Slime also makes a "Powersports" compressor, same price, but it comes with with permanent battery connections, which have a 15-amp in-line fuse. (The motor runs on 10 amps.) I ran the line from battery to the middle "slit" on right side fairing, so I have a quick hookup for the air pump, plus...

Name the meeting place. I'll be there.

I travelled to the SFO rally last week, and found that I get much better fuel economy when I travel alone. In a group on the open road, if following other bikes, you are constantly accelerating/decelerating to keep a proper spacing. This dropped my mileage compared to running alone at more...

Sounds like you had a great time. Welcome home.

ZTR mowers do not do a good job if your terrain is hilly. Also, with a ZTR you must use both hands, which precludes drinking beer while driving.

His *******?

I'm home from my 2nd SFO gathering. I must say that I was very surprised at the number of folks that showed up, and the number of miles travelled to get there. Even more, I am greatly impressed at the quality of people who choose to be members of SFO. You gals and guys taught me so much, both...

TUESDAY - Weather news gets a little better: Rain chances diminish in the afternoon for Thursday. Probability for Friday thunderstorms down to 40% now. But daily highs for Friday and Saturday are forecasted to be in the 60s, and nightly lows in the upper 40s. Bring warm clothing for rides! Phil

Vieja con Dios.

Also got mine, lightning quick. Thanks, Toecutter! Phil

Buy the Nelson-Rigg UV2000, size XL. It is a "half-cover," and fits above the exhaust cans. It fits the FJR almost perfectly, with the side bags mounted. Cost is about $30 from New Enough website. Phil

The reason for down is that if you are packing on a motorcycle, it packs to about 1/2 the size of synthetic, weighs less, and provides more insulation. Nothing works if it gets soaked.

That's a great idea! Thanks, Iggy.

Sears Craftsman 30 gal. upright, 6 hp motor. With tools, about $300. 5 years, no problems. And, although it has wheels, it's a bit too large for the neighbors to want to borrow!

Good job! Glad to hear the bike responded as you needed. But of course it's 99% the brain connected to the bike that counts.
