    Mesh Jacket w/armor

    Joe Rocket textile mesh jacket. Works great even in the 100 degree heat we have here. Of course doin' 80 helps a lot.

    Bun-Burner 1500

    I had my seat redone by Spencer clicky and it worked quite well. Best 100bucks ever and a seven day turnaround. No sheepskin or beads but finally found some beads for 16 bucks but too late to order. After 52 years of riding though I finally see the wisdom in a throttle stop or cruise control...

    Bun-Burner 1500

    Thanks Shawn. The temp was 102 at 2:00pm and at that stop I switched back to MPG reading cause I didn't want to know how hot it was at 4pm :blink: The high plains gave us time and distance but took away strength and endurance. Thank goodness for 6hrs of sleep and a nice LIGHT shower for...

    Bun-Burner 1500

    And boy is my butt sore! :yahoo: But we pulled it off as planned. :ph34r: James on an '04 BMW R1150R Rockster and I on my Feej. Started Friday the 24th at 5:00am and headed to I-10 where we headed west towards El Paso. We turned around in Balmorhea and headed back home. First leg in...

    Need a little decision help from FJR owners...

    Look below and you'll see where I come from. I'm pretty much a speed freak. My dad was a racer and myself at times and I always loved the cafe style so wind has always been an after thought so tuck your head to stop the head buffeting. :D The Feejer takes care of the other side that needs a...

    Laughing at me

    What the heck is all that white stuff in the back ground???? :o Snow....what the heck is that?? man its been 102 degrees here for about a month and no rain. Looks like something we'd surf on down here except for too much of the "sudsing" and no face to ride. B) Hell my fan starts up when...

    Old Helmets

    back here in the boonies of Coastal Texas we take 'em out back and shoot the piss out of 'em till there's nothing left, then we plow the pieces under to fluff up the back 40 for next years crop. :D

    Cycle World August 09 article

    I rode three of the four, BMW, The 14, and the Yammi, to decide which one I'd buy. I loooveed the Beemer but the 20 grand[the way I wanted it] was too rich for me. I rode the Concourse in December when it was about 42 degrees, and although I was in looove with the power, the heat coming up...

    09 passenger backrest?

    [ Take a look at pirateslair.net Their backrest material matches the factory seats. I ordered mine on Monday, so I should be getting it anyday now. I received mine three weeks ago and I couldn't be more pleased, I really like it. One of the main reasons for the purchase was that it was...

    1st IronButt try

    On July 17th, myself and T-Bone,my riding bud on his BMW Rockster, will attempt to give it hell for the 1500SaddleSore and BunBurner. The plan is to leave at 5 in the morning and head up to I-10, and then west towards El Paso. At Balmorhea, we'll turn around and head back home. 1,060miles and...

    Anyone tried a Fieldsheer Iceberg Cooling Vest?

    I was gonna purchase the Miracool vest but the 22dollar shipping threw me off. My honey found one for 35dollars with FREE shipping so that one is on its way. The vest without the collar. At 100degrees here in Hungerford its like ridin' in a blast furnace even at 85mph on my Thrux. Here's a...

    New stable mate

    Thanx for the luv guys. The Trumpet has had a LOT of work done to her in the last 3 years[all wrenchin' by Moi] the only thing still stock is the cylinders, tranni and the tank. I've been on a quest to find someone here in the states to build me a more cafe style tank instead of the tear drop...

    New stable mate

    After a couple of months, I finally stopped riding long enough, to take a couple of pics of my l'il cafe'ed Triumph and her new stable mate, the Feejer. They are a handsome pair and now mama is so happy, cause she can cruise, that she stopped beatchin' at me. In all fairness the Thrux is a...

    More than one bike?

    My other bike,and most 'em before, is British Iron. My dad being a Brit and an Isle of Mann finisher [on a Bennelli 250 six banger] ruined me when he gave me my first ride at the tender age a four riding up on the tank of a '52 Royal Enfield Indian. I would get this bike four years later and...
