No. No ST's here so far.

Arrived at SEOR at 330pm. Lots of people arriving. My Hillbilly Hotdogs ride for Friday is filled. Riders are: 1. Longtime friend from the area Ron Vess 2. Tom Hadden, my roommate 3. Prestone 4 drc32-0 5. Gray Ray I also have several Modified Union bolts that are not spoken for. Norm Kern

You probably won't have any trouble keeping up. I run a pace through the twisties, but don't go flat out on the straights, so slower riders can more easily keep up. Routes avoid towns, traffic, traffic lights. We collect at turns, which is easier on roads with no traffic. There will likely be...

They won't melt, but maybe they are afraid they are water-soluble and will dissolve! +1 on not washing the bike, though I'll clean the bugs off the windshield. See, this is a low maintenance event. Another plus! Poll question: Does using an event hotel with an expensive cancellation policy help...

As of Wed morning, here's what the weather looks like IN Marietta. Thur: temp 64-82, chance of a heavy thunderstorm AFTER 5pm. partly cloudy before that. dew point 60-66. Looks like a good day to ride, but get settled by 5-6pm. Fri: temp 62-73. Overnight rain tapers off and quits completely by...

Yep, the Weather Weenies miss out on a lot of good riding over time. Last year I attended about a dozen MSTA rides/rallies, mostly 4 day weekends. About half of them had some rain predicted. There was only one day at one rally I didn't ride. (At Lewisburg, WV, end of Sept.) Last weekend went to...

This route is ALL on the WV side of the river. We start by crossing the I77 bridge to WV and the fun begins right away.. To those who ask about a GPX file, I will provide it to those who ride with me on Fri. I will have my netbook with me at the hotel Thur nite and at breakfast on Fri morn...

I plan to do a ride to Hillbilly Hotdogs on Friday. Route to Hillbilly Hotdogs via lots of roads that very few know or have ridden. Lots of variety, both fast stuff and technical stuff. All pavement- not any adventure or DS stuff. Kickstands up at 830. Takes about 3 hours to get there...

Prestone, I just received a large batch of union bolts. Will try to contact you when I'm ready to get some more... Norm Kern

Speedo on my '14 FJR reads between 1-2 over actual speed at around 80 mph. Speedos in my Ford Ranger & Nissan Maxima are 3-4 over at that speed. My experience is that vehicle speedos are usually a few mph optimistic to right on- never read slower than you are going. Radar detectors are much...

Am bringing some modified union bolts for those who want them. If you're interested, let me know so I can get an idea of how many to bring. Norm Kern https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/166564-fix-for-leaking-oil-filters/?hl=%2Bunion+%2Bbolt

It would be nice to have an idea of how many to bring. :-) Norm Kern

You could not have said it better. Gave away my '03 ST1300 w 121kmi in early '14 for $3500. It was in excellent condition. ST1300s are hard to sell, as their followers have been abandoned over the years. Switching to a '14 FJR ES was one of the best decisions I ever made. Will update (probably...

Harley Riders: Now that the Rabbit Hash store has burned down, where will they go? Jane's Saddlebag, of course... Only a few miles away from Rabbit Hash. Norm Kern

I think our ancient enemy the Maladroit has had his way with this bike. Wishing you the best of luck sorting it out! Norm Kern

And that's what we're going to do! Norm Kern

Hey Allen C, Whoever said the roads in SE OH suck either doesn't know what they are talking about or don't know which ones to ride. Have a good library of routes for the area, a Sena 20s, and don't mind leading a small group (5 or less) at a decent pace. Thinking of tossing my helmet in the...

If the tank was not full of gas, the deceleration of the impact pushed the fuel to the front of the tank, leaving all the air space available at the rear. Norm Kern
