    John 8:1-11 God has forgiven me, I'll leave it to him to determine Mr. Vick's fate.

    Unbelievable Breaking News from Skootsdale, Arizona

    So we know the GO-AZ job is just a cover, right? ;)

    Natchez Trace Parkway

    Concur with the comments above... it's a nice bucolic road through some lush greenery, but there's a good bit of LEO presence, and the curves aren't anything to write home about. If you're not in a rush, and it's going your direction, it's a fun road... but it won't change your motorcycling life.

    Unbelievable Breaking News from Skootsdale, Arizona

    So Scoot finally scored that job washing the banana slings after the nightly "La Bare" shows? Sweet...

    Dyna Beads

    So if you get a tire puncture, do all the beads shoot out the opening? If you patch it with sticky strings, do the beads stick to the string shoved inside the tire?

    Don't buy a Zumo 550 or 660 anymore

    +1... my modus operandi exactly. My 2820 was a fraction of the original cost, and should last me for quite some time.

    Dad and Daughter Rides - a positive post for RJ

    Me and my youngest prior to a ride a few years ago... just after she was tall enough to put her feet on the rear pegs.

    Tire Group Buy research...

    I'd be interested in pricing for Storms... I think that's where I'm headed when I swap out my current PR2s.

    OMFG, major pucker incident

    I was on the return leg of a trip, coming back from Arkansas with 2 other bikes, both of which were 2 up. We got to an exit ramp somewhere in East Texas when I noticed the STRONG smell of oil, and noticed the entire ramp was slick. I was able to maneuver all the way to the right curb and avoid...

    Utah1088 Fuel Cell Overflow 'Catch'

    Were you planning on crash testing the mount for the bottle before, during, or after the rally? Maybe some combination of the three? Call and let me know if you need me to hit the hardware store for some windshield screws...

    Ophir Trail / Ophir Pass, southwest CO

    Believe me when I say this in all sincerity, there is no way in hell you should take an FJR over Ophir pass. If you put a gun to my head, and told me I'd have to take one of my children over that pass on the bike... I'd take the bullet. How do I know this? Because I was stupid enough to do it...

    Haven't been on the bike much lately...

    My guess is that if I applied my normal workday hourly rate to a job like this, only the Saudi Royal family could afford them... :blink:

    Haven't been on the bike much lately...

    "Here is a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry, Be Happy In every life we have some trouble When you worry you make it double Don't worry, Be Happy......" ;) Oddly enough, my parents had one of those singing fish hanging on their lakehouse wall a few...

    An amazing accomplishment! It warms my heart to know it was done on an '05... think I'll go hoist one in John's honor!
