    “CHiPs” reruns

    Ive been watching reruns of CHiPs due to winter boredom. The series basically sucks, but I like to see the old classic cars and bikes. Ive noticed that the stars of the show usually mount their motorcycle from the right, as sitting on the bike. Is this a west coast thing, like the choice of...

    Hot legs

    Not sure what caused this, but Jeanne said her right leg felt like it was on fire! I pulled over to see what was wrong, and we found nothing. See felt it through her boots and jeans. Just prior to that I had smelled antifreeze, but was in traffic and dismissed it. I had also just done some...

    Why do I put up with this ?

    I keep asking myself why do I put up with these problems that my FJR is putting me through? First it was the top box mounting bracket. Then it was the ECU recall. Next was the herky jerky, on again off again throttle. Fixed that with a PC III. Now the ignition switch goes out. Did a...

    Grand kids got an FJR

    My grandson called to tell me he got a motorcycle just like Pap Pap's. Turns out to be a scaled down version of a blue FJR with side bags. Daughter said she picked it up at Toys R Us, and the boys are fighting over it. I want one too!

    Safety Inspection Sticker

    Not all states have a safety inspection, but mine does. I think it's a good thing to some extent. My gripe is that the stickers are always an ugly color. Last years was puke green. This years is blood red. They must be placed on the lower fork leg for everyone to see. Last couple of years the...

    My quiet FJR

    I get a lot of comments on my FJR. I've heard how nice it looks, what a pretty color it is, or a lot of other good comments, but what I've noticed is that almost everyone remarks how they like the fact that it is very quiet. I never considered the fact that a lot of people are turned off by loud...

    Wheel balance

    When it's time for me to get new tires, which is going to be soon, how should they be balanced? I get my car tires done on a high speed balancer, and I never drive it faster than 65mph. I don't like the idea of using a bubble balancer or similar (spin balance on a stand) for something that's...

    Aftermarket retailers

    I am sick and tired of the over inflated prices that after market suppliers charge for their products. I am not grouping all retailers together. There are those who sell a good product at a reasonable price, but dam few. One good example is the price of slip-on's. I have seen prices in the range...
