This is a discussion from '08. May be some good info for you? https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30339

Thanks for this. It's a pity there aren't more like you. My sons are 26 and 30 now, but they still remember family camping trips we made in our old, rusty, POS Econoline van. After my night-shifts, they would take turns to ride to school on the back of my bike - possibly why neither of them...

Hmmm.... never tried fitting it level, I've always gone with Laminar's recommended 1" above. Maybe I'll try that - maybe not. Al.

Not sure if this will help? First, my '04 runs as close to perfect as I can expect. Cold starts at 2000rpm then drops to rock-solid 1100 idle. Blanking off the PAIR system shortly after acquiring the bike cured a popping in the aftermarket cans on deceleration. Back in July I rode to Montana...

I knew I'd seen it somewhere recently! Thanks.

Haven't seen this one posted here + Google search of site didn't find it, so here goes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxy4n0UT82o&feature=player_embedded A clever ad, but when did FWD Civics learn to do donuts?

That's cool! - get it? At first I thought it was a fart filter.

Thanks Dave, very touching! Good thing I'm not a sentimental person. Damn, those Walla Walla onions are strong - still making me tear up!! Al.

@ Okie. Not sure what you have found so far? I have the same bike as you. After reading the horror stories on Gen 1 CCT failures, I replaced mine with the 'blue dot' upgraded one this spring. Excellent instructions here for replacement or just checking...

Here are the pics I took at the show as a PhotoBucket slide show. No particular order. https://s64.photobucket.com/user/kamloopsal/slideshow/Tacoma%20vintage%20bike%20show%202013 Sorry, I am strictly a 'point and shoot' photographer. Love the color of the Flyin' Merkel - wonder what it would...

Well, I made it home. Hwy 20 was in excellent shape, no mud, a few small rocks and light traffic. The only holdup was from the center line painting truck, we weren't allowed to pass him as the paint was wet. For a time, I was riding with my head in the clouds - well almost! But no sign of...

Thanks for that. A quick breakfast and I'm outa here. Keen to try out new RAM attached GoPro mount. Al.

Thanks guys! I have all day so I won't be pushing it.

Actually, after attending the vintage bike show this weekend, I'm now leaning towards this: https://bc.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-touring-SIDECAR-BIKE-TRADE-for-DOMINGO-SAMBAR-VW-STYLE-W0QQAdIdZ505218837 Must be hormonal Al.

As Hwy 20 (North Cascade Hwy) is on my 'to do' list, I thought I'd go home that way tomorrow. Don't appear to be any closures etc, just some minor drainage work. Anybody used it recently? Any tips? Thanks. Al.

This was an excellent show. Thanks for the 'heads up' Dave, nice to see you and Marcus again + the other guys (I should carry a pencil and paper for names ). I took a gazillion pictures, will have to post up as a ride report. What made the whole trip special for me was meeting a Rumi 125 I...

Sounds like you've been busy! You didn't make it to Kamloops - I had to cancel the brass band. And, it sounds like we crossed paths in the air. As you flew to the UK I was returning from my mum's 92nd. I'm in your neck-of-the-woods as we speak. Came down for the Tacoma vintage bike show...

Michalis, those are excellent! Beautiful scenery, much nicer than the typical Greek pictures we see. You must let your girlfriend take some of you one day. Nice bike, looks like mine - but a lot cleaner! Al.

Don't know of any Sydney. But there is a toll on the new Port Mann Bridge on Hwy 1 heading north. It's only a buck fifty for bikes. https://www.treo.ca/tolls-and-fees/ I'm guessing you can pay at a toll booth? You could always follow 99 north from the border, avoiding Hwy 1 - hope you have a...

Booked into the Travelodge, 3518 Pacific Hwy East, Fri thru Mon. Maybe see ya'll at the show? Al.
