    Riding with Replacement Parts

    You Dads Know Just How I Feel: My Girl Turns 25 Today

    I was thinking that this ties to his thread on wearing the appropriate riding gear.

    The Alaska Slo-Mo Photo Tour.

    Brad... Your equipment lists were pretty comprehensive. Was there anything you missed and were there things you took that you would leave behind the next time.... Great Pics. If you have any left over bear repellent, it might be useful the next time you see Beemerdon!

    Tuscany by Scooter in 2014 with Edelweiss, Couples Tour.

    Don... You know that is not you riding sweep and filming. Having ridden BMW's most of your life, you couldn't handle the speed that would be necessary to keep up. Additionally you will be riding two up and I doubt that you have the technical ability to make those sharp turns. I was told by...

    Removing Front Wheel without scratching the rim w/calipers

    If you put a few layers of duct or blue painters tape on the rim, you won't scratch anything. Wipe the rim off with a little alcohol or brake cleaner and the tape will stick like magic. You only need to put the tape where the caliper will hit. Works every time.

    Trip to Eastern Europe

    Great Pictures....I'll bet you are looking forward to getting off the back roads and onto the Autobahn to get the RPM's up on the FJR. Beautiful countryside.... You looked pretty tired in a couple of those pictures.
