In fact, Matt and I just got our second snow yesterday, about 3". The first was about 1". But, for those of you who have never changed a CCT, you know it is about 50 times faster with the engine out.

It's kind of a sad picture seeing a FJR dismembered like that.

I have a stock 04 shock, if interested send me a pm.

Looks pretty normal to me!
