S.O. & I recently rode to the Dallas IMS M/C show and had a great ride and a great time at the show. Our itinerary included: Guadalupe Peak (highest point in TX), Whites City NM (whole town/resort purchased on ebay a couple years ago for about $800K), Davis Mts., Big Bend (stayed at Chisos...

I had occasion to talk with Yamaha/Cypress recently and somewhere in the conversation the customer service dude said, "There's no Yamaha dealer in Albuquerque." I thought there were several -- have they all gone under? Anyone know... :unsure:

I recently picked up a copy of the English magazine, Visor Down (used to be T.W.O.?) -- Feb. 2010 issue. In it they compare 'used tourers': 2007 BMW K1200GT; 2007 Honda PanEuropean (ST1300); and 2006 Yamaha FJR1300A. The test is fairly comprehensive and doesn't seem biased -- there's a little...

Hey, all'y'all in Illinois -- I was recently on a trip in that part of the country and crossed into Illinois (I think it was IL -- there was a toll bridge...?; it was in the southern part of the state and I tend to get IL, IN, MO, & KY all mixed-up...). Anyway, there was a legal-looking state...

I was riding with a few buddies one day when we passed a roadside business -- palm reader/fortune teller. Later, at a rest stop, one of my buddies mentioned something about the clairvoyant/mystic we rode by. Whereupon, one of the other guys said: "Do you think she knew we weren't going to stop?"

A friend who's been in the m/c industry a long time (in a discussion about the FJR AE) said this: "I think confusion about how or how well it worked plus the difference in MSRP may have contributed to it's demise." While he doesn't actually say it's gone -- he kind'a infers it..... :unsure...

With this successful tie-up: Probably (?) joining this: Will FJR riders soon be shopping MoPar...? :o :unsure:
