Well, this one looks kind of ... pastie! (Seems even its maker can't come to touch it bare-handed) Are some better than others?

If I behave myself at the wedding, Sunday could work, otherwise Monday sometime. :) Didn't think to bring my passport, but the UP sounds enticing, especially after the South! ;) Cheers!

Columbian, OH, with cousins. Not too far from Zelienople. As Tom mentioned, most of my "fun touring" will have to wait until after the wedding. This leg is just to get there. :-) Staying over a day here in Houston with relatives, and leave in the morning for the jaunt to Ohio.

Leaving Houston area tomorrow (Wednesday) for northeastern Ohio. This is a "get from here to there" mission to arrive Thursday, and'll need to overnight after a 600/700 mile leg, so the super slab it is, mostly (but had a wonderful time riding county roads through the Texas hill country...

This actually looks pretty interesting. I was looking for an alternative to my other choice! Now that's a thought! We'll have to discuss this while I'm out there... https://www.ssbadger.com/ Another interesting possibility. And the rates are reasonable, as well. Thanks for all of your...

I'm planning on heading from Ohio to the Twin Cities a couple of weeks from now, and was looking for routing suggestions from those who know the Chicago area. Probably slabing west on I-80, then I-90 north. Looking for a route that best avoids traffic congestion, bypassing Chicago this time...

Nah! It makes him a better target.

I had the OEM FZ1 mirrors on my Gen1 and would not go long without them on my Gen3. Get them, and they are alwas black. Ordered these last month: https://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/outboard/Y-5LV-26280-00-00.html https://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/outboard/Y-5LV-26290-00-00.html

It's a wonder that we've each survived the misadventures of our lives. But that survival is due, at least in part, to the choices we make. Glad you are able to tell us about this. And the heat transfer marks on your knees look just like the one on I had on my shoulder after crashing in the...

I'm very sorry to hear of unplanned get off, FB. Too many of us here have had a first-hand perspective of such experiences. And perhaps the best step to an effective recovery is to remember to keep your sense of humor, while trying not to laugh. Mesh-style gear is not, in itself, a poor design...

True, they certainly won't turn on until installed. But what I was referring to was that all batteries have an inherent self-discharge rate, however small, even when they're disconnected. And although a newly manufactured battery will have a given design capacity, I would expect it to have a...

Hey, all of the cool kids are getting them!

Great price on a wonderful unit. I'm just now installing a "new" SmarTire system on my FJR, and time will tell the remaining battery life on these "new" sensors. Frickin' Bendix!

Ah! It's been too many years for me to remember all of the details. You are correct on both counts. Here are the instructions for the Kreem kit: https://www.kreem.com/Downloads/Kreem_Info_Files.pdf My tank prep included lots of soap and water and tumbling the tank with some old half-inch...

I faced the same problem on one of my commuting bikes that lele describes. Bought new, after two years I found one morning that all of the fuel had leaked out all over the engine. Up till that time I was unaware that the bike had a self-draining fuel tank feature. Duct taped over the new holes...

I've watched these pages with a bit of envy these past months, knowing that I have a must-attend family wedding in Pennsylvania that weekend. This rally is shaping up to likely be the big FJR event of the year! My consolation is that I get to take a couple of weeks off to ride cross-country to...

I concur! It passes a bunch more air in the down position, and noticeably reduces turbulence in all positions. This farkle is a keeper. Looking forward to eventually seeing a more elegant spacer, but as Fred said, no hurry... Thanks, Fred!
