I for one would like to see a list of motels that other bike travelers would recommend . Based on how bike friendly it is, how clean it is , can you park in front of the door and last but not least , how much does it cost. How many times have you been looking for a motel, getting one and then...

I recently returned from a trip to Flagstaff, Arizona . I went to see my brother and also planned on returning thru Utah and see some of the places that I missed the last couple of times that I was out there. My trip started in the rain and continued in the rain thru Iowa, Neb and eastern...

It's Saturday now so, Thank you folks for the real answers :clapping: And for you Jokers :assassin: . Mac :lol:

Although I am from Iowa, I have ridden the roads you are talking about, actually about 3 times. Love your state, wish I could move. Mac

I am about to install a new battery and was wondering if there is any information stored that I should worry about. I would imagine that I would have to re-set the clock. Thanks Mac OOPS, I just realized that it is Friday. :rolleyes:

Geez, Scooter, That was a nasty spill . Sure looked like no fault of yours, the gravel is hard to see. Hope you bike turns out ok. Get well, ride again. Mac

+ At least 5 by now, Mink Oil. Also I would check the glueing of the sole to the boot. Once your feet start getting wet that is usually the reason. The liner has not changed.

I ride an 07 FJR. I had Smittey install sliders soon after I bought the bike. Off and on since then , when I read something about slider torque I would tell myself that I should re-check the troque. On the way home from SFO I noticed , at least I thought I did, more viberation in the foot...

I would agree with Aircraftrunner. Ignacio , you probably know exactly what is going on but I for one would like to know what I am getting for my 140$ besides a tee shirt. If that is all it is a damn expensive shirt. What is the program ? I would like to show up but I would like to know more...

I had about 4 hours of medium to heavy rain and then about one hour of extreme rain. Thunder, lightning and water and more water. In two places cars were pulling off to the side of the Interstate , I kept on trucking as I did not feel like being rear ended. Eleven hours later and I am home...

Nasty, glad to hear you are up and about after that. Hope you can make SFO , might see you there. Mac

I recently had my main switch replace per the recall and I just noticed today that my throttle cables are not contained by the wire loop along side the switch. Right now only the front brake cable is contained and it seems like the throttle cables should be also. Would someone be kind enought...

I used velcro to " almost " keep my lid closed. Mac

I had the same problem with BT021's. I went back to the orgional BT020 and the problem went away. Just getting ready to install a set of PR so will see how they work. Mac

When it gets older does it get wrinkles. :yahoo:

Geezer, If you are going to go on to Prudhoe Bay find yourself an old bike as it is a nasty road the last couple of hundred miles. Just my .02 Mac

Sounds like you may be having the same problem that I experienced with my 07 not too long after I purchased it. Yamaha put some foam rubber material between the fairing and the engine, just ahead of your left foot. The foam on my bike moved to where it was touching the hot exhaust pipe and I...

Do not run less pressure because of rain. It is pounds per square inch that counts and the less you have the easier it is to hydroplane. The time to be extra careful on a wet road is just after it starts to rain and has not washed all the muck off the road yet. Sometimes it is better to find...

If you insist on doing a little wrenching I have a Ural for sale. :rolleyes: Mac

I thought this was interesting. I turned the main switch on, did not start the bike, and turned the cc on. The on led came on and then I pushed the set button and the on light stayed on . I did this several times and everything worked as it is supose to. I also hit the acc. button and it...
