    The Official SFO Rally 2011

    Made it home with no drama, only a few raindrops. As much as I like Eureka Springs, I have to say the roads around R'ville are awesome. Friday was wet & cool and riding Rt 123 in the rain was a fun challenge. Saturday was darn near perfect and the roads south of 40 to Hot Springs and back...

    Jason, sorry you can't make it, was looking forward to seeing ya. Enjoy Scandinavia, sounds good. Just made my reservation this eve, so hope I'll be at SFO again. We've had so much rain in Arky lately, maybe we'll luck out this time.

    Nafo 2010 & Beyond

    The NAFO & Beyond adventure is over. Had a great time visiting friends & family. Things I learned: Take the heated vest with me! The First Gear Jaunt jacket is truly 100% waterproof. Mercury 2 pants are 90% waterproof. Riding through Tropical Storm Nicole, my butt got wet. TCX boots are...

    Nafo 2010 Home Safe Thread

    You can bet on it Mac. There were several cold rainy days that I wished I'd had it on & plugged in. Live & learn.

    Yes. Paid her bail to get her out of the jail. She was pissed but got over it pretty quickly once she got treats :lol:

    Nafo 2010 & Beyond

    Home. Had a great time, will post more commentary & photos later. Here is my Nuvi screen shot. Does not make sense to me. I was definitely flying on the interstates but there were a lot of slow twisty, rainy & foggy hours too. The total mileage seems correct and the max speed is, uh, ahem...

    Looking for durable practical motorcycle type boots

    Ditto on the TCX. They've kept my feet dry while riding through tropical storms and they are comfortable enough for walking short distances.

    Nafo 2010 & Beyond

    Could very well be, don't know. Adjusted the idle 2 days ago & have not been on the bike since (my uncle loaned me a car for a few days here). Will be getting back on the bike soon to explore some WV roads before heading back to Arkystan.

    Nafo 2010 & Beyond

    I'm still on the road. Had a very nice visit for several days with friends in Baltimore. Am in Pennsylvania now visiting more friends & family. The FJR seems to be running fine but I've had to adjust the idle several times. The idle was low, then a few days later it was idling at 2000 rpm. Do...
