    2013 Iron Butt start location ?

    I assume that you mean as a spectator, since the starting grid is full.

    2013 Yamaha Street Motorcycle Overview

    Also don't forget that this was how they introduced the Gen2. If interested in buying an FJR, I'd wait. And that white Super Tenere is calling my name ....

    Glad to see everybody and MikeBear was the longest distance on his black Super Tenere, coming from Long Island. The final count was 6 FJRs, 6 Super Teneres, and 1 BMW. Thanks to all!

    Looking forward to meeting new folks & weather should be great. Just watch the severe storms between 4-8pm tonight! Look at a topo map to find great roads.

    The brown pipe mystery

    The pipes can get red hot when under throttle, especially with diminished cooling conditions. The surface of the pipes chemically reacts with the heat to oils and other contaminates in the air or rain spray. That's why fingerprints get so ugly. Polish mechanically removes the top surface layer...

    Washington, DC

    Welcome to the neighborhood! Since Marion Barry left office, the last couple of mayors and especially police chiefs have totally remade this city. After years of avoidance, this is a thriving place, people are moving into DC, and property values are going up.

    I'll call them. After all, the Super Teneres are going to SO outnumber the FJRs. :P

    EOM '12 from New England

    I'm in Rockville, MD (zip code 20850) with a futon and floor space if somebody needs a place to sleep for a night. It's a bit over 8 saddle hours to EOM from here, so about half-way for the New Englanders.

    just replaced my rf 1000 for the qwest

    We have Qwests, in addition to the old RFs, a Shark, etc. The Qwest has a bit less venting for heat and is much more comfy, as others wrote. What I'll add is that in sealing up tighter, it also fogs faster in rain. All in all, it's a winner and we'll keep ours.

    What does your bike cost?

    I actually come up with a bit more. But to put it all in perspective and fend off the SO, do the same math for a car or - gasp - pickup. No wonder scooters are the #1 selling form of transport.

    Garmin Montana 650, alternative to Zumo?

    I've had the 600 on the Super Tenere through the summer and if there were an alternative I'd drop the thing like a hot potato. The upsides are the screen in sunlight, screen size, and the weatherproof, AMP mount availability. The screen is MUCH easier to see in sunlight than my work Oregon and...

    Happy Birthday Bust! Hope the back is doing better, so Mz can give you the spankin' you deserve. Meanwhile, we couldn't figure out how to wrap your presents, so got creative...

    Who rides a Super Tenere

    Forgot to add that for all those who have been polluted to thinking adventure bikes need a beak, there is one available for the Tenere. Most owners have a pretty negative view of spending the cash. Especially to look like a lowly Beemer. [j/k] Seriously, the reason the bike looks like...
