    A Solemn Anniversary

    Came back to visit the ol' forum and Wow, another year. Still no words, but I think he'd be proud of what you've done for others in his memory. Bob

    Moving to the East Coast (job offer) Need info

    We don't needs no more Texicans tellin' us about where they're FROM so just stay there. What? You prefer "Welcome to the neighborhood?" :P Seriously, you are moving into a nice area with a LOT of features and benefits that do come with higher expenses. You can ride most of the year, with a...

    Garmin Zumo 450/550 vs. Zumo 66X

    I'm with Yamafitter on liking the Montana 600. I absolutely never use GPS audio directions and get my music elsewhere, which to me were the draws for the Zumos. Meanwhile, the Montana was intentionally made to be a chameleon to be able to go from motorcycle use to hiking, kayaking, sailing...

    Shoei Neotec work with Sena SMH10?

    Used the very dull blunt side of a butter knife to press the wires between the liner and rubber edging.

    FJR in an F150

    Looking great RedTail and the consideration you and your wife have for each other is fantastic. As for the loading, you sure have it pretty well covered. I load with one more strap to keep the rear of the bike from bouncing/sliding side to side. It goes from one of the trucks rear corners...

    Hoverbike!

    When life expectancy is that directly related to reliability of the motor and everything else he made at home? <_< Pass

    Here's an interesting Yamaha concept bike

    I don't agree. People are getting tired of commuting and the cores of our bigger cities are undergoing renewal on a big scale. While suburban prices are still dropping, inner DC is not the dangerous pit it was 10 years ago, and row houses are appreciating in Baltimore's Federal Hill. I see the...

    Zombie-Killing girlfriends are AWESOME!

    Mine won't touch a weapon, so good on you! Surprised to see that nobody's mentioned out that she's got enough hair for the both of you. :P

    Top 10 Reasons *some* Men Prefer Guns Over Women

    Speaking of blow jobs, my ex likes to repeat this story: A well dressed widow, standing next to a top of the line Cadillac, was talking to the pile of ash in her hand. Saying: Earle, you remember that vacation to the islands I always wanted? Well now that you're dead, I took it. And you...

    There's Valentino Rossi: Capirossi: Back in time, there was Agostini: And of course now there is Shettino!

    What Bike for a 16 year old

    Did the same with my son 4 years ago when he was 17, he's lived with bikes on campus, and we're now planning a post-college graduation ride to Alaska. Since your son is not riding/driving yet, I'll suggest a different approach while you can. Instead of buying a bike at this point, buy a set of...

    As a Ravens fan, all I can say is: AAAArrrrggghhhh - Billy how could you??? :(

    Costco Kawasakis

    Big stores discounting motorcycles looks like a totally new phenom. What will they think of next? Maybe something like this 1960 Sears Allstate! Of course, for those wanting a dual-sport adventure bike, there's the 1965 model: Fred & SAAB - Who woulda guessed? :rolleyes:

    Need Advice...

    Keep it short and REALLY gentle, especially if she's short enough to not see past you. btw - freeway on the back is reeeaaaally boring. Her biggest concern is going to be "how do I keep from making him crash?" so talk up front about being still or holding you to lean with you. The FJR is not...

    MSF

    A lot of motor officers do semi-private classes on the side or will know another officer who does. Just have to ask a couple who they'd recommend.

    Rider Mag GSA and Tenere

    The First Edition Tennies were sold in Australia and South Africa nearly 2 years ago, then Yamaha made changes before bringing them into the US. How much more proven are you waiting for?

    Triumph Explorer.......

    My experience with Triumph is that it comes down to how well an individual local dealer stocks parts and is willing to care for his customer. I got too familiar with the UPS delivery guy for our area. As long as the customers are willing to come in more often and pay more than for a Jap bike...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    Just an update on using the bike as a long distance mount. With the big windshield and seat mod the S-Ten is an absolute mile muncher. Did 1100+ miles yesterday and am not sore anywhere today. VERY comfortable. The duffel has the tent, ground pad, and sleeping bag. The side bags areNelson...
