I hope he turns out to be ok. On my only LD ride so far (from SanFran area to Couer D'Alene, ID), I had fears of something like this happening to me. If you see updates on the other board, please pass them back.

I still can't believe the thread: SICK of this bike!! but, I don't think anybody should be calling it a dog pile...it happened on a Tuesday. I do hope it opens up again on Friday, so that a dog pile can be added to the cow pie. Mike (who spent summers on the grandparents' farms growing up)

I've got an E52 on my 08A. It hauls the laptop to work and back home, holds the helmet in between. The fact that it holds two helmets is nice when I go on day-rides with my daughter. We can stop for lunch and not have to haul the helmets in. I keep the right side-bag full with the rain gear...

I went with the Etymotic Research hf2 because it's also a cell phone headset when in the cage. Before this, I was using some 29db work plugs from the local hardware store. I thought they were great. Then the hf2's arrived, and they were about the same, but the music was harder to hear than I...

All I can say is "wow." (Notice that I put the period inside the double-quotes, as per the style guide.) 9k miles, dropped twice because of stalls...that really does sound like a lemon of a bike. Too bad you're not in Ca, we have lemon laws here for things like that. Looking at your past...

How did you buy a '07 FJR in 2004??? I hope it was a 1907 FJR! (It's still Friday, right?)

That kinda sounds like the MEM relay is wired backwards. When the high-beams engage, the MEM relay is supposed to open, not close. When Glenn installed it on mine, there was double-checking to make sure it was wired that way. When the high-beams are engaged, the dimmer is removed from the...

I've had my cycleport jacket for just about a year, and can't see any fading at all. It gets worn every day to work and back (about 30 minutes ride time) so gets some sun. It's the black ultra II with hi-vis hilites (sleeve gussets and lower front pockets are hi-vis). It's not showing any...

So, what's the countdown timer down to? 4 hours? 2 days? Hmm...

Thanks guys. I very nearly spilled my drink after reading the 'only ride in circles' comment, and now doing the figure 8's did make me spill. Alcohol abuse is never a good thing!

You're right, I missed the Gold version when I had looked previously. Since my mileage of 1050 is coming from Google Maps, I presume that means my 4% off odometer will show in the neighborhood of 1090 miles. I got the shipping notice from CyclePort this afternoon, my new kevlar pants should be...

Congratulations! I'm about to start my own SS1k on Wednesday! The stock seat was "less than comfortable" eh? I thought I read that the BB1500 gave you 36 hours though, not 24 as someone said. Doesn't matter to me this time, my destination is only 1050 miles away.

I have a Cycleport Ultra II Air Mesh Kevlar jacket, with matching pants arriving day after tomorrow or so, I added a Givi E52 topcase with brake lights, the reflective tape on the side bags (which I keep on all the time), and I just added some extra light strips from Admore Lighting to them...

You pee in the tank, so that it'll flush, right?

I installed a Second Look half tank-skin a few weeks ago (from the group buy). I'm really liking it, it completely covers all the vulnerable areas of the tank. Mike

Damn, nice report, nice pics, sounds like nice ride, and nice company. Congrats! And good luck tomorrow with the 250!

It's now Friday. This thread should be fun today!

While I did like that avatar a LOT too...and am hoping that he's at least as much of old fart as I am, so that I don't have to feel like a ********* looking at his kid... This thread kinda pisses me off. Just 10 or 15 mins ago, I was two threads higher on the list of new posts, and added this...

You mean WFO had mouse farts? And nobody heard them? How do you know they actually happened then?

(Site seems to nearly stop at 12:49am for about 3 minutes...killing a double post.)
