Isabella will ride on! Small (sorry, best I can do) donation sent to Fred.

First bike was an Italian, a Ducati 160. The fastest, coolest bikes at the time were the 650s so naturally I joined in the fun. BSA Thunderbolt, Triumph Bonneville, and then a sweet BSA Spitfire. Would love to have one again.

You are supposed to twist the throttle. Go ahead, twist it to the stop (and hold on tight). Don't worry about the color of the pipes.

I'm planning on meeting up with the group on the 5th as you cross into ARK. Can meet at the to-be-determined beer stop in Thayer? or at Mammoth Springs Park just before the turn onto RT9.

It's true! Trust me. :lol: (Caveat being Germany)

You all are going to have a great time! A few pointers- 1) Take off on your own for at least one day. Edelweiss will advise against this but rules are made to be broken. Do as I did and get totally lost and run out of fuel in the mountains on a Sunday when everything is closed and where no one...

Very nicely done! Thanks.

It was a good show Turk. Bought tickets back in Nov, I think. Had great seating. Probably Waters' last tour. Pics were taken with a 36mm to get the entire stage in the frame.

The Wall Live Nashville, TN 19June12 It was a great show!

I'm in. Old Pilot- Fred Hardy, AR

Nice pics Mike. Thanks again for your efforts in putting this rally together. The rally was a hoot. I liked that it was not an overly organised affair. The roads are great, the owners & wait staff are friendly, the food is good, Happy is a cool dog, and The Hub itself is a good venue for...

Home safe & dry! Good rally, had a great time.

Yep. That was a great race.

Nice ride report, Turk.

This is close to what I did when I bought my FJR. I got more involved though and spoke with the seller's lender myself to be certain of the payoff amount and procedures as his lender was not local to either of us. I had his lender mail the title to me. Here is the important thing: When I gave...

Looking forward to it Mac.

Got my new rubber on this morning! The owner of the shop changed the tires by hand, no changer, and definitely knew what he was doing. He did a good job. He balanced with a bubble balancer. I ran it up to 100mph on the way home and it is smooth. He charged me $50 and I gave him an extra $20. He...

Hey, are you trying to get this moved to NEPRT? Seriously though, NEPRT is your best bet for reading tomes of tire comparisons (but you can't go wrong with PR2s).

That's sort of the image of the guys in the shop that said they could not change 'low profile' tires. The shop had 2 Confederate flags hanging inside. They were building what I'd guess would best be described as chopped trikes with VW engines. More like abominations. The shop owner told me the...

Well, all seems to be right with the world. Rode to the newly found independent shop this morning. One of the first things I saw there was a black FJR. It did not look too happy, what with most of its right side plastics missing. Asked the shop owner about it. He said the FJR rider dumped it on...
