    GSXR1000 owners, I Need some advice.

    Hanzo, I have both a Gixxer and an FJR now along with room to ride them in N Ga and all over the Appalachians. I hardly ever ride in city traffic in Atlanta. With all this room to roam, I can tell you there are few places on the street where you can pull the trigger on a 1K. Results are...

    Well, I'm following my own advice that it is time to ride. I'll be coming back east toward Birmingham after visiting the Honda Sport Touring Rally in the Texas Hill Country, followed by camping a few days in Big Bend National Park, and then returning via Arkansas with a few days of touring in...

    Warning Label Removal suggestions?

    "Goo Off"or vegetable oil will also work to dissolve the glue. You can use your thumb nail to lift the edges of the label. Using the hair dryer to warm the area first will aid your effort.

    Givi V46 lid color for '08?

    I received advice from Duane at Premier Cycle Accessories to go with gloss, as well. He stated there was one on display at a recent show and the gloss almost matched the factory paint so well that it was hard to distinguish the difference. My order for a V46 is going to be gloss. Also, you...

    T-Rex Racing sliders

    Joe, I installed a set, too. I've had a low side slide on a GSXR and consider sliders to be totally sacrificial. The hot list Skyway's seemed overpriced to me. I've raced and observed many race bikes that have had long slides. Delrin does not have enough "grip" to cause the bike to...

    North Georgia Ride

    There's a great article on managing the issues of riding and wives / SO's called Kitchen Points written by Jeff Hughes in the April 2008 issue of Sport Rider Magazine. I highly recommend it.

    EOM-08 Route files question

    Jeff, I have a pocket USB SD card adapter. Think we could "share" that way? Anyway, I was hoping we could download off an FTP site in advance of the rally. I'm new to this; so I'm guessing outloud. I did complete a download of Texas Hill Country routes and that was DAMN cool to do. At any...

    EOM 2008 Planning & Information

    EOM-08 Route files question

    Jeff, I think your idea and offer is fabulous. I just bought my ZUMO 550 and would love to be able to store all of your route planning on it. I'll be coming up the BRP from the Asheville area and have always turned west toward W VA on VA 39 near US81 and US64. It will be be nice to have some...

    Devil's Triangle Ride

    Yeah! I'll be there on my new black scoot. I look forward to my first group ride on it. I'm open for 2 days of riding and will complete the break in mileage. Anybody wanna be the lead dog for a modified MOTO MAN run? Maybe hotel plans can be left open as dictated by where we go and how fast...

    Wheel Wax Detailing on New FJR

    That is a VERY FUNNY Video, John. Thanks for sharing. I know some guys who are very seriously tempted by their Ducati motorcycles. Then, in a moment of passionate indecision, they walk away in frustration, not having known which hole to choose. Now had they been jailbird Harley bikers, they...

    Wheel Wax Detailing on New FJR

    Mike, Yo, I agree. I tweaked JWilly this morning about getting going on the project for our Ga FJR Riding Group. I'm working on an HSTA ride for March 9 with a rain date of March 16 up to Cashiers, NC for BBQ. We'll do the route up by Helen on GA356, then the road to Tiger, Warwoman Rd, GA /...

    Wheel Wax Detailing on New FJR

    I seriously thought about it; but didn't want to get the bike dirty before applying my Wheel Wax treatment. I'll try to get it out for a middle of the week run with some more 60 degree temps. I'm not surprised at the large turnout at Dales / TWO in Suches. It was a beautiful day in advance of...
