    New Car for my kid

    Nice! Oh the memories, lol... My first "car" was a 1970 Chevy Suburban...a real boat, but it was 4x4 and had a ton of room. If I recall, I paid $300-500 for it, and my father and I rebuilt the top end of the V8 4 barrel 350 in the months leading up to my legal driving age. There weren't any...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Rode it in to work today...and expect to for the entire week. There's a fair chance it'll turn 20k this week...not bad for 15 months of (s)miles. :D Side note...today's my RDL build day....whee!

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Despite the crisp fall temps and great weather, I left mine in the garage today. Thanks to Hurricane Matthew, the river just down from my house is above the record high (from Hurricane Floyd years ago) and many of the city streets are underwater; I wasn't sure what I'd encounter on the way to...

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    I'll be sure to post up a comparison when I have my RDL, which has a production date for next Monday. I've taken the LAAM across the country, so I'll have a good point for comparison.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Rode it to work today...first time since returning from EOM (fairly crap weather all last week). I also washed my suit over the weekend to revive the DWR and remove over a year's worth of stink and bug juice...it was nice. ;)

    wiring accessories, tips tricks Battery tender, heated coax

    I have a Battery Tender cable tucked into the right fairing for the tender and an air pump, but for the bulk of the power work, I use a Fuzeblocks. This sits on top of the ES electronics with velcro and powers my GPS, tank bag (always on circuit), and heated Warm 'n Safe coax. The coax feed is...

    I only heard bits of this story at EOM...I'm assuming the fella in the gray shirt and khaki pants is the "offended one"? Heh. Glad everyone emerged without administrative issues. ;)
