    Was it you?

    Last night around 7:05pm. Near Henry Mayo Hospital. I'm waiting at a light and here comes an FJR (allegedly;-) on one wheel. No side cases. I just smiled. The wife says, "holy sh!t".

    Gentlemen, I've gone to the dark side...

    Gentlemen, I've gone to the dark side...

    Thanks guys. Only have 1500 miles on it so far but every second thus far has been bliss. Impossible to tell someone how fun these bikes are. If you get the cane...ride one.

    Gentlemen, I've gone to the dark side...

    Sold the FJR and bought a Euro-slut. And here she is hooked up to the PC getting a new tune. Handy being able to do everything the dealer can from your own garage. The reasons behind this: 1. I commute 64 miles round trip every day on the bike. In L.A. traffic on a bike as big and heavy...

    Almost traded her in...freshened her up instead

    Sorry! If it makes you feel any better they sound great too. Not terribly loud or annoying. I don't even have the baffles in. I've seen some guys with the 8 inchers....geez that's gotta be loud.

    Almost traded her in...freshened her up instead

    I like your train of thought. My wife has put up with my bike habit ever since we were married. She's been great but would probably shoot me if i got another. Someday.......

    Almost traded her in...freshened her up instead

    After last years week long photo trip to Death Valley and seeing some guys on adventure bikes, I got the itch. Actually made it to the stealership and changed my mind before signing on the dotted line for a Triumph Tiger 800 XCX. Realized that I love my FJR. What was I thinking!!! Used the...

    07 Saddlebag lock set

    I may have a set for a 2010. Not sure if they are the same. Will try and dig them out tomorrow.

    what's the deal with ladders?

    I drove my car to work yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks. Hit a truck tire tread at 85 on the 210. $500 damage to the car. It was basically a full tire without the sidewalls. Shit! Hate to think what would have happened on the bike, although I probably would have been paying more...

    Yamaha Plastic Name Badge for Saddlebag

    I think I have one but the cost to ship from California to Denmark is probably ridiculous? Lane breaking is legal (or at least it's not illegal) here in California. I got a little too up close and personal with the front fender on a Kenworth. No damage to the bike at all other than it popped...

    Any issues w/ the 2010 model...?

    Bought my 2010 new last November. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. I've got 16k miles on it with one saddlesore 1000. Here's a photo with a top case by Shad (SH50) which perfectly matches the liquid silver (not dull gray) paint.

    Finally Got My Shark

    Not really until you get up to about 75 or more. And it depends on where the windshield is too. I did put the bigger wind-mufller thingy on it though.

    Finally Got My Shark

    Yeah I wish I would have bought it years ago. It's been sweltering hot around L.A. for the past couple weeks and it sure is nice to be able to open that sucker up. I think someone else mentioned the aerodynamics. They were soooo right. I can be cruising at 85 and turn my head and I get FAR...

    Long riders...tunes?

    Combination of both for me. On my recent 1000 mile venture it was about 50/50. Nice to have the tunes but also nice to have quiet too.

    Finally Got My Shark

    I think the only difference is it's 200 grams lighter and the opening mechanism is supposedly slightly improved. I rode home yesterday and the outside temp got up to 109 on the way :blink: So of course I rode home in open face mode and was thankful. Although when its gets that hot there's...

    Finally Got My Shark

    Got the Evoline 3 Series in Moovit :yahoo: (Several of my riding buds have already called me Tron) I knew it would happen but hey, it's all good. Whatever I can do to help myself be seen out there.... Here's a few photos and something to think about: when it's in the open face mode, the...
