    Goat Trail Maddness!

    Any chance you want to test out your route before the big ride? I'm off work until 8/31. October is a long way off.

    Painting Recommendation NorCal???

    Please do NOT bother to respond to this EX-FJR owner. His bike was totalled - by the insurance dude. He bought a 2000 BMW w/ 20K miles on it and it looks brand new.

    I wanna cool down my '05 FJR

    OK you site search gurus, where the heck are the posts for the Engine/Tank heat sheild modification with the ACE hardware part numbers to help w/ the "heat problem" above the engine to keep the tank cool? I have spent 1 hour using all kinds of words like "fu@king hot bitch" and only came up with...

    Orangevale to Cameron Park to Lassen

    I agree that it was worth the award, and we sure did had fun...until the sun went down and I only had a dark shield. FWIW: O'Vale is an excellent rider and I learned to keep the "body leaning part" of the turning for the un-expected, after we discussed this during Breakfast in Forestville...

    Orangevale to Cameron Park to Lassen

    ++ Well…Radar was useless in our scenario - the leader needs the Radar, not the guy behind urging the leader to go faster and faster. All day long I was constantly getting “real” signals from ¼ mile away with my Escort passport with the H.A.R.D. unit in my eyes, from LEO’s that had pulled over...

    Cameron Park to Quincy - long day

    O'vale, thanks for the ride & the clear shield @ 23:00. No dirt for us, we modified the route. Lassen was cool, with lots of snow still up there. 0001: Now my wife is missing, so I have more important things to attend too. 0030: Wife found w/ PNM attitude..."I told you it was an all day...

    Hugger group buy

    I got my Hugger a few days ago. The packing was bad, but the part seems OK. I'm not very mechanically inclined and don't have very many tools. RadMan or someone else...What does "tapping involve? I already have about 5 cordless drills. What other tools do I need to buy? Could someone please...

    Open Passes

    Big o'l Thanks to MM2 for planning that ride, It was wonderful. I loved the "natural cool off "rain/hail" @ Lake Alpine. Following O'vale on 49 home was a blast - what speed limit?? Just multiply by 2X. Anyone wanna do it again tomorrow? Call 916 812-1971, ask for BBIII or Bill or Edgar -...

    Starcom and Escort X-50 radar detector?

    I suggest you buy a H.A.R.D. system to put a LED in you helmet, then you can have audio & visual detection telling you where the LEO's are. FYI: In Northern California the LEO's drive around with the radar constantly on, so I get detection 1/2 mile away. In So. Cal they use instant on...

    Smart Money

    I agree with everything they said except ""It carves up corners more readily than most tourers despite a scarcity of cornering clearance. Assuming you dimensions match it's relatively compact cockpit, Yamaha's bullet train will wisk you from L.A. to Nacogdoches comfortably." After 10K since...

    How many miles?

    I'm in the same boat. I only get 4K on my tyres due to lack of right wrist control, and am planning a trip about the same time that starts in Sacramento to Portland/Vancouver WA for business for 3 days and then I'll just go back where the weather is moderate, to stay away from summer heat. Have...

    Holeshot header stock pipe map

    i think i have the 1st holeshot full system WITH a crossover tube between the headers. The bike runs great and sounds wonderful. Anyone know a good dyno center in sacramento, CA area that can help with a custom map? It seems like i got plenty of midrange, in expense of WFO top speed...
