    Front wheel buzzing sound...

    debris hiding between the fender and tire??? Just 4 screws hold the fender in place. I'd start there.

    Would you buy one?

    Honda ST, FJR, and Concours all struggled with heat on the rider. None of them nailed it right out of the box. But, at least coffee can fixes helped. And later years, offered band-aids. Now comes the Motus with even more power and more heat pouring from the engine and headers. So, let's put...

    EOM '11

    Reservation made at the lodge. I figured out, if I drive down, we can check out a day early, throw the stuff in the car, ride all day, then drive home that night with help from Mrs. It'll take a hundred of the hotel tab with the same amount of riding. :rolleyes: That's my excuse for trying...

    How does one become an EOM host?

    Another thumbs up. I like the idea of being in August and have never riden the area. I think just about all schools start earlier now. Another education fashion is "year round school" (same total # of days) but summer break is cut in half. Glad we don't have that here yet. I'm gonna ask...

    best place to get body pieces

    shipping is a factor. For you on east coast, you probably want Ronayers.com Specifically on body panels, they are it. Others (like KRcycles) might throw you a low price then smack you with a $15 handling charge at checkout.

    New Bike Prices

    I saw the same thing when shopping for a Honda CR-V. I thought I could save some bucks getting a year old used one. But, none could be bought for the price of brand new. Ended up with a brand new one.... I think people try to price a low mile used vehicle based on being lower than sticker of...

    NCR unveils 200 pluss hp, 319 lb Ducati

    I saw this bike (several times) at the MotoGp in Indy. An old guy standing next to it said his son designed it. He was very proud. He said depending on options the price is $160 - $200 K. They have a case that looks like a suit case for a couple rifles. Inside is parts laid into foam...

    Indianapolis MotoGP 2010

    I'll be there. I had a good time last year on Saturday night. It was cool to see thousands of bikes parked on Jackson street. Bikes lined up side by side for blocks in every direction, on both sides and double stacked on the double yellow. I imagine it looks a lot like Daytona bike week...

    What should I look out for on an 03 FJR?

    There is one significant issue: If the tach is above 4K, in 2nd gear, and you whack the throttle, the front wheel levitates. I think it is a factory defect..... But seriously, Unmodified Gen 1's put a lot of heat on the rider's left shin and the tank gets hot if running under a quarter tank...

    Bike Shops not wanting to install tires they didn't sell.

    Find a real dealership that wants whatever business you want to give them, and then give them all your business. Life is to short to waste deaing with haters... Most dealers in my area either don't do internet tires or try to charge insulting prices. The few that will service my needs are the...

    What to do with gear while at IMS?

    I used the gear check last year. They were supposed to have two, but I only found one in the Ducati world section. They give you a large trashbag to fill, tie it off and give you a claim stub. It worked very well.

    Indy Moto GP looking for opinions

    Drewvanracer has held FJRforum festivities at has RV for a couple years. I think he got a set of tix again. General 3 day pass is $75. A pretty sweet deal. It isn't really crowded enough to justify reserve tickets, unless you can weasle into a suite. Downtown evening activities are numerous...

    delete email from silverfjr

    My Yahoo contacts has been hacked and an autobot has sent an email with a link to a malicious web site (virus). If you you get an email from "silverfjr" which does not have anything in the subject header just delete it. After 7 years, my FJR contacts list is pretty long. Sorry folks. If you...
