    Time Flies, Zero Issues with FJR

    Fourteen years ago today my FJR arrived at the dealer after a six month wait - well worth the wait. There were two of them waiting to be uncrated. I told them to build the other one first, I would wait (learning curve). I think these were the first in Colorado - IIRC mine was #xxxxx176. What a...

    USA4Corners Ride

    Wilber Failures?

    Anyone have a problem with their Wilber shocks. I have the one with a remote setting. Today I thought I would take her for a spin, since it's in the high 40's. I started her up and wheeled her around the garage to check and fill up the tires and I noticed a trail of liquid that had dripped...

    Change/Balance Your Own Tires?

    Check this out: Parnes Wheel Balancer On Sale Smokin' Deal, I think. The universal balancer works on the FJR, but you might want to confirm on Mark Parnes website.

    Sharing Room At Wfo

    If anyone is interested in sharing my room, they upgraded me to a suite. You won't have to listen to me snore They told me it was a 'courtesy upgrade', so I'm assuming it's the same price quoted for the standard room. It's reserved for Friday and Saturday night. The might be a ten dollar...
