    Dunlop Road Smarts -HOLY CHRIST!!!

    Nope. I'm on my second set now, the third should be here Monday or Tuesday, and I'll be mounting them before the Georgia FJR Rally next weekend. The first two sets were no harder to mount than any of the others I've tried. IMO, the FJR's rear wheel is difficult with any tire, but I don't have a...

    North Georgia FJR Rally!! Mark your calendar!

    Apology accepted, but not necessary. I was just giving you a hard time. :P Actually, the ride was...um interesting...no adventurous. I don't regret not turning back. I might have if I had dumped the bike, but I never really came close. No regrets, the scenery was beautiful, but I'm pretty...

    North Georgia FJR Rally!! Mark your calendar!

    Oh yeah, I took your "alternative" route from Ft. Mtn. to Suches today. There were several miles of gravel/dirt roads, at one point; I was in 1st gear climbing a small mountain over what must have been a pig trail because it was barely wide enough for a motorcycle. **** Dom, where do you ride...

    North Georgia FJR Rally!! Mark your calendar!

    George, Dom (ngarider) has just the ticket for you. His long route is NiteyNightAdvanced2 and is a bit shy of 400 miles of some of the finest twisties in the valley. I suppose a lot of rides will leave a little after 9; but this one is gonna take all day and will require a 7AM or so start. Let...

    Tennessee Hwy 30

    Copy that. We could even let the JAWJA contingent take point like last time. It's easier for me to follow vapor trails :D (LOL) than garmin tracks anyway. Ahem…paging Mr. Twisty and GSP. Now about the "stunter"! Rich, did you show him YOUR stunting skills? Sounds like ya'll had an awsome...

    Michelin Pilot Road-2

    Thanks for the review, Jeff. I was going to make the PR2's my next tire, but now I think I'll stick with the Roadsmart's again. This will be my 3rd set of Roadsmart's and I am fairly pleased with the performance and the mileage. However, the set on right now has a strange cyclic vibration at...

    R1 Powered Golf Cart

    Check out this video of an R1 powered golf cart. I wonder if the local country club would allow it? :unsure:

    North Georgia FJR Rally!! Mark your calendar!

    The wife and I bought a new (smaller) tent the other day in preparation and we are planning on camping off the bike. It should be interesting. We will be loaded down like the Clampett's moving to Beverly. I'll try to remember to get some pictures. :)

    What touches down next..

    There is lots of tread available on the FJR when the pegs touch. That is why I don't get too concerned when they touch. However, it is MUCH safer when you remember that "slow in, fast out" is better and faster. I think as long as you don't overcook your turn entry, the risk is fairly low, IMO.

    What touches down next..

    Left side: kickstand Right side: exhaust pipe I'm just guessing.
