Hit one doing 75mph with my brother as a passenger in Oregon close to Cave Junction...Did not see her until she was about five feet dead center....Wham Bang, knocked it 125 feet down the road and the FJR just wiggled a bit......Lost every piece of plastic from the foot pegs forward and the...

77 and no backseat drivers are allowed

Great article on Mosquito Ridge. We travel there a couple times a year to ride that area and then go to the speedway races in Auburn on Friday nights. 7PM $10.00 entry fee. A great show almost every friday night .....

When you find a deer sticker that is appropiate let me know. I kept mine up also at 70 mph and threw the deer 100 feet down the road. Lost every bit of plastic and headlight on the front and side of the bike. The fix wasn't hard to do. Ron Ayres.com plastics were available and for a lot less...

Just a word to the wise. Going up the coast on hwy 1 chips are in the area. Fort Ross area north to Stewarts point. I know (don't ask me). Can't make this one, have a nice ride....... :bike:

Although not a personal friend , I felt through the forum that I somehow knew him after all. May God go with you Andrew, we will all miss you.......

Wow, I think that we should form some sort of a deer strike club. (See A Miracle post on Oct 3rd) Your strike was almost a clone of mine except I knocked the thilng 100 feet down the road. You could have charged a carrying fee.........Just ordered 1300.00 worth of plastic and such from Ron...

Just a few words to praise the sturdyness of the FJR......... While riding double down a road in Oregon a week or so ago a miracle occured........ At a speed of 70 mph with a passenger on the rear suddenly at no more that 10 feet away was a deer. We hit the SOB dead center, threw it over...

I also have the full system with the PC111. It rocks. Just like the above post. Less heat etc etc. but I found a little less MPG, but no biggie. :yahoo:

I'm in for this one. Morgan Valley road turns into Knoxville road where all the water crossing are. If it rains hard at all previously to the ride date they will close it. a real goat trail with lots of holes and ruts and water. Fun for me, but not for everyone.....

curved 15 inch spoons, and most of all rim savers with a cord attached, and I use two woodclamps on the tire to squeeze it . (3 rim savers) And a warm tire with detergent.

Installed a power commander on my 03 using wallys smoothness map. Worked great. Since then I have installed the complete holeshot system with Dale's map. Even better, with no more heat from the cat and more bang for the buck......Sound is terrific. :rolleyes:

Just a line to inform you that you have the right idea. I installed the complete holeshot system (expensive) on my 2003 with 6K on it. All the jerks and lean surging went completely away. Dale sent me the map that goes with it also. Mileage went down a couple notches but the smoothness and...

I cut off the rear fender 2", now the tire rolls out easy and I think the fender looks cleaner now. :rolleyes:

I have an 03 and after installing the throttlemeister (long end) it took almost all vibs out of it. It did not have much to start with. Any heavy bar ends will help.

What you say about having your bags on makes sense. I usually ride without them but am leaning towards putting them on again. Good luck, heal quickly.

Of all the type tires I have used the Avon's do not have a dot on them to line up with the heavy part of the wheel.???????????Your method work ok but with a little spinning of the tire one way or the other.

Installed a PC just before the Reno thing. Have been waiting for over a month or so for my complete DW system. Decided that eliminating the cat and having coated pipes inside and out would be benificial in reducing standing heat. I thought that the PC might cause the bike to run rich (without...

Never had a canyon dancer system fail in 50 years of towing bikes.
