    Had a friend (passed away) who loved going from Dallas To Puerto Villarta on his Guzzi El Dorado....all he could talk about was the good times and hospitality he enjoyed with the locals in all the little villages he got to spend the night in..... I'd love to hear about anyone else's adventures...

    How insurance rates are based....

    1. location,,,,in Texas it is County by county...the county it is garaged that is....So if you live in Harris County (Houston) and have a lake house or Condo in Walker County.......try to insure your bike and cars with an agent there during one of your extended stays.......then you're not lying...

    How about $90/yr for insurance

    Yamaha financial doesn't require you carry full coverage.......Yamaha Credit is the only Financial institution who accepts Liability only!!!!!!!!! Which runs around $90......check it out....Yea, if you can find full coverage for $400-500, buy it...Otherwise, you'd be fool to pay $1000s for even...

    Luv to hear about anyone's Mexico trips

    Had a friend (passed on) who consistently harped on the joys of riding his vintage 72 Moto Guzzi EL DORADO down thru Central Mexico every year to Puerto Villarta.......Can't say his stories of $10 rooms, $5 whores, .10 joints and .25 tequila shots aren't permanently etched somewhere in the back...

    Buy the Warranty or not?

    One of the main reasons I'm buying a Yamaha over BMW is reliability. I can't imagine any problems (even on an AE) as I've never had any problems in 40 years with any of my Hondas......So, I'm asking you Yamaha freaks, why not save the money and believe in Yamaha ? Or is there something I don't...

    Here's a total different way of breaking in a new bike from an expert on Motorcycle Engines....Anybody ever listen to this guy and tried this? Could you tell any difference? What he recommends for the first couple of thousand miles to make the engine perform at it's highest potential is almost...

    Is a FJR a money thing?

    I have notice many saying they are drawn to the FJR because it's a deal..as BMWs have gotten way too expensive...... Is that the big draw........the cheapness? You don't have enough money for BMW or just too cheap to put out the bucks? If money was no object........would you even in the...

    What's the NUT when it comes to leathers

    How fast is this bike anyway?

    I was going down a major highway in Dallas the other night when a group of motorcycles passed me, all doing wheelies going well over 100 mph!! Not that I ever would even dream of riding like that, but could you with ease? Could I keep up with a Suziki GSX 1000 or a Kawasaki Nija if I wanted to...

I'm an insurance agent in Texas, and to give you an idea of what's going on in this country, back in 1998 I got a call from my Ins Co advising us to vote for Bush for Gov of Texas as they owned him and if he...

    I just put down a deposit for an 06 AE with a dealer in Dallas......He told me that they will come off MSRP $1000 for a presold 06 FJR AE....Since MSRP is 15,299 and are delivered fully loaded there should be NO ADD ONS, that puts me in the bike for $14,299... What kind of pricing have your...
