What did you do to your FJR today?

Parked it at Americade in Lake George NY. Had some backup keys made.

Does anyone know how to get a backup key made for a Givi box?

Parked it back in its little bedroom at home. It has 5821 more miles on its odometer than it had when I left 2 weeks ago.

Well, my day was substantially less exciting. I did swap out a PCV and put in a PCIII. I also finally opened my box from RockyMountainMC full of fasteners I'd ordered and set about replacing those that had gone missing and were either still missing or were incorrect. Found that some that were previously silver are now black from Yamaha.

Spent the whole day in the garage but that's all the FJR had done.

After 15 days and 9000 miles, I let my steed take a rest today. It going to get a much needed bath.

Took in a little frisky 150 mile ride...tight twisties, scenic overlooks, meeting new riders from the area. All good.

I've been road testing the STS turn signal system since last Wednesday, a couple of thousand miles to Ohio and back....... works good!

Rode it today for the first time in over a week. Our usual commute to work. She ran great and felt good.

My brand-new wife has an overnight trip to Dallas today (TX, not GA) so the Big Grey Girl might get a few more miles of use this evening. Sunset's not until 8:48 pm.

If you just got married, congrats!

I assume she's not the BIG GREY GIRL?

No; my brand-new wife is a slender, moto-riding, smart-ass redhead.

I'm with Joe; rode it to work. Looks like we're getting the humid heat this week in my area (and storms for the latter half).

I did re-bleed the clutch over the weekend (last done at Bob's Tech day not long ago)...the clutch felt really soggy.

Rode the filthy thing to work. It has a couple thousand miles of dead bugs on its snout and needs washing badly. But it's raining outside as I type this so it may get washed naturally on the ride home.

Tipped over in a mountain pull off. Rashed some paint and, of course, broke the pot metal mirror mount.

Damn shame, sir. Careful, or your bike will start looking like mine!

Left it in the garage and stupidly rode the gixxer to work. 100 mile round trip commute, thinking of the comfy seating position every second of the ride that I wasn't yanking on the throttle.

When I left I thought the gixxer was a toy that I was about to fall off of. Forgot how those things feel. Then when I got home I'd come to terms with the gixxer and hopped on the FJR sitting in the garage. Holy moly that bike is huge. That said, the next day I have to go into the office I'm taking the Feej.

I get the same feeling hopping on the SV after riding the FJR for a while.

Rode it to work again...after adding air to the back tire

Took it to scrub a month worth of dead bugs off of it then took it for a nice ride and applied a fresh layer of dead bugs.

Took the trim panels off to inspect the damage. I think it's got a twist now, so maybe JB Weld isn't going to be the answer for this one.
