I bought a 2016 FJR from D&H, and might be in the market for another. I did a few searches, and I am not finding newer posts about this great shop. Does anyone know if it is still in business, still offers the great prices...and how to get in touch?

Well, I bloody well 'ope you've 'eard of it.  Australia? Well, I want to go, and land in Perth, and ride to Sydney and then go home.  And take a month or two to do the ride. That is a long time to rent a bike.  I'm exploring the possibility of finding a bike shop or individual, buying an...

And, with a title like that, I'm sure to get a lot of responses. I have a yen to go for a long ride in Europe.  I have relatives (1st cousin) near Dresden, and could spend some time with them.  And ride all over the place.  Switzerland, Austria, Italy... I did a few vague searches, and there...

I know it is a hard question. It listed for $16,200 when new. I went to Cullman, AL and paid $15,000. It has 52,000 miles, lots of highways, and lots of new clean oil. I found the NADA and Kelly sites, and put in the info. They say somewhere over $10k. I spoke to a local bike shop...

I'm writing about my frustrations trying to get my bike worked on. I've 'finished' my bucket list item. My brand new 2016 FJR1300ES has been in 49 states, north of the arctic circle, to the points of the 48 states: Eastmost, Southmost, SWmost, Northwestmost and Northmost. 52,000 spread over...

It is Sunday, and I have stripped out a screw. I went looking, and found a zillion places to do a search for a part and order it, and used the "Online OEM Parts and Farkle Sources" link to good effect. But, I can't find the part. I hate to have to wait until Tuesday (all the local shops are...

I was coming off the mountains and the wonderful twisty roads, into Silverton, CO. There was a dark SUV ahead. Speed limit had reduced to about 25, and I was doing that. The SUV started slowing, just as we were coming close to a gas station, on the left. I have told this story before, and I...

I mentioned in a couple of other posts about my planning a trip from the DFW area to go and take a picture of me and my FJR next to the Arctic Circle sign. Briefly: I now have that picture! The total trip was 8259 miles, included a ferry from Bellingham, WA to Whittier, AK. 18 days of...

I found and read a couple of websites showing service intervals and what is needed for various miles. I just passed 34,000 on my 2016 FJR. In mid-July I'll be leaving from the Dallas area towards the Arctic Circle. I've scheduled about 8000 miles (not including a 4 day ferry ride from Seattle...

I searched for this and found an almost identical question. But, that was from 2008 and I'd like an update. I'll be riding my FJR to Alaska and back (from Dallas) in July. No, stop, don't call the guys in the white uniforms with the nets! I really want to do this. What I WANT to do is stay...

This post will soon be moving to 'Never-Ending, Pointless, etc'. But I did searches before I decided to post. I read many times that 'oil is oil', basically, as long as you get good stuff and change it regularly. I do that. But... I'm getting ready to go riding. I'll be on the road for...

I'm planning to plan my next long ride. I've hit the Easternmost (Maine), Southernmost (Fla), SWesternmost (Calif) points of the US. I'm aiming at the Northernmost point of the 48 states: Angle Inlet, MN. First, has anyone made a trip to this vacation wonderland destination? If so, I have a...

I received one of those Garmin wristbands to count my steps last Xmas, and it seems to be a little weird about being on a bike. When I'm walking or running, all is well, seems to count the steps ok. Last month, I drove my car from Dallas to Amarillo, stopped at a couple of rest stops, and...

Does anyone know of a bag that will fit the Givi 46 liter monokey case? I have a good Lands' End bag that I have used, but it really is too wide, and too narrow. Has to scrunch up on the sides and wasted space on front and back. Dimensions of the case are about 21 X 17 X 10. I'd like to find...

I just bought a K&N filter for my '16 FJR and installed it today. I was surprised at the stock oil filter, but ... should I have a surprise? The stock filter looks very similar to the K&N. Foam seal on the ends instead of a rubber seal. A metal mesh protector over the paper filter. The...

I have been high as a kite about my 2016 FJR, and I've posted a couple of other times about this. But, now. I find I am disgusterated. Aggrevified. Upseterated. I dug underneath the seat and pulled out my tool kit. I opened that 'tool kit' and found a 6mm hex wrench and a screwdriver...

My 2016 FJR is well broken in with 8500 miles. I was just riding and grooving and noticing that I was getting pretty good gas mileage, according to the instrument gauge's mileage readout. I did a quick compare to how much I had left, and how far it was to the nearest Buc-ee's. (For those...

Just a bittersweet post. After almost 12 years (bought: Oct 2004, sold Aug 2016) and 102,000 miles, the old 2005 FJR is out of the garage. It's at a place in Dallas called 'CrashedToys', even though it has never crashed. But, I needed it out of the garage, they gave me cash, and the local...

I went off to get my brand new 2016 FJR and left the 2005 sitting in the garage. Last time I started it was Apr 20. Not that long ago, barely 2 months. I decided today it needed to go for a spin. And that is all it does. Spin. Good strong battery. Cranks fast. Spins and spins. No...

Next week (!!!) I will be flying to Cullman to meet Jerold and Renaa and all the folks at D&H Cycle. And pick up a 2016 FJR1300ES. With that statement out of the way, what I am asking for is anyone who lives in Texas, and has bought their FJR from D&H in Alabama. What did you do with all the...
