    RIP, Tom Petty

    Of course his entire collection of music is awesome, but from the first time I heard "Refugee" wafting down the halls at Lyman Ward Military Academy in 1979 I was hooked. Damn the Torpedoes is, and always has been one of my all-time favorite albums. From "Refugee" to "Louisiana Rain" the entire...

    My dad was killed in a motorcycle accident 07/29

    Able, I'm so sorry for your loss brother! I saw your post on FB over the weekend but didn't realize that it was your father. Although I didn't know him, from my brief time having lunch with you as I passed through Kansas last summer I know he had to be a great man, because the apple doesn't...

    Dumped my bike this morning...

    Sure sorry to hear about this Joe. Just glad you weren't seriously hurt and no road rash. Good luck with sorting out the bike.

    Self driving car hits motorcycle cop

    Trust me, you are correct, the attorneys love this one! It's not the hardware that will be held liable, but the manufacturer of the hardware (and software) that will be held liable. The attorneys salivate over this because this gives them the deep pockets they're always after. (See Firestone...

    Progressive/StateFarm

    Thanks AJ - I almost deleted / abandoned my post as I was writing it because it was becoming so long. But it was necessary in order to delve into the topic properly. The point I really wanted to stress is that in the case when you are not at fault for the accident, it generally makes sense to...

    Progressive/StateFarm

    Being in the industry I can speak directly to this frequently confusing question. Often there are multiple coverages that apply and sometimes it's best to use the other person's insurance and sometimes best to use your own, or possibly a combination of both, just as the original poster...

    ............for all you Rush fans.............

    Those that know me know that I made the comment above completely tongue in cheek. Actually, I have been a devout Rush fan for 40 years now. I first saw them on the Hemispheres tour in 1978. Through the years I have been to a couple of dozen shows from Toronto to Orlando, Atlanta to Honolulu...

    Isn't that the band with the singer who has that squeaky voice?

    They Need to Hear it From Ya Today

    Well said pants and I'm in total agreement with all comments here today. I would run out of likes just clicking on the replies to this thread. I will only further add that it's past time this insanity comes to an end.

    Really bad day today

    It's just so hard Fred. I still have tears in my eyes today. I keep flashing back to the time that my dad lost Rover in 2007. He was one of the coolest little guys ever. At 35 lbs of pure energy there was no way one could contain him in a fence, he just loved to roam around and check on...

    Really bad day today

    Tears rolling down my face as I read this, Fred. I love my three dogs about as much as anything in this world, except for my wife. I dread the inevitable day, but it will come. Really feeling for you and Joann.

    Fuel fill up question ...

    From the large amount of activity this thread has seen in just it's first 24 hours of existence, I would say that it does not fit the NEPRT criteria. It is possible this thread could ultimately be never ending and some have even noted that it is a recurring topic (although I've never seen it...

    Fuel fill up question ...

    WOW - just WOW! I'm amazed at two responses to this question. I'll let you figure out which ones those are, should you even care. To answer your question, I utilize the same method as Morecowbell. I can't see how being on the sidestand could allow more fuel, but I wouldn't be surprised if it...

    Best Place To Retire Early

    From my trip out West last summer, your backyard really got me thinking Pterodactyl. I loved Montana! ... and for an overseas destination, this place gets my vote! Cuenca, Ecuador

    Tell me I did the right thing?

    My guess is the bike is still available. Simple enough to ride "his" bike and hour to the main branch. Ride away on "your" bike with the title. If the seller isn't open to something that simple, then find another FJR.

    B spec tire?

    There are aspects of this thread that underscore my appreciation of the FJR Forum, and also aspects of this same thread that cause me to despise this forum at times. As always, thanks to the positive contributors!

    Salvage or Scrap Title

    I read the Michigan Application for Original Title Salvage / Scrap. On the back of the application, at the bottom of the page , it reads, Line 1 - Enter the full purchase price or retail dollar value. The full purchase price includes the full amount paid to the previous owner together with any...
