So I'm on the bike for work in East Massachusetts, so I'm heading off to the Catskills today to maybe get some fly casting lessons. If anyone has a recommendation on instructors please let me know. Nik

Lately I've been looking at something like this , the Cabela's Stowaway 6 piece, 8'6", 5 wt. Linked is the low end reel option Prestige Plus. It looks like they have Prestige Premier and RLS version too. Cost range is ! $220 - $275.

Wow that is a big bag on the back seat, scary big! Nice catch though! I'm definitely after the minimalist setup-up; as I plan to carry it on both my motorcycle and bicycle touring. Thanks for sharing.

Pacsafe is pretty cool looking! I think I would want to see one in action. Looks like a rats nest to unpack. I generally just use a cable lock through pants, jacket, and helmets. Boots are a bit at risk unless you want to have someone punch a grommet hole through your leather. Nick

@ Fly Bye & juniorfjr, thanks for the encouraging words; nice to get this off to a humorous start! I guess when I think about fly fishing while two-wheel touring, I'm restricting myself to water that I could wade into in sandals and shorts. So is that maybe warm water fly fishing? Obviously...

So, I'm thinking about adding fly fishing to my motorcycle touring; but don't know squat about it. Why fly fishing, well because that seems more active than casting and watching a bobber. Not knowing what I might need, and wanting to pack it all on the FJR or my bicycle (yes I tour on that...

@Gmann, Wow, I lost track of this post, guess I didn't have my notifications set right. Yeah your right, years ago when doing my brakes the threads disintegrated while removing the caliper bolt. I've got a heli coil in mine now. I'm trying to get a spare on hand before I touch the rear brakes...

All, I'm looking to pick up a generation II rear brake caliper carrier in decent shape with stock threading for the slide pins. Nik

I've been thinking I need to do more motorcycle camping. I could be in.

I don't know if they really count as "scenic views" but The Shoe House, Zippo Case Visitor Center, and Flight 93 attract many riders. More scenic would be Falling Waters and Ohiopyle.

I owe someone a big THANK YOU for this little bit of trail magic!! Filled this sucker up on Noon Day IPA and drained it on Mt. Mitchell! Thanks again.

Bike is loaded and parked outside of my office. Planning an afternoon with two options: If I can get out early I'm pointing toward Warm Springs, VA for a camping night. If I get out late, I'll slab it to Buchanan VA.

Thanks all, I've got it the EOM500; might try to hit some of that on the way in Thur. @John d, I stumbled on that "import from website" Tyre feature after posting my question. I didn't realize Tyre did that it is a really cool feature!

Am I missing a link? The EOM500 route isn't download-able but the other six routes are.

EOM Noob question: How are the group rides arranged? I enjoy running at a spirited pace through the twisty bits, not drag racing the straights, and have NO pride about better riders getting down the road ahead of me. Nikk

I'm with Geezer on this one.

Thanks all, I'll encourage him to register.

So, an FZ1 riding buddy of mine is considering joining me for the ride to EOM and perhaps hanging out Thur.-evening, Fri.-day, and leaving Sat.-AM. Is rally attendance open to non-FJR riders? Clearly registration would be require for the banquet, if it is open to non-FJR'ers? Is registration...

New tires mounted today, new front brake pads on order; getting ready forEOM!
