I still have my '05 FJR. I don't ride much anymore, so it is more 'storing' than riding. My daughter takes it to work once in a while and I make it available to close friends and relatives when they want to go for a ride. Here's a picture of it from EOM 2006. Mine's the blue one. ;)

I am looking into installing a VPN on my wifi router at home. I don't think my old ASUS 1900 router supports a VPN, so I'll probably need to replace the router. So, for those of you who understand this stuff I am looking for recommendations for a router and VPN for home use.

One of the things that I want to see is the big Saguaro cacti that apparently only exist in south Arizona and a small part of California. So, while we are going to be near Arizona for SWFOG I want to take an extra day or two and visit Saguara National Park. My question is for someone who has...

I am looking for a stock OEM windscreen for my 05 FJR. I know a lot of people use aftermarket ones of various sizes and shapes so I hope someone's got an OEM one laying around that's in good shape.

I currently have several devices feeding audio into an Ampli-Rider. The AmpliRider is a mixer with it's own volume control. The AMpli-Rider used 3.5mm stereo jacks. I have speakers in my helmet and have a wire from the Ampli-Rider to the helmet. It works fine most of the time but the wire gets...

Rather than try to remember everyone who asked, I am posting this on the forum. Many of you know my daughter Deena from the rallies she attended with me, most recently 2012 NERDS. This evening Deena gave birth to Serena. Serena is 8 lbs 2 oz and is 20 inches. Both mother and daughter are doing...

The Art of Insemination........ A blonde city girl named Judy marries an Arizona rancher. One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Judy: "The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today, so I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where...

I ended up with an older woman at a club last night, she looked pretty good for a 60-year-old. In fact she wasn't too bad at all, and I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter. We drank a bit (well more than a bit), we had a snuggle, and she asked me if I ever had a...

Ontario Dead Crow Report Three (3) months ago, about 200 dead crows were found by Ontario service groups. Volunteers had been performing highway clean-ups along the highway shoulders and ditches near Huntsville, and justly, health issues surfaced over the dead crows. The Province had a Bird...

I went to a large dealer in Newburgh, NY yesterday with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. I was looking at dual sports and my son-in-law was looking for a metric cruiser. The three bikes I wanted to sit on are the Yamaha WR250R, KTM 500 EXC, and the KTM 690 Enduro R. I like the idea of the...

For those of you who know Grumpy but do not visit the other forum, he has crashed and is in the hospital. That's about all I know. Look here in the fjriders forum for more information. Update: Here's the link to Caring Bridge from Jwilly's post below so it is easy to find. You'll have to...

A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home. She read. 'And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: 'Pardon me sir, but...

I have been following discussions about Michelin's new PR3 tires, which will presumably replace the PR2s that I like for long distance riding. According to their catalog, the PR3 is: v-rated for speeds up to 149 mph; (W) rated for speeds of 168+ mph I always thought that the z in zr17 meant...

Some history: I have a 1994 Chevy K3500 crew cab with a little over 200k miles on it. Last year I replaced the engine, a 350 gas engine with TBI, with a known good used one from a 1992 Chevy van. I used the original fuel injection and alternator and other accessory stuff. The fuel gauge was not...

I attended NAFO last year in Golden, Co., and WFO in Utah the year before. Both were a lot of fun and I met some great people, so I decided to attend WFO again this year, even though it was being held a lot further left than the previous rallies. I left home in NY on Friday morning, 7/25. My...

I plan to ride out to WFO in Idaho. I have never been through Yosemite. Are any of you left coasters going home that way and willing to show the place to me?

There have been a few posts where people mentions valve stem failure on the FJR. I'd like to know how many peopel have experienced this and what kind of stem it was that failed. I would say that your valve stem failed if it cracked, split, or came loose from the wheel. A loose or bad core would...

Anybody buy a pair of R&G sliders for a first gen FJR to replace a damaged one? I need one puck and bolt. If I can't find a single one, then does anybody know where I can buy a set from a US retailer? I bought my first set from Atlanta Cycles but they don't have them now. Edit - I decided to...

I did a bunch of service on my '05 over the winter. Suspension, tires, Uni Air filter, lube the pivot points, and finally adjust the valves. So I had a lot of stuff off the bike and back on without starting it in between. Now it won't start. I tried the WOT trick a few times. I took the air...
