    Evening update - Durango has been invaded by Mini’s. Over 600. I may run into them on the road tomorrow. Hope not. But look out PNW forumites, they are headed your way by next weekend. Derailed Pour House was the dinner location. Good food and service. -Steve

    Day 7 -I’m taking it easier today. A 200 mile loop just east of 4 Corners. Been to 4 Corners when it was free, didnt want to pay $8 to eat the same dust again. Out of Durango on 550 to Aztec on the ‘Trail of the Ancients Scenic Byway’ to the Aztec Ruins National Monument in Aztec NM. (So thats...

    Not a big food **** fan, but I will try! Todays lunch was a southwest Cuban sandwich. Pork belly instead of roast pork, and not swiss, some other white cheese I am not sure of. -Steve

    Day 6 and Mother Nature tries a new trick. Left Moab this morning for Arches National Park. Lesson - you need to prebook entry and pay $2 to do so. Online or phone. One email address can book only one entry per day, so one person cannot book entry for additional people. Each person must install...

    Can only put 10 photos in one post, had to add this one. Forgot about the ‘Mormon crickets’ - saw a couple small waves creeping across the highway. -Steve

    Day 5 and the heat continues to cook me alive. But for today, its worth it. Left Ballard on, yes, 191, headed to Rangely CO. Via 40 and then 64, the Stegosaurus Freeway. Didnt see a single one. Rangely was the setup for CO-139, 72 miles of spectacular goodness to Loma CO. Terrible road surface...

    Day 4. A good day to ride an FJR. Out of the Lodge onto 191 south and onto Teton Park Road to Jenny Lake Visitor Center for a photo. Continue on the Park Road (four legged escort for part of the journey) and back onto 191, again south to Jackson for fuel. About 90 minutes to Pinedale for an...

    Day 3 starts with some sweet relief, its about 65F in Burley at 8 am. Back on I84, then I86 heading for Chubbuck. I15 to Idaho Falls, and finally, some two lane blacktop. ID26 to Swan Valley. Left behind in Idaho was the Potato Museum (of course) and Seagull Bay (isnt Idaho land locked?) At Swan...

    Day 2, and if cooked yesterday, baked today (& not in that good way). Temps were over 95F by 10am, and the day ended at 100F. But enough about the heat. Leaving Pendleton headed for Baker City, which is pretty much south on I84. Deadmans Pass over the Blue Mtns is first up, following the Oregon...

    Heading South

    Day 1 of a two week journey that has begun on the hottest day of the year, with more heat coming. Left White Rock, its 7 am and already 70F. Dont worry, it gets much worse. This first day is all Interstate, I5, I90, I84, I82. Crossing the border was a breeze, thank you NEXUS, the regular...

    TPMS Mounting

    Lots of RAM options once you have the ball on the back of the head unit. The simplest would be a short arm and reservoir mount. Getting the right viewing angle should be easy. You might end up spending more on mounting than on the device itself. If you go with the Velcro product, then you can...

    TPMS Mounting

    If tripod mount is 3/8-16, what about this ? Or this if 1/4- 20. If the head unit is light weight, which I suspect it is, what about titanium velcro ? -Steve

    Gen3 throttle cable lubing

    Not to say it isnt lube - Any work done to around top of engine recently? Make sure throttle cables (6,7 below) are routed properly. Thru the frame, @D, thru the guide @T. -Steve

    Metal valve stem source

    Ok, if you insist (Admin, maybe split this off?) Make your life much easier living with external TPMS sensors. I bought a set of thin metric wrenches and cut them in half to use with the sensor jam nut, particularly the pain-in-butt frt one. The battery powered inflator turns another painful...
