    Wayne (ExtremeMarine) and Annette Update

    OMG - I'm just finding out about this! They're in my thoughts & prayers. I remember riding with Wayne. He's such a dynamic guy, I'm sure his personality will help pull them through.

    NY - Adirondack's Ride June 14th 2008

    Wherever & whenever, sounds good to me. We should be arriving Latham mid-afternoon Friday, would like to eat dinner with some of the group. Close-by sounds good, we would be able to walk <1 mile to Ruby's from the hotel, because it means I can drink at dinner. On the other hand, we're also...

    How many tickets?

    They can't ticket you if they can't catch you. In my case, I got lucky. I got clocked for what should have been a $500+ violation. But the cop wrote me up for a $76 infraction because I slowed down and pulled over when I saw his lights come on. He claimed he never would have caught me. He...

    Sad to say, this appears to have happened up your way... Beer-Can Toss Leads to Fatal Crash

    need recommendation for small non-magnetic tank bag

    This is what I use, and is great for a little catch-all bag. The install allows you to position the bag on the tank where you want it within a range of about 4 inches. Twisted Throttle Daypack2

    Uhh...you don't know what you're getting into here. I only ride on Friday the 13th when Friday falls on the 13th. Remember, you were warned. About what, I'm not sure... :ph34r:

    NY - Adirondack's Ride June 14th 2008

    Well, I'll start, if it's a littlke spinkle in the forecast, no problem. If it's forecast for one solid day of rain, wife ,may or may not come along. If it looks like a heavy washout, I'm staying home, my gear just finished drying out from last weekend, course it smells better now that it's...

    NY - Adirondack's Ride June 14th 2008

    For breakfast? Sheesh, that's pretty early to crack one open, even by my standards. :dribble: :blink: Our route should take us through the Catskills around lunchtime, so if we see a chain of FJRs go by in the other direction, we're just going to turn and follow... :yahoo: ...and hope we end...

    Wahoo. Got my FJR - dumb question #1,2

    The manual says 87. I get better mileage on 87 octane. I can feel more heat on 92 octane. I can't hear any difference or feel any difference in power, like I could on other bikes. So I pretty much run regular, with an occasional shot of premium when I'm riding during mid-winter months. By...

    Now what do I do?

    Tell her you are going out for a ride, and beg her to come enjoy it with you, tell her you really want to enjoy this together. Works for me...

    Yamaha top case

    Why don't you try strapping it on with a couple of cable ties, you had a lot of success with the GPS mount. :lol: Seriously, I have the small Premier rack and it's great, allows 2 standard positions for my GIVI case. One of the pre-drilled sets may fit the Yami case, or you could drill your...

    NY - Adirondack's Ride June 14th 2008

    Tentative plans are to leave Friday morning, we both have the day off, take some long cool & shady twisty roads, arrive late afternoon. Staying at the Hampton, because I got a better rate than at the Super 8 & it also bumps me up a rewards level. Looking forward to this.

    NY - Adirondack's Ride June 14th 2008

    We'll stay at either Super 8 or Hampton for rewards points. We may stop for dinner on the way to break up the ride. Depends on how early we are able to leave Friday. Would be nice to meet that evening though, at least for coffee, or something stronger...

    Stelvio Pass on Top Gear

    I certainly was not impressed by their driving skills. I'd be more impressed if they had to negotiate a couple of Fiats. I'm sure other traffic did not appreciate being held back so they could film. Still, it brought back some good memories for us, once is not enough.

    Got it penciled in on my calendar. Would also like to catch Randy's outing, if he does it again next year. Upstate NY is just the right distance from home for a great overnighter. Hope it works out.

    No, the best model year is the one I own.
