Amen to that. Glad to hear Skoot will be ok. Also happy to hear that he was so well looked after - kudos to all who helped!

Big fun! The best though was the briefcase - that is one unique leather treatment he just did! :D

Hey Randy - is this for your ticker problem? What dealer are you going to? Have you dealt with them before, or are you taking a chance? ;)

Shrinath, congratulations!! And +1 on the great negotiating skills!! But, I was really trying to take it easy during that ride...my wife never complained. :P

Isn't the Quest 1 a big step down, at $450 vs $750 retail? I've been very happy with my 2610 that I got reconditioned on Ebay for $450. Love the configurability and the ability to upload and download from Mapsource. Some minor problems with reception in trees, but no 1000 mile trips to...

Update 2 - The noise did return, again only on the SOFT shock setting. After some procrastination, I finally took it in to one of my local dealers. Having the comfort of the YES warranty, I wasn't too concerned. I dropped the bike off with a salesman late-ish one evening before closing, with...

Weird, Sradek's reply wasn't there when I posted...anyway good news! Hope the bike is still available. Would be cool to have another FJR owner in the "neighborhood". ;)

And what's the verdict? Is Sradek sold on the FJR now? If not, what's his problem? :lol:

Shrinath, You didn't have any problem when sitting on my bike, right? You and I both have 32" inseams and I know I can flat foot it ok. With the adjustable seat on the '06, you should be Golden. ;) Randy, mighty nice of you, as always. We should hook up for a ride one of these days -...

Shit! Bad Timing! My FJR is in the shop getting that noisy shock fixed - only needed lube so I'm told. My daughter also has all day softball tournament. :angry:

Rad - thanks for the pic. Scooter - yeah, if you can please post or send me a couple of pics. I would like to see the condition and also the finish. Seems there are a bunch of new ones on the D & D website now... https://www.exoticsportbike.com/d_and_d_muffler_styles.htm

Scooter, I'm kinda looking too. Although after buying 2 cars in the last 2 months, there ain't squat in the bank account! Aw well, its only money... Are the D & D's Carbon or Aluminum? Any pics?? Thanks in advance.

Mogan, Great thread! Sounds like an awesome trip - good luck and keep the rubber side down. ;) "Hi, my name is Mogan, and I am a Farkler-holic..." :D

And since the tiller only has one end, you save money as you only need one Grip Puppy! :P

Great news about Andy!! Nothing better than when the rehab work produces tangible results!!
