    Hill Country Time!

    March and April are really nice months for HC rides, but for me and maybe others in La Grange, Bryan, even Houston area, they are weather driven as they are best when a two or three day event. Being retard--, I mean retired, I'd just soon take advantage of a good weather window in mid-week as...

    Ride the Rio 2006

    Thinking seriously about doing your route, Kerrville etc., instead of long ride Friday arriving worn out at Terlingua. Where you guys staying in Kerrville? Sounds like a more civilized plan to me...Tom (aka T'sipper)

    05 ticker - repaired and home

    Got my '04 back from Kerrville dealer yesterday, rode it down to Bandera etc. before hauling it back from Kerrville. Bike runs fine, sounds like she did out of the box, and overall I'm pretty impressed with the dealer's work and professionalism in fixin' my ticker- plus within 30 inutes of...

    05 ticker - repaired and home

    OST in Bandera-Breakfast 12/10 @ 9a?

    Sounds good, if I have my bike back by then. I'll try to get our newest (and only other La Grange Feejer) fast Larry Kay to make the ride on his new "05 even if I can't show up.. Tom

    OST in Bandera-Breakfast 11/19 @ 9a

    I would like to meet up with you guys at OST Sat. morning; ride, then leave my bike at Cycle Destinations there in K'ville for tick work... but then the big problem is getting back to La Grange, K'ville bus lines won't work (takes 72 hours!). Know it's impossible timing (can haul over on...

    It's A Ticking!

    just starting "the tick" at 19,300 ('04). I've run Amsoil since 4k change. Have those who have had the fix had the dealer run Yam 20-40 after the repair to seat head part changes? Or did they let you specify (supply) syn for the refill? T'sipper

    What was Yamaha's Touring Bike before the FJR

    Think Yamaha's original sport tourer was a '82 750 Seca II- touring. Had one- detachable hardbags, trunk, nice fairing, all color keyed, silver grey color. Really nice bike, but dealers had a hard time giving them away back in the day.. T'sipper

    Limetree Inn, Mena, AR- rates

    Make sure you come to an understanding with Limetree Inn on additional charge in November if you use them. They mention October and other special events on their website. Apparently a weekday in November, 11/3, was a "special event", because they charged us $11 more than the illustrated rate...

    Windshield now non-auto retract

    My windshiel on my '04, 18k miles, has works fine , but has stopped auto- retracting when ignition is turned off. Always wanted it that way- electronically challanged, so never disconnected it. Should I worry? No warning codes- everything else seems normal. Has anyone else experienced this...
