Had an Ohlins on my '86 FJ1200, 'n it was great. Now I have a Wilbers on my FJR, and it too is great. Wilbers USA
Went with Wilbers this time, cuz they build 'em to yer weight 'n riding style, where as the Ohlins is just off the shelf. (Though they usually sping it to yer weight.) With the...
After feeding the CA extortion monster fer decades, I finally got me a Beltronics Pro 300 Amazon.com: beltronics PRO300 10x Range Radar Laser: Cell Phones & Accessories
Couldn't hear the thing at speed, so I got me sum mono (It's gotta be mono!) ear but thinggies. Amazon.com: Mono Earbud Single...
Johnny, glad yer do'in better; retirement was a smart move. (Life's too short to spend slave'in away for the man!)
Maybe we can meet in Yreka, ride doen 96 to Willow Creek, to Weaverville, 'n up 3 to Weed some time? :p
Wut do I think?
Can't speak fer the rest of the world, butt Americans mostly buy bikes to inflate their massive egos; not to ride. For decades I've been hear'in peeps say; "if only they make a sensible bike like this..." Then the manufacturers make it, and nobody buys it. Americans want...
I've always used Fog City inserts, but tried a pinlock (On my RF1100) few tears back 'n really liked it.
They work better than the fog city, and I never took it off, (So the silicone wouldn't stick?) butt, after 'bout a year 'n a half the seal did break, and it started fog'in up. I tried to...
Guess it depends on wut yer definition of "fun" iz? :spank: Actually, this particular ride wuzn't fun at all; it wuz down right scary! Butt fer me, the FZ6 is fun on gravel roads, 'n be'in able to slide 'round on gravel roads helps yer street ride'in. :cheer:
My main ride is an FJR, butt it...
I dun thought the FZ6 iz an adv bike! Blah
A few weeks back, I wuz on a dirt road somewhere in the Mendocino National Forest, and came around a turn, 'n there wuz a Bring Mor Wallet GS come'in the other way w/ a couple onboard. He had his Scubereth modular helmet up, (Prolly cuz it wuz...
The primary reason I dun got the FZ6 iz fer dirt roads 'n such. I ran Pirelli Scorpions, and luv'ed 'em, butt they're kinda pricey and barely lasted 4K mi. I went back to ST tires; PRIIs right now, butt I'll be switching to Bridgestone T30s when these are shagged.
If'n ya want real off road...
Thar, I dun fixed it fer ya. :rof:
Purdie much; woke my sorry ass up at 3:30 a.m. 'n I just 'bout sh!t mahself! :jawdrop:
It seemed ta go on forever, and ever, and ever, and ever... Not as violent as the Loma Prieta quake, but it seemed to last longer.
Next weekend, 'less there's sum other...

Buy Mor Warranty R1200RT as best Sport Tourer! :rof: Guess nun of them lame glossy mags got the stop ride memo. :shakehead: (Guess they ain't heard of the Iron Butt Rally either?)
Too bad they don't take into account the most important things in a moto fer those of us who actually ride; price...
