Had a great ride yesterday. 404 miles and the biggest surprise to me was that my bike odometer was within 1 mile of my GPS over that distance -- if only the speedometer were as close. Left the house at 0600 and shot down Rt 95 to Petersburg. Spent a little time riding around the old part of...

Lorie and I have an LL Bean "duffel" bag we got for something else and it fits perfectly.

I'll take this as no one is interested so far. I've changed my itinerary a bit after reading some of Shelby Foote's last volume on the ending of the unfortunate unpleasantness that was the American Civil War. I'm going to bite the bullet and shoot down I-95 and hit Petersburg and then follow...

There but for the grace of God goes most of mankind!

Av8rider -- to be honest, I haven't used it in a while. I have used it without the top box and you have to be careful, but you can keep it away from the exhausts. Nope, it doesn't stretch - at least not that I can tell. Hard to go with what size to get, but remember mine's an XL, a large...

The clean garage is pretty nice! We've made a sustained effort to have a garage that we can actually put 2 cars in. Right now it has $300 worth of Eucalyptus wood that I'm going to make 2 Adirondack chairs out of, but it usually has both cars and the bike. You can see part of my brand spankin'...

I agree with Fred, I have the Givi mount and it works just fine. Not the best looking mount, but then neither am I!

Next to the tape measure.

Here's are some pictures: Here's what it looks like in the bag as sitting on my rear seat and on the deck with a tape measure. 12" x 6" (Bag), you can squish it smaller. In case you forgot, here's what on 05 looks like with a Givi 46: Here are two pictures, first with the Givi 46 on and...

Always on. Figure they'll help protect my legs if I go down. Chicks dig 'em too!

I have the NR UV 2000. Hate to post this, but I can't recall the size. Believe I got the biggest because I also have the Givi V-46 and wanted to make sure it would cover the bike with the Givi on the bike. Cover fits nicely, more than a 1/2 cover even with the Givi on the bike. Kinda like...

My beautiful wife is with her sister at the beach for the week and weekend. To assuage my melancholy I just might take a trip to Appomattox Courthouse and then run over to the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Va if anyone is interested. I'd most likely depart Stafford VA at 0600 and plan on...

I just finished running here at Quantico, 90 degress and 192.5% humidity. Amen on Iggy's Gen I comment.

I use one of my OEM bags to carry stuff back and forth to work. It is falling apart by the way. I'd buy a small duffle bag or the like from Land's End or LL Bean's before I'd spend that kind of money on Yami bags. My humble opinion they are wildly overpriced for what you get. We have one of...

I ride year round in VA and have happily ridden in 20 degree weather. I have never felt the need for a heated seat as my alternate brain recepticle has never felt cold. HOWEVER, I think if you were to ride for a significant length of time, say 1.5 hours or more, you would benefit from a heated...

- First aid kit with items suggested by an earlier (much earlier) thread. - Slime pump - Tire patches - both the mushroom plugs which I'll only offer to other folks with flat tires, and the sticky string which - I'll use on my bike! - Gerber multi-tool - Silly little reflective vest so I can...

I did the install after Randy and learned a lot from him and his posts. You might consider this, I used wires, heat shrink, switches and other "stuff" that I bought at a boating supply store. I figured that if it was designed for boats then it would work well for bikes. Good luck, this is...

Glad to hear that Brian. Vint Hill road is nice, is that 619? Sometimes I'll ride N or Rt 1 and get on 619 just across from the MCB Quantico and ride it out to Rt 28. Very nice road.

Might be jumping the gun here, but I registered week before last and haven't seen an invoice yet - how long should it take?

Personal opinion, I wouldn't let Coleman's clean my windscreen let alone do anything more complicate on ole' Matilda.
