What did you do to your FJR today?

[Festus]

One FJR is listed for sale. I'll have another listed for sale in another week. Then two more in the near future hopefully.

I'm sorry, what? I thought the #1 rule of FJR Club was we don't sell FJR's

In my garage they multiply like rabbits!

Does anyone really need 13 FJRs??? Does anyone really *want* 13 FJRs??? I have found the answer to be NO!

Now, before everyone gets their panties in a bunch:

One of those was bought on the cheap specifically as a parts bike.

Two of them are nut currently assembled/running and are long term projects.

And a couple of them were bought specifically to flip after getting some much needed TLC. (More freaking projects)

And one of them will go to Europe for the long term next year or 2026.

I also have a Neutrino PDM (all digital) laying around I eventually want to install on one of my FJRs. $$$$!!!

...My only complaint on the FZ1 is that I wish they'd double layered it so the ground was under the power, so you could just run the wire to the block with minimal split to it. Having to split and go around to the other side leaves it messier than I'd like it to be....

My FZ-1 (at least 12 years old) has the main ground, trigger, and 12V connection right next to each other on the same side of the block. The PCB has a solder line to the circuit grounds. 4 FJRs and almost 200K miles later, still works like a champ.

Today, 3 of my good buddies and I rode the motorcycles. For me and one other, it was about 275 miles. One other cut it short by about 100 miles, and the 4th met us in the middle from North LA and he probably rode about as much as I did.

Randy (north LA) has a 2023 GSXR 1000GT with a recently upgraded rear shock (not sure from what - about 100 pounds more spring stiffness). Sweet ride:



Mike is enjoying his brand new '24 AT - I like the color combinations on this bike.



Alex chose the RT today - the white color on this bike is really nice.



We met in the middle at a taco stand we all like. I had the Cuban sandwich - different, but tasty.



And of course, we stopped mid afternoon for the obligatory confection.



Nice day in the back country.

Stay thirsty, my friends....

I prefer the PC-8 over the FZ1... much more compact, which I need on a bike with little under seat room for one..... currently have an FZ1 I"ll trade for a PC-8 if ya like...... I don't see the logic in one of them fancy electronic fuse boxes... what the heck we need all that complication for? Meh. K.I.S.S.

I am not usually a fan of white bikes, but that AT is a nice looking bike!

Not to be pedantic but that is not a classic Cuban sandwich. Discussions on a proper Cuban sandwich in FL can probably get as heated as a discussion on gumbo in LA.

Yours doesn't look like this?

Had one of those on my 14 GS under the back seat. I liked it very much. Bought one when I got the 21 GS and had to return it. The newer bike did not have room for it under the rear seat, unless I put it in an unaccessible area in the tail. Kind of defeated the purpose.

[Spininprop]

Been running a Fuzeblocks since my 16 FJR, moved it over to the 22 as soon as I rode it home. Been 100% reliable. All accessories come off it.

[gixxerjasen]

If I didn't have to pull the wires going from the front of the bike to the back I'd just move the one over from the FJR, since the FJR is currently only using one slot on the FZ1 so it's kind of a waste, but I'm lazy.

I got un-lazy and went out to the garage to pull it off. Seems I mis-remembered and there's three devices connected to it. Guess I can expect this "Mis-remembering" thing to get worse as old age continues to set in.

Now I have to buy a new one.

[raYzerman]

Just where does one get one of these memory cards??

Oh, it gets worse.

Snuggled all 3 into their corner for the winter. Went and got 16 gallons of ethanol free 90 gas in a nearby town. It’s what just has to happen around here. It’s the only way to keep all 3 in the garage plus the Tacoma and the wife’s car while still having access to my workbench.

Can't "like" packing the bikes away for months.

What the....is that black plastic tube suspended from the ceiling the barrel of a spud cannon??

[wheatonFJR]

Im guessing the spud cannon is a long vacuum attachment so he can reach the garage ceiling and all the midwest Black Widows.

lol. It is the blower attachment for blasting leaves and debris out of the gutters. It allows me to just walk around the house from the safety of the ground.

I need gutter guards, but the roof is new and the asphalt granulas will fall in there for a few years. Prob next year I will cover the gutters.

Looks great, until the wife says,"Honey, I need that storage box off that shelf right there".

[Bugnatr]

Spud cannon sounds like a lot more fun.

My neighbor had micro mesh gutter guards. The mesh just got plugged with fine grit then the water just ran over the gutter. I could see it all from my second floor window. As a result I would not buy gutter guards and my neighbor was disappointed he did.

[Panman]

I have the those and I have to sweep off the mesh one in awhile but that is better than all the Cedar crap plugging up the drain field. If I lived in Spokane where it doesn't rain I wouldn't have bothered.

I had gutter guards installed a couple of years ago. When I asked if they were maintenance free I was told "Do you want to clean gutters or gutter guards, because you'll be cleaning one of those". Yes, they get clogged with leaves and crap too. The difference is when I use the gutter cleaning contraption that Josh has, I'm not blowing wet mud, worms, and soggy leaves all over me on the ground. The gutter guards keep the stuff dry and blow off MUCH easier and cleaner. I'm glad I got the gutter guards, but they still require some work.
