I have a friend who has a new one for sale. (10.4 gal.) ‘18 paint.

really wanted to make this Craig. Just got back in Florida from riding (In Iowa too) Have a great birthday and eat some pie for me.

Yes…. And I said I would never darkside my FJR also, but here I am. I’ve got 246k out of my POS Gen 2- miracles do happen!

The daily average was much higher than it looks. I took 2 days off with my father. The gold rides are very tough with these end2end rides. I rode 38 hours straight on one ride and only finished 1 hour ahead of deadline. Construction delays and traffic really make these tough rides.

Back home this morning. 15 days on the road 15,644 miles 7 Interstate EndtoEnd rides completed with 7 “Gold” finishes (Pending certification) Thoughts: I can say I am astounded (Frustrated) at the volume of traffic on these rides. The Dallas area has been removed as a possible retirement...

I-25 was going so well. I was running about 2 hours ahead of time limits, when the nail (That I couldn’t find) came out of the tire. At 80 mph the tire went flat very quickly. High speed wobble scared the crap out of me. I had to pump the fuel from aux tank to main tank, remove the bags and...

The I-20 ride was going very smooth, perhaps too smooth. In Dallas area my car tire went near flat. Inflated it and rode on. No nails, screws… could be found. That started the stress, which started the fatigue. I took an unscheduled motel stop before I start the I-25 ride tomorrow. Did some...

I am thinking of dropping the I-35 ride and spend more time with family and work on the bike a tad bit.

Last ride sucked! With construction and detours and traffic, I never got the ride under control. I rode 38 hours with (2) 5 minute breaks.   The ‘08 is begging out of this ride. Lost the horn, one headlight and almost seized the engine today. It’s the first FJR that I’ve had that goes through...

The I-40 is a tough ride with the bridge detour in Memphis. Same mileage as a 50cc, but 10 hours less to do it. I needed a big rest to catch up logs, attend injuries and clean gear. Midnight start tonight. Plan is to ride at least 1700 miles, take a 2 hour nap, then complete the remaining distance.

Really ! Are you doing NAFO?

These rides are taking their toll on me. Per rules, you cannot deviate from the main interstate. Yesterday, in Vegas, the interstate was just “Shut down” directed off I-15 with no detour… nothing. It’s been frustratingly! All 3 rides have had this happen now. Temperatures have been 50-114...

I have done the “East Coast 2000” in 33 hours. That ride (I-95) will be part off my last 4.

You bet ! I am loving it !

   I will be leaving out this Saturday morning to attempt 7 Interstate End To End rides in the context of a 10/10ths. Going to be attempting I-75 / I-94 / I-15 /I-40 / I-20 / I-25 / I-35 Somewhere in between the I-25 and I-35 rides, I should hit the 10k mark for a 10/10ths. A Quick visit to...

There are a few Hoka Hey riders in this rally. I know Ken Andrews and I believe Chris Hopper also may be more.

The ‘05 FJRs are rocking!   4th and 5th in standings.

A smaller field of riders this year, but a very talented and experienced group. I can tell I am going to get nothing accomplished these next 11 days.

I started riding long distance back in 2009.  The ride that intrigued me was the 100CCC, it was being sponsored by an organization called "Hoagy's Heroes" The ride was so wonderful and adventurous that it began my journey. Its been nearly 600,000 miles since then, but that ride stands out as one...

What is her OD at now? I ask because I am about 21k short on my ‘08. I’ll be in Cali again in July, but quite a bit south of you.
