Free country-everyone is entitled to their own opinion-this is not intended to slam ANY body. Last season was trying to explain to a relative youngster (just 30sumthin on an R1) what bike tires were like in the 80s and what it felt like to ride hard on them. Corners that I slid around then are...

On the way out after getting shut down by rain.. 2 FJRs. Maroon ('07?) and Silver (just got a glance). I was in the back seat of a Toyota Minivan pulling a golf cart on a trailer. Guess I thought I was the only one that enjoyed watching people drive fast down a runway...

On my favorite short "closed course". Have been riding it since I was 18 and some change. First hard run on my new Angel GT "A" specs (never had a set before). I learned to corner hard by maintaining my line with the twisty thingie. Tonight was running hard-ish into the limiter in 3rd when I...

As I jammed a paper towel in it and stuck it back up on the shelf (after measuring fresh fork oil, rear end fluid, & coolant with it) just wondered how many other people on here still own one?

Got the shells and pins today to make a tail marker/brake light breakout harness (LH 6pin by the airbox lid) for the LED aux brake light I will be installing next week-hopefully. Can someone either give me the wire size from previous experience or point to the right spot in the factory service...

Middle daughter is home this summer doing a grad school internship locally. Aside from a medical incident a couple years ago (she broke her freaking neck) first time she's lived at home since she left as a freshman. Texts me a video w/sound of her '08 Impala making a grinding noise & the check...

Best pass was 11.5518 @ 120.03. 60ft was 2.02. Been a couple years since I've been, first time on any bike. Ran with traction control on and pretty much my typical load of stuff in the side bags plus anything that the four other bikes that went with needed to stash. Running pretty much even...

Niece's husband talked me into parking my FJR beside his R1 at a local festival. Never done anything like this before. So. Opinions. Saddlebags or not? I have realtime rear bag reflectors w/Yamaha insignia FWIW. I am thinking bags.

The windshield that was on my used 2015A has the National Cycle logo/DOT # on one side and an FJR on the other side. Seems to be about standard FJR size and has a slight dip in the center of the top edge. Replaced it with a tall VStream for off-season and am just curious if this one is the OEM...

The label (and the picture) came from my niece's husband. Label is due to the fact that the pic was taken shortly after wrecked my '08 and had not found my '15 yet. He is the guy that made sure I could ride to work the day after my accident-on his R1. Had "made" the shirt like a week before the...

Took a robin on the way to work this morning below the partially extended windscreen on the LH side. Got a crash course in stripping the side panels and front cowl/headlight bucket. Most of it came up under the windscreen, but a good (?) portion blew through the adjuster slot. Saw feathers...

or to put it another way, why is my 2015 (w/1600 miles) down on power compared to my 2008 (formerly w/25,000 miles-R.I.P.) ? Had the opportunity this morning to do some data collection w/GPS. Pretty much confirmed the "butt-dyno" readings. Altitude/atmospheric pressure, temperature and relative...

As described, the bags complete less badges (latches fully functional, hooks intact, w/one key fits locks) as removed from my "granite gray" ? 2008 AE. Had a relatively low-speed frontal collision, bike ended up resting on RH side. RH lid has scratches radially from falling sideways onto the...

First $115.00 via paypal-will ship in a small priority mail flat rate box on my dime. $120.00 if you want me to ship UPS ground. Continental USA only. Brought the '08 home a week ago Saturday, got the hardware to remove the highway pegs two days ago. As removed, what you see in the pic with my...
