Craigslist link to my FJR for sale near St. Louis. PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/mcy/4357094392.html

Came across an advertisement for one of these this morning: https://www.optrix.com/store/optrix-xd5/ Seems like a cheap alternative to other action cams out there and eliminates the need to have one more gadget and associated chargers, mounts etc. The other benefit possibly is just having the...

Need some help from the tech guys out there. I have a shop out back about 75’ from the house. Right now it has no phone or data service of any kind. What little cell phone reception I have in my area is completely nonexistent inside the shop which is an all metal building. Hell, the only way I...

I keep hearing this is going to be a long, tough, cold winter so I'm taking every opportunity to get a ride in. Hit upper fifties both days this weekend so went for a ride each day. I'm still taking it easy and trying to wear down a rear shinko that came with the zx. Not an especially confidence...

On a different thread talking about the oldest riders we knew I mentioned a t-shirt I once saw and can no longer find. A couple people expressed interest in it so I had one drawn up. Nothing fancy and not bike specific as I had a variety of interested parties. Anyway here it is: If anyone is...

Anybody looking for a great cool to cold weather jacket and is a size 50 or 52, this is the best deal I've ever seen: https://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/hot+deals/garage+sale+-+1+of+a+kind/teknic_stinger+jacket I've worn this jacket for 3 or 4 years now and love it. It has been very...

My trusty nuvi 750 bit the dust a couple months ago during a get off. With an MP3 player, headphone jack for ear buds and ability to load routes it was everything I needed for long rides. Now I need a replacement but I want to go a different direction. I just received my Sena intercom so now...

I don't pass along jokes very often, but this one hit too close to home. I'm sure most of you can relate. https://vimeo.com/66753575

After owning her for a mere 5 months and about 2,000 miles, I managed to total out my 09 zx14 SE. All my fault came- in too hot on a right hander with a front tire worn past the wear bars. I was too deep into the turn to brake so I just leaned over more and tried to ride her out. Not sure if...

What a day! 70+ in December and the roads were clean. Got about 220 in today on the new scoot, riding all the roads in and around Hootervile, Saw more FJR's in Potosi, MO than I've ever seen out, including Bluedog's new 2013. Nice meeting you, Ron, as well as your son. PM me anytime you're up...

Anybody who’s ridden with me much knows I tend to ride a little on the aggressive side and love to carve up a twisty or two. Most weekends I’m out running around with liter sport bikes and for the most part kept up with all but the best of riders. Although I had the FJR’s stock suspension as...

You were riding a silver FJR 2up when we passed at the intersection of T and TT. Anybody from here? Don't see FJR's around here much.

I tried to put to use a AM-FM radio in the shop with limited success. I've always got lots of static on pretty much all stations and I attributed it to the metal building. Tried grounding the antenna, no luck. My next step was going to maybe buy a radio that had antenna hookups and mount an...

Well it was a beautiful day here Sunday, but I between chores and staying with the kids, I didn't get any time to go for a ride. As I was watching all the other riders flying past my house, I at least had a chance to do some spring cleaning. Heres a couple of pics: Bike's an 08 while the jeep...

Was that anybody on this forum on the black 08 or 09 Feej crossing the Missouri river on 47? Hope I didn't startle you when I pulled up alongside to get your attention. Would have rode further with you but had to turn onto 94 with the rest of my group.

Tried a search but did not turn up anything. Developed a test route on MapQuest with numerous way points and downloaded into my Garmin 760. I gave it a test drive to see what happened once I hit a way point, bypassed one, etc. So far so good, but what I found was I had no voice navigation. I...

Since getting the FJR last fall I've been going back and forth on selling the Suzuki. It's been a great bike for the last twelve years, but ultimately I just couldn't justify to myself keeping two bikes. I barely ride one bike enough. I can't commute daily on a bike and with just the weekends...

Well I finally got around to installing my first official farkles after gathering the parts over the last couple of months. First off was the Jensen AM/FM radio: I used a tank mount centerstand from SW Motech. I liked this way over a stem mount as it is stationary and needs less play in the...

Now that somebody mentioned wind - just how stiff are all these different mounts. The jensen radio that just arrived last night has fairly stiff buttons and assume would not work well on a ball mount unless I put my fingers behind the radio and pushed buttons with my thumb. Can the techmount...

First off let me start by saying I'm new to this farkling stuff, techo-challenged and cheap. However, I would like get some gps and also upgrade from my little AAA powered MP3 player with POS helmet speakers. Could barely ever hear anything above the wind noise. So after some review of alot of...
