Dallara, You do realize I was kidding right? I know I've benefitted from ABS twice in the 50 thou I've put on the LT. Once at the end of an 800 mile day (two up loaded w/trailer), and once on a rainy early morning in Duluth. Who can say what would have happened without it, I know what happened...

So Dallara, you're saying you don't like the ABS on your FJR? :dntknw:

Everybody done measuring dicks now? :argue: It's been along time since I've had any use for that E=I/r stuff, but doesn't the 20% reduction in stator resistance have everything to do with the 20% increase in output? :dntknw: Surely there's a sparky type here who could straighten me out.

The new FJR arrived Tuesday, but I was stuck in High Maturity CMMI training for three days. If you know what that is, you know it was even more painful with a new bike at home waiting for me. Mrs. Hoog and I finally took her out for a couple hundred miles yesterday, and here's what I think...

OK, let's recap We've got waiters, and waiter baiters. We've got waiter whiners, waiter baiter whiners, and waiter baiters baiting waiter baiter whiners. We've got waiter whiners whining about waiter baiters whining about waiter whiners. And we've got Tony, maintaining some sense of...

Me thinks it tis you who should be sharing. Sure a computer could operate the tranny as well as the clutch. Wide open upshifts and closed throttle downshifts would be no problem. Cruising speed shifts are very doable too, IMO. Look for this on the next LT or Wing. But where in the powerband...

Yes :D

Is it possible? Absolutely. Preferable? Not for me. There are occasions you're going to let the torque of the motor pull you along. I wouldn't want the "tranny brain" deciding to toss it down a couple gears in traffic, in a wet corner, etc. etc. When does it decide you're trailing the...

Bike Week is firing up around here, and the local news did an interview with Bruce Rossmeyer (dude owns about a dozen HD dealerships including this palace). He said, and I quote: "When people ask me how the motorcycle business is, I say, Who gives a damn? The t-shirt business is great!" I just...

I was wondering if this thread was going to get back to food. I agree there is nothing like a home cooked meal (my thing is the hot wing), but when your 1500 miles from the house it sure is nice to find a good meal. I thought some of you would have a couple to share.....

While on the road, Mrs. Hoog and I like to try the little Mom 'n Pop places for breakfast. Perkins will do in a pinch, but truckstops aren't out of the question. You never know what it'll be like, but so far we haven't been disappointed too often. Here's a couple that come to mind: 1) Theresa's...

Here ya go Gleno. Sorry we're all outta sprouts. :bleh:

Hello, my name is Hoog, and I am a waiter. Hello Hoog I don't really remember when I came to the realization that I had a problem, but it now seems as if it has consumed me for a lifetime. I feel it from the time I wake up until I lay down my head at night. The feeling is always there...
