VFR drivers. Sheesh...

Andy, It's not looking good for Doreen and me for Saturday. My Mom's been ill and I'll have to stick around. I'm bummed - we were both looking forward to it. Have fun. Mark

Oh. My. God. That was my first ride. Took my first (and only) California m/c license test on one. Wow, that takes me back. She's in magnificent condition. Glad you're giving her a proper home.

Andy, If Doreen and I aren't traveling I'd love to stop by for the day. I've got that fork seal driver combo that HaulinAshe pointed out. I'm not sure if either will help for your Gen I but they work for Gen IIs. I have the NoMar lever but no changer - I use the cheap bastard method. I also...

No question, Dave is a class act and makes top shelf items. You've got me thinking about a Big Foot myself (though I still need to install his PAIR covers on my current sled). Even if I do I'll still keep one of these in my fairing box for .50 cents (Lowes). Cheap insurance that can be passed...

I'd still consider talking to an ambulance chaser. If they smell cash you'll be able to see their tail wagging immediately. The police might not have your best interests at heart (or they may not understand the system as well as they think). Pictures are coming through fine for me. I suppose...

Damn it man, that's scary. I'm glad you're okay. My knee looked about the same when I tested my Motoport pants (also stretch) and I was wearing a thin base layer. Do you know if the ambulance driver was able to answer that important text?

I've got to add my kudos for Marc as well. I was already happy with the FJR and VFR applications. When my girlfriend bought a 2014 F800 GT I ordered the adapter but it turned out BMW had changed the wheel ever so slightly. A quick call to Marc, some pictures and measurements and he had an...

It's official... ...I'm slowing down.

Hasn't been a great year for riding with the new job and the move to Ohio but I did put her away today with 75,911 on the clock. I'm happy to say that Ohio is turning out to be better than I imagined in terms of roads (coming from from Salt Lake). Happy Holidays everyone.

For anyone who can't make the ride or would prefer to solo I put a copy of the gps files here. The green arrow on the left lets you download a number of different formats (Garmin, TomTom, Google, etc.). I don't have any association with SundayMorningRides.com but I like their site. It seems...

Yes, you've made that abundantly clear in your posts. More sound advice. Perhaps you should consider it as well.

Sound advice. I was really just responding to other people's posts. My thanks to you both.

I signed up for the 12 hour rally. I thought it would be a chance to see if LD was right for me. Kind of regretting it now.

Thanks for your concern. Other than the GPS requirement (which I also believe lacks sportsmanship) I think your analogies are inaccurate. SPOT isn't something you spend money on to improve your performance. You're simply awarded points because it's bolted to your machine. I don't think...

Thanks for the input Kit. I had thought the 1088 was an IBA sanctioned event - I appreciate you clearing that up for me. Not sure what NASCAR is but if they're both cage races where nobody makes a right turn then I'd probably lump the two into the same category as well. Guess I need more...

I aim for the lower lever mark with the engine at operating temp and a few mild blips of the throttle. The next day (I usually have a beverage while changing oil) I go for a short ride and check again. I'm consistently back to the high mark by then. It's like I've got my own little refinery...

Funny but mine was last June as well and I ended up in your neck of the woods (Newark) to visit my Mom. Just having a good destination is a huge part of it. I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck and have a great trip.

Fixed if for ya.

You hit it right on the head. It should be mandatory like a helmet and riding gear. In fact there ought to be legislation that requires it for all of motorcyclists everywhere. :rolleyes: All kidding aside, I'm an ATGATT guy but I don't like helmet laws. Let Darwin do his thing. For an...
