    Harley Davidson Mistake

    I have two friends that bought 2023 Indian Pursuits. Beautiful bikes, great touring setup. The first one made it 30 miles before his electrical system went crazy. He drove it back to the dealership and rode home on the back of my Goldwing. Bad stator and it damaged other stuff. Dealer...

    Motorcycle For Sale 2005 FJR1300 ABS 35k miles with Hannigan Sidecar For sale

    This reminds me of the response my married friend gave to a hooker at a Las Vegas casino: "Oh I want to.....but I probably shouldn't"

    2022 knocked over

    Harley side stands are the best. I've seen a guy park on a sandy beach and just walk away. It's hard to believe somebody knocked it over from the right side. It would take a heck of a hit to knock it over the kickstand. Knock it forward, sure that's easy.

    100 lbs above GVWR

    First, the Goldwing doesn't have much more carrying capacity than the FJR. As a large man myself, I've been looking at Goldwings for many years for added comfort in 2 up riding. I've always been surprised how close to the carrying capacity the Goldwing was to the FJR. Not a significant...

    Russell Day Long seat for 2nd gen

    Congrats on your new seat. I waited 11 years before finally buying a used Russell and kick myself for not doing it earlier. Great buy. Don.

    Riding to Kentucky

    That's one of the things I love about Kentucky. The people. Very friendly, although they do seem to move at a slow pace.

    Bike keyed at work!

    I vote accidental. Someone doing that on purpose just takes a key and slides it from back to front as they walk by in one long line quickly so they don't get caught. When I was younger and lived in a cheap apartment complex the cars would get keyed every weekend like that. People just being mean.

    Riding to Kentucky

    From Livingston to McKee is a lot of fun and very, very, little traffic. From McKee continue up on 89 or take the road that runs parallel off to the East (587/1209) that goes through Arvel. I love that area. Roads seem to be in good shape and very pretty area with a lot of curves.

    Add on's are fine as long as you're comparing out the door to out the door and they are up front about them. That is a killer OTD price. Congrats!!!

    The Hog Phenomenon

    Ha! Yeah I got that one a lot from a friend of mine on his CVO Harley. Always trying to get me on a Harley...a real bike. He had so many problems with it he finally sold it and bought the Indian Roadmaster. Now when I see him I always ask him "when are you going to get a real bike?". He...

    The Hog Phenomenon

    Listen, I love my FJR. On my 3rd one. But Harley sales, while up and down, still crush the competition. People love them. I'm not sold on the new Livewire platform, and I don't want a Harley myself, but the people I meet on a Harley seem to be very happy with their choice. (I do like that...

    The Hog Phenomenon

    Blah, Blah, Blah. Somebody chooses a motorcycle that is not like mine so they are doing it wrong. Blah.

    Oil

    I've used Amsoil motorcycle oil for years and years, but yes, it is pricey. Last year I switched to Mobil 1 motorcycle oil 10w40. Both synthetic, but Mobil 1 goes on sale and is easier to find at auto part stores. I'm sure the cheaper oils are fine too but I sleep and vacation better and...

    LOW mile '14 ES - Not mine, but cheap. $7k

    Something definitely fishy about those miles, ES, year, at that price.

    2014 FJR1300A For Sale Huntsville AL

    This should sell faster than a used Russell seat at a Big Ass Motorcycle Convention.

    My new FJR

    The factory cruise control is reason enough to move into the Gen III territory.

    Regular fuel vs Premium fuel?

    Original poster: Everybody says (and the manual) that regular is fine. I many times put premium in because it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I also use motorcycle specific Mobil 1 and the OEM oil filter for the same reason. If I'm throwing away a little money while doing something that I...
