But do you have the metal balls hanging from the rear fender for that true French look. You'll have a long way to go to beat this Frenchmen from La Belle Province back in 2010....

There you go El Grande Dane, Paco knows how to do it!

Geezer wrote:So, did the windscreen break or did it just break free from the plastic screws?

I suspect that towing on an open trailer with no person behind the windscreen would put a lot more stress on that windscreen than normal riding.

Or maybe it was that PURE Michigan air?

Greg the windshield is still primo, just snapped five of the six plastic screws plus the chintzy plastic covers.

Brother Geezer in regards to your comment on PURE Michigan air, all Papa Chuy Viejo has to say on this subject is that you do not want to be standing downwind of Bust when he cuts a wet and greasy beer fart! jes' sayin' and nuff said!

Just call me "El Rey de Trailer Reinas", ever since I towed my 2003 FJR Miss Lucy Liu to Saratoga Springs to start Son Seth and I riding to Mont Tremblant in Quebec Province I have been sold on trailering to great motorcycle riding. At age 64 and a certified million miles on two wheels, 550K listed with the BMW MOA Club alone, I now just want to get to the good riding quickly. It takes 500 miles of desert to go West to ride the California coastline, 1000 miles due North of wastelands to get to the beauty of Idaho and 1500 miles to go East across freaking New Mexico and dust dry Texas to get to the twisties of Arkansas. Dudes, it just no longer thrills me to slab flat and boring miles on mi Moto when I can trailer my bikes to a kickoff point for the really great riding! Makes sense to Papa!

A fantastic and generous offer 0face, you are a Scholar and a Gentleman kind Sir. The windshield is fully mounted back onto Miss Naomie Harris, when Bustanut joker sobered up enough this morning to point me to the Owosso Hardware Store I picked up six Stainless Steel 5mm by 19mm screws. Bust makes his own FJR plastic washers and in five minutes I had the windshield reinstalled, when I get back home to Chandler, Arizona I will pick up the correct plastic screws from Yamaha Powersports Dealership. Tonight Barry and Chuy will get pictures of mi Motocicleta, with El Sombrero and Mexican flags mounted on beautiful Naomie!

I can't believe that I am agreeing with an Irishman... Although I am substantially younger than you (63) trailering a bike a couple of thousand miles to an area that you want to ride in is the way to go... Having an enclosed trailer with the bike out of the wind and elements while you sit in the air conditioned cab of your truck heading down the concrete slab is the only way to go... Leave the tedious boring miles to the common man like Old Michael! Why do I trailer my bike... Because I can.... and I don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone any more. Go for it Irishman!

Yep. +1, Gunny, and all that stuff. You are going to be thirsty.

I'm not gonna bust on you for you trailering to get to the good stuff. I've done enough of the boring shit to get to the good shit that I have your back on this one. In fact, I'm probably going to trailer down to EOM this fall. Mind you, if you trailered, oh, say, 200 miles like some corner burning, tire eating, blue bass boat riding guy, well then, your fair game.

You guys are getting soft. For me, the ride to get there is a big part of the adventure, even if it means crossing Kansas.

f@$k riding across Kansas, they can give that piece of shit state back to the Indians and we Americans have not lost a god damn thing! jes' sayin' and nuff said!

Don my friend, it's time for an enclosed trailer. Rossi approved of course...



Have a good time in Canada,with all those crazy Cannucksters around let me know if you need any bail money.

If you are going to own a BMW then a trailer is mandatory for when the water pump implodes or the rear drive explodes.

We Beemerphiles do not use the term "mandatory", rather we say "discretionary" eh!

+100,000. Kansas sucks big green donky dick.

I'm OK with enclosed bike trailers as long as it's not mine, I can borrow it, and it has a beer fridge in it! The one in the picture above is not Hoser approved. It must remain in the US.

Honestly, I started this but I trailer my bike all the time, I see no point in wasting 1,000 miles of a 3,000 mile tire that cost $200 on a slab....I would rather trailer and enjoy the fun roads with the bike...not to mention, if I trailer, I can get the wife / kid to drive and I can relax!

Hmmm.
…..TRAILERS?
…..Why would you ride when you can drive?
…..You don't want to wear out your tires?
HO
LEE
SHIT!

What's next? Are y'all gonna start wearing doo-rags? Leather vests?
...50 mph in the fast lane?
You're turning into a bunch of Bokerforks.


fjrob1300 and Moosehead (A couple of R-I-D-E-R-S) will be disgusted with you boys ...when they get home and sober up.

Good eye Bill but the Beemer isn't mine however trailering to Red Bluff to ride 36 and escape 110 degree heat - priceless!
