    The Void 6

    Kitty.... you are absolutely right.... so tonight I told my wife, family and relatives from Texas that I would be riding this weekend rather than spending time with family over a turkey dinner. They took it much better than I thought they would. BTW: Does anyone have know where I can find an...

    Homemade Steering Bearing Socket

    Very clever. I think it is great when someone comes up with a different solution to a problem.

    The Void 6

    I would love to participate in the Void. Unfortunately, it is always scheduled on the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

    Did I buy a BMW?

    I my opinion it looks like you have a bad seal inside the pumpkin. There are two seals that prevent the final drive oil from leaking from the pumpkin into the shaft area (which is hollow and simply acts as a protective cover for the shaft) and out the weep oil. I had the same type of leakage...

    Hmmmmm. I may just have to visit ya to check it out. I say the CBR at the Detroit show and I was very impressed. Based on your recommendation it has just moved to the top of the list.

    cbr250r

    Love the look of the CBR250. Definitely considering picking up one for my son as a starter bike. Got to take one out for a test ride....I bet it would be a blast.

    On-line Parts Dealers?

    I use CycleParts Warehouse for both the FJR and ST. The big issue for me is shipping to Canada and they seem very comfortable with international shipments. Good prices and quick turnaround. Not perfect but the service is excellent and they will sort through issues quickly. Cycleparts warehouse

"The United States lost its top-notch AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s on Friday in an unprecedented reversal of fortune for the world’s largest economy.

    So doc..... are you saying that my prognosis is good if I focus all my energy on my ST1100 instead of the FJR???

    Farkles Gone Wild

    I used to have "Farkelosis" but believe that it has progressed into "Farkleitis". Looking for an unbiased second opinion before I seek help.

    Top Box

    I removed my Yamaha top box and replaced it with a Givi V46 with Admore lighting and the Givi steel rack (replacing the stock handrail). I like the internal space layout better on the Givi.

    DAY RIDE: Yellowstone/Chief Joseph Scenic Highway

    Thanks for sharing Dale. The Chief Joseph Scenic Highway is unbelievably beautiful and scary fun at the same time.... The mark of a truly great motorcycle road! It is on my bucketlist of "must do rides". The closet I came was riding Bears Tooths pass last year in the middle of the night on...

    Congrats Tim. It is well know that Team Strange fields some of the most competitive LD Riders... to win against such riders is a major accomplishment. In fact I just looked at the MN1K participants list and it reads like a LD Celebrity list. Derek.. Congrats on your finish. BTW: I thought...
