    Tire Life?

    On the original Metzler's that came with my 05 I was able to get 26,563......... km, that is. Thats 16,505 miles. SkooterG would be so proud of me! I know you're thinking I must be a real pansy rider, but I would call myself an average-to-moderately aggressive rider - definitely not a 'ride it...

    You think you're addicted?

    OK, I take back what I was thinking about you (dbvolfan hitting a dog with his car and you thinking he was a woman). :dribble: You really ARE Scab's wife! :yahoo:

    Poor Dog, Poor Car

    Mrs Scab, you just aren't as sharp as your hubby! :glare: So why, oh why, do you think dbvolfan is a woman? :rolleyes:

    Knucklehead drivers

    +2 on pickin' your fights I would rather have some brain-dead fuck-wad kept in front of me where I can keep my good eye on them - not behind me where they can be so unpredictable. :assassin: Ride safe and defensively. They are out to get you.

    What sounds tougher.. Harley or Honda?

    I almost fell off my chair laughing when I clicked on the Honda! :clapping: Then my dog came running in the room and was spellbound by the sound of the Honda, too. :yahoo: I played about 6 times for her. So, I would say if it made me LMAO, it ain't so tough.

    2003 Pathfinder

    Contact your friendly? local Nissan dealer service dept, they will tell you. Most cars do not require a change of auto trans oil for 100,00 miles or so unless you regulary tow a trailer. I would never wait that long myself. Len

    Who Were You?

    On QueasyBoard I was 'grubshorts' for the silly young guy I met in Palm Springs in the early 1980s. He was very funny and used the name Mortimer Grubshorts for nerds and geeks. I just thought it was funny, too. On FJROwners (https://www.fjrowners.ws/fjro4/usa.html) I am also 'fjrinbc'. Also...

    Why Get Sliders When You Can Get These?

    For translation, I think it's like in those foreign movies where the actor's mouths are going a mile-a-minute and at the bottom of the screen it says, "You must die now!" All the gibber-gabber is telling you to buy their set-up and you won't kill yourself. Or just go off and buy a 3-cylinder...

    My Cat's Been Acting Strange

    I just got a new sheepskin seat cover. It doesn't seem to fit the way I like. :) Any suggestions? I don't feel so much heat from the fuel tank anymore, though. And if my hands get cold there are places to warm them up. ;)

    First Oil Thread - Seriously

    Thanks skyway I had read that article before and it provides some good information. Once I'm done with radman, can I search your ass, too! :o Len

    First Oil Thread - Seriously

    really, radman... You can't be serious about the 'ring-sticking problem' of modern 10w-40 oils. The auto makers don't recommed it because of the mentioned fuel-economy issues. And that Norton article: who knows when that was first written? An old air-cooled British twin hardly compares to a...

    Ghostly Images...

    What you need is Windoze Media Player, which everyone who has MS Windoze should have. It should work fine for you. Open it and/or save it. Pass it on to your friends(?) and see if they see what you see. Len

    Ghostly Images...

    Edited on 30Jun05 to say the link is now DEAD. Don't bother trying. This is 'borrowed' from FJReady over at SleazyBoard... Strange but interesting. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the...

    First Oil Thread - Seriously

    radman, I don't quite understand your reasoning on the multigrade dino oil. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the makers have improved the mixes of these oils since the "70s". I don't think anyone would have any problems using a modern multigrade dino oil. Also, your choice of adding STP...

    Octane

    Hey, this thread should be moved to "Jokes and Fun Stuff" By the way... I noticed that my FJR performs noticably better when I am following an old beater cage. You know the type, it is running so rich you get kinda woozy after a while. Well my bike must be suckin' in all that unburned...

    First Oil Thread - Seriously

    JimV The xW number does not matter too much, unless you are heading to the north pole. A lower number will flow better at colder temps, but the oil will still be 40 weight at operating temp. Not to worry, mate. Len

    Octane

    I use the basic, cheap(er) 87 octane gasoline. Never had even a hint of a ping. I try to use the 'Top Tier' stuff because of less sulfer. So far only available at Chevron (AFIK) here in Canada. Otherwise, I buy pretty much what is handy at the time. Len
