Usually mid 40's by calculator. Normally get the best mileage with a passenger. With all the torque we have the extra weight doesn't matter as much as the twist of the wrist....

That's me too.

Jill, so very sorry to learn of your loss. Our pets are most certainly "people" too. If I had to chose to save a much beloved pet or some of the folks I've met, a few of those folks would be in real trouble. Take care.

Agree do the Full PADI Course not the quickie resort things. I did it before a trip to the US Virgin Islands over 20 years ago. Never regretted it. I also did the underwater navagation thing as well. I seem to recall that it wasn't much extra work. I still recommend getting a local guide...

Nice job. Very much agree that it should be pinned or saved in the bin-of-facts.

Observation: Women Drs usually have smaller hands!

garauld you're a good guy!

When I first started driving the car I managed to get in a minor fender bender with my Dad's second car & the one he usually drove. No harsh words or punishement. He didn't have it repaired. Worst punishment I could ever have had. Felt bad for years-everytime I saw that fender. Fix the bike...

"No" and "Not if they can tell someone else what to do"

So very sorry to hear this. We never met but I felt that I knew him well through this wonderful forum & group of folks.

Generally don't like group rides. Much prefer one or two trusted riding friends with similar skills, attitudes, & performance bikes. Forget the ducklin style rides- much too structured for me. The big rides for charities that draw thousands of bikes I just plain feel aren't safe. I've seen...

My first reaction was that you know her the best & may be correct..........Then I started thinking; I started riding at 14 on a Cushman Super Eagle in a town of ~40K with no real instruction & the auto written test. If you made it around the block you got your M/C license and that was good for...

I think most folks on the forum are more qualified to write the test than whoever did write it.

Sorry to hear about your drop. I figure as the FJR has a relatively high cg & is fairly heavy that most of us will drop it at one point or another. It's like a guy said once: "Something will happen to all of us. It's just has it happened yet or not?"

SpinBlue, Your AK08 photos are great! Thanks for posting the link in your sig. line.

Sorry about the lay-down. Hope all are OK.

You're right. Easy to forget. I try to always hit the cancel button anytime I upshift just in case I forget.

Throttle body sync. will probably help at your 600 mile inspection. I also use a Throttle Rocker. Good luck.

7 of 9 can ride with me anyday!

Remember that you have to live with yourself after it's all over. Also that lawyers tend to stir things up in order to increase fees. Chose your battles. Try to look at the big picture. Listen to legal advice but make your own decisions. Find someone you can trust to talk to. Stay busy...
