The odd thing is that yesterday I rode with the helicopter pilot that flew him down from the mountain and a guy who recently got a ticket and lecture about the 30 mph guy who ended up in a coma, from the ranger who was there. Small world.... TC My thoughts and prayers go out for that poor man...

Thanks TC, ExSkiBum & CAJW for an excellent 411 mile ride, and keeping it relatively slow due to my recent performance awards* I'm certainly glad I brought my Gerbing electric vest & gloves, it gets chilly at 9000ft. I'm really surprised we didn't see any forest rats. *The friggin day after I...

Excerpt from Wally's write-up at https://www.fjrtech.com/getdbitem.cfm?item=39 "I'm also wild about decent mileage and this map should provide that, or it should be no worse than what you have, BUT, all bikes are different. It could make your mileage worse or provide the incentive to use the...

I also have a Sargent seat, but since I am vertically challenged, it's simply too high for me, doesnt' seem to have much give... seems comfortable enuf, but after all the lowering I did on my bike, it's kinda useless to me..it's for sale as soon as I get around to posting it in the right...

Is Wally's Map OK for addtional stuff like my holeshot headers and slip ons & K&N air filter ? Reason I ask is that I bought a PCIII, holeshot headers/slip ons & K&N air filter and it came with a custom map, but nobody will ride behind me because the bike is running so rich that it smells like...

I made some special keys that stay in my saddlebag locks, I just cut the keys down and gorrilla glued them to a radio shack knob. They are cut too small to fit into the ignition to start the bike, but they work just fine to unlock the seat. So guess where the spare key is? Of course I take...

Andrew, When you & I did our little day trip (with a LEO award) from Cameron Park to Lassen via goat trails like Forest Hill & Mosquito Ridge, my highway pegs touched down a few times at the same time the regular pegs were touching during some lean angles induced by my bad riding techniques...

Thanks, but this is what changed my mind - "Rick does tend to tip you towards the gas tank" BB III

Uber, Tilly & BBIII rode the Pre-GTM route today. It was awesome, NOT recommended for pillions, they may just make you pull over and hitch-hike w/ a cager.

Uber, Thanks for leading the ride. You promised goat trails and we got some VERY challenging roads. Today was the first time since I've owned my '05 (13 months) that I have dragged a right peg, without even trying. The left one dragged a few times also, but I'm getting used to that. Sorry...

8/24/2006: Nevermind. I changed my mind and am going to Russel later this year. I already ordered the stock seat(s) from Gary McCoy.

OK, see you in Jackson Mel's diner at 0800.

Perfecto: This is the Sunday 8/20 ride that is just what I'm lookin for. I have heard of a some of these roads you are talking about, but have never been there. Meet where? in Jackson at what time? Do you have a Garmin GPS and can you send me the "program"? What do we do if we get seperated...

Full Edit... O'vale, Cancel my participation. I ordered stock seat(s) from Gary McCoy and the pillion is back ordered and won't get to Gary until 8/31. So I guess I'll make the trip sometime in September. I need to sell my Sargent seat here or on Ebay to help pay for the BMS.

Edit 8-18-06 6:00 PM I can't go on the 29/30. Uber, Can U go sometime next week like the 22-23-24th? Uber, I was hoping you knew some GT roads over in your area. I ride Wentworth/Icehouse/Salmon Falls at least once a week, but it is still a lovely ride, but not exactly what I would call goat...

Edit: Never mind, can't go. Wife wants to go shop for antiques AKA old junk.

I agree that Spring is a much better time, but I'm always stuck training people that time of year and can't get away, even for a weekend. I propose a fall Yosemite ride on 9/16 or 9/23 for those of us who can make it up/down to Yosemite. Should I start a new thread ?

To stop hi-jacking Uber's GTM ride planning in October thread. I'm off 8/17 thru 8/30 and am looking to ride any of those days. I live in the Folsom/Placerville area. Post up if you want to ride. I'll go anywhere EXCEPT Yosemite Valley.

Andrew, what date r u talking about?
