    I found room in the garage for a Vstrom

    Thanks! It is a great bike, it compliments the FJR quite nicely. Your Wee is Tim's old bike right?

    I found room in the garage for a Vstrom

    I've read many of your posts on a few Vstrom forums already. I really liked the look of the 2008 flat black and was leaning towards a wee for the gas mileage but that little guy on my shoulder was telling me I would miss the extra power especially coming from an FJR. Then this DL1000 dropped...

    Man-Strom, I thought about the girlie for a second but I knew I couldn't take the heat from Reno John :rolleyes:

    I found room in the garage for a Vstrom

    I've only had it a few days so... Short answer nothing that the FJR can't do, really just another bike to enjoy - here are a few notes: Vstrom: 1000cc 5.8 gal tank 360 watt alternator ~460 lbs 6 speed (overdrive) chain drive Pros: Lighter, sit higher (nice for commuting), I got it...

    Toll Transponder Location

    In WA they cost $30 each and are weatherproof - designed to mount to the front license plate of cars as well. Since I'm not paying $30 per bike I just carry it in my jacket or tank bag. So far so good...

    Who uses a Mac?

    Several of both, but Mac's have an edge in frequency of use and how current they are in our house. What can't you do Garmin wise on a Mac? - I think the Mac side of Garmin is far superior to their lame *** windows attempts at forcing alpha/beta software on their customers. I prefer Roadtrip...

    Getting this thing on the center stand is a _)*+(_*()*+)(U*!!!

    I don't endorse all of these ideas but maybe a video or three will help. (BMW)

    Info for the Californians out there

    I think this is the quote you may be referring to: "It's all about public perception. 'Splitting' is a negative word, whereas 'sharing' is positive. As example: Would you rather share my pie or have your head split open? ;) "

    WFO Spiral Highway

    On the way home from WFO I stopped and rode Spiral Highway above Lewiston, Idaho 7 times. Here is a link to the FULL 38 megapixel (15,064 x 2543) panoramic image I made if you would like a copy. Link (17 MB zip file) Free unzip tool if you don't have one I took the shot hand held (no...

    WFO 'Playas'

    Just rolled in. 7 trips up/down spiral highway on the way out of town (not a single person on the road - had it all to myself) Almost the same on rattlesnake grade, I had to pass two cars on the way out of Lewiston but after that I didn't catch another sole along the way until Enterprise. A...

    WFO 'Playas'

    I'm still here, my FJR looks pretty lonely in the parking lot all by itself... My wife and daughter drove out to join me for an extra day so I got to take our Saab 95 Aero on spiral highway twice today on the way to Costco and back. Heading home tomorrow the long way via spiral highway...
