Jasen, let us know what you find. Working PB with my iPad is especially frustrating (I use the iPad 99% of the time), and that Walmart ad is infuriating! :evil:

FWIW - the pay version of Photobucket works 1000% better than the free version. For $25.00 a year, I gave in.

[shameless plug] My 2001 Audi is German. She still runs great, even with over 130,000 hard miles and many long trips. She needs an electronic component replaced and a few cosmetic things repaired before Aunt Kelly gets full driver privileges.

Don't let one bad German apple spoil the whole barrel.

As for my FJR, Clearwater Darlas appeared at our home yesterday that will become fork-mounted. Gotta call some help to get under the cowling and install three or four things.

I did that already as well. And I STILL hate that site. Just wait till your year expires and you try to renew.

One bad apple? 3 minutes standing in the service department of any brand of vehicle will tell you everything you need to know.

During The Fight I made Mrs. Redfish really look at what was happening in the BMW service department. We walked across and just looked at the Audi/Porsche service area. We had already seen Mercedes.

If you ever drive your Audi to Mrs. Redfish's house you can park it in the driveway, but not under the carport. Just don't block in the Infiniti, that will be what we drive to dinner. 8-)

I washed (pronounced with an R) mine last weekend. It's got fewer bugs on it. The boundary layer should be smoother and the extra weight lost from the bug guts should add to acceleration and top end.

Rode it, and purchased a set of T-REX Engine Guards Protectors / Sliders.

Looking at some CLearwater lights the Krista-Erica Hybrid option. Pay the Krista price and get one of each..

I'm on my 3rd or 4th year with the pay version of PB - no problems yet (knocking wood and everything else I can think of....)

If you guys need an image host, imgur is pretty decent.

I placed an order for a vstream sport touring shield today. Somehow, I feel guilty...

Why? Because you did not go with the Cee Bailey Sport Shield Dark Tint like the rest of the Cool Kids? 8-)

Don't feel guilty. It's okay to be different.

What he said. Aren't all of us here a little different, except for the 'FJR owner' label?

I mean ... really .... :bustinlove: ... we are.

It's more than okay to be different...in fact we encourage it. Gives us something to talk about while wrenching and riding FJRs.
