upshift

What did I do to my FJ today? You mean besides installing shortly levers, a new clutch cable, and (wait for it...) the sweet new Bagster seat that arrived in the mail today? Well, I took her to the beach to welcome in the new riding season, of course!

Many thanks, @fddriver2 - very helpful!

Thanks, @piotrek and @fddriver2 - funny, I was just looking at that bag when your notes came in... Also wondering if anyone has had personal experience with any of these... Dowco Rally Pack Firstgear Laguna Viking Sports Bag Rapid Transit Platoon Thanks, in advance, for anything you might provide.

Hope I'm not bogarting this thread but I've also been looking for a tailbag that's not too big but fits my laptop (I have a MacBook Air at 13" x 10"), preferably without having to go diagonal to jam it in. Tried the Nelson-Rigg 1060 but the taper nixed the laptop fit. Pretty sure the Ogio had a similar problem, but now I'm second-guessing that memory (@kiwicanuck , any thoughts?).

By the sounds of it, I could follow behind you and pick up a bunch of sweet gear...

Canadian Pickers.

@kiwicanuck Yup, that could work. I'll ping you later in the week once we see how the weather is looking. Anyone else in the vicinity is welcome to join in, as well.

@kiwicanuck @Bibine @physik3r @@durkadurk ...and any interested others in the Lower Mainland, BC (Canada) area. Sunday's looking promising weather-wise - anyone interested in a FJ-lovers ride somewhere twisty?

I've got the Helmet Guardian which attaches inconspicuously underneath the license plate and has room to lock 2 helmets. http://www.twistedthrottle.ca/helmet-guardian-black Won't stop someone from whizzing in your helmet but keeps your passenger from giving you dirty looks when they have to carry their lid while you walk around unfettered...

Another 2015 here living in Kits. Would be great to go on an FJ group ride, if it ever stops raining this year.

Fantastic story - gave me chills. Talk about squeezing all the lemonade out of a lemon of a situation. Thanks so much for sharing this highly personal and inspiring story.
