Thanks; that makes sense.

:unsure: I was able to ride the FJR for a while today, but the second time I tried to start the bike, it wouldn't start until I put it in neutral. This was true the next three times I tried to start the bike, even though I held the clutch lever in. After I returned to my house it started in...

Gearman, I'm looking for some heavy bar ends to cut down on the buzz and I'm going to install the V-strom hand guards. I'm interested if you decide to make some. Bill

G, That's a bit out of my way, but I might show up some bike night. If you're looking for someone to ride with, there are several of us that ride every Sunday. We meet at the McDonalds (Harding Place at I-24 in Nashville) on Sunday mornings at 8:00 and ride at 9:00. There are four of us that...

I've had a chance to ride a few hundred miles with this helmet and it's very comfortable, light weight and aerodynamic. However, it's very very very noisy. It isn't too bad unless you open the top vents (which give great ventalation) but you need to open the vents when it's warm. Given the...

I like it. As another idea - I have a friend who made one from a black antifreeze container that looks good.

There will be several of us riding down from Nashville. Four of us will be on FJRs -- 2-2005s, 1-2004 and 1-2007.

The best price I could find was from powersports360 on ebay and it was still $359 +$14.95 shipping. The local stealer wanted $445 +9.25% tax. I won't receive it until Monday, so I haven't ridden with it and can't tell you if it's quiet or noisy but it is a good fit to my head, very light and...

I just bought a Joe Rocket carbon fiber helmet. Has anyone else tried one of these?

I'm 61 and have been riding for 48 years. That's funny, it doesn't seem like that long. Oh well, I probably just forgot.

I bought a 2005 DL1000 and have ridden it for over four years now. I still love it and ride it more than I do my FJR. I have made several changes to mine in cluding: fork springs, chain and new sprockets (larger in rear), Michellin Pilot Road 2s, fuel injuction tuning, removed the secondary...

Our bank accounts are about the same, but our 401Ks and IRAs are in the tank. I could have retired two years ago, but not now. My job is pretty secure, but my wife works for Ford Credit and you know what kind of shape Ford is in. That being said, after I get on a bike and start riding it all...

Sam's club has sunglasses with non-polarized lenses for $60 (single) or $80 (bifocal), or you can get the polarized sunglases for $95 (single) or $115 (bifocal).

I still have a '81 Special. It's the third bike from the front in this picture.

I've got to say it's the East Tennessee, North Georgia and West North Carolina area; the riding can't be beat and it's beautiful.

My wife took the MSF and got her license; she rode a few times and the last time out, she had a crash. I also have a Ninja 250 for sale next spring.

Joe, East Tennessee State University is in Johnson City, UT is in Knoxville, Maryville has a college or two and there is at least one girls only college in Bristol, VA. Sorry, I don't know where you would stay in any of the cities though. If you want good mountain riding, stay at TWO in Suches...

:rolleyes: A friend of mine made up some of the relay devices and a bought one from him. I installed it in no time and look forward to years of trouble free ingnition switch riding.

I bought one and received it on Monday. It's a big improvement over the stock shield. It's very quiet at the highest level, but I get some pressure on my back. Much less buffeting at all levels than the stock shield and I would recomend it to others on an '05 FJR. I bought mine from...
