    Montreal - To the sea and come back in 2 days !

    If you are not taking the super slab you might find 108 to 100 or just 100 in Vermont to US 4 all the way to the sea and if you plan to jump in the sea, Ogunquit has a parking lot at the beach where the rivers flows into the sea and there are showers, a little pricy to park, but showers are...

    Hill Climb Ludlow VT

    The local BMW club put out this item about a hill climb at the Okemo Ski Area in Ludlow VT this weekend. It sounds like a road race up the mountain with about 30 turns. Saturday is qualifying and Sunday is the race. I was told there are many vantage points to watch the race. This is the first...

    Trip To The Northeast

    Personally I have nothing against Maine and Rock hampshire(lying), however Vermont has the twistiest roads, less people and the best beer and gas is cheaper, women are prettier, people are taller and they never lie and are always right, except for those who are way left, and the west coast of...

    Route 100's a beeatch Yo Lucky's hasn't been bad they put in a new clutch last year free of charge and they have been resonable and timely on service. I do believe there is someone there who is not as professional as we would all like. Anyway I just put it out there if anyone had a similar...

    Recall 07 FJR

    For the past two weeks my FJR 07 has been at Lucky's Motorsports in South Royalton, VT. They are usually good. The called me several times saying there are no recalls on this bike even though I have 2 letters to the contrary. I called Yamaha customer relations, 800-962-7926, and they assured...

    Why is the value of the FJR....

    Having, owned BMW's, Gibson and Fender guitars, they are all great investments at the dealer, but try and recoup that. One salesman told me they were better than land. He didn't sell me anything. FJR is no different for resale. I hear AIG is a good place to put your doremi. And for the kiss...

    Transporting FJR

    Five years ago, i sent a BMW GS 1000 freight from Vermont to Seattle, costs about $500 and shipped it from BMW dealer to dealer, they did the packing. As it was winter when i headed out for business, it was a good option. Don't know if that competes with driving with the gas and hotels.

    Fair Asking Price

    Tried to sell mine in similar condition for the past nine months. Started above 10k reduced to 9k and no bites, Ads on here and Craigslist and a paper called Its Classified. No serious offers. I am in northern Vermont so that could be a factor. Fortunately I don't care and have raised the price...

    clutch and pressure plate

    Had the clutch problem that became totally unsafe at low speed in traffic. Dealers were no help, UNTIL i cried "Safety" to Yamaha and found that they indeed did assemble bikes with some type of grease left on the plates. They totally replaced the clutch under warranty. I have not had a chance to...

    Clutch not disengaging

    Hey Kids, After a lot of bogus dealers and mechanics and letters where I started to say "safety" which is certainly a fact, Yamaha answered by totally replacing the clutch and saying there was some type of packing grease left on the clutch, but all very vague. Bottom line is that it was all...
