  1. Last time we left NN a little after 8. Taking the long way I think we were at Poe's around 10:30/11:00AM. We hung out and ate brunch for maybe an hour, then rolled out.
  2. Hey, Va riders! Caferacer, myself, and some of our riding buddies are headed up to "bikes in the bottom" at Poe's Pub in downtown Richmond Sunday morning. Anybody else think they might show up?
  3. Wow, dude. Did you not see my bike in the parking lot, like right next to where this picture was taken? I was sitting in my friends apartment like 300 feet from right there, right across the canal, on Saturday. hahaha
  4. It totally looks like I am flicking you off!!
  5. I know this thread is old. I just ordered a service manual from this site, and though I do not have any proof, this has been my only recent purchase on my credit card outside of local purchases and my card was reported stolen today and used to rent a car in India... I don't remember seeing an option, but use paypal or some other service if you can. I did receive, what appears to be a legit service manual though
  6. When are most people on here doing syncs? The manual has it on the first service and pretty often after that. The service manager at cycle city told me he had never seen a yamaha street triple that needed a TB sync on the first service...
  7. Swoody, you beat me to it...Yes, that was me you just passed, congratulations on finding an FJ! Did you have to go far? You're right, I rescued the lonely Matte Silver '16 from the corner of Cycle City! We'll have to get together for an inaugural Virginia forum ride once I break it in! I wound up getting mine from a dealer in Fredericksburg. They had a demo model with a little under 200 miles on it fixed with the OEM hard cases and touring screen. Not sure how handy you are with a wrench, or if cycle city gave you some deal for the first service. But, they charged me just short of 200$ for my first service, which was basically an oil change and chain adjustment, no throttle body adjustment which would have cost an extra 80$. I feel kind of dooped paying 200$ for maintenance I can easily do for the price of oil/filter I will be purchasing the carb sync tool here shortly, to perform the TB sync myself. Just hit 1000 miles today, only had it 2.5 weeks!!
  8. Hey man, I thinking I passed you this afternoon on Oyster Point Blvd! Silver 2016? I'm guessing you grabbed the model that was at Casey. I looked at it before I got mine and was in there the other day and it was gone! I was on a red '15 with a white/black rev'it jacket. Hit me up if'n you want to go for a ride! edit: making assumptions here, as I haven't seen any other fj's in the area. Might not have been you
  9. I'm in Newport News. Currently on an orange 09 Vstrom, hopefully trading it for a red FJ this weekend!
