Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Josh has been telling me that there aren't any good riding roads in Illinois. Me thinks he may be holding out!!

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
What in the world would take you there? The river roads are decent, but that seems like a weird destination.
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

We were bored and needed a place to go. My buddy said he wanted pizza in Rome, Italy. There was a Rome, IL so we went. There was no pizza in Rome, IL.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
There is Pizza in Paris, IL. It is decent for down south. If any of you have heard of the book "The Pizza Connection" And subsequent FBI investigations, the Joe's Pizza here was the epicenter of that situation. The owner spent a long stint in Federal Prison.
Next time you go for a Ride Bao, be a guy and give me a chance to tag along will ya???

That's why I referenced that. Cav, they were definitely blowing you off. Cross them off your friends list...you've got plenty.

Re: RE: Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Funny you guys mention Paris. It's our next got nothing to do ride destination. Will let you know, Josh, when we decide to go. I figured coach/assistant principal C would be too busy and cool for the rest of us.Cav47 wrote:There is Pizza in Paris, IL. It is decent for down south.

Paris is 30 min South. We can go eat at Moonshine again if you want! Or 36 Saloon.

How is it that I'm loving so many of Wheatie's posts lately? He's on a roll.
FWIW, there is no pizza in Italy Texas either.

A MUCH better looking version. Your model has a hint of dumb. Granted, its hard to attain that dumb as f@$k "look" , but you'll need to get that to nail Cav.
Excellent attempt though, Bao.

As Cav47 has a service manual and I suspect most of us do how about this for an award?

Don't take this CAV!! They're all throwing rocks while living in glass houses! Who hasn't screwed something up? How will you ever learn if you don't break something and have that ooops won't do that again moment? Well, 'cept Andy, he likes breakin' shit.

I represent that statement. (At least nothing expensive, so far.)
...Waiting for warmer weather to do my first valve check on the new(er) FJR as well as taking the opportunity to massively screw up some electricals while rewiring a bunch of shit....

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Yesterday, I put in a new right side headlight, and washed all the crap off Rene. Going to my granddaughter's tennis match last week, I ended up behind a semi on Hwy 53 (lots of curves and elevation changes) that was spewing some kind of liquid on road continuously for 20 miles. I stayed back as far as I could, but, the bike was covered with this crap. Today road the North Georgia mountains, headed up to Bell Mountain, had a great lunch at Rib Country in Hiawassee, and schlepped up to Harrah's Casino in Murphy. We all won, but my buddy hit a $1,000 jackpot literally as we were almost out the door! Lucky bastardo! In all, a great day, and a great ride, with great UPS friends. It was my FJR, a BMW K 1600, and a Slingshot. Retirement really sucks!!
