    I love the new ’06 cobalt blue

    I got to see a ’06 for the first time yesterday heading home from work yesterday at 1430 and just wanted to post what a beautiful color it has. It seems to be a darker blue than my ’05 and looked really nice in the San Diego sun. Gratz to all you new owners, pretty good looking bike.

    Dunlop D208 ZR on the FJR

    Well I finally bit the bullet and put some new tires on the bike. I ended up going with D208 ZR based on my mechanic's recommendation. Dunlop recommends the D220 and the D208 is the alternative, but I think it's more of the "performance" tire vice "touring" of the two. I was able to get just...

    Help with Throttlemeister Installation

    I'm having a hell of a time getting the damn inner grommet out of my bars. I've centered and lined up that puller tube multiple times but the bolt always gets pretty damn tight and I don't want to snap it off. Should that grommet pull easy or do you have to break it free? I have no idea and can...

    Well, I rode out to Yuma, Arizona with a friend from work to have breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. He rides a 03 BMW 1200 RS and it was his idea. He’s trying to break me on some light touring and I jumped at the chance. I put in 373 miles today and while that isn’t much for a lot you riders...

    Covering Your FJR At Work, School, Etc...

    I've been riding the FJR to work, college at night and to the gym more and more often but I haven't been covering it because of the PITA factor. I was just curious if there was anyone else taking the lazy route?
