What did you do to your FJR today?

Festus · Post by **Festus** » Sat Sep 16, 2023 9:58 pm

Rode it over to Viper Dad’s place and watched his son and him bleed the brakes and clutch. Bled my ABS system too, clutch too.

Noticed I have no peg feeler on one side. Would probably explain why I never hit the feeler on the left side

Wheaton, we are going to need WAY more info that what you dropped there!

Well, truth is, it wasn't Lumberg riding bitch. Out of the blue, A week ago, Louanne asked for a short motorcycle ride. I looked at her funny...she had taken herself out of riding years ago. 4-5 years ago. We had a short but sweet ride around the rural landscape around here. We ended up in Tryon, NC where she walked around the shops and I hung close, pretending to be interested. It was a great day. Burned some old gas purchased three months ago in Tennessee.

Thinking of going on a day ride.

Checked for loose fasteners, cleaned the dead bugs off the windshield, and aired up the tires. I uploaded all the routes from the forum to my GPS and created several to give me options for traveling down and back. I also grabbed a bottle of bourbon for medicinal purposes. Now I need to start pulling my gear together for the trip.

Nice being retired and having time to do it now. I'm putting the final touches on my trailer today. Wednesday mounting bike chocks, loading up bikes, washing bikes, getting packed. See you Thursday night.

The Asphalt Gray has grown on me. It looks very good clean or dirty.

I still think the '14 is the best color.

Washed it. Reinstalled my heat troller, as summer is ending. Ordered a PR4GT front and a new warmnsafe heated liner. Mine has seen a lot of use and is too large to allow for efficient heat transfer.

Have you ever ridden a DS bike? From what I've seen following one or two and read about a CT tire on a FJR is that it won't slow you down at all.

Works quite well on the wing...

Been there, done that - to the tune of 30,000 miles or so on two different CT. Saved a bunch of money but never loved it. I am also frugal (cheap), but haven't been tempted to go back.

Well damnit, that's better news than riding with Lumberg. Wish my wife could physically ride with me.

Fixed.

I've never ridden ANY bike with a DS tire. Like all matters these days, I won't knock it until I try it.

Having Lumberg on the backseat would be about the same as Jwilly - it's all fun and giggles until you drop a gear and bank into that first turn...

Truth is she wants you out of her hair. She is tired of you moping around the house on the weekends with your lip poked out.

Doesn't your Bush Piggie have a Dual Sport tire on it?

Cav47 · Post by **Cav47** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 8:51 pm

“DS” has many meanings. Sometimes it means Dual sport, sometimes it stands for Dark Side. And in other instances it means Dip Shit.

Im sure there is truth to that...especially with 24/7/365 coming up. Im seeing fear in her eyes which she won't speak of...and its overcoming her spoken fear of losing me I reckon.

I rode 276 (N/S),BRP, and 215 (N/S).

The weather was perfect too!
