Hey all, Just thought you might like to see some of the shots that were taken of me by Killboy on the Dragon when I went down there last week. Some are pretty sweet. :) I'm still working on updating the web site and doing a write-up of the ride, but this should wet your appetites a bit in...

It is... you're skrewd. The first sample is free. Every hit after that is gonna cost you another farkle in order to make it "better" next time. But, you're hooked now, might as well go ahead and order your next set of tires and that barn-door wind screen now and get it over with. ;)

Zorkler, the above mentioned farkles can help... for me the Throttlemeister cruise lock is essential. Other than that... relax and stretch. I find my natural habit is to tense up my shoulders and arms, even on an uncrowded and straight interstate run. I have to periodically tell myself to...

Quick, yes those last links worked... at least the map did. I didn't bother checking the directions once I saw the map. It's almost the exact same route that I'm going to be uploading, so I'm pretty sure I know where you're going. But... that brings to mind a favor I could use from...

SaddleSore 1000... 1000 documented miles in under 24 hours. Requires witness and odometer verification at the start and finish, plus printed and dated reciepts at every gas stop. It's probably the easiest of the Iron Butt rides you can do. Don't get me wrong, it's tough if you aren't used to...

Hey Quick... save yourself the effort... the route you posted is almost exactly what I'm going to be changing the "Wicked Beast" ride to. The only real exception is that I'm planning on taking 143 from Robinsville over to route 28, which is a VERY nice ride. I'll have GPS tracks and the route...

I'll most likely be there. Will let you know for sure in a couple of days... waiting on a co-rider to finalize his vacation time. That'll let me know if I'll be able to make it by Thursday. Good luck! :)

Twas quite good. I did get quite wet, several times. I'll be posting up a post on here and on the site shortly... I'm still playing e-mail catch up and trying to do a write up of everything. But, I will say one thing now... if anyone is on the fence about getting a new set of tires before the...

Yo, SNP... did you snake my FJR logo off the EOM web site and then doctor it up? If so, I can send you the Hi-Res Photoshop version I made instead... might be easier. It's all layered and such, so recoloring or whatever should be easy. As for the financials... There ain't none! I've had a...

Thanks guys, I printed out this thread before I took off, so I would have it if needed. Unfortunately, I got poured on for most of my trip, so I decided I needed a real room where I could dry stuff instead of a campground. I'll definately be checking out Iron Horse for future trips, but I...

Thanks guys. I'm on my way! :)

Hey all, I'm leaving TOMORROW morning to head down to Townsend to check out the area. But... I forgot one minor issue. I have no place to stay!!! Anyone know of a nice campground in the area, preferably MC oriented? Even more preferable if there's one with Internet available.

This is kind of out there, but worth checking... Take a look UNDER the shaft side of the swing arm in front of the pumpkin. There's a drain hole right there. If you've got oil coming out of there, it might blow out while moving and not show up at any other time. But, if it's got a coating of...

BTW... I forgot who set up that deal from Mother Yamama. If you be he, shoot me an email and tell me who to thank from Yamaha!

I was happily chilling at the house yesterday and comtemplating the removal of my throttle return spring when the big ole brown van of love (UPS) pulled into the driveway. Out hops a dude and starts loading up a handtruck with boxes. I'm about to run down and save him the trouble, as I hadn't...

Bummer. :( Hopefully something will come up and you'll be able to make it after all. If not, there will be other meets, I'm sure. Along those same lines... it seems that someone else miscalculated my vacation time, in a big way. I will probably be unemployed shortly! :D This is a good...

I don't know if you've tried it, but I always run with the shield (stock) down when it's raining. I use a full-face helmet and generally either have the rain gear or am already wet. Either way, the shield does nothing for me in the rain. With it down, the wind on the helmet keeps blowing the...

I was just giving you midwest guys some grief. ;) Ohio really isn't THAT far away from Virginny... I'm reasonably sure I can make the October ride. Will let you know a bit later on. I'm not going to be able to make an end of August trip out there though, so y'all have fun on that one if it...

What the hell?!? Are we Virginians not invited? :(
