    Reaper Passes

    I met John at the EOM meet in Johnson City, 2009. We've been friends ever since. Our kinda guy: Loved the USA (but not the Gov't), motorcycles, road trips, guns, women, and beer. My kinda guy. I will miss him for a long time.

    SFO; On the road

    Ride safe. I know you've done this trip a "few" times. Look for rain in the Great Plains, but warmer. Phil

    Single Best Farkle Ever - what have you added that you rate as #1?

    Audiovox cruise control. If you wanna run 600 miles or more in a day, it is a hand/wrist/brain saver.

    engine oil

    I have found that BelRay MC2 makes my FJR as fast off the line as a big-bore 2-stroke. Don't smoke like that old bean oil, neither.

    Lowering links

    Sounds like a great idea, provided they don't slip under extreme load of acceleration or cornering. Keep us informed as to performance with more miles.

    Big Bend Trip Planning - Your Suggestions Please

    A few miles NW of Fort Davis, you can take a tour of the MacDonald Observatory. It has been updated and added onto, in recent years. If you enjoy astronomy, it is a great tour, and as I recall it is free. The ride up there is winding mountain paved road.

    Big Bend Trip Planning - Your Suggestions Please

    I ride down to Big Bend almost every year. Lots of back roads for a trail bike, but it must be street legal. Next month I'll go on the FJR, and camp in the Basin. You need a reservation for campsites until middle of April, as early Spring is a busy time in that neck of the woods. Right now...

    FJR Top Speed

    On the way to NAFO from Northern Cal. in '08, I stopped in at Bonneville, removed all the bags and made 3 runs across the salt. There was almost no wind that day, so direction had no effect. Speedo indicated just a hair under 155, though I don't have any idea the real speed. I do know that...
