    Low mileage trade-in? A record perhaps !

    The cruise is a must-have for me. Sure, it's great when winding along the interstate for 8 hours like you do, Pathfinder. But it also comes in handy when you need to use your right hand for something.

    Thank you, DesignFlaw06!

    Damn! That thing should also keep your bubble gum cigars from getting brittle! <seriously> Great job!

    Split: Off-topic about Bridgestone Rebates

    Like puppychow said, 2 fronts at $25 rebate each = $50 rebate. That's pretty good. Ask yourself if that extra $10 is worth a phone call to 1-800-Bridgestone (<-- made up number), because if your claim is rejected, it may take you a very long time to get things straightened out, if ever.

    Bridgestone T31 GT or T31 non-GT

    I think the 'GT' label is for heavier bikes ... although I'll admit that a light gal on a heavy bike is about the same total weight as a meaty guy on a little bike. I've always run GTs because, well, because the manufacturers recommend that. If my widow is ever going to collect from a tire...

    Thank you, DesignFlaw06!

    Some of you may know that my topbox has an “organizer” in it. I've enclosed the term in quotation marks because it’s a really homemade thing, created out of cut-up SlimJim boxes and duct tape. It holds wallet, house keys, pens, aspirin and ibuprofen, miniature LED flashlight, air pressure...

    2006 died on freeway on way home from trip

    I'll also recommend AMA Roadside Assistance. They towed my Subaru Outback to a shop late one Sunday night. That would be the American MOTORCYCLIST Association, not that other AMA bunch of wahoos.

    The Hog Phenomenon

    So ... why stop? Note to anyone who may post anywhere on the internet at any time in the future: Expect a response from those who think differently. . . . . Hopefully, I don't have to tell my therapist that I agree with Bust.

    Pathfinder's 100,000 (Cert.) Miles in 1 Year Attempt

    Man! Does that sound like the beginning of a horror movie, or what?

    Tactical Vehicle Repellent

    Thanks, mcatrophy, I'll make sure that gets into a future road trip!

    Outdoor cover needed for this summer, recommendations?

    If you're talking about "permanent" outdoor storage ... I think you're also talking about a lot of money. Had an outdoor cover for my 2001 Audi TT convertible. Cost over $250. Lasted about two months, and didn't save the canvas top from mildew.

    The Hog Phenomenon

    I like Harleys.

    "I want you to enjoy your bike."

    Time DOES heal, brother. It doesn't heal the point where the injury is invisible, or the body part is "good as new". You really wouldn't want that; true? Portugal? You had better post up with photos of the Algarve, or I'll book a seat on the first 737 Max B to Heathrow and kick your bad ankle.

    Time for a new mistress

    Me, too. A 700cc version would be perfect for hauling a picnic lunch along a day's worth of National Forest roads.

    sena crap

    What he said: The mic has a slot only on one side: on the side you're NOT supposed to talk into. I had the dickens of a time hearing Kelly talk, until I messed with her Sena while she was in the ladies' room. Sure enough, the mic 'tooth' was facing her. Twisted the boom around and had the...

    FJR Has Gotten Too Heavy. What To Buy?

    I agree with the understanding that it's really about a lower center of gravity. Yeah, I know what a Gold Wing weighs, but it has a heavy boxster 6 down low AND a reverse gear. How many times have you seen them used to demonstrate how to pick up a dropped bike? Gotta be a reason ...
