Maybe I am the last one to have see this but I thought it was cool. I'm sure if a car manufacturer would build their car so it would accept Busa engines they would sell alot of cars to the local motorheads.

I'm already bringing the hot weather riding gear. Should I leave the cold temp gear home? What about those rainy mountain passes, do I need it? I like to stay a ATGATT FJR rider but dont want to be stuffed with 2X the equiptment for the whole trip. Whats the scoop from the Colorado FJR...

Thought I would mention this to the SoCal gang. I just signed up for another 3 years prepaid maintenance, unlimited mileage, "bumper to Bumper"style, for $1500. Everything is included, except tires. They go by the Yamaha maintenance schedule and do all the required stuff. I just had a major...

I counted at least 3 FJR's following the Pelliton of the Tour. All were riding 2 up with the Camera man on the back. What a great way to see France. Did anyone else see them?

I think the ultimate for me would be Shure noise canceling earbuds with a microphone wired into the helmet. Want to listen to the XM as well as answer the blue tooth phone from the Garmin Zumo. Anyone out there tried this before? I am in search of the "Cats Ass helmet rig". Check out the...

Have the Zumo 550 with the Autocom hookup in the helmet only. When I use the blue tooth phone feature for calls, the reception is good but my transmit sounds bad to the person on the phone end. I have verified that my phone is working normal already too. How has your transmit been when...

This free service allows you to look-up the GPS location of any active cell phone user (FJR rider, wife, spouse, children, etc.). Could be very useful for investigative purposes, see where your wife is when you are out riding. It even shows how fast its going...

Powerlet hooked me up with a Zumo cord like they used to make for the Garmin V. You know, the one with the Phone cord style. I had one for the Garmin V but upgraded to the Zumo550 recently. I noticed that they didnt make one for the Zumo, on their website. I called them and spoke with John...

The now famous Two Wheel Nut may have given me the best FJR tip of the Summer. As we were on the subject of making a tight turn at slow speeds on the FJR. (Isabella trip) He said try using a little tension on the back brake to settle the bikes motion without causing the front shock to compress...

I for one would love to be one of the escourt bikes for the Tour de France. Was wondering if anyone else saw them too. I counted 3 FJR's for sure, 2 up, Blue colored. Couldnt tell if they were '05's or '06's. If any of the FJR bros. out there have pics, please post some! :clapping:

Info only: Ortega Hwy has some major consrtuction going on and the road conditions are poor from the Ranger Station Southward. I had to stop for 15min as it went down to one lane. There is also lots of radiator eating loose gravel on the road. many uneven ruts and chewed up roadway. Im sure...

Just got done with a 220 mile ride and noticed that I could not hold my hand on the stator cover for more then a second without burning myself. The bike is running at 2bars and seems normal. Has anyone tried this? How hot is yours? :unsure:

Here is a good clip of Law Enforcement in Spain. https://www.break.com/index/spanish_criminal_taken_down.html Wonder what type of Motorcycle that was?
