Am 5'8" and love the stock handlebar setup with the low seat. But my last bike was a VFR so take it for what it's worth...

Freaking Awesome win for Tyler AND the team! That kid should never have to buy his own beer in his hometown again!

For baseline data, I am 5'8" and my pants inseam is 29.5". When I upgraded the suspension last fall via the group buy on this forum I had the new Penske shock adjusted to be 1/2 inch shorter, and then lowered the reworked forks in the triple tree by the same amount. It has made a slight...

I can't tell you if the moving company can move your bike. However, if you want a motorcycle specific shipper recommendation I can help. I used Daily Direct to have the FJR shipped from Ohio to Arizona - www.haulbikes.com - and was happy with their service.

The mobile unit that had been located in the westbound lane of I-10 just before the Verrado exit has been removed. Perhaps it's the end of them :yahoo:

Yup, he's good. Just not sure I would have posed for a picture and gave my family information out. This war doesn't appear to be confined to any specific set of borders.

Looks like I'll be able to give a ride report on the 650R. Cosigned for a young friend of mine... who lost his job and couldn't make payments, so it's in my garage at the house in Ohio. I'll be getting it registered next time I'm back in Cleveland. Not exactly what I would have chosen (SV...

Not familiar with those roads.... but your tagline says SE Ohio? You're living in the middle of the biggest and best secret riding location in the midwest. SR 78, SR 26, SR 555, SR 377, just pick one - light traffic and excellent roads.

My son is in the Corps stationed with the 3rd FAST Company. He went thru boot a year ago, and he learned there about the bravery of LCpl Haerter and Cpl Yale. Axe, your son has become part of the lore of the Marine Corps, his story to be passed from generation to generation. I was a Navy...

Have my credit card on hot standby...

I empathize with everyone, this winter is tough - it rained for a couple of hours yesterday, and I did have to wear my Firstgear overpants on my commute to work twice this week! Of course, in July and August we'll be singing a different tune...

I joined the forum in September 2005. Three years later... almost to the day... I bought a new FJR. What a righteous ride! It was worth the wait.

I have been using a pair of ER-6i's for 18 months. They work very well with one stipulation - I can only get a good fit with the foam inserts and not the soft silicone inserts. Unfortunately, the foam inserts only last me 15-20 hours of ride time, and I spend 2 hours a day commuting, so I have...

Jon, I'd be interested in the update. I'm going to buy a dremel and go to work this weekend. An extra inch lower to the ground will help a ton!
