Russ, play with the Go Pro, should be fun.

Sorry, mate. Up here we don't have those critters. Suicidal, murderous deer and jumping armadillos are our greatest threats :lol:

A case of beer fits in the Givi, but remember to maintain throttle control :yes:

:lol: Next time I go to town I'll take a pic of Andy sleeping in his patrol car. I moved here from Baltimore, Md...just a bit different. Well, Fred, the way I see it, it's good to have some revs going for me. If I'm gonna hit the binders to stop for a deer, I've got engine braking helping me...

I did not say it is scary. The flatlander, straight road, Floridians did. That's a 2nd gear road. No point in going to third for 15 seconds. Keeping the revs up on that road is also a prudent deer encounter strategy.

:nono: 2nd gear

This is the first video I've ever taken. Ever. It's also probably the absolute worst vid quality you've ever witnessed. Some folks I know from Florida were here to visit last week. I thought it was comical when one of them told me the road to my place was frightening to drive, and they were in...

A message from Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism

Yeah, I had high hopes for the Toggs after reading the enthusiastic reports on them. They seem fine in light rain but in a deluge mine do not perform well. It sucks to have a soaking wet crotch, especially when the temperatures are a bit cool. Maybe the Frogg Toggs are just not meant to handle...

Have a love/hate relationship with Garmin. In the early 1990s I bought one of the first Garmin handheld aviation units. It was simply fantastic, no more flying VOR to VOR. It was liberating. Over the years I've owned a number of marine units, from handhelds to larger chart plotters, all...

Gary at https://www.electric-avenues.com/amplirider.html sold me a special cable to connect my Escort to the Amplirider. A mono plug connects to the Escort, downline is a magic box (an isolator?) and then a stereo plug that connects to the Amplirider. This provides radar audio output to both...

Olympia Recon 2. They are cooler than wearing jeans, really! https://www.revzilla.com/product/olympia-recon-air-pants

Interesting to read about the Tourmasters, will keep them in mind. I know I need to find a better solution to the Frog Toggs. On rides during SFO they kept me dry, but on the way to & from SFO encountering very heavy rain they were worthless. I was drenched from my navel to mid thigh. Most...

Winewhisperer has an outstanding custom paint job but I can't find any pics of it. Maybe shoot him a PM and ask for a few pics.

It's the short trips that'll get ya. I was out of state for several weeks, not on the FJR. A few days ago when I got home, I rode a short distance, a mile or two, to run an errand. Helmet, gloves, jacket, boots, jeans. One half mile from home 2 dogs ran out into the street in front of me...

Thanks for that. Now, here's a question. My netbook has no optical drive, so how do I install anything on CD/DVD on the netbook? Can I patch the netbook to the laptop and and install from the laptop's drive? Just wondering.

Nice ride & report, thanks. I visited Banff and Jasper and rented a canoe at Lake Louise in the mid 1970s. Beautiful area.

'Cause you clean & shine that pretty bike every chance you get...it's an affront to the weather gods :lol:
