    Naval Aviation Museum

    Thanks for sharing... Las time I made it to that museum was around 1985. It looks like they have done a great job of maintaining and improving it. CaryB

    Mac / Java Upgrade

    Keep us in mind

    Well, I am west of you in Sugar Land. The most recent update makes Fort Bend County look like the The Ike Freeway! We are mostly prepared at this point but we are still vacillating on the decision to stay or go. The darn thing is behaving a little like Rita. It keeps fading east at each update...

    Need outside opinion on daughters riding freedom

    I was in the same position with my eldest son about a year an half ago. The rules with me were that if he was going to ride it had to be with me. Otherwise, the bike was off limits. We have been taking that approach for about a year and I am now just beginning to let him take the bike...

    Good Place to stay in Northern California

    Thanks for the feed back... Given your responses I think we will plan on staying in or around Fort Bragg so the kids can be close to the beach. I wish I were going to be on the FJR but its kind of hard to go 4-up on it :rolleyes: One day I will make it out that way on the bike but this is not...

    Good Place to stay in Northern California

    The family is going to be doing some sight seeing in Northern California in Mid August. Specifically, we will be driving from San Francisco to the Humboldt Redwood forest. I was thinking that the town of Fort Bragg on the coast might be nice but I have no experience in that part of the state...

    HJC Helmet online

    I got this one: HJC AC-12 For a $120 it is hard to beat. I have been using it for a little while and really like it. It is set up to make speaker installation easy. It flows a fair amount of air but still is pretty quiet. If it has a down side it is the visor which does not have enough...

    New suspension settings

    I did these adjustments on Friday and went for a ride Saturday. I was a little leery of doing these adjustments myself but everything you need to know is in the write up and in the owners manual. Read the materials twice made the adjustments and then re-read again to verify that I had done...

    Laminar Lip on 06 FJR with OEM Tall Screen

    I did not notice excessive shake from the windshield with the addition of the Laminar Lip. I did not encounter much cross wind today. That may have some impact. All in all, it seemed pretty stable. CaryB

    Laminar Lip on 06 FJR with OEM Tall Screen

    Like many of you here I have been trying to achieve wind protection nirvana on my 06 FJR. I have tried the stock windscreen, CalSci Tall, OEM tall and Cee Bailey +6 +2 with a flip. None of those windscreens really worked for me. The best was the OEM tall but it had a real problem with buffeting...

    WTB - Laminar lip for an 06

    Thanks guys for the quick responses. It looks like I have a line on one of these to try out. I will try to add to the collective wind management knowledge of the forum once I have had a chance to try this out. Thanks, CaryB

    Best earplugs

    I use these: https://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/esobl3bof200.html I find them comfortable both for motorcycling and shooting. $20 for a couple hundred pairs makes it ok to lose them and share with others. The website also has lots of info on what seems to be all types of earplugs. CaryB
