    McCruise Control

    Ralph - now that you have had a bit of time using it any new learnings? After my 4000 mile trip from TX around Lake Superior and back I am a bit more motivated. Now just to find a wad of cash.

    Stuff from my Gen II, including Smuggler

    A black smuggler would have looked fine with a cherry bike.

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    Just wanted to provide an update on the boots. I just spent two weeks in the boots traveling from Austin, TX around Lake Superior and back (estimated at about 4000 miles). We had heat, cold and rain. We did a decent amount of walking on several days - hiking paths, up and down stairs a little of...

    SS-1000 check

    The last week or so has been wonderful. I met up with my brother (Super Tenere) and his friend Eric (V-Star) and the 3 of us have been making our way around Lake Superior. The Minnesota side and Ontario side are fantastic. Hundreds of miles of great views. The Michigan and Wisconsin sides are ok...

    The Witness

    Congrats! I am going to try an SS-1000 this weekend. I have read through a ton a lists of things to and not to do. Do you have anything that stood out for you? Joe

    Hydration

    I ordered the Hydration System from Garauld (Gary). It arrived this afternoon. The foot peg rubber had already been removed in anticipation of the brackets arrival. By the way those footpeg screws are blue loc-tited on. I wrecked the philips heads trying to loosen them. I ended up dremeling some...

    Hydration

    I am looking at options for hydration. I have a camelbak unbottle (3 Litre). It has loops on the side to provide a easy attachment to the back side of my pelican case. I was considering just a couple of bungee cords. Then it occurred to be - the cords would put pressure on the bladder. Once the...

    New guy with lots of questions, plus "How do you ride this thing"

    ^^^^ I am in Texas and installed heaters. I also have a full cadre of heated gear. It gets chilly for a few months. This keeps me riding.

    McCruise Control

    No direct experience but this is also an upgrade that I have considered - certainly less expensive than a new bike. I am in Cedar Park and wiling to help. Joe

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    The tow box is definitely taller than any other boot I have worn. I am going to move the shift linkage to the top of the range to see if that makes it easier to shift.

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    Ouch this was a little cheaper after you add shipping and tax. I got them in 3 days - so that is a consideration I guess.

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    I have read that the high boots will restrict which pants fit over them. I have jeans on this morning and the legs fit over the tops of the boot easily.

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    I was at Kohls last week end and grabbed a measurement from that foot measure thingy ma jig. In regular sneakers I wear a 12. That measurement showed a little more length than a 12. I bought the 47 based on my toe being a little over the 12 line and this boot wont give like a tennis shoe. There...

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    I have been wearing them around the house this morning. They are very comfortable to walk in. Shifting will have a learning curve. I expect to have to tip my foot at a steeper angle to allow for the larger toe box. They are a great looking boot.

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    The Fedex truck just pulled away after dropping off my new motorcycle boots. Forma Adventure Low boots. Right out the box these went on - I am walking around the house in them today. They offer a substantial amount of protection. At the same time they are very comfortable. I am a happy camper. I...

    Sold - Logo'd Yamaha FJR Cover

    It is a heavy fabric. Small bag? How do you define small? Just kidding. This is a cover for your bike in the garage or if you are in a location where you store it. I wanted a travel cover. I just placed an order for a Nelson Rigg half cover.

    Tech Day?

    Thanks for the offer. I think we are set pretty well. There are actually 4 of us. They have the trip planned out. Actually taking several days to go around the lake. That will be the easiest part of the journey for me.
