    FJR is leaving

    Sold my fjr. It will be leaving for Houston tomorrow. It is going into good hands. A man that already has one and can appreciate another. I will miss it. The best of rides. It and my old Honda 750 four. Can't see keeping two bikes and my wife likes the harley lounge seat on my 09 ultra...

    big brother for FJR

    :rolleyes: Offered a good deal on a 09ultraglide classic. Only 1500 miles. The new frames are supposed to handle a lot better. They have a bigger tank and larger rear tire. Going to ride it today.

    Got a new FJC

    No its not a new model of the fjr. It a Toyota. Man this cruiser is tough as a Jeep or tougher. Came with a rear locker and A trac, all wheel traction control. I guess I will leave my built up TJ at home for this years Colorado mountain trail trip. :yahoo:

    motorcycle wheel chock

    Harbor freight has their motorcycle wheel chock on sale for 10 dollars off. Seems to be well made but haven't tried it out yet. They also had a weel balancer in the local store near me. Did not look it over just saw the box. I already have the Marc Parnes.

    Yamaha 1300 fjr survey

    I just received a survey from JD Power and Associates with an eight page survey about the 08 fjr1300. Did anyone else? They even ask about variety of color options. I told them all we need is black. They even give you a dollar to fill it out.

    Hate them love bugs.

    Well the love bugs are flying by the millions now down here. I took a ride the other day and in about 30 minutes you can't see out your face shield or windshield. You really need a full face helmet when they are flying. I think all the water from the storm stirred them up. I don't think they...

    I wonder

    I wonder if my fjr can outrun Gustof. Yea, we got another one coming. Looks like I won't ride for a few weeks if it hits. There will be trees all over the roads and powerlines down.

    What was that? You say stay right.

    I forgot who it was on the forum over the past that says stay right but I would like to thank them for drilling this in often times on different posts. Yesterday I was in the country on one of the few curvy roads in Lousyana when coming up on a blind curve when it rang in my mind, stay...

    bar risers

    :rolleyes: Installe bar risers, like them so far. I can't say what kind. They are about 1 and1\4 inch high and come back about one half inch. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Found my cap nut on the tripple tree was not torqued much at all but the stearing head nut was goodentight.

    The fjr is pretty quick

    ride to Big Bend Texas

    :rolleyes: Just returned from 1900 mile round trip to the big bend of the Rio Grande river, southwest Texas. My 08 fjr was a blast. Smooth, fast, and handled every crook with ease. I was with four goldwings, three 1800s and one 1500, a harley 88, and an st1300 honda. When an open stretch...
