    My bride bought me a new bike today!!

    Welcome to the club. These bikes are enjoyable in their own way. I use mine almost every day around town and the 60 mile one way trip to my farm which requires gravel roads once there. The upright riding position, wide handlebars, and light weight makes them easy to maneuver in traffic and they...

    Rope-A-Dope

    I am aware of a few instances of roping a deer from horseback. One broke the deers neck when the horse slammed on the brakes and started backing up and the other one was real exciting until he could get rid of the rope. I chased one on horseback about 1/2 a mile across a pasture one time until...

    My Update

    Adam my friend, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to follow the continuing Saga of Galaxy Blue but I'm very glad that it is a continuing Saga. Now just get your *** in shape so that you can join us at the Hooterville 400. We may have to put a governor on your bike though so that you ride at a...

    D & H Cycle experience

    I don't know Texas specifically but it should work the same way as other states. If you buy out of state, you will register it and pay registration fees and taxes based upon the rates were you live. I live in a ruaral area in KS were the sales tax is 5.3%. If I buy a vehicle in the cities of...

    Smitty's In So Cal "The Video"

    Very nice video but where the hell is all the California rush hour traffic? Also, you guys only got Smitty's bad side. Come to think of it, I guess both sides are the same. You all need to come back here and ride with him on the Southeastern MO and Arky roads and find out what a wild man he is...

    Smitty Comes to LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's about time that you guys send his **** dog *** back so that he can do the Daytona Bike trip thing and start getting ready for the "Hooterville 400". Not only that his dogs miss him. I think that his wife does too, not sure about that one. Its probably a whole lot more peaceful without him...

    Smitty Comes to LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just spoke to Smitty (6:25am CT) and he is in St. Louis traffic with his brother driving heading towards the airport. He has good weather shaping up here now and is heading for CA. Should have been there a week ago and here now.

    As Lucy would say: "RATS!!!"

    Down at my farm I have an old farm house. I have had problems with mice every winter but a couple of times I had pack rats. Those suckers would tear up glue strips and eat poison bait like candy and drag off traps. They chewed my mouse (ironic) cable and keyboard cable in two. I was also working...

    FYI-This is Squid, a close friend of GalaxyBlue (Adam)

    I first met Adam at Smitty's in August of 05 along with FJRocket. It just amazes me how many people he has touched in such a short time. This is one guy that needs to get better so that we can all see him again and new people have a chance to meet him too. He was amazing to watch ride. For his...

    The inevitable news I didn't want to hear....

    I realize that it bites the big one right now but your son and the sons and daughters of others are being prepared to take over in 10 - 20 years and be the leaders of tomorrow. Unfortunately there will always be wars and their experiences, although at a very high price, are going to be what...

    Hooterbuilt Aux fuel cell...what you think???

    Outstanding example of Hooter Technology. Now you only have to stop for a bathroom break or have you figured that out too. I thought that I saw a hole in the seat with a tube leading down which means you no longer lead the rides. Chester

    Smitty Comes to LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You guys are going to be very pleased with the cruise and Smitty. There is no going back once you get one. Do however be careful around Smitty. The first time I was in touch with him he convinced me to get a NoMar tire changer and after seeing how convenient his motorcycle lift was I wound up...

    Official Announcement: CFO 2007

    Its a little early for me to know for sure if I can make it but most probably will. Last year I left Kansas City on the 31st of Aug. and went across the northern tier of KS on 36 hy and spent the night in St. Francis, KS, almost to CO. Had a big storm that night and got up the next morning...

    Gary McCoy

    +1 for Mike. Ordered a bunch of small parts and later on a set of tires and was well taken care of. This was back in August or so.

    Skyway's FJR Sidestand Enlargement Footplate

    Me too. One of the vendors has a foot which you attach to the sidestand on a KLR but it has to be welded on and that does not work out real well for me. Chester

    FJR training video

    Thats it. Anyone want to buy an FJR cheap. I'm getting one of those little rockets. And the finish. I have seen no one do that on an FJR. Or any other bike come to think of it, at least not without outside assistance.

    Hooterville 400 spring fling!!!!

    Hell Smitty, if noting has shaped up by then you and me and anyone else can just keep on going after the Hooterfest. Living off the land, begging for spare change for fuel and tires.

    AE Rider Down in MO

    I just got an e-mail from Mike and he is back home in TX but I guess the healing both bike and body can officially begin. He is lucky and did get back up on the bike and go again. The helmet sure did save his head a lot of wear and tear. He was kind of groggy that evening but who would not have...
