    Y.E.S. 48 Mo. Plan

    deal went very smooth - $389 as she promised with no added taxes, fees or tricks. i have bought 2 new bikes from britt since 2003. decent folks to deal with but as with most dealers - you need to do your homework before you go in (i.e., prepare for the sales pitch). i can't fault them for...

    2009 0-mile FJR1300A dealer pricing

    very nice bike - you're gonna love it ! i could have pushed for a better deal locally - but the local dealer needed the business so in the end i wound up paying a bit more and worked with him. while that may sound generous - it isn't - i want them to stay in business for my sake more than...

    John Ryan Attempts "Ultimate Coast to Coast"

    and here i was thinking of swapping my feej for a GS, KLR, or Strom in order to do AK in a few years... maybe not?

    How old are you FJR riders?

    buy her something very nice for Mother's Day - she is obviously a great mother!

    WOW - The Feej Is Fast!

    130 to 150 is a quick leap - thank God - because the road is just a blur at that point.

    WOW - The Feej Is Fast!

    i've had mine up over 130 - with plenty more to go. but what i also love about the feej - is how fast it will get back down to 0. :P al

    dual compound tires

    thanks for the replies - i'll keep using it for awhile longer.

    dual compound tires

    no other problems yet - but watching closely. yea it's common for the 021 fronts to wear out before the rears (on feejers).

    53 - less than 10%

    dual compound tires

    i replaced the OEM 021 on the font prior to 4k on the feej. just rolled over 5k on the rear and i can now see the center compound - it visibly contrasts against the softer sides. however the wear bars are still fine and the bike performs fine. should i toss it? maybe NEPRT - but i did a search?

    Unhappy FJR owners?

    well said - any bike will wear your ass out after a long (hot, cold, dusty, dry, wet, all of the above) day of riding - but it hurts so good!

    Why so many '05 FJRs on the market?

    do you know what they're ask'n for the R1? not in the market - but curious. i love that color scheme - if i ever repaint my 08 feej - the yammy yellow & white (using my raven black for stripes) is on my short list of options.

    Color swap?

    looks absolutely beautiful... ummm - just like mine :P

    Metzeler Tires

    just FYI - motorcycle superstore is $171 shipped for a rear 180/55 PR2 - which is about $20 less than JCs pre season sale price... ? QUESTION - anyone ever considered running a PR2 170/60? seems to me (being slightly rounder/ taller) it might make the bike feel a TAD lighter and add a bit more...
