In looking at the picture, I would bet that that bike is an 08 KLR650. I bought one just a month ago in red also and that sure looks like it from the picture. No way on earth anyone could confuse a KLR for an FJR. But it wasn't me. I was on vacation that night, whenever it was, and was somewhere...

I'm sure that the stats are right but I spent years on horses, working cattle, amateur rodeos, trail rides and basic riding before the motorcycle thing and although I had lots of bruises, bites, kicks, stomps, crashes, and unexpected get offs I never broke anything until I got a motorcycle then...

Looks like the only cure for stupidity is a motorcycle ride. Chester

What are you talking about. You apparently have never seen our hill. And we don't have no stinking kph's. Great report Mark, look forward to the more. I think that next year, or maybe this winter to avoid the mosquitos :blink: , I need to ride up to Canada and go fishing and see the...

Got home in Kansas City last night after a nice little 13 hour 850 mile jaunt on Monday to Springfield, MO to attend a continuing education class Tuesday. Rode along with Petey, St. Louis FJR, WheatonFJR, and Smitty141. Riding with those guys does make the time and miles go by fast. How was the...

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. Damn but it seems like collapsed lungs and motorcycle wrecks go hand in hand. Chester

Have to agree. Keith spent quite a bit of time with me and I did not buy at the time. I really like the guy from my conversation and if you get Autocomm, he is your man. After having talked to Bike Effects Jeff, another great guy, I prefer his system and will go with him when the time comes...

The Kansas City Harley plant, which produces the V-Rod and other models, is having a big open house this weekend starting today, Frid. 09/07 and running through tomorrow. There will be plant tours, the Harley Davidson traveling museum, some Harley demo team, Harley rides on all of their models...

Sounds fine to me. As long as we have enough gas and keep heading east we will get there. The only thing that I want to see for sure is the New River Bridge and that is close to where we are. Chester

Steve that would be great. When it was originally drafted, I thought that Skip was going to come across and meet us from St. Louis. Indiana Tom may be joining us but he could just run a little bit further south and meet us. Two parts of the route were based upon recommendations from a Readers...

XM just played the Yes version of the S & G song. Hopefully you found America although long days, limited rest, and mix in a little, make that a lot of bad weather I am sure that it is all a blur. Congratulations. Chester

Thanks to all of you for your efforts to make this a successful gathering. Hopefully we will be deserving of your efforts. And, whether we are or not, we do appreciate it. Chester

These guys are pretty damned good. The way they make handling these big bikes look so effortless. Chester https://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...&pr=goog-sl

Just spoke to Smitty and we need to plan on where we will spend Thursday night and get our rooms reserved. Probably Lexington, KY but more likely Owingsville, KY. Smitty mentioned that Indiana Tom, hope I got that right, would like to join us and these would be somewhat logical places for him...

Personally I couldn't care less who wins and how many points they get. The only thing that matters is that they all get home safe and sound and get to tell their kids and grandkids about it. This whole ride in the course of human events is pretty inconsequential. Ask anyone on the street how the...

I have the following one. Doesn't take up very much space, is pretty quiet for an air compressor and has pretty good capacity. They are frequently on sale and I got mine for the sale price with a 3/8 pneumatic ratchet. I had two of them, one at my farm and one in town until some a**holes broke...

The Axeman's got a good point. If you want to chop the size of the groups (pun intended) it might work out a little better. There is an awful lot of hurry up and wait with long "ques." I have been on trail rides on my horse and the people in the back are either standing and waiting at...

Lots of good advice. #1 and probably most important, stand by your word. If you do the job correctly and timely they have nothing left to ***** about, although they still might. You are in peoples houses and disrupting their life so get in and get out. I am a CPA and you need to find a local...

The guy in blue next to Smitty in the first picture is his big brother Darrell. BMW rider, Iron Butt member and a hell of a guy also. Their mom slapped then around just enough to turn out two great guys. You really need to see him operate in person to get an appreciation of how he flies around...

It looks like the ride there will be as good as the ride there. Mark aka FJRWheaton, you need to make a detour at the Border and come join us in Hooterville. See you in a few weeks. Skip, I'll be back there with you, uh, just to make sure your safe, yeah thats it. <_< We'll let Steve...
