    FJR vs Connie C10

    I had that same year XS1000, 'sept sold mine to a guy who promptly crashed it at the drag races. I don't recall an off-idle lurch, but perhaps it's just been too long ago now.

    Flying in Friday evening, leaving Sunday afternoon. Booked at the BW in Apache Junction. Okay, Okay. Is it tacky to wear a "Business Formal" Hawaiian shirt to a funeral? What would Don wear?

    Please post your photos/stories of Beemerdons here

    I have so many fewer pictures of Don than I have fond memories of him. And in my experience somehow it always seems to always end up that way. He was an inspiration in how he dealt with others and in is love for Seth. I'm gonna miss this guy... September 27, 2008: At Timmy's Memorial Ride...

    see whats behind you, 180* rearview mirror

    Wonder how well it works on an electrically adjustable windshield. Would it need to be adjusted each time you moved the windshield to a new position?

    Uncle Bill

    Some people stand out from the crowd and hold our attention, and against them others just don't always shine as brightly for us. But you seem to be glowing as you tell us of him, Dave, no doubt a result of that brightness that held your attention for so long. May many fond memories, whether...

    see whats behind you, 180* rearview mirror

    From the FAQ: Will I be dazzled by the sun and night traffic using RiderScan? Looking at the site's video, the first part of the answer may be accurate, but the night riding claim isn't at all obvious to me.

    Security? Meal stop, bathroom break, or overnight motel stay, I follow "the protocol". Detach safety lanyard from GPS, remove it from the mount, place it in the small tank bag, and then take my "man purse" in with me. There's nothing left on the bike that can casually walk off. Whenever I...

    Buy the bike. Get it painted any color you want!

    2015 Windshield Upgrade

    I think for a more accurate comparison for a given windshield, you really need to give your height and inseam length, so we can get an idea of how high you sit in the saddle. A windshield that might work for a 6 footer with a 33 inch inseam might not work so well for a 6 footer with a 30 inch...

    Latest MCN review

    Yeah, I saw that too. I put in the category of stuff below the noise level and not worth bothering to notify them about.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Here you go. You likely could use the blood sugar fix. Enjoy! HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ALL!

    I have that particular model and have been using TomTom Riders for the past 10 years. Pairs fine with Sena. Likely they are selling off current stock for cheap to make way for the newer model...

    MSR Fuel Bottle. FAIL!

    This is completely understandable, Mike, and to be expected once past your prime. The old grip strength in the hands isn't what it used to be and eventually you're bound to run into the problems you describe here.
