Oh, please. Like Skooter doesn't remember exactly when Yamaha makes it's annual announcement. It brings him the almost perverted joy being the guy every year to start the new model year topic. Probably sits around all day hitting re-fresh on his browser. ..."perhaps October time frame"...

In 6 years, I'm on my third 550. Twice the units would not boot up. Did the simultaneous button holding deal, tried removing the battery, etc. Both times Garmin support had me send it in. Once they returned me a refurb at no cost and the other time I paid the bill. I've also had a mount...

Very cool final self-portrait, Dale. Looks like it was a great day.

liljohn...I'm not too keen on the concept of trying to raise the FJR bars more than what you have. Might work, might not. Hopefully some other members with experience can chime in here. Tells us about the bike you're willing to sell for 4 grand.

Right in the Motorcycledaily article: $30K. Makes a Ducati MS S look like a steal.

It's not like we didn't know it was coming. We were warned in April this was a possibility. Krauthammer's got a pretty good column here on how to stop the bleeding. I believe he's missing one significant point: dealing with the fact that around 47% of citizens pay zero federal income tax...

I've got a shot rotor and I'd like to upgrade to 320mm rotors on my '03. Anyone have 2004 or 2005 fork lowers laying around? Can you point me in the right direction for a set? I'd hate to have to upgrade to a Gen II to improve my brakes ;)

Nice...very nice. Congrats to all. Tim, please take this in the spirit that it's meant...there's no place to go but down! :)

Just checked the recording of Silverstone tomorrow and discovered that Speed has the world superbike races labeled as supercross. :blink: My DVR would not have recorded it. You might check yours.

Folks...Lori (BKR CHK) posted a plea for help over on the LD Rider list. She's been out of work for quite some time and is now out of money and must vacate her Tualatin OR apartment. While some friends are taking her in, she needs to move her belongings to a nearby storage unit. Alchemy and I...

Well I'll be a son of a gun... Nice work, Iggy! :yahoo: Blue and yellow paint scheme and all.

:lol: Thanks for the memories, Roy. The wife (then girlfriend) and I took a 9 day trip through BC. Stayed one Friday night in Nelson at the Lord Nelson Inn. Our room was RIGHT over the bar. The band was pretty damned loud. We didn't get a wink of sleep until well after 2 AM!

The simple solution would have been to ride it at night. (Skooter...not an F'ing word :rolleyes: )

Nice work, Brett. :) Yep, we have some great roads to ride in this state. Congrats on a first SS that avoided interstates. And congrats on having the smarts to purchase that seat BEFORE you needed it!

The Coos Art Museum is current hosting a vintage motorcycle display, Thunder at CAM. My good friend Jerry Smith is organizing a ride to eat in Coos Bay this coming Saturday. If you're looking for a place to ride this weekend, this looks like THE destination. WHAT: Lunch followed by Thunder...

What a ride, ****! You can absolutely say you've seen the North American Continent...in 11 days! Looking forward to the stories :)

The Iron Butt Rally...11 days, $11,000. :D

I am just in awe. What a ride!! :yahoo: Or to repeat my actual phone conversation with Iggy "_uck, dude".

This is a tough and personal call. Only the rider can make it and for sure it's better to be safe than sorry: there is always another ride. It's also a good call with the Mrs. since one can point to the fact that when and if you're in too deep you have a track record of making a good decision...
