I finally spent some extended time (6 hours) on the FJR, and we are in love again. I forgot it literally drives itself - and ohhh the SMOOTH POWER! As many stated, the weight disappears once you're on the move. After being on the dirt bike so much, I kept having the urge to stand while riding...

Thanks for the replies. I was planning to get an antique plate for the bike after I got it back on the road. Maybe I will go ahead and get a plate and be done with it.

I am interested in those who have insurance coverage on bikes that are old, sentimental, collector bikes, in storage, or not being ridden for whatever reason. Even though a bike may not be plated and ridden, there are a variety of reasons for having coverage in case of theft or damage. The...

Thanks for the replies! I will inform my family that you have instructed me to drastically increase my seat time. That is what you said - Right?

Fairlaner? Maybe he was missing all of the attention he received in 2008. :)

I am looking for recommendations for motorcycle stores in Atlanta with a large selection of accessories - luggage, riding gear, etc. I am in Atlanta for a couple of days on business, and I need a "fix" while I am away from the bike. Thanks.

They should remove the "Wal" out of Walmart. I think Sam Walton would be appalled at the service in the stores.

I've got the Bilt vest, and I used it for the first time last week. The temps were in the low 90's, and the vest kept me cool for right at 3 hours. I rode for a few hours before I put the vest on, so I could see just what kind of difference it made. It definitely made made the trip more pleasant.
