I actually prefer my vented boots (TCX Air Tech Gore-Tex) over standard boots on the FJR. No problems with roasted tootsies (and I'm on an '03) compared to standard boots and a nice cooling effect when my feet are on the highway pegs. I bought these when TCX was still called Oxtar and I think...

Really spectacular pics. I hope this becomes an annual event. In a few more months, I'll be a SoCal resident. Looking forward to joining in the fun.

Traffic in, through, and around the DC area sucks and housing prices are stupid. I-95 throughout your region can become a nightmare anytime. But, really, that's about it as far downsides go. It's beautiful throughout that region. You can find pretty much anything you'd want in a short ride...

Finished fed and state last week and the local income tax over the weekend. I was in no hurry because I was writing checks, not getting them. Next year will suck because we're moving. Doing all the prorated stuff for each state and locale really blows. I'll have to start in January to finish by...

Purty bike. Someone's lucky. Congrats on the sale.

I actually rode through several in the eastern Oregon desert one trip. It was like my bike was a magnet for them. It didn't feel any different than a wind gust -- a little bit of movement but never knocked me out of my lane. Sure looked freaky, though. Others should note that the ones I rode...

Dang. Hate to say something nice on a dogpile Friday, but thanks, Fred, for the write-up. I've been setting aside time to dig through the zumo forum to figure out how to do this and, whammo, here's the answer. I appreciate it.

+1. Show that baby off! Congrats on the new ride. You're gonna love this bike. :yahoo:

I also think Spies won't beat Lorenzo this year. Up there fighting for the podium in nearly all races would be pretty good progress. On the other hand, this will be the first time he's worked with the same team two years in a row since he left AMA Superbike. That's got to be worth something...

Ditto that. Thanks for passing on the good news about the company. Really bad news about the low side. Hope you're okay.

Yeah, that was awesome news. Did I hear right that she's riding for M4? That's a good group to hook up with.

So where's the review? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

It has me reflecting on all the life I've lived since I turned 38 -- sixteen wonderful years with family and friends, watching my kids grow up, achievements in my life that I'm most proud of, experiences so broad I couldn't begin to list them all -- all denied to him by a killer. It brings home...

I also came to the FJR from a classic Connie. Oh, man, do I remember what you're feeling now. :yahoo: Enjoy the ride. It's a heckuva bike.

Well, dang. I completely missed that discussion. I gotta try that. I like your solution too, 86fj. I have one or two of those extensions laying around somewhere...

I think I'm with you on losing Tardozzi being the biggest mistake and with all you guys on the young lion argument. Haslam might be that guy. He really impressed me over the last couple of years. That race 2 ride on the broken leg -- epic stuff. Gotta say, though, that I'm not ready to write...

The Void's web site is at https://rallythevoid.org/. Not much happening there now, but you can get a sense of the thing. It's an outstanding LD rally. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Most definitely not. That's established fact. ;) Speaking of men and racing, I ran across this on facebook today:

The buzz last year was that the electronics were screwed up because the software was written by the car guys. The buzz now is that it's been worked out (at least, that's what Larry Pegram, who is running the beemer in AMA, is saying. He's a smart guy but I don't think he writes his own code, so...

Well, ultimately it's like any other comfort mod. It depends on the rider. For me, the one thing that absolutely had to change to do distance riding was the saddle. Some like the stock seat. For some, it's bar risers, but I've tried 'em and like the bike better without them. Regarding the pegs...
