Whats wrong with scooters??? Riding a moped rebuilt with a chain saw motor. Figure its time to move up since my flip flops and board shorts keep getting hung up in the spokes.
Asked my local dealer about a test ride on a FJR. His comment was sure, buy the bike, if you don't like it the first 10 miles bring it back. I walked out the door.
I can go to my local Triumph/Victory dealer or BMW dealer and ask for a test ride and their first question is when do you want to...
What's the problem? That's standard riding gear in Florida during the summer???? Would suggest getting some Bohn armor for under those shorts..................
Here's the link for "YODA". Good stuff
Ok, having trouble inserting link. You'll just have to cut and paste, sorry

Understand your pain (49 next month). Aspercreme is a huge help. Always apply some (not much) before a long ride. Doesn't help I banged up my left shoulder last July in an accident.
Have also started taking yoga classes. Go to Chiro and massage therapist regular and both bitch at me about...
For the first time ran into 3 FJR riders this weekend. After talking with a couple of them must say the bike has moved up the list of next purchase.
One guy was on his second FJR, now on 06. Rides primarily two up with his wife. I spoke with her also about pillon comfort. She had nothing...
Anyone know of a outlet to rent a FJR in Central Florida? Live in the Tampa Area but would be worth the trip to go to Orlando or Daytona to rent one. Would like to give one a test ride for a day or two. All I have found so far in internet searches is plenty of Harleys and BMW's for rent.
Traveling down the interstate when the bumper fell off the car in front of me. By some odd luck it didn't bounce up and I was able to run over top of it as there was no way to avoid it. Was glad to be in my truck and not on a bike.
What I wonder is why several students did not rush the guy and put him down? He was killing anyone anyway, why did they not try to stop him?
the comment made about this subject this morning was that in the shock of the situation people think, if I run he shoot's me in the back, if I rush him he...
Just looking at a Shoei Review on WebBikeworld.com. Noted the following comments
Shoei's AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix plus Multiple Fibers) combines fiberglass, organic fibers and some proprietary "high performance fiber" (which looks a lot like carbon fiber) in a patented mixture that...
Agree with Geezer, always thought Snell should offer better protection than just plan DOT. Now I wonder if it's time to hang the Shoei RF-1000 on the wall and get another helmet. Looks like time for a little more investigation............
I am in no hurry at this point, am in process of changing jobs hopefully by late summer. Would consider looking at used if in good shape and price is right (isn't that always the issue).
Wife is not thrilled with color of 2007 model. So.......may have to go used or wait till 08
Just got back from Yamaha dealer. The FJR is a nice bike.
Actually in St Pete. Went to Barneys here locally. Was down at St Pete Triumph store and talking with a guy that said he bought several bikes from a Yamaha Dealer in North Tampa. Actually had owned a couple diff FJR's and liked the...
