As we did last year, Grace and I will head up Sunday trailer in tow and camp a few days before we hit the hotel Wednesday-ish. Hopefully any rain will be of the brief thunder shower type, rather than the suck-the-soul-out-of-you all day and night deluge we were in last year whilst camping. I...

Thanks Fred!

Washed mine there since we camped earlier in the week when we encountered heavy dew. Had to wash the mud off so I could tell where the bike ended and the trailer began. :yahoo: Happy wet camper giving TWN salute.

Hi! My name is Carl and I am a Shorai early adopter. There! I've said it. I believe I'm LightSider # 2. Actually, I'm quite pleased with the battery so far (since I bought it last February, I think). Now that the bike will be parked for a month or three at a time, I'll get some idea of how...

...and you may be riding it at too low rpms. If you're tooling around under 2000 rpm, mileage will be poor. O

I've bought many gallons of beer with the money I've saved by doing my own maintenance.

Triples are without a doubt THE best engine for a motorcycle. Now if Yamaha could make a 1300cc triple sport tourer, I'd be all over it.

Thanks Alan. I have my poorboy Zumo (Nuvi with a sandwich bag) on the left. Thinking RD on the right.

I'm sure someone must have tried this. I have a gen 1. Thanks!

100%. God, I'm ooold.....

There's a spreadsheet link around here somewheres that tracks current vendor prices of tires that fit the FJR (excludes darkside). :rolleyes:

I think my wife needs a new battery; didn't work when I tooted the horn... :blink: When I explained the procedure she gave me the TWN salute. :finger:

So you're telling me you didn't take it for a quick blast around the neighborhood with the cans off?? Hmmm??

Why DID she think we were Pirates??

Interesting; not one reply from someone who actually lives in Massachusetts. Regarding insurance, you forget that Mass is the Mitt Romney mandatory health insurance state, so everybody already has that. (OK, OK, so he signed it so that he wouldn't seem obstructionist, even though it would have...

re: crank sensor. I managed to crimp the lead from the crank sensor under the crank/timing chain cover whilst doing the timing chain adjuster. Ran, but ran like sh!t. I believe it is a shielded cable (like a guitar or microphone cable). Might be worth checking along the cable for damage to...

I initially tried the tank bag location, but the GPS got fryin' hot. Stuck a ram ball in the left side unused mirror mount and put it there. Slap a baggy on it in the rain. Worked well at NERDS. I use a Garmin 1490LMT; it has a huge screen which favors old eyes...

Nice Video!! Even FredW would like this one. :rolleyes: The backing track sounded great in my studio control room cranked up in the monitors. Excellent editing job, too, especially the ending. :yahoo:

re: pain in the middle of the back; When riding 2 up I sometimes get this with the stock windshield down. If I raise the windshield, the pain goes away. I have bar risers/setbacks and a Russell Day Long. I might try removing the riser/setback setup this spring as I put them on before I got...
