Long story short, I had the smuggler on the back of my FJR during an accident that totalled the bike. Got divorced a few years ago, and found the latching mechanism gone. Now that lifes finally stabilized, I got a replacement tongue from corbin(after 2 years of trying, and giving up). They gave...

Chicago Cubs Can't Believe They're Doing This Again. CHICAGO—Cubs players, coaches, and management expressed disbelief Thursday, questioning whether they were out of their minds for participating in another Major League Baseball season. "Why the hell are we still putting ourselves through...

Alright, I've had the Electrosport stator for awhile now. It was initially on my 1st 05 in 07, until she got totalled. I took it off and put it on my "new" 05 in november of 07, didn't really ride again until july of 08 due to a broken ankle and some confidence issues afterward(bike only...

Yeah, I paid waaaaay too much, coulda done much better with the money AND feel a little guilty about spending the money on me instead of adding it to my sons college fund. At the same time I remind myself of the promise I made to myself 18 yrs ago, when I was stuck on a submarine watching the...

I took the Adventure out to Galena yesterday for it's break-in run and was moseying west on 64 when I saw 2 FJR's. A blue ,maybe 2005 and red one. Both were headed east around 1 or 2ish. Both were solo, not together. I saw them a few minutes apart from one another. I was just curious if it was...

Not much to say, other than here it is! This definitely makes me feel better, lost my voice to a horrible stomach problem. That's a story for another day. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

As usual I'm posting this early. The 51st annual Chicago Air & Water show will be the weekend of aug 15,16, and 17. I will be having the usual cookout on the 16th since I am working the 17th. So keep the date open. This is all tentative for now, I usually make this a definitive event but this...

I was thinking of January 3rd for some post holiday eating/show and telling. Maybe CBIP again, or somewhere else if you guys/girls want something different. If I can get a few ayes I'll float some ideas if you folks want a different venue. There are tons in the Oakbrook area I know of. Just let...

While having a rather interesting debate on one of my female friends the other day, the wife decides to tell me about an impending change in our vacation plans. It seems the plans we were making for her 35th birthday will be put aside for awhile. When she says "Don't bother making any plans for...

And you can use for your avatar if you want, Rippy goes back up in a week :P

Is there anyone here able to help me installing my FF50's? I opened the bike up today to finally do it and my mind is absolutely a blank. I don't know where to start or finish, this is starting to be more of a problem than I want, too many concussions in the last year, they must be adding...

Found this when I left my house last night. It must've happened just as I pulled out of my garage, 2 blocks away. I got there about a minute before my guys showed up. I doubt a helmet would've helped, devastating is the best way to describe the injuries. This stuff almost never bothers me, I...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Went up to Wisconsin yesterday morning to go look at a '97 F650 for her as a first bike. She sat on it,played w/ it and then bought it! I had the pleasure of riding it home for her seeing as we were at my brothers...

She can't take the smile off her face :yahoo: . Says it was waaayyy more fun than when her and I took the course a few years ago. We'll get her license updated tomorrow and then the shopping begins :rolleyes: . Thanks to you guys, she's not as afraid(terrified) of the clutch as she was 3...

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...... If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this: There would be: 57 Asians - 21 Euopeans - 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and...

My wife is looking to buy the T-max, which ,it seems, we need to order due to it being a new to us(NA) model. It's pretty cool for a scooter and a nice step for her. She's going to take the MSF course in august to get herself a "M" on her license and be legal on this machine. What I'm really...

The wife and I are going to AviatioNation in November at Nellis AFB. I was just hoping to get a nice hotel as close to the base as possible w/o the usual side effects of heavy crime area. If thats not possible, any other suggestions are welcome. Basically hoping for the best place to stay away...

This has been happening ever since I put the PP on front and PR on rear. At first I thought I was imagining it because it would disappear at low speeds. But yesterday on the way to and from my dads house there was no denying it was happening. At about 65-70 it becomes noticeable, at 75-85 mph...

Okay, this question is probably soooooooooo simple I should be shot. I want to put my ff50's on a circuit all their own so that I can put 'em on when I want and also leave some stuff open for future use. I was thinking about the Barrier Strip as shown in FJR TECH and using that as my source for...
