Wow, so much to think about. Very pleased with the '15 color but it's going to be tough to give up my '11 R1200RT. Does anyone know how the new model rollouts work for Yamaha, i.e., will they trickle in to certain dealers, will many dealers have them on the showroom floor, will I have to...

• Nearly one out of four motorcycle operators (24%) involved in fatal crashes were operating their vehicles with invalid licenses at the time the collision. "U.S. Department of Transportation Action Plan to Reduce Motorcycle Fatalities October 2007" This summarizes my point.

It all seems so easy for you I spent the last three days fretting over the weather forecast and how exactly to gear up for the ride. I've only ridden in the rain twice and for only a short distance. Now, here I am, getting ready to leave for the event I've waited 1 year for, and it's going to...

In case the Anti-rain dance doesn't work. As someone with little to no experience riding in the rain; I have a Fieldsheer Air Tour Mesh Jacket and Pants which has to have a "waterproof liner", full face helmet and leather Sidi boots, basic leather gloves, and am wondering "how wet will I get"...

I just moved my plans back one day based on the weather forecast. I am taking a week off and hope I'll get some better weather on the backside of the trip. Since I am now leaving Thursday, it appears that I'm more likely to find some fellow travelers. I'm leaving Southern Maryland Thurday AM...

I can loan you mine while you'll waiting to get yours back. Recently did this for a fellow FJR in N.C. You pay shipping and handling to and fro. I think it cost about $30 to pack and ship and around $20 to ship back. Let me know. Jeff Lauer

"I assume that the routes were up at some point and then removed for correcting some technical problem??" This is correct.

Thanks, you're right on time. I've been fretting over a 3" scratch in the plastic on the right side, directly over the battery. Tried to save $$ over the $440 quote for 4000 mile service by hiring a recent motorcycle school grad. He made the scratch but I didn't mention it because he "did me a...

I purchased my FJR, '08 from Cyclesport in Alexandria and it was a very good experience. They were extremely helpful and friendly. Since I live in So. MD, I do not have the bike serviced there so I can't comment further, except that since they are in close you might want to check them out.

What a dummy I am. I guess the step just prior to determining the torque is determining how to use a torque wrench.I am sure I significantly over-torqued the bolts. Nothing broke and I have them re-torqued correctly, I think! Can someone explain "pulling" the threads, and is it possible I did...

Hey, you're coming to my backyard (Huntingtown, MD, right next to Prince Frederick), which makes me very interested in the ride. Someone help a new guy with Self-guided. I understand the basic concept, but is there a specific meeting time and will there be groups of riders? Since I don't know...

Looking forward to the event. Acquired FJR Sept '08, to late for EOM 08. Reservations are made, Th, F, Sa (good hotel rate, nice job JW and crew). My wife and I are new to this ridin' business so I'm not sure she's up for such a long ride, from Southern MD (sorry NE folks, I know this sounds...

The Sargent does not seem to raise me up any higher but it does set me back a little, further from the bars. The stock seat seemed to push me forward slightly. The advantage to setting back slightly is there is less forward pressure on wrists and arms, even a slight pull-back on the bars...

I have the genmar risers. Rode stock for a couple months before installation, but due to back/neck issues and arm numbing, installed the risers. Some improvement, but no Goldwing. I installed a new Sargent seat today and as a by products, noticed a more comfortable arm position. I would also...

Jon T I would like to try to join you/group. Like you I missed last year, due to just acquiring my FJR on Sept 15, 08. I am very much looking forward to attending this year, so much so, I want to spend a little more time. I was considering leaving Wednesday, and making it a two day ride...
