Hmm. Interesting. Mine's disabled but when I washed it after SFO the devil screen retracted. Only once. Has never retracted while riding in the rain though. Figure that out.

beemerdons- The guy who bought my FJ wanted this screen with it but I told him it would cost him $4k extra, ha ha. I can't afford Europe any more for I am a poor man now. If you go to the Edelweiss party have a great time!

Italia! The windscreen from my long gone FJ1100.

Hmm, I kinda thought he looked plenty big enough. Definitely not planning any harm. The thing startled me more than anything, damn near stepped on it. I live in the woods. It's like a jungle within a few feet of either side of my house. Been here 2 years and I have not had any problems with...

Nah, I did not hoe him or harm him, only photographed him & pissed him off a bit by trying to handle him. He went off into the woods beside the house. Would be interesting to see him climbing a tree or something. The only snakes I've ever dispatched were rattlesnakes and copperheads, and then...

He would not smile for the camera so I don't know. Yes, lots of water nearby. You're thinking Cottonmouth. Possible I guess. It's hard for me to see the difference but I still think it is a black rat snake.

Almost stepped on this guy as I walked off the deck in bare feet & shorts. By using the photo and measuring the concrete + adding a few inches of slack, he is over 6' long. When I tried to pick him up by the tail he acted aggressively. Coiled, twitched the end of his tail, and confronted...

Very nicely done RJ. Hat's off to ya.

Good deal, thanks. I too am still getting Sport Rider free.

Here ya are, Mike

Raise your hands if you're lovin riding awesome Arkie roads in the rain!

Home in one piece. Took a twisty detour that added an hour to my wet ride but it was fun. No performance awards :yahoo:

I'll be riding sedately (slowly!), and stopping often for pics and bathroom breaks and an afternoon siesta :rolleyes: . Um, something tells me I might be ridin' by myself. Still recuperating and am easily fatigued so won't be doing the longer routes either. Was kinda hoping there would be...

My experience mimics that of escapefjrtist. The RF1000 had much more chin room than the Multitech that I have now. Kinda regret selling the RF1000 but needed the $$ to help pay for the new Multitech. The RF1000 is a very good helmet and you should become comfortable with it in short order.

Thanks for the routes Scotty. Got 'em loaded.

I bought a used RC 1 piece for $300. It was obviously well used but structurally sound and had had all the armor recently replaced. It was grey/black originally and had faded to a nice light gray/olive drab patina. Unfortunately I decided to dye it. Was trying for a dark grey but it ended up...

I'm beginning to hate you California guys. Nah, I'm just jealous. Nice pics & report, thanks. Oh, and now I realize why people look at me oddly when I walk into a store with my Multitech on and flipped up :wackosmiley:

This thread finally provided the impetus for me to go and have spare keys made. The old hardware store tried their best, their duplicates opened the luggage but would not work in the ignition, no charge. Went to a local locksmith today and had 2 spares made. $5. Quite a bargain for the peace of...

Very nicely done Old Michael. Thanks for taking us along.

Doubt it. Have used self-inflating life jackets (CO2 cartridges) while sailing in direct sunlight in some damned hot weather for weeks on end. In the life jackets the CO2 cartridge is riding just over your chest or belly. Have not witnessed anyone spontaneously exploding while sailing....yet.
