Speaking from experience, don't worry about crowds in the Eureka Springs area. Even when there is a large event going on in Eureka Springs, when you get just a few miles out of town there are roads on which you won't meet a car but every 10 miles or more. It's almost like "owning your own...

Back around 1980, one of the guys had a Honda CBX when I had a Suzuki GS1100.  Yes I could outrun him about 4 bike lengths through the 1/4 mile, but let me tell you, when he ran with the baffle out, that CBX with a 6-into-1 sounded religously wicked!  I think that Suzuki's grasp on engine...

The problem I have is that I don't have near enough money or time to do all the things I enjoy.  It also aggravates me when I have to take a break from the important things in life and work!  Below is my October/November passion... way_too_many_hobbies

I also like things that fly including airplanes, Busas, and above. My wife and I had just gotten back from a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, thus the name on our parasail. too_many_hobbies

motioncobra, I was really put out by the special order program also. For one thing, I am a typical consumer, meaning that when I decide to buy something, I want it right now!!! I found though that most of the Yamaha dealers have extra FJRs ordered under family and employee names. So if you...

Thank you GSXcite! Your post made me think of what I saw today. A guy and gal on a crotch rocket were riding along with another couple on a cruiser. That always catches my attention simply because they are two totally different looking bikes, especially when you meet them from the front. I have...

BentValve, I  went to buy a BUSA in 2001 and ended up with the Gold Wing because my wife liked the back seat.  I kept the Wing a few years and sold it to buy the Busa.  My wife won't ride with me at all on the Busa and since I can't haul much on it, I can't ride it during the day for work...

I ordered the conventional shift FJR1300A, not the FJR1300AE with the electric shift. I am always sceptical of new technologies when they first come out. Mine was ordered on September 28th within the first few hours of when the Priority Delivery program opened so I should get one of the first...

This is a farewell to this board as an owner.  I have sold my Busa to one of the board members, but have come up with what I hope will be a suitable alternative.  After much effort, I have successfully mated the two bikes below to produced the third!  <span...

Even though my Busa is for sale in the classified section, I thought I would enter my two rockets.  Yes, the Busa is faster than the Maule. too_many_hobbies

I won't be in the area until the Honda Hoot, but you guys might want to check out this place I ran across on motorcycle online: Kickstand Lodge

I ran across this on www.motorcycle.com. Motorcycle Online described Kickstand Lodge as a new motorcycle friendly place to stay that is only minutes from the Dragon and other great riding in the TN/NC area. One thing that caught my attention when I visited their website, at kickstandlodge.com...

I don’t think the stickers on the 2005 models are a problem because advances in materials and adhesives have actually made them more durable than the paint. A button on my coat nicked a place on my tank down to the metal within the first 50 miles on my red/black 2005. The technology also...

Thanks for all the responses and advice. After your input, I am going to rethink this and will actually probably go with a less expensive trailer. I hauled my Gold Wing several times in the back of my short wheelbase full size Z71 pickup with the tailgate down. I simply used a 6x6 timber with...

him, Yes, that one works. Thank you. Ninja Eater, Due to your first spelling I thought your trailer was some brand I had never heard of. I realize now that you were referring to a trailer for a personal watercraft.
