Sounds like a great ride. The Big Bend country is like a world of its own. And March-May is the best time to ride it.

Don't. :huh:

May I just touch my tongue to the fairing, like it was a nipple or something?

I've been using Leo's mounts since November '07. They connect Kuryakyn (large) ISO folding pegs to my aluminum sliders, which are about the same diameter. I didn't think to use Loctite on the threads of the small allen screws which hold the mounts to the sliders. So when I got to work 2 weeks...

I also ride a Gen. II, and get near 50. Even pushing it hard on the freeway (80-100), it will get 42 mpg, at least in warm weather. Cagers are blown away when I tell them.

mattster, do you remember who the seller was?

I've put more miles on mine now, than I did on the originals. The touring saddle is definitely more firm. It does not allow your carcass to settle down in it, as the factory seat does. Your butt and fun-parts stay on top of the saddle. The intial feeling is that the new seat is hard. But on...

I must agree that 27,000 people confirmed dead is not a lame issue. It is most interesting that in this type of catastrophe, those individuals who are out in the open . . . . away from man-made structures . . . . are relatively safe, unlike tornadoes, hurricanes, and cyclones.

There's lots to pick from. The Yamaha touring saddle is a gel seat, and is more supportive than the stocker. Then there's Corbin, which is not well received by most FJR people on this forum. That leaves Sargent, the Mayer brothers, and top-of-the-line Russell, to name a few. Just hit the...

Hey, I represent that remark, Jeff. I was born Summer of '42!

I worked for a man in Houston for 2 years, who was a co-pilot flying "the Hump", in the bombing of Berlin. He would not discuss the experience, nor was he willing to fly again under any circumstance. On any other subject, he was always a jokester. He also rode a Yamaha motorcycle at very high...

F---ed up tire pressure gauge? Neighbor's kid messing with you?

No mention of a struggle, so apparently the wench didn't put up much of a fight.

Thanks for the linky, Groo. I had not seen it, and it tells a more complete story.

My sincere condolences to family and frends. Phil

Another trick is to wear boots or shoes with strong, stiff soles. I found that I can stand beside the bike, and put ALL my weight on the centerstand tab with my right foot. It will stay balanced until you pull it up on the stand.

Yeah, like the Doc said, did you make that **** up? If so, you need to start writing for a living. It's great!

Very enjoyable rundown, Joker. Glad you guys didn't get into any bad scrapes or jailhouses. Phil

Congratulations, Guys, and welcome home (safe and sound). Phil
