    Update on black bike week in Myrtle Beach

    Busted, but aren't most places nicer than that? I'm only allowed it places I wouldn't want to go. It's kinda depressing.

    Update on black bike week in Myrtle Beach

    I thought about buying a Harley once but when the dealer noticed my lack of tattoos and leather he asked me to leave.

    Earphones

    I have a short commute to work so I just use the Sena speakers. If I'm going to be on the bike longer or on the highway I put in my Etymotic earbuds. They sound far better than the speakers as well as cutting wind noise but aren't worth putting in for a quick trip.

    The Witness

    I'm home safe and sound after 1,986 miles over the 3 day weekend. I know that's nothing to masters like Rider-X but I'm feeling kinda proud right now. Everybody's gotta start somewhere right? Somewhere around the 1200 mile mark I think Master Yoda spoke to me. I thought I had the riding...

    The Witness

    I was doing well enough today I felt I could spare some time so I rode the Natchez Trace the last 100 or so miles. I'm currently showered and sipping an excellent wine at my parents house. Bun Burner 1500 complete. I have even more respect now for folks like 101pathfinder, Ignacio, Puppychow...

    The Witness

    I'm in Starkville, MS eating right now. Only 170 miles to go and 5 hours left for my Bun Burner. Many thanks my friend for meeting me and feeding me. The food was excellent and much needed. As for heat, I did fine except for the 100 degrees in TX. In Sulpher Springs I rode in circles sweating...

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    You might be able to get by with that shield in the winter where you live but I need something taller for the winter months. I'll be putting my barn door back on by Halloween.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Enjoyed riding to work this morning in the cool 74 deg air after a whole week of mornings in the 80s and afternoons around100. Riding in the heat is okay with me as long as I keep moving. Yesterday I got caught by a train leaving base with the air temp on the bike reading 100 even. That was...

    Lemonade

    Loved all the "babbling brook" pics. I grew up around that area and am always a sucker for a tree-lined stream. I'm getting tired of hearing about you falling off your bike. That stuff has to stop! Also, sorry to hear about your dog. They aren't people but somehow they do become family.

    Billings motorcyclist topping 130 mph avoids arrest in high-speed chase

    Frankly I don't really care what happens to the biker. It would be horrible if he causes anyone else, civilian or police, to be injured or killed in his quest to die.

    Do you have a long commute?

    I did a year of 40 miles from one side of Atlanta to the other. It took anywhere from 40 mins to over 2 hours depending on crashes. The not knowing how long it would take each day was driving me crazy; not the distance or time. I spent 4 years commuting 30 miles from corn country in Illinois to...

    www.findmespot.com

    About 3 months ago my Spot Gen3 quit working unless it was plugged in. Batteries wouldn't work. I called to complain and they promptly sent me a new one. Not happy it broke after 6 months but I can't complain about their customer service.

    accessory outlets

    I put an Eastern Beaver fuse block under my seat. Then I ran the GPS mount cable to it. It also has my seat heater, tank bag power, plug for heated gear, etc. Fuse blocks really are worth the extra effort to install if you think you might ever want to power anything besides the GPS. On second...

    Do I Really Need Motorcycle Boots?

    I finally got around to buying some motorcycle boots last year but I used heavy work boots for years. Mostly I finally got tired enough of lacing them up to spend the money. I've spent decades crawling around, on and inside aircraft and riding bikes without ever getting a lace caught on...

    Temper, temper!

    My mom will drive in circles until a "close" spot opens but when I'm in the car I just take the first one available. On the bike I park at the front both to make it easy on myself and save the spots for the cars. I also figure there is less chance my bike will get messed with when a crowd of...

    2016 Moonshine Lunch Run

    My youngest boy just informed me he's running the hurdles in a state-wide meet on Saturday so I guess I'm out. I knew it was coming up but I guess I misunderstood the date. I'll be huddled in the stands trying not to freeze my *** on metal bleachers. Have fun and stay warm guys.

    Temper, temper!

    If the Walmart near me had motorcycle spots I would use them but they don't. At certain times the lot gets pretty crowded and I'm sure plenty of car pilots are happy I'm not occupying a spot. Where I work they have motorcycle slots and I park there. When I go to other base facilities they...

    Temper, temper!

    Pompous Cop: "Move your bike or I'll ticket it!" Me: "Make yourself happy" as I walk into the store. IF it's illegal to park in that area and IF he has authority to write a ticket in a private parking lot it is only a $10 ticket here which I will gladly pay just to piss him off since he's...

    senna/garmin question

    I'm fairly paranoid living in St Louis but I rarely bother taking mine off the cradle and I always lock the helmet to the bike. My Sena isn't all that easy to take off and remove. I also don't like leaving the connector pins exposed. I notice you list yourself as in Omahell. I spent too many...
