My thoughts and prayers are with you, Howie! I hadn't realized you lost your taste (obviously not ALL your taste, as witnessed by the photo of your doc!), and I know how devastating that is, as I lost mine, completely, for a year, after chemo/radiation for a bout of cancer, about 3 years ago...

Welcome aboard, M.G! :) This is a wonderful bunch of guys that will be more than happy to help you spend your money, and will try to tempt you to buy a newer FJR, but you've got a keeper! Just be careful of what you post on Fridays, I'm warnin' ya! :)

Welcome aboard, M.G! :)

Much as I hate to say it, Bogus, "Welcome to the club!" Fortunately for most of us, the damage was only to our pride. . . Hope the collarbone heals quickly.

Could have been much, much worse, but still, what a drag; glad you're healing and almost ready to go again!

Got 0 moles on my '08, too, and very happy about it! Those things can be pretty pesky! :D

DAMNIT! How did I miss this? All gone. . . :(

Must be a Friday!

Man, am I glad this is on the other side of the country! I'd probably be in the shop to see how much they'd give me on my '08. . .

Since I'm down in Tacoma, I guess it's about the same as up in Seattle; on a nice weekend, I'll see maybe 2 or 3, when I'm out moving around. Now, for a hard left: Ummmm. . . Hey, DCarver; can you get me a job at that plant you mentioned? I had no idea that they were in "production"! As a...

Rub it in, Scooter, rub it in!

Hey guys, just as a matter of curiosity, where the heck is Wayne's shop? 6 years ago, I bought the mesh jacket and liners, but I ordered them, and don't remember where they came from. . . Thanks!

It hurts to read this, RFH; my heart goes out to you. From experience, take it easy on the rib for awhile; stay away from "comedians", and don't sneeze or cough either. . .
