    For Sale - 2007 FJR (Green Bay WI)

    Thank you. I really don't want to sell it, but I've got two other bikes and my wife (who is really great about letting me enjoy my hobbies) says two bikes is enough for now .. because one bike is new last fall and my wife says the RS Venture can't go, the FJR ends up being the odd bike out.

    Advice on my first SaddleSore 1000

    You can still do a circle route .. just go on past your original starting point to get the needed miles. A friend and I just did our first official SS1000 Saturday June 20th. We started in Eau Claire WI...if we would have come back to the same spot to end we'd have been about 5 miles...

    I had a dunderhead incident early this morning...

    Makes a nice bang when that happens (and I switch it back on) at speed on the Venture. Curt

    RPMs in the twisties

    Hmmmmm......you haven't ridden some of the roads in northwest IL or the southern part of state; or some of the roads in WI to the north or MO to the west have you?. :rolleyes: Plenty of twisties to keep your fun meter pegged! Nice road out of Potosi MO that rivals anything in WV or NC...

    American Family Insurance on your bike - CHECK YOUR COVERAGE!

    Same thing on our RS Venture as well...basic policy covers the frame, tank, fenders, motor, and wheels; fairing, saddlebags, and trunk (all techically permanently attached) are not covered. I went to them from Dairyland (Sentry) when I went to work for AmFam back in 2000. The agent then didn't...

    CFO 2009

    The "alphabet" roads can make for a fun ride. A couple of years ago a friend in LaCrosse challenged me to ride from Suamico (Green Bay) to Goose Island Campground (LaCrosse/Stoddard) using only alphabet roads...he thought he'd be generous and allow me 50 miles of numbered roads for the ride...

    Bikes, Blues, and Barbecue--Sept 24-28, 2008

    Change of plans for me...I have to leave Saturday to head back to Wisconsin, so I won't be able to join you. Actually has a little to do with having the Venture here and not the FJR; 850 miles is a whole bunch easier on my body riding the FJR than 850 miles would be on the Venture....and I'm...

    Southwest Wisconsin Spin

    Dang I wish I could join you .... I'll be a bachelor for a few weeks starting that weekend but I'll be on the Venture that Saturday coming back from Arkansas...guess I'll just have to entertain myself by scraping floorboards on the twisties in the Mark Twain NF. Maybe see some of you the...

    Are FJR's as top heavy as the old Concours?

    <_< Hmmm...Connies top heavy? At slow speeds, yes...even more so than either of my Ventures....but on the track and in the twisties the Connie never knew the difference :yahoo: Curt

    My first experience with a motorcycle lift.

    I've had the same lift for a couple of years now and use it for just about everything can think of in the way of "toy" maintenance and yard equipment maintenance. The reason I quoted the comment above is that in addition to my FJR, I also own a 06 RS Venture (a 99 RS Venture before that). The...
