Since I am seldom the lead rider, I depend on my husband to provide the forward visibilty on country and mountain roads (which is we tend to ride.) He rides a Harley chromemobile that is almost blinding when the sun hits it on the front. Running all 5 front lights at all times, he is highly...

You hit the nail on the head about the adrenaline rush. When younger, I particiapted in all sorts of sports and activies that were exhilarating...snow skiing, water skiing, dirt and quad riding, team sports, tennis, you name it, I plaed it. Gradually, as I got older, Istopped playing or...

I assume you have read the Owner's Manual by now and realize this is a safety feature designed into many bikes. However, you might want to be on the outlook for stalling problems. I have an '08 that I bought from my sisiter-in -law. She had had stalling problem when coming to a stop...

Okay, so the Heli clamp may be the answer to by upper back problems, but I'd like informed input. I am female, 6'1", 155 lbs (that's pretty thin guys) with an athletic build. I work out and I am in good shape, but at 58 years old, I find riding with my head and helmet cantilevered over the...

Thanks for the photos. In some of the photos it looks like you have a stock seat, in others it looks like a custom seat. Which do you have, or do you have two different seats?

Runners carb load, as a skier, I have always "aspirin loaded". Now that I am riding, sounds like i need to start Vitamin I loading. BTW, I see you are a Norton man. MG and I sometimes ride with some '72 Norton owners from Visalia. Those bikes draw lots of attention whenever and wherever we stop.

Make that 2 grandmothers.

That would be great. Is there anything tricky I have to do to access the photos?

Not a turn off at all--just a question. Yeah, you are right, I am a female. The only other female I have ever seen on an FJR is my sister-in-law from whom I bought the bike. We are both tall with very long legs so we are never limited on bike options because of that. The thing is, women lack...

You may not be handsome, but you may be the man for me. I think I need a backrest for my '08. Sounds like you make 'em. Any pix or prices?

Regarding your quote, it was definitely a politician. My bet is either Everett Dirksen or, get this...Voltaire.

Thanks. I've only had this FJR for about 6 months and 3,700 miles. I don't find it exactly fun to ride. Fast, but not fun. In fact, I have it for sale, but don't know what I'd get as a replacement. After reading the Master Yoda info, I am open to the idea that the problem is me, not the...

Ya could be talking about me. I was there then. Didn't intend to be in a group, we just got joined up. It was a slow trip south on 89 on the west side of Lake Tahoe as there was a marathon going on. We actually missed our turn and had to turn around as we had come up from Kirkwood on...

I'm new to this. Do I reply by just typing at the bottom? Sorry to be such a dummy, but I am old, tired, and technologically challenged. Is any one tail bag preferred to others.

My back gets tired on long rides. I would like something that I could lean against when the opportunity exists. I see a company named Bakup offers an FJR backrest for stock seats. I am apprehensive about whether or not it would actually adjust far enough forward to do any good. I am 6'1" and...
